M16 Camera Manual
FOREWORD
Dear MOBOTIX customer,
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the M16, the powerful successor
to the original MOBOTIX M1/M10/M12/M15, proven over one hundred thousand
times. This weatherproof (IP66), versatile, all-round solution “Made in Germany”
represents an important milestone in the successful history of MOBOTIX products.
Asdecentralizedcompletevideosystems,MOBOTIXcamerashavemuchmoretooer
than conventional network cameras. The M16 features integrated environment sensors
(PIR, outside temperature, motion sensor), speaker and microphone for two-way video
communication based on the SIP standard, long-term memory, free video management
sowareandapreassembledVarioFlexwall/ceilingmount,inadditiontotwoHiResimage
sensors. The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces allow for direct connection of
MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices such as UMTS modules, additional memory, etc.
With the M16, one or two separate and interchangeable MOBOTIX sensor modules (lens
plus sensor board and microphone) are installed in the camera base module M16 Body. The
sensor modules can be purchased from tele lens to Hemispheric, each available as day or
night models. In addition, the LPF (“Long Pass Filter”) variants of the night models have
been designed for special requirements (such as number plate recognition). If the M16 is
conguredwithaDayandaNightsensormodule,thecamerawillautomaticallyswitchto
the appropriate image sensor depending on the illumination.
The introduction of the newest sensor technology with increased light sensitivity in combi-
nation with the new HD Premium lenses (aperture f/1.8) not only generates more brilliant
images with up to 3072x2048, it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight
conditions.
The new model variant
M16-Thermal supplements the proven MOBOTIX technology by a
high-end thermal imaging sensor, which can reliably detect moving objects even in total
darkness. The M16-Thermal-TR ( TR = Thermal Radiometry ) can trigger alarms when detect-
ing temperatures in the image or in measurement windows that exceed or drop below the
speciedtemperature.
