User manual

While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ
features for quite a while, these features are now avail-
able directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that
you can continuously zoom into or out of the live image
using either the mouse wheel or a joystick. When storing
images or video sequences, you can choose to store
either the visible image area of the live image or the
full sensor image. The second option would also allow
examining the parts of an image or video after the event
that had not been in the visible image section of the live
image.
Another problem known from photography are the dis-
tortions from wide-angle lenses. Straight lines at the
image borders are bent inwards towards the corners.
The integrated distortion correction features of the cam-
era (and of MxControlCenter) allow correcting the bent
lines of various lenses using software algorithms.
The current MOBOTIX cameras support direct storage on the
integrated Flash storage media, internal SD cards and
external USB media. The MOBOTIX Secure R versions are a
highlight in this respect as they are delivered with an inte-
grated Flash storage device (e.g. R8 with 8GB).
180° Panorama View with the MOBOTIX D12D-180°
The MOBOTIX D12D-180° is equipped with two 90°
super-wide-angle lenses mounted on a single lens
holder and delivers 180° panorama images. Using only
one camera, you can cover one side of a building and
the adjacent areas (parking lots, lawns, etc.).
