Storage on SD Cards
MOBOTIX cameras support the direct storage on an internal SD card (max.
16GB). By using this integrated SD card DVR, the camera has these additional ap-
plications:
• Stand-alone use of the camera without file server thanks to recording on
the SD card.
• High-security application with recording on a file server or NAS/SAN in
which the SD card serves as storage buffer. It can thus bridge longer failures
of the network or the file server without losing any video sequences (sup-
ported in a future software version).
• Event downloads from the SD card for evaluation of the recorded se-
quences on a computer.
Long-Term Storage on File Servers Included
MOBOTIX cameras feature an integrated long-term storage system on Linux,
Windows and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buffer
storage on the shared folder. This decentralized MOBOTIX concept is crucial in cre-
ating cost-efficient, high-resolution video systems since this approach drastically
reduces the required network bandwidth as well as the number of IT standard
components needed for managing a large number of HiRes cameras.
Event and Time-Controlled
Just like triggering event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the
image, the camera can also record when the volume detected by the microphone
exceeds a certain trigger value. Using scheduled daily recording, time tasks can
start or stop video recording, upload images to a web site or send e-mails with vi-
deo/audio clips. Vacation times and holidays can be programmed.
Remote Alerting
In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras automatically pop up windows or activate
other functions at a remote security control center. The cameras can use network/
wireless, GSM/GPRS/UMTS (3G) or Internet connections for this purpose.
Integrated Power-over-Ethernet
Power is supplied as Power-over-Ethernet via the network cabling us-
ing the MOBOTIX Power Adapter set, a Netpower Rack (8 or 20
cameras), a Netpower Box (4 cameras), or by using a PoE-compati-
ble switch (according to PoE standard IEEE 802.3af).
Since the MOBOTIX cameras use very little power (approx. 3Watts) and its well-in-
sulated plastic housing is anti-fogging, no additional heating is necessary. This is
why MOBOTIX, unlike other manufacturer's cameras, have low power require-
ments (3Watts) and PoE can be used every day of the year indoors as well as out-
doors for supplying power.
