1.1.3 Advantages and New Features
The high-resolution Q25M Hemispheric is a universally deployable, highly innovative and
easily concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the Q24M, the Q25M features
a five-megapixel image sensor and is clearly superior to its predecessor in terms of image
quality and frame rate.
Smooth HiRes Video Streams
The modified hardware of the Q25M transmits the camera‘s video streams even more
smoothly than the high-performance Q24M, 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 1280x960) 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 Q25M 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
3.1-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.
More Details When Zooming
The maximum zoom factor of the Q25M is 1.26 times higher than that of the Q24M 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 Q25M 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 angles of view of the new five-megapixel sensors
as compared to the Q25M.
