1.4 General MOBOTIX Camera Functions
Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the M24M line has a variety of software functions: from motion
detection and long-term storage right through to alarm notification via video IP telephony.
Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers, it is not necessary to buy and install
additional software on the computer. It is possible to use a web browser, however, you
can also download the free MxControlCenter or MxEasy from the MOBOTIX website, which
allow quick displaying of multiple cameras on one monitor, alarm switching with audio
or an easy event search.
vPTZ: Virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom Features
While MxControlCenter has been providing virtual PTZ features for some time now, these
features are now available directly in the MOBOTIX camera. This means that you can
continuously zoom into or out of the live image using either the mouse wheel or a joystick.
When storing images or video sequences, you can choose to store either the visible image
area of the live image or the full sensor image (full image storage). This also allows you
to examine parts of an image or video that had not been visible in the live image section
on display at the time of the recording.
Automatic Image Correction (Only With L22 Or L11 Lenses)
Another problem familiar from the field of photography are the distortions that result from
using wide angle lenses. Straight lines near the image borders are curved. The integrated
distortion correction features of the camera (and of MxControlCenter) allow the curve of
various lenses to be corrected using software functions.
Live Video With Up To 30 fps, Including Audio
MOBOTIX cameras deliver smooth live video with lip-synchronous audio, yet they keep
network load to a minimum. Some analog systems may also be able to deliver this, but the
recording quality is so much higher with MOBOTIX since the cameras eciently store the
high, live image resolution and frame rate without compromising image quality. MOBOTIX
technology thus provides for continuous recording of simultaneous video from 30 cameras
at 30frames per second each, including audio, all on one standard PC.
Very Low Network Load
MOBOTIX's patent-pending streaming format MxPEG enables fast live video with audio
at extremely low network load (1 to 2Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects
movements in the image (and not the computer), video sequences are only transmitted
when they are being stored externally.
