/124 D15D Camera Manual: Product Overview 1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1.1 D15D-DualDome 1.1.1 General Product Characteristics HiRes DualDome Camera with Two Independent Image Sensors and Lenses With its compact and elegant dome-shaped housing, the MOBOTIX DualDome camera system has become an indispensable feature of the now global market of high-resolution network security cameras.
D15D-DualDome 5-Megapixel Image Sensor Technology The D15D features an increased level of performance compared to the previous D14D model. The latest 5-megapixel image sensor technology used in the camera has improved the frame rate as well as the image quality for up to 3.1 megapixel resolution and brings a new level of detail to your zoomed images (+26%).
/124 D15D Camera Manual: Product Overview Ambient temperatures may vary between –30 to +60°C/–22 to 140°F, making it the ideal camera for the most demanding weather situations. From stations in Antarctica to production monitoring at a steel smelting plant, MOBOTIX cameras offer unmatched flexibility and versatility. The absence of mechanically moving parts, heating and ventilation means that D15D cameras require less than five watts of power. This can be easily supplied via a standard PoE cable.
D15D-DualDome 13/124 D15D-Pano: High-Resolution Panoramic View The D15D-Pano is equipped with a panorama lens bridge with two permanently installed Super Wide-Angle lenses. Together, they provide a high-resolution panorama image that is up to six megapixels in size, which is corrected by means of the camera software. Using only one camera, it is possible, for example, to cover one side of a building and the adjacent areas (parking lots, lawns, etc.).
/124 D15D Camera Manual: Product Overview D15D with Vandalism Set (Accessory) In critical environments or particularly harsh outdoor conditions, a MOBOTIX camera with optional anti-vandalism features is often the best choice. Their steel housing resists even the hardest attacks, and the cameras will deliver a perfect picture of the attackers.
D15D-DualDome 1.1.2 Advantages and New Features The high-resolution D15D-DualDome camera is the even more powerful successor to the D14D and is the first MOBOTIX camera to feature five-megapixel image sensors. Due to technical reasons, the maximum size at which the images of a D15D sensor can be displayed is 3.1 megapixels (live or recorded). Despite this, the D15D outperforms the previous D14D model and other dome cameras on the market in many respects.
/124 D15D Camera Manual: Product Overview previous 1.3-megapixel sensor. The images also benefit from the improved detail magnification enabled by digitally zooming into the image created by the five-megapixel sensor. MxActivitySensor The D15D provides an activity-controlled image analysis sensor as standard for detecting the movements of people and objects in a defined surveillance area (full image or section).
D15D-DualDome 1.1.3 Decentralized Video System Usually, cameras only supply images while processing and recording take place later on a central PC using video management software. This centralized structure has too many limitations for high-resolution video systems since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing power is insufficient when using several high-resolution cameras.
/124 D15D Camera Manual: Product Overview The decentralized MOBOTIX video solutions are superior to traditional systems in all major aspects.
D15D-DualDome 1.1.4 Green IP Video The modern, network-based video security technology offers numerous advantages to use energy efficiently.
