INTRODUCTION
The
D12
camera range represents the second generation of
MOBOTIX network cameras. Now more powerful than ever, the
new compact models are capable of creating high-resolution live
video streams with high image rates. When showing
VGA video
(640x480)
, the camera can deliver up to
30 fps
. Even
Megapixel
video (1280x960)
will generate up to
10 fps
. The camera transmits realtime sound
from the microphone, even in the browser.
Similar to other MOBOTIX cameras, these cameras are available as
SECURE
,
IT
,
WEB
and
BASIC
models with different software features; the Web and Basic
models do not have a microphone. The D12 can be fitted with any of the five high-
performance lenses; additional lenses will be available in the future. Apart from the
standard version, the MOBOTIX D12 is offered in two additional
versions
: the
D12D-
180°
offers a 180° panorama view and the
D12M-CS
is equipped with the
CS-
Mount lens
(24 - 54 mm) already used in the
M22M-CSVario
.
Like all other MOBOTIX cameras, D12 models are more than "just a camera"; the
integrated software features (Secure/IT models) include a multitude of functions,
such as
video motion detection
,
long-term re-
cording
,
alarm messaging
and
video IP te-
lephony
. In comparison to camera systems from
other manufacturers, buying and installing addi-
tional software on the computer is thus unneces-
sary. Instead of using a web browser, you can
also download the free
MxControlCenter
for
Windows from
www.mobotix.com
, which al-
lows displaying multiple cameras on one moni-
tor. Moreover, MxControlCenter can also process
incoming alarms from the camera and allows
for comfortably searching and evaluating the
alarm video clips (including audio).
Because of the low power consumption of only
3 Watts, the MOBOTIX D12 cameras feature the
highest operating temperature range from
-30 to + 60°C (-20 to 140°F)
. Since
MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied us-
ing standard PoE products. All models can cover wall
outlets, thus providing for perfectly protected cabling.
Using the new
MX Interface Connector
with
D Sub 15 HD socket, you can directly connect external
lamps, devices, sensors, microphones and audio am-
plifiers. The
MOBOTIX Cam-IO
expansion box simpli-
fies installing the camera and expands on these pos-
sibilities. All external devices, sensors and the Ethernet cabling are con-
nected directly to the expansion box. Likewise, the
MOBOTIX Cam-IO
installation box connects directly to the mains and supplies power to
the camera, without requiring any other type of power supply.
