Installing on a Pole (With Accessories)

Installation on round poles is frequently used for cameras that are intended for mobile

outdoor use (for example, surveillance of construction sites). For this purpose, MOBOTIX

recommends using the pole mount, which is available for the M15 as an accessory and

is almost indestructible (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS). This pole mount is made from rust-

proof stainless steel with a white coating and is used in combination with the pre-installed

VarioFlex mount supplied as standard with the wall mount.

Poles with a diameter between 60and 180mm can be used. It is particularly advisable

to use cavity (metal) poles, in which the network cable is not visible and can be protected

from attacks. For more detailed information on the installation process, see

Section 2.2,

«First Installation Steps»

. The drilling templates are at the end of the manual.

2.1.2 Installing the Camera with Hemispheric Sensor Modules

The camera must be correctly positioned on the wall or ceiling in order to be able to use the

high-resolution hemispheric image display options of the M15 with L10-L12 sensor module(s).

The entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then eectively monitored.

High-Resolution Panorama Images

The M15 with L10-L12 sensor module(s) is primarily suited to providing an excellent over

view in the form of a high-resolution panorama image, and less suitable for more exact

details. For active operation, the camera should be installed at an (out of direct reach)

height ranging from 2.5m to 3.5m. People, for example, may be identiﬁed very well at

distances of up to 1.5m and with sucient detail at up to 3m. Objects can be detected

even at distances of 5m and more from the camera. During installation, ensure that the

camera is focused on the most important areas of the room as directly as possible in order

to optimize image quality and provide the desired level of detail recognition. This applies

above all to wall and ceiling installations that must be carried out at greater heights for

technical or other reasons (over doors, windows, etc.). The lens capabilities can be only

fully utilized by tilting the camera appropriately.
