The preset North position can be moved to any direction in the image; the camera

generates the three other directions automatically and stores them as separate

views.

Simultaneous Corrected Live Image and Full Image Recording

All commonly used PTZ cameras only

store the image that is currently viewed

in the live image (live image record-

ing). This has one serious disadvantage

as the recording can only show what

has happened in the "visible" portion of

the image; the rest is lost and cannot

be examined later on.

MOBOTIX has hence added the new

full image recording feature to the

Q22M. This will not store the currently

viewed image that reflects the pan/tilt

position and the zoom setting chosen by the user, but the full sensor image, with-

out vPTZ settings or image correction. When examining the recorded images, the

vPTZ features again come into play as they allow zooming the visible image and

use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

The vPTZ features thus provide a method for closer examining the recorded full

image video sequences. This also allows examining the parts of an image or

video after the event that had not been on the live image on display at the time of

the recording. The person highlighted by the red circle in the left image would not

have been recorded by a regular PTZ camera; the full image recording of the

Q22M in this example allows determining the exact time at which the person had

entered the image area recorded by the camera.

A browser (Internet Explorer with MxPEG ActiveX plug-in), MxControlCenter or the

new, multi-platform MxEasy (currently in development) can be used to examine the

recorded sequences.
