/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: The MOBOTIX Concept The MOBOTIX Concept HiRes Video Innovations The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept, has made highresolution video systems cost efficient. Whether in embassies, airports, railway stations, ports, gas stations, hotels or on highways - over one hundred thousand MOBOTIX video systems have been in operation on every continent for years.
/��� 156 The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept Unlike with other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept a high-speed computer and, if requested, digital memory (MicroSD/SD card) is built into every camera for long-term recording. The PC now serves purely for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record in response to an event even without the PC being switched on and digitally store the videos with sound.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: Innovative Hemispheric Technology INNOVATIVE HEMISPHERIC TECHNOLOGY The Hemispheric Camera The primary components of the hemispheric camera include a fisheye lens, a high-resolution image sensor and image correction software that is integrated into the camera. Using an ultra-wide angle fisheye lens, the camera captures a 180° hemispheric image of the room and projects it onto a high-resolution image sensor.
/��� 156 Less Cameras Thanks To Panoramic Views The perspective of the hemispheric image can also be transformed into an ultra-wide angle panoramic view spanning 180° if the camera is mounted on a wall, providing a wall-to-wall view of the room without any blind spots. It offers a substantially better view of the scene, compared to other cameras, it also results in the need for fewer cameras overall. When ceiling mounted, one camera can also capture an entire room by two opposite panoramic views.

/��� 156 One Camera, More Views The surround function of the Q24M (ceiling mounted) immediately replaces four conventional cameras and shows four different directions simultaneously in quad view on a monitor. Virtual PTZ is available for each of the four views. Together with the 180° panorama the Q24M can deliver two more views simultaneously, making it possible to see the overview and to focus on two scenes at the same time (Display Mode “Panorama Focus“).
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution Superior Storage Solution The Market Demands Better Image Quality When it comes to future-proof video surveillance systems, it is not a matter of analog or digital but whether it is high-resolution or not. It is important to note that HiRes video only with decentralized network camera technology can be implemented at much lower cost than any other type of video surveillance system.
/��� 156 Flash memory is a sophisticated form of semiconductor memory without mechanical moving parts and represents the storage medium of the future thanks to its reliability, ease of use and low cost.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: Added Security Value Added SECURITY VALUE Q24M Panorama: one camera - three simultaneous views high-resolution 180° Panorama Robust, Low-Maintenance Technology The real added value of MOBOTIX products is reflected in characteristics such as enhanced functionality, long life and robustness. MOBOTIX cameras basically have no moving parts. This makes the cameras very resistant to wear and tear, and reduces both maintenance costs and power consumption.
17/��� 156 Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and record lip-synchronous sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a situation and easing clarification. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional communication via a loudspeaker/microphone. No Problems With Backlight MOBOTIX cameras are not affected adversely by sunlight such as direct sunlight.

/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Q24M Overview Q24M with in-ceiling mount Innovative Hemispherical Technology For The Perfect Room Overview The MOBOTIX Q24M Hemispheric camera is an elegant, ultra-compact and weather proof IP network dome camera with a special hemispheric lens (fisheye). When mounted on the ceiling, the camera is capable of providing full 360° allround view or a 180° panorama when mounted on a wall.
/��� 156 Q24M Overview Panorama Focus – One Camera, Three Views (Wall-Mounted) Maximum room overview while simultaneously viewing detail in a single image: the Q24M is capable of providing two more views at the same time with the 180° panorama, allowing you to focus on two scenes in parallel ("Panorama Focus" display mode).
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Full Image And Normal View With innovative MOBOTIX Hemispheric Technology, an entire room can be ideally monitored. For instance, one single, particularly elegant and discreet, Q24M replaces the time-consuming and expensive installation of several standard cameras.
/��� 156 Q24M Overview Surround View (Quad View), Based On The Correct Full Image The Q24 “Surround” display mode replaces (when ceiling mounted) four cameras, and shows four directions simultaneously on the monitor in a quad view. The preset North position can be moved to any direction in the image; the camera generates the other three directions (East, South, West) automatically and stores them as separate views.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required The Q24M can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature in the integrated Q24M camera software. The image from the hemispheric camera can be enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled PTZ panel, and you can "move" the view to any section of the image. This provides the features of a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages of maintenance and wear.
/��� 156 Q24M Overview Simultaneous Corrected Live Image And Full Image Recording All conventional, motorized PTZ cameras only store the image that is currently viewed as the live image (live image recording). 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. For this reason, MOBOTIX has added the new full image recording feature to the Q24M.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Maximum Ease Of Use The camera software is responsible for image correction, reducing load on the user PC The full image generated by the hemispherical lens (fisheye) can be difficult to evaluate. MOBOTIX solves this problem with image distortion correction in the camera software that displays perfectly corrected live images.
Q24M Overview 27/��� 156 Internal DVR The Q24M SECURE model features direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards, which makes the camera fully independent of any external storage media, even for longer periods of time. The camera internally saves high-resolution video and audio, without requiring an external storage device or PC or overloading the network whatsoever. Old recordings may be overwritten automatically or deleted automatically after a specified period of time.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION The integrated DVR functionality with long-term storage on a MicroSD card also makes the camera an ideal solution for mobile applications since it only requires a power supply via the network cable (standard PoE) for full event-driven recording with video and audio, thus delivering a complete standalone product. Application examples in this context are installations in public transportation such as busses, trains, aboard ships, airplanes, etc.
Q24M: Next Generation Hemispheric Technology 1.2 Q24M: Next Generation Hemispheric Technology The Q24M Hemispheric camera is the more powerful and optimized successor to the Q22M and is delivered with a recording capacity of 4 GB integrated as standard. The Q24M has a new microprocessor and a modified system platform. The result is more than twice the processing power, which enables smooth video frames rates, even in the high-resolution 180° panoramic view.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION 1.3 General MOBOTIX Camera Functions Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, the Q24M models include a range of (software) functions, such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and video IP telephony, to name but a few. Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers, buying and installing additional software on the computer is unnecessary.
/��� 156 General MOBOTIX Camera Functions mobile or via Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from the camera. Internet Telephony (SIP) And Video SIP Video SIP allows establishing audio/video connections to the camera using Windows Messenger or similar applications (e.g. CounterPath X-Lite/ Eyebeam). This feature also allows the camera to be remote controlled using the phone keys, the camera itself can place phone calls in case of alarms.

In addition, MxControlCenter can process incoming alarms with sound from the cameras and allows comfortable search and evaluation of alarm video clips (including audio).
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION All settings selected in MxEasy (e.g. virtual camera position, zoom, brightness, volume, microphone sensitivity, image storage, signal outputs) are usable immediately and are stored instantly in the configuration of the corresponding camera. The calendar function integrated in the Alarm Planner provides access to innovative features for scheduled settings of one or more cameras.
General MOBOTIX Camera Functions • Time Tables with handling of customized holidays and vacations. The time tables are used to control the camera's arming, image recording messaging, logos, the obscure image function as well as other features. • Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, with the master camera controlling the arming status of the slave cameras. This allows arming, for example, of all slave cameras using a key switch connected to the master camera.

/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION 2 INSTALLATION The Q24M is primarily designed for installation on walls or ceilings. The supplied L11 180° lens captures the entire room, practically from wall to wall and from floor to the ceiling. See sections 2.4 and above. for the different installation options; drilling templates can be found at the end of the manual. 2.1 Preparing The Installation Before mounting the MOBOTIX Q24M, the following questions should be answered: 1.
/��� 156 Preparing The Installation 2.1.1 Wall-Mounted To make optimal use of the high-resolution 180° panorama functionality of the Q24M, the camera must be mounted on an internal or external wall. The entire hemisphere of the room directly in front of the camera is then effectively monitored, from the wall on the left of the camera to the wall on the right.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION Selecting An Appropriate Camera Position The Q24M is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview, and less suitable for more exact details. For active operation, the camera should be mounted at a (out of direct reach) height ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 m. People, for example, may be identified very well at distances of up to 1.5 m, and with sufficient detail at up to 3 m. Objects can be recognized even at distances of 5 m and more from the camera.
/��� 156 Preparing The Installation Wall Installation With The 10° On-Wall Set For Image Optimization An on-wall set, available as an accessory in 0° and 10° inclinations, may also be used for installation. While the 0° set primarily offers easier installation and more storage space for cables and add-on modules (WLAN, connectors, etc.), the 10° set may also increase the image quality in certain cases.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION 2.1.2 Ceiling-Mounted Discreet ceiling installation using the In-Ceiling Set Thanks to its hemispherical lens, a single Q24M can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners (360° Panorama View). The camera's should ideally be positioned on the ceiling in the center of the room. Due to its inherent physical and optical properties, the precision of the lens decreases as the distance from the lens grows.
Preparing The Installation 45/��� 156 Non-Square Rooms When viewing a 360° (full) image in the browser, you will notice that the top and bottom of the image is not fully visible, i.e. some image information has been clipped. This is not a fault of the camera, but intended behavior that aims at achieving the best possible utilization of the image sensor by the camera software.
/��� 156 The camera should not be directly mounted to metal surfaces (condensation may damage the camera): in such cases, MOBOTIX recommends using the On-Wall Set or Wall Mount Wall Mount (MX-OPT-WH) On-Wall Set (MX-OPT-AP) Q24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION Lowered Mounting Or Mounting on Extensions When mounting the camera in rooms with a high ceiling, or outdoors, it is sometimes advisable to mount the camera in a lower position.
Preparing The Installation 47/��� 156 2.1.3 Mounting Options On-Wall Installation (MX-OPT-AP) The On-Wall Set can reliably protect external cables if the cables cannot be fed in the center below the camera housing. The On-Wall mount also provides ample space for extra modules. On-Wall Set (IP65, for outdoor applications) On-Wall Installation With 10° Inclination (MX-OPT-AP-10DEG) This On-Wall Set is identical to the regular On-Wall Set, except that the mounted camera is tilted by 10 degrees.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION 2.1.4 Network Connection And Power Supply, UPS Power over Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af) The Q24M supports the Power over Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af (PoE) All Q24M models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, it is worth investing in a PoE capable supply device available on the market.
Preparing The Installation 49/��� 156 Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) In order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails, you should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices also provide full protection against electrical surges and voltage fluctuations and thus enhance the reliability of the system as a whole. When using a more powerful 19" rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network components (e.g.
/��� 156 Q24M Camera Manual: INSTALLATION 2.1.6 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning And Surge Protection When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention and protection against lightning.: MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by a range of measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur.
