2.1 Preparing the Installation
Before installing the MOBOTIX M16, the following questions should be answered:
1. Where will the camera be installed?
2. What other additional installation options are available?
3. How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied?
4. How are the connections furnished from the building?
5. What cabling considerations are necessary?
The following sections in this chapter should answer all these questions. If anything is unclear
or you have more questions, please contact your MOBOTIX partner or MOBOTIX Support
directly. Contact information can be found at www.mobotix.com under Support.
2.1.1 Installation Options: Wall, Ceiling, Pole
Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M16isextremelyexible in terms of how and where it can be
installed.AnM16canbeusedforbothindoorandoutdoorapplications:inxedormobile
applications – constantly changing locations or in/on vehicles of any kind. The M16 cameras
havebeencertiedweatherproof according to IP66 IP66 and can work reliably in temperature
ranges from –40 to 60 °C/–40 to 140 °F (cold start min. temp. –30 °C/–22 °F) without heating or
fan. A practical weather and sun protective cover is integrated into the extremely resistant
housing, which is made of UV-resistant special-purpose plastic.
Thankstothecamera’suniqueVarioFlexmountingsystem(suppliedasstandard),theM16
camera can be installed quickly and easily on any wall, ceiling or even a round pole of up
to 18 cm in diameter (when combined with the stainless steel pole mount). The VarioFlex
mounting system allows a wide range in both the horizontal and vertical directions (rotating
and tilting) to enable precise adjustment to suit the area to be monitored. The mount also
tsdirectlyoverin-wallsockets(withouttheframe)andMOBOTIXinterfaceboxes to fully
conceal the cable, thus improving the security of the installation.
