THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT
HiRes Video Innovations
The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera
technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made high-
resolution video systems cost-eicient. Whether in embassies, airports, railway stations,
ports, gas stations, hotels, or on highways - over one hundred thousand MOBOTIX
video systems have been in operation on every continent for years.
Technology Leader Of Network Cameras
In a short time, MOBOTIX has gained the second place in Europe and the fourth place
worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras
exclusively for years and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in high-resolution
video systems with a market share of over 60%.
Why High-Resolution Systems?
The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail in the image. With the old analog
technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels, and a recorded image gener-
ally 0.1 megapixels (CIF). Yet, one MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records around
30 times more detail. This means that greater image areas, including 360° panoramas,
are possible, while still reducing the number of cameras, and thereby also the costs. For
example, four lanes of a gas station may be recorded with a single MOBOTIX camera,
instead of the four standard cameras normally necessary for such a task.
Disadvantages Of The Old Centralized Solution
Usually, cameras only supply images, while processing and recording take place later on a
central PC using video management software. This traditional centralized structure has many
limitations, since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing power is insuicient
when using several cameras. An HDTV MPEG-4 ilm already puts considerable strain on a PC,
how can it be expected to process dozens of high-resolution live cameras? Traditional central-
ized systems are therefore
less suitable and more
costly than high-resolution
systems due to the high
number of PCs required.
