Mobotix prides itself on being the high resolution video company because the benefits of their megapixel IP cameras are:

The images produced are more revealing and provide stronger evidence.
Mobotix IP cameras record approximately 30 times more detail than 95% of all existing video systems worldwide.
High-detail resolution means fewer cameras and reduced amount of cabling, backup-power requirement and storage systems; Thus minimizing the overall system cost.
An entire room can be monitored with one 90° wide-angle lens camera positioned in a corner of a room.

Those are great features that can be advantageous to many surveillance situations. Plus, with their rough and tumble fiberglass-reinforced housing that allow an extreme operating temperature range of -30° C to +60° C (-22° F to +140° F), Mobotix …

Instead of relying on your PC to analyze and record video how about an IP camera with a capacity up to 32GB of internal storage to process the video so the PC is used only for viewing, thus freeing up bandwidth and processing power?

And how about instead of having to buy video software to manage the video and making you sure you have the proper amount of licenses, how about free software downloads directly from the manufacturer for an unlimited amount of users and cameras?

When considering a network based solution for your surveillance needs, many important questions need to be answered. One of which may be, “is this for me?” A considerable amount of time can be spent researching and planning for the implementation of IP cameras so you’ll want to know if it’s the right fit for your application.
