The HiRes Video Company
The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept
Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, a high-speed computer
and if necessary,digital long-term memory (MicroSD Card) is built into every camera,
providing several days of recording time. The PC and the video control center now
serve only for viewing and controlling the cameras (PTZ), not for analysis or recording.
This makes it unnecessary to purchase expensive video management software, as
the most important and computer-intensive functions are already integrated in the
MOBOTIX cameras.
SD Card Memory Reduces Recording Costs
Events can be recorded internally (up to 64GB) or externally to any PC, server or cost-
ecient NAS drive on the network. Thanks to the high internal storage capacity and
the option of recording only the sequences in which an event occurs, external storage
devices such as hard drives are rarely required. This saves on recording devices and
network infrastructure and reduces the maintenance cost of mechanical components
in hard drives and fans. Internal storage is digital and does not use mechanical
components, which makes it maintenance-free.
Even when external recording is preferable due to a vulnerable camera location, internal
storage is used to buer the video stream in case of bandwidth fluctuations or network
failures. In any case, the decentralized approach serves to slim down the recording
process. As a result, 10 times as many cameras can be simultaneously recorded on
a PC or server. Naturally, this is not just stamp-size video or stationary images but
high-resolution HDTV video and audio.

Custom-Tailored Control Room Software
In contrast to other software solutions, MxControlCenter supports the decentralized recording
technology of the MOBOTIX cameras. It not only enhances performance, it also bridges
network failures without any gaps in the recording stream.
