1 INTRODUCTION
The M12 camera range represents the next model of the se-
cond generation of MOBOTIX network cameras. Now more po-
werful than ever, the new models are capable of creating high-re-
solution live video streams with high frame rates. When showing VGA
video (640x480), the camera can deliver up to 30 fps. Even Megapixel video
(1280x960) will still generate up to 10 fps. The camera transmits realtime sound
from the microphone, even in the browser.
Similar to previous MOBOTIX cameras, M12 cameras are available as SECURE, IT,
WEB and BASIC models with differing software features. The WEB and BASIC mo-
dels do not have a microphone. The M12 can be fitted with three M14 high-perfor-
mance lenses; additional lenses will be available in the future.
Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, M12 models are more than "just a camera"; the
integrated software features (Secure/IT models) include a multitude of functions,
such as video motion detection, long-term recording, alarm messaging and vi-
deo IP telephony. In camparison to camera systems from other manufacturers,
buying and installing additional software on the computer is thus unnecessary.
