Mounting the Camera with Pole Mount
Especially when using the camera in mobile outdoor scenarios (e.g., for surveillance of
construction sites), the camera is often installed on round poles. In such cases, MOBOTIX
recommends using the virtually indestructible pole mount (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS) that
is available as accessory for the M25. This pole mount is made from white, powder-coated
stainless steel and is used in combination with the pre-installed VarioFlex wall mount of
the camera.
You can attach the mount to poles with diameters between 60 mm and 180 mm/2.4 in
to 7.1 in. Best results are obtained when using high metal poles, since they allow running
the network cabling inside, well-protected from tampering. For more detailed information
on the installation process, see
Section 2.2, «Mounting the Camera with Wall Mount» and
the following sections, while the drilling templates are included at the end of the manual.
2.1.2 Mounting with Hemispheric Lens B016
The camera must be correctly positioned at the wall or ceiling in order to be able to use
the high-resolution hemispheric image display option of the M25 with hemispherical B016
lens. The entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then effectively monitored.
High-Resolution Panorama Images
The M25 with B016 lens is primarily suited to providing an excellent
overview in the form
of a high-resolution panorama image,
and less suitable for more exact details
.
For active
operation, the camera should be mounted at an (out of direct reach)
height ranging from
2.50 m to 3.50 m
. Facial recognition up to
1.50 m (5 ft)
distance to the object is very good
and up to
3 m (9.8 ft)
is still sufficient
.
Objects can be recognized even at distances of
5 m
and more from the camera
. During installation, ensure that the camera is focused on
the most important areas of the room as directly as possible, in order to optimize image
quality and to provide the desired level of detail recognition. This applies above all to wall
and ceiling installations that must be carried out at greater heights for technical or other
reasons (over doors, windows, etc.). Only by tilting the camera appropriately can the lens
capabilities be fully utilized.
