/146 M24M Camera Manual: The MOBOTIX Concept THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT HiRes Video Innovations The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made highresolution video systems cost-efficient. Whether in embassies, airports, railway stations, ports, gas stations, hotels, or on highways - over one hundred thousand MOBOTIX video systems have been in operation on every continent for years.
/146 The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept a high-speed computer and, if requested, digital memory (MicroSD/SD card) is built into every camera for longterm recording. The PC now serves purely for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record in response to an event, even without the PC being switched on, and digitally store the videos with sound.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: MOBOTIX Hemispheric Technology MOBOTIX HEMISPHERIC TECHNOLOGY (M24M-SEC-D11) Perfect Room Overview An entire room can be effectively monitored with innovative MOBOTIX Hemispheric Technology. For instance, one single hemispheric camera replaces the time-consuming and expensive installation of several standard cameras. The first of its kind in the world, this camera is evidence of the MOBOTIX commitment to innovation as the global leader in megapixel video security systems.
/146 One Camera, More Views The surround function of the M24M (ceiling mounted) immediately replaces four conventional cameras and shows four different directions simultaneously in quad view on a monitor. Virtual PTZ is available for each of the four views. Together with the 180° panorama the M24M can deliver two more views simultaneously, making it possible to see the overview and to focus on two scenes at the same time (Display Mode “Panorama Focus“).
/146 M24M Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION The Market Demands Better Image Quality When it comes to future-proof video surveillance systems, it is not a matter of analog or digital but whether it is high-resolution or not. It is important to note that only HiRes video with decentralized network camera technology can be implemented at a much lower cost than any other type of video surveillance system.
/146 Flash memory is a sophisticated form of semiconductor memory without mechanical moving parts and represents the storage medium of the future thanks to its reliability, ease of use and low cost.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: Added Security Value ADDED SECURITY VALUE Robust, Low-Maintenance Technology The real added value of MOBOTIX products is reflected in characteristics such as enhanced functionality, long life and robustness. In general, MOBOTIX cameras have no moving parts. This makes the cameras very resistant to wear and tear, and reduces both maintenance costs and power consumption.
15/146 Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and record lip-synchronous sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a situation and easing clarification. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional communication via a loudspeaker/microphone. No Problems With Backlighting MOBOTIX cameras are not adversely affected by the glare from direct sunlight.

/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 M24M Overview The World's First HemisphericReady Allround Camera With the M24M series, MOBOTIX offers extremely compact, versatile and cost-effective allround cameras with an integrated video sensor, lip-synchronous audio transmission and long-term internal storage on a MicroSD card (4 GB card as standard).
M24M Overview 19/146 Robust And Practically Maintenance Free Thanks to their low power consumption of 3 watts and the total absence of mechanical moving parts, M24M cameras feature the highest operating temperature range (-30°C to +60°C, or -22°F to 140°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling according to the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af. M24M IT and Secure models are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP66).
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION The Right Lens For Every Application No MOBOTIX camera has ever had so many lens options! All five MOBOTIX standard lenses, from the 15° Tele right through to the 90° Super Wide Angle, are offered with the M24M. MOBOTIX original 90° Super Wide Angle image Furthermore, the M24M is the first HemisphericReady camera from the M series and can also be equipped with the hemispheric L11 lens (image angle of 180°).
M24M Overview You can change all M24M lenses on site whenever necessary (except the hemispheric L11 lens). Each lens is secured by a lock ring. The ordered lens is factory-aligned and quality-tested in the camera, which makes on-site camera focusing unnecessary in most cases. Each M24M is available for delivery with a lens of your choosing or no lens at all. The image area captured by the camera varies depending on the selected lens (see Section 1.5).
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – Panning, Tilting, And Zooming With No Motor The M24M can also zoom in on detail as well. This vPTZ function (virtual Pan, Tilt, Zoom) is a standard feature in the integrated M24M camera software. The image from the hemispheric camera can be enlarged using, for example, the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled PTZ panel and you can "move" the view to any section of the image.
/146 M24M Overview Simultaneous Zoomed Live Image And Full Image Recording All conventional, motorized PTZ cameras only store the image that is currently viewed as the live image (live image recording). This has one serious disadvantage as the recording can only show what has happened in the "visible" portion of the image; the rest is lost and cannot be examined later on. For this reason, MOBOTIX has added the new full image recording feature to the M24M.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Internal DVR The M24M features direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards, which makes the camera fully independent of any external storage media, even for longer periods of time. The camera internally stores high-resolution video, without requiring an external recording device or PC and therefore without overloading the network whatsoever. Old recordings may be overwritten automatically or automatically deleted after a specified period of time.

/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION 1.2 M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens Equipped with the 180° L11 lens, an entire room can be ideally monitored using just one M24M, which replaces the time-consuming and expensive installation of several standard cameras.
M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens 27/146 The factory default setting of an M24M with an L11 lens is a high-resolution 180° panorama image, in which parts of the protective cover are still visible in the upper right and left corners of the image.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION L11 Lens: Panorama Focus – One Camera, Three Views Maximum room overview while simultaneously viewing detail in a single image: the M24M is capable of providing two more views simultaneously with the 180° panorama, allowing you to focus on two scenes in parallel ("Panorama Focus" display mode).
/146 M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens L11 Lens: Surround View (Quad View) The M24M's "Surround" display mode replaces four cameras all at once and simultaneously delivers four different directions "at a glance." If the camera is installed in the ceiling and is looking straight down, all four cardinal directions can be displayed, for example.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION L11 Lens: Full Image And Normal View In addition to Panorama, Double Panorama, Panorama Focus and Surround views, the M24M image may be displayed on a monitor as the original fisheye version ("Full Image" display mode) or as the camera-corrected image section ("Normal" display mode). Switching to one of the other display modes described is possible at any time within seconds.
/146 M24M With Hemispheric Special L11 Lens L11 Lens: Factory Settings Of The Standard Views For A Wall Installation In order to fully exploit the potential of the M24M in the desired view, it may be necessary to adjust the factory settings using the integrated vPTZ function. We have summarized the factory default settings of a wall-mounted M24M with an L11 lens (with a downward tilt of approx. 15°, 2.7 m high) here in order to give you a good idea of what to expect once the camera has been installed.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION 1.3 M24M: HiRes Allround Camera With Widest Range Of Lenses The high-resolution Allround M24M camera is the more powerful successor to the M22M and comes with a new microprocessor and a modified system platform. The result is more than twice the processing power, which enables smooth video frame rates, even in the high-resolution panorama display combined with the now available hemispheric L11 lens. Double The Frame Rates Of The M22M Even 3.

Unlike in camera systems from other manufacturers, it is not necessary to buy and install additional software on the computer.
/146 General MOBOTIX Camera Functions Voice Over IP Moreover, MxPEG provides for lip-synchronous live audio and two-way communication between the camera and a computer. Room surveillance is possible using a browser (Internet Explorer), MxControlCenter, or MxEasy. Customized alarm notification on your mobile phone or via Internet telephony is just as easy as event-controlled voice messages directly from the camera.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION Event And Time-Controlled Just like triggering event-controlled recording upon detecting movements in the image, the camera can also record when the volume detected by the microphone exceeds a certain trigger value. Using scheduled daily recording, time tasks can start or stop video recording, upload images to a website, or send e-mails with video/audio clips. Vacation times and holidays can be programmed.
General MOBOTIX Camera Functions 37/146 MxControlCenter – Professional Video Management Free Of Charge Instead of using a web browser, you can also download the free-of-charge MxControlCenter from the MOBOTIX website (www.mobotix.com), which allows you to quickly display live images with audio transmission from high-resolution MOBOTIX cameras. In addition, MxControlCenter can process incoming alarms with lip-synchronous sound and allows comfortable search and evaluation of alarm video clips.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION All settings selected in MxEasy (for example, virtual camera position, zoom, brightness, volume, microphone sensitivity, image storage, signal outputs) are usable immediately and are stored instantly in the configuration of the corresponding camera. The calendar function integrated in the Alarm Planner provides access to innovative features for scheduled settings of one or more cameras.
General MOBOTIX Camera Functions • Time Tables with handling of customized holidays and vacations. The time tables are used to control the camera's arming, image recording messaging, logos, the obscure image function as well as other features. • Remote signaling for master/slave cameras, with the master camera controlling the arming status of the slave cameras. This allows, for example, all slave cameras to be armed using a key switch connected to the master camera.
/146 M24M Camera Manual: INTRODUCTION 1.5 Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features MOBOTIX offers the M24M with lenses in three different classes of focal length. Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, none of these lenses requires a mechanical auto iris, thus making the camera extremely robust and maintenance-free.
