How To Implement Mobotix IP Cameras Into Your Surveillance Systems

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 IP cameras have been installed in all environments from the desert to tropical jungles to the arctic. 

These cameras can do and withstand a lot but if you’re still wondering how this applies to you, continue reading and I’ll highlight some more practical applications.

Used Everywhere 

With high performance and easy scalability, Mobotix IP cameras are used in large facilities to small business to private homes offering a host of features: 

• Sun and backlight compensation: CMOS-sensor without autoiris, digital contrast enhancement and configurable exposure measurement zones guarantee optimal exposure control.
• Dual camera technology: 2-in-1 IP cameras. Two possible camera views with picture-in-picture technology or 180°panoramic view.
• Long-term, high-performance Terabyte recording included: Event detection and ring buffer recording by the camera itself allow recording of 40 smooth video streams on a single PC (1200 VGA images/s).
• Simultaneous recording, event search and live viewing: Live video for multiple users, recording and event search simultaneously possible in seconds from anywhere in the world via network.
• Very low network load: Efficient MxPEG video codec, motion detection based recording and video buffering inside camera guarantee a very low network load.
• Bridging of recording during network failures: Internal camera ring buffer bridges network failures and bandwidth fluctuations of wireless links (WLAN/UMTS) for several minutes.
• Day & night maintenance free: Unique Day/Night camera technology without moving parts guarantees extreme light sensitivity and ensures long-term reliability.
• Audio and SIP telephony: Lip-synchronized audio (live & recording); each camera is a video IP telephone based on SIP standard with automatic alarm call and remote control.
• MxControlCenter included: Dual screen technology with building plans, free camera positioning, event search, image processing, lens distortion correction and PTZ support. 

Banking

• Bank Security
• Bank Operations Monitoring
• ATM Security 

With exceptional image quality, digital Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ), full panoramic coverage with a hemispheric lens, and vandal resistant cameras, Mobotix IP cameras offer a complete, reliable, and highly effective bank security solution. 

Security Systems 

• Hotel security
• Airports, port and harbor
• Museums, theatres, theme parks
• Gas station
• Campus security, vandal resistant IP cameras 

These cameras are an inexpensive alternative to a security service: they can be installed at all the “critical” points around the premises, operated around the clock and even configured to trigger an event-based alarm. With the help of Mobotix IP cameras, for example, a single gate keeper can also have a clear view over all building entrances and use the integrated intercom to talk to visitors or to open gates/barriers. 

Industry 

• Parcel tracking
• Factory tracking
• Production surveillance
• Warehouse management
• Automated logistics
• Repair shop communication 

Whether they are used to monitor jammed conveyor belts, to watch over plant rooms, to remotely monitor production machinery or to record activities at long-term test facilities – Mobotix IP cameras can facilitate industrial processes by assuming diagnosis and monitoring tasks. In the event of malfunctions, the cameras automatically issue alarms and, thanks to their high-resolution images, enable reliable remote diagnoses. Industrial applications are typically very demanding, however, the Mobotix outdoor IP camera models are weatherproof from -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to + 140°F) and certified according to the IP65 industrial standard. 

Public Sector 

• Hospital management
• Public transportation
• Railway/Subway station
• Traffic monitoring 

The need to reduce costs is now a top priority in most towns and cities, and Mobotix IP cameras offer an ideal opportunity to ease the financial burden. They can be used, for example, to monitor water levels around the clock in sewage treatment plants eliminating expensive staff making control patrols. In train traffic, the IP cameras help staff to monitor all tracks at once and to deliver perfectly timed boarding announcements to the passengers waiting on the platforms. 

Webcam 

• Weather Documentation
• Internet Sales 

If cities and towns want to use their websites to attract tourists to come and visit, webcam applications can be just what they need.  You can find Mobotix outdoor IP cameras even in places where few tourists dare to go – observing weather conditions on the mountain summits or in the perpetual ice of Antarctica. 

What should you do when you want to make sure that everything is fine at your summer cottage? How can you protect your city home against break-ins?  With Mobotix you can now install a professional security system to guard your property. Except for the camera, the only other thing you need is a regular PC with Internet access. 

Set the system up, connect it accordingly and sleep in peace. And even when you’re not at home, you can check on things by viewing the camera’s images on the Internet. The camera can issue an alarm to you by e-mail, text messaging or telephone call.
