M15 AllroundDual

A number of additional devices can be used. They are connected via a network switch

or directly to the camera housing via an MxBus or MiniUSB cable (for example, ExtIO,

MOBOTIX functional boxes, audio or USB-based storage devices). If the network switch

features an Internet connection, it can be used for encrypted access to the camera foot

age from anywhere in the world.

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – Panning, Tilting and Zooming with No Motor Required

The M15 also zooms in on detail. This vPTZ function (virtual Pan, Tilt, Zoom) is a standard

feature in the integrated camera software. The image can be enlarged using, for example,

the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled PTZ panel, and you can “move” the

view to any section of the image. This provides the features of a mechanical PTZ camera

without the disadvantages of maintenance and wear.

Simultaneous Zoomed Live Image and Full Image Recording

All standard motorized PTZ cameras only store the image sequence that is currently

viewed in the live image (live image recording). This has one serious disadvantage as

the recording can only show what has happened in the “visible” portion of the image.

The rest is lost and cannot be examined later on. MOBOTIX has hence added the new full

image recording feature to the M15. When you activate this feature, the camera will not

store the currently viewed image that reﬂects the pan/tilt position and the zoom setting

chosen by the user, but the full sensor image – without vPTZ settings. When examining

the recorded images at a later date, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow

you to zoom in on the visible image and use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner

of the recorded full image.

Internal DVR

The M15 features direct recording to the integrated MicroSD card, which makes the cam

era fully independent of any external storage media, even for longer periods of time. The

camera internally stores high-resolution video, without requiring an external recording

device or PC and therefore without creating any network load. Old recordings can be

overwritten automatically or automatically deleted after a speciﬁed period of time. When

using a 32GB SD card, for example, the camera can store more than a quarter million

event images in VGA format (640x480). If you would like to archive complete sequences

or extracts of sequences, you can export the required data to any PC or USB hard drive.

Low Power Consumption in Accordance with the PoE Standard (IEEE 802.3af)

A M15 uses no more power than its predecessor (typically 4.5watts), despite the new

sensor technology. Adjusting the PoE class via the camera software also enables the use

of PoE switches that cannot be operated on all ports with PoE class3 (up to max. 12.95V).

Model Variants

The dual camera base module

M15 Core

is available in the

M15D-SEC

model variant,

which can be equipped with one or two sensor modules. Each variant features an internal

long-term memory (a pre-formatted and pre-installed MicroSD card).
