1.1 MOBOTIX D12 Concept
High-resolution live video with up to 30 frames/s
The MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video display in VGA format (640x480
pixels) with synchronous live audio, yet it keeps the network load to a minimum.
Live video display now matches the performance of analog video systems. When
recording, MOBOTIX systems easily outperform analog systems, since MOBOTIX
cameras store the high live image resolution and frame rate without compromising
image quality. MOBOTIX technology thus allows simultaneously recording the
video from 30 cameras in continuous recording mode on one standard PC at
30 frames per second each, including the audio channel of the cameras.
Low bandwidth requirements
MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with
audio at extremely low network loads (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera
itself detects movements in the image (and not the computer), video is only trans-
mitted if movements occur, and when the video and audio data are being stored.
Voice over IP and ISDN
Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronized audio and two-way communica-
tion between the camera and your computer. Room surveillance with audio is pos-
sible using Internet Explorer or MxControlCenter. Alarm notification on your mobile
via Internet (SIP) or ISDN telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice mes-
sages directly from the camera (ISDN requires M12 or D12 model).
IP telephony and video SIP
All telephone features can be used
via Internet telephony thanks to the
integrated SIP client. The SIP client
allows remote-controlling the camera
using the touchtone keys and also
makes the alarm calls of the camera.
Video telephony allows establishing
SIP audio/video connections to the
camera using Windows Messenger
or similar applications (e.g. Counter-
Path X-Lite/Eyebeam).
Long-term storage on file servers included
MOBOTIX cameras have an integrated long-term storage system for Linux, Win-
dows and Mac OS X computers. Every camera manages its own ring buffer stor-
age on the shared folder. Thanks to this decentralized approach, 30 live cameras
can store images on one computer with 30 frames per second each, including
audio (also depends on the operating system).
