Preparing the Installation
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 M16 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 available on www.mobotix.com >

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 M16 with B016 sensor module(s).

High-ResolutionPanoramaImages
The M16 with B016 sensor module(s) is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview
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 rang-
ingfrom2.5mto3.5m.People,forexample,maybeidentiedverywellatdistancesofup
to1.5mandwithsuicient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.
