1.2.1 Advantages and New Features

The high-resolution M25M Allround is a universally deployable, highly innovative and easily

concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the M24M, the M25M features a

ﬁve-megapixel image sensor. For technical reasons, the live or recorded images displayed

by a M25M sensor have a maximum size of QXGA. However, the M25M is clearly superior

to its predecessor in terms of image quality and frame rate.

Smooth HiRes Video Streams

The modiﬁed hardware of the M25M transmits the camera‘s video streams even more

smoothly than the high-performance M24M, even when high resolution is required. Since

image streams of 16 frames per second and higher are perceived as smooth video by

the human eye, the maximum frame rate is limited to 30 frames per second (when using

MEGA resolution of 1280x 960) in order to provide sucient camera processing power

for other tasks.

Conclusive Still Images

Thanks to the proprietary MxPEG video codec developed exclusively for MOBOTIX cameras,

the cameras oer the advantage that a recording can be paused at any given point and

still provide meaningful and useful snapshots due to the absence of distortion. This is

essential for security applications and allows individuals or license plates to be identiﬁed,

for example. In contrast, the H.264 standard, which was developed for feature movies

and is favored by some video security providers, cannot achieve this with the required

level of quality.

Good Color Images Even in Low Light

The more light-sensitive an image sensor is, the better the image quality, especially when

the ambient light level is low, such as at dusk and in heavy rainfall. The M25M oers the

best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided

by the ﬁve-megapixel color sensor that is four times higher than that of the previously used

three-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.

More Details When Zooming

The maximum zoom factor of the M25M is 1.26 times higher than that of the M24M due

to the use of ﬁve-megapixel technology. This means that the degree of detail provided

by the camera has improved by 26 percent. As a result, a M25M can now be installed

even further away than before from the objects and areas to be monitored. In addition,

this osets the slightly smaller horizontal image angles of the new ﬁve-megapixel sensors

as compared to the M25M.
