Q26 Camera Manual: Product Overview
1.1.4 Decentralized Video System
Usually, cameras only supply images, while processing and recording take place later on a
central PC using video management software. This centralized structure has too many lim-
itations for high-resolution video systems since it requires high network bandwidth and the
PC processing power is insufficient when using several high-resolution cameras. Due to the
large number of computers and servers required, traditional centralized systems are there-
fore becoming less suitable and cost effective.
As part of the decentralized MOBOTIX
concept, every camera features a
high-speed processor , and, if neces-
sary, digital
long-term flash memory
(MicroSD card) can be integrated to
provide several days of recording time.
The computer or video control center
is required only to view and control the
cameras, not to evaluate and record
video. This means that you do not have
to rely on expensive, overloaded video management software as most of the important
functions that require a large amount of processing power are integrated into the MOBOTIX
cameras themselves.
Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras such as the Q26 to automatically detect when
an event has occurred. If necessary, the cameras will respond immediately with an alarm
sound and will establish a direct video and sound connection to a control room.
The Q26 is equipped with a shock detector as standard. For example, if the camera receives
a blow to the housing, it can simultaneously take a video of the offender, trigger a sound
alarm and notify the security company by a SIP call. Due to the build quality and absence
of moving parts, MOBOTIX cameras are extremely tough. This typically allows them to stay
fully operational especially when they are subject to strong vibrations.
All MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof and are not adversely affected by the glare from
direct sunlight. They deliver meaningful, detailed images at all times as the camera soft-
ware supports easy programming of independent exposure windows, making them ideal
for rooms with large glass fronts.
In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX Q26 cameras can also record lip-synchronous audio .
The cameras therefore play an important role in analyzing and clarifying a situation. Thanks
to an integrated speaker and microphone, each individual camera can also be used for
bidirectional communication (two-way video communication), so you can easily use the
MOBOTIX MxBell with your iPhone or iPad on the road.
