S14 Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution
SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION
MOBOTIX Storage Concept Without Bottlenecks
These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or DVR
using video management software. Video and audio streams from all installed cameras
are directed to this central device. This can quickly cause data bottlenecks for high-reso-
lution cameras, in particular. The storage system is also highly inecient, because the
high-resolution video must be transferred directly to the recording device without additional
processing and with a high frame rate due to the lack of processing power of the PC.
With the MOBOTIX system, on the other hand, the necessary adjustments to the image
format and frame rate for the application concerned (for example, two frames per second
are sucient for recordings in a gas station) are made inside the camera itself, reducing
the load on both the network and the recording device (PC, server). MOBOTIX cameras
can minimize the recording independent of the live video and the sound channel is also
retained, even at two frames per second.
No Storage Limit
The decentralized MOBOTIX concept enables the user to save around ten times more
cameras than usual on a single recording device because the camera manages the
recording itself (on a PC, server, NAS), thus reducing the load on the device. For this reason,
practically speaking, there is no memory limit for the entire system because theoretically,
each camera is able to manage its own terabyte-sized recording device via the network.
Another benefit of this concept is the use of aordable, reliable NAS drives that do not
require any special software.
