M25M Camera Manual 

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a professional and modern 
HiRes network camera “Made in Germany”! The robust and versatile M25M 

is a cost-efficient and professional mono camera solution with interchange-
able lenses for indoor and outdoor applications (IP66). You can select from a 

wide range of lenses, from Hemispheric to Super Wide-Angle to Tele lenses 

(now up to 320 mm) and CSVario lens. Add to that the proven advantages 

that are inherent to the MOBOTIX concept, such as the integrated event, alarm and 

telephone features and the modern long-term storage directly in the camera with 
all of its benefits.

The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces of the camera allow attaching MOBOTIX 

interface boxes and standard devices, such as 3G/UMTS modems, external storage 

devices, etc. The integrated SD card flash storage is easily exchanged for larger storage 
requirements, providing for secure long-term storage.

The introduction of the newest image sensor technology with increased light sensitivity in 
combination with the new HD Premium lenses (f/1.8) provides brilliant images with image 
sizes of up to 2592x1944 pixels, thus delivering color images of higher quality under low-
light conditions. The LPF (“Long-Pass Filter”) night variants have been designed for special 
purposes, such as number plate recognition, for example. The M25M-IT generates HD 
images (1280x720 pixels).

You can download the 

MxEasy

 and 

MxControlCenter
