FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase an extraordinarily powerful and compact network camera “Made in Germany”! The D25M MonoDome is a complete decentralized system that has a high-performance processor, integrated software, an array of sensors and a digital SD card video recorder for long-term storage. The weatherproof MiniUSB and MxBus interfaces of the camera allow attaching

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

The numerous, easily interchangeable lens options of the D25M provide for solutions that can be tailored for many different application scenarios. This robust dome camera (IP65) can also be ordered with optional Vandalism, On-Wall and In-Ceiling sets.

The introduction of the newest five-megapixel sensor technology with increased light sensitivity not only generates more brilliant images with more details, it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight conditions. Another improvement – The D25M-IT now generates HD images (1280 x 720 pixels) instead of the VGA images of predecessor models (640 x 480 pixels).

Another plus – the improved light sensitivity of the 5MP sensors, which drastically reduces exposure times. In conjunction with MxLEO, the exposure and image optimization program working in the background, the camera generates perceptibly better and more detailed images especially under low-light conditions. This significantly reduces motion blur that is typical of longer exposure times with little light and thus provides much more image detail (faces, license plates, etc.) for proper identification.

You can download the MOBOTIX video management software

MxEasy and MxControlCenter and the manuals from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com

> Support > Software

Downloads. For the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch iOS devices, MOBOTIX offers the

MOBOTIX App, a free-of-charge mobile solution that is easily found when searching for

“MOBOTIX AG” in the App Store.

If you have any questions, our support and international sales staff are available at [email protected] from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm (German time).

We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you all the best with your new MOBOTIX camera D25M MonoDome!

A Master Of Adaptability

All D25M models come with an easily interchangeable lens and a robust 1.5 mm thick polycarbonate dome. An extensive range of accessories is also available for installing the camera in an application-optimized manner, for supplying power or expanding the functions of the camera. Furthermore, MOBOTIX customers can take advantage of

MxEasy or the professional control center software

MxControlCenter free of charge and with an unlimited user and camera license. If required, a D25M camera can even be upgraded to function as a powerful intercom system by adding the MOBOTIX ExtIO module.

Robust And Elegant

The D25M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models depending on the software features.

Five high-performance lenses are currently available for the D25M in the compact M14 housing. Due to their low power consumption of only 3 watts, D25M cameras can operate in an extremely wide temperature range (–30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F). Since MOBOTIX cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via the network cabling using standard PoE products. The D25M IT and Secure models are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP65; D25M Basic: IP54). The D25M Wall Mount makes the camera ideally suited for outdoor use and for installation over surface-mounted sockets so that the cabling remains thoroughly concealed.

Complete HiRes Video Solutions by MOBOTIX

As opposed to conventional solutions, MOBOTIX cameras with their decentralized approach offer so much more – state-of-the-art, network-based video security technology that increases operating efficiency and yields a high degree of every-day usefulness.

Extraordinary Picture Quality

Image quality is the one key criterion of a security camera. Due to their internal video analysis and data storage capabilities, the decentralized MOBOTIX systems are independent of the available network bandwidth. As a result, the system provides for efficiently storing and managing the video streams of a virtually unlimited number of cameras with the highest resolution at a reasonable cost.

5 Megapixel Image Sensors (5MP)

MOBOTIX cameras possess high-resolution image sensors with 5 megapixel resolution and excellent light sensitivity, which translates into more details when zooming and more clear-cut advantages for every user. By using the 5MP technology in their color and black&white image sensors, MOBOTIX cameras deliver convincing image quality and details even in bad weather and under lowlight conditions. Another important plus: thanks to its internal pre-processing of the image data, the camera can generate video streams with up to 30 frames per second.

MOBOTIX ExtIO

/140


QXGA Image Format: 2.5 Times More Detail than Full HD

The 5MP sensor has a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels on both day and night sensors.

While the image sensor shows its full strength when zooming the live image, the maximum image size per sensor has the more user-friendly QXGA format.

Low Light Conditions – No Problem

The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 5 megapixels.

The higher light sensitivity of the new color image sensors now allow using MOBOTIX color cameras around the clock even when the illumination is low.

MxLEO: Exposure Optimization and Reduced Image Noise

MxLEO – the MOBOTIX Lowlight Exposure Optimization – is an innovative technology that provides an entirely new experience in digital image optimization in all cameras running firmware 4.1.9 and higher. On the one hand, the improved light sensitivity of the MOBOTIX

5MP sensors drastically reduces exposure times. MxLEO, the exposure and image optimization program especially developed for these conditions, on the other hand, generates perceptibly better and more detailed images especially under low-light conditions below

25 Lux. Such conditions are typical at a parking lot at night that is illuminated by regular lights (approx. 10 to 25 Lux). Or in a building after hours, in which the emergency lights are burning (approx. 5 Lux). This significantly reduces motion blur that is typical of longer exposure times with little light and thus provides much more image detail (faces, license plates, etc.) for proper identification.

High-Resolution Sees More And Costs Less

One D25M camera equipped with a 82° Wide Angle lens is usually all that is required to monitor either an entire room from a corner or the four lanes of a gas station. The high degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also minimizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements and number of recording devices required. D25M cameras (IT and Secure) feature direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards or external USB drives. As a result, these cameras can be used in standalone operation with zero network load!

Universal Application From The Vacation Home To The Airport

MOBOTIX D25M cameras are suitable for use in large-scale facilities like airports given their unlimited scalability and high performance. However, they are equally suitable for use in small commercial or private buildings thanks to their integrated event, storage, alarm and telephony functions.

The Right Lens For Every Application

You can change the lens in the D25M camera models on site whenever necessary. Each lens is secured by a lock ring. Each camera has a factory-aligned and quality-tested lens, which makes on-site camera focusing unnecessary in most cases. The D25M cameras are available for delivery with a lens of your choosing or no lens at all.

With a D25M equipped with an L25 lens, the

(slightly) distorted image can be corrected by software

The image area captured by the D25M varies depending on the selected lens. With a

Super Wide Angle lens (L25 with 82°), for example, almost an entire room can be recorded from just one corner. With an L160 Telephoto lens, a D25M camera with a high-resolution

5 megapixel sensor is capable of clearly recording a license plate number from a distance of 75 meters. Or even the serial number of a 5 euro bill from a distance of two meters!



14

/140


Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required

The D25M can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature in the integrated D25M camera software. The image from the mono dome camera can be enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled PTZ panel, and you can "move" the view to any section of the image. This provides the features of a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages of maintenance and wear.

Quick and easy navigation with a USB joystick

Original D25M image with L25 lens (82°)

This vPTZ functionality works differently depending on the camera operation platform

(

web browser, MxEasy, MxControlCenter). Virtual zoom, pan and tilt using MxEasy and

MxControlCenter is very simple thanks to special software tools and the use of an optional joystick. However, a joystick may also be used even with pure browser-based operation from Internet Explorer (together with an ActiveX plug-in).



D25M Overview

15

/140

Simultaneous Zoomed Live Image And Full Image Recording

All conventional, motorized PTZ cameras only store the image that is currently viewed as the live image (

live image recording). This has one serious disadvantage as the recording can only show what has happened in the "visible" portion of the image; the rest is lost and cannot be examined later on. For this reason, MOBOTIX has added the new

full image

recording feature to the D25M. This will not store the currently viewed image that reflects the pan/tilt position and the zoom setting chosen by the user, but the full sensor image - without vPTZ settings. When examining the recorded images at a later point in time, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow the visible image to be zoomed and use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

Example:

The people marked by the red circle in the middle area of the image would not have been recorded by a regular PTZ camera; the full image recording of the D25M allows you to determine, for example, the exact time at which these people entered the image area recorded by the camera. A browser (Internet Explorer with MxPEG ActiveX plug-in),

MxControlCenter or MxEasy can be used to examine the recorded sequences.

Integrated vPTZ functions allow the complete stored full image to be

"analyzed" at a later point in time (in MxEasy and MxControlCenter)

Live image

The image distortion caused by the L25 82°

Wide Angle lens can be corrected. Since this function requires more computing power, it should not be enabled in the live image for applications that require a maximum frame rate. The image distortion in the recording can also be corrected at a later time.

4 GB MicroSD card preinstalled in the camera

(D25M IT/Secure)

Internal DVR

The D25M IT/Secure model features

direct recording to integrated

MicroSD cards, which makes the camera fully independent of any external storage media, even for longer periods of time. The camera internally stores high-resolution video, without requiring an external recording device or PC and therefore without overloading the network whatsoever. Old recordings may be overwritten automatically or automatically deleted after a specified period of time. A 16 GB MicroSD card, for example, allows the camera to store more than a quarter million event images in VGA format (640 x 480). For security reasons, the camera can even encrypt the stored data.

Power failures are not an issue, as the video and image sequences remain safely stored on the MicroSD card. Access to stored video sequences is possible at any time from the camera user interface in the browser, MxControlCenter or MxEasy. If you would like to archive sequences, you can store all of the data or only certain parts to a computer or a USB hard disk.

MxActivitySensor Video Motion Analysis: Secure Detection, Avoiding False Alarms

Regardless if there are large objects in the foreground or small objects in the background –

MxActivitySensor will only trigger video recording and alarm messaging if something important is happening. Interference such as trees shaking in the wind, moving shadows and clouds and snow falling will no longer lead to false alarms. Since all of this is filtered automatically, all that remains is to set the direction of movement of objects that should trigger alarms.

Robust And Maintenance-Free

Thanks to their low power consumption of approximately 3 watts and the total absence of mechanical moving parts, the D25M models feature the highest operating temperature range from –30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F and are completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (D25M IT/Secure IP65; D25M Basic IP54). Since the cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied all year round via the Ethernet cabling using standard PoE products.



D25M Overview

Model Versions

The D25M is available in the Secure, IT or Basic models, which all come with different features. The D25M is delivered with an L25 Super Wide Angle lens (horizontal angle of

82°) as standard. Four additional lenses (Wide Angle and Telephoto) with viewing angles of 13°, 27°, 40° or 55° are available upon request. The standard IT and Secure models include a pre-formatted and pre-installed 4 GB MicroSD card. Audio features can be added at any time with the ExtIO module (not available for Basic model).

Basic and IT Cameras: Maximum Image Size Is now HD instead of VGA

The D25M-Basic and IT models now generate HD images (1280 x 720 pixels) instead of the

VGA images of predecessor models (640 x 480 pixels). The special quality advantage of a

MOBOTIX Basic/IT camera with HD resolution (1280 x 720): The HD images of a MOBOTIX are generated by the high-resolution image sensor with 2592 x 1944 pixels and are optimized and scaled down for the HD format. Because of the high-resolution sensor, the generated images – especially with respect to quality and light sensitivity – are noticeably superior than regular HD cameras that are only using a simple HD sensor with 1280 x 720 pixels.

1.1.2 Advantages and New Features

The high-resolution D25M MonoDome is a universally deployable, highly innovative and easily concealable camera system. A powerful successor to the D24M, the D25M features five-megapixel image sensors. For technical reasons, the live or recorded images displayed by an D25M sensor have a maximum size of QXGA. However, the D25M is clearly superior to the previous model in terms of image quality and frame rate.

Smooth HiRes Video Streams

The modified hardware of the D25M transmits the camera‘s video streams even more smoothly than the high-performance D24M, even when high resolution is required. Since image streams of 16 frames per second and higher are perceived as fluid video by the human eye, the maximum frame rate is limited to 30 frames per second (when using

MEGA resolution of 1280 x 960) in order to provide sufficient camera processing power for other tasks.

Conclusive Still Images

Thanks to the proprietary MxPEG video codec developed exclusively for MOBOTIX cameras, the cameras offer the advantage that a recording can be paused at any given point and still provide meaningful and useful snapshots due to the absence of distortion. This is essential for security applications and allows individuals or license plates to be identified, for example. In contrast, the H.264 standard, which was developed for feature movies and is favored by some video security providers, cannot achieve this with the required level of quality.

Good Color Images Even In Low Light

The more light-sensitive an image sensor is, the better the image quality, especially when the ambient light level is low, such as at dusk and in heavy rainfall. The D25M offers the best MOBOTIX image quality that is currently available thanks to the light sensitivity provided by the five-megapixel color sensor that is four times higher than that of the previous three-megapixel color sensor and the new MxLEO exposure control.

More Details When Zooming

The maximum zoom factor of the D25M is 1.26 times higher than that of the S14 due to the use of five-megapixel technology. This means that the degree of detail provided by the camera has improved by 26 percent. As a result, an D25M can now be installed even further away than before from the objects and areas to be monitored. In addition, this relativizes the horizontal image angles of the new five-megapixel sensors that are slightly smaller compared to the D24M.

Black&White Image Sensor with 5 Megapixels

You can now order the D25M with a five-megapixel night sensor that can deliver black and white images with up to QXGA resolution. This results in larger images than those delivered by the previous 1.3-megapixel sensor with a perceptibly higher degree of details.



D25M Overview

MxActivitySensor

The D25M provides an activity-controlled image analysis sensor as standard for detecting the movements of people and objects in a defined surveillance area (full image or section).

The MxActivitySensor delivers reliable results particularly in outdoor area applications, in contrast to video motion detection that continues to be available and that registers all image changes in defined video motion windows. In the monitored area, the camera distinguishes between the continuous movements of vehicles, persons or objects that trigger an alarm and movements that do not set off an alarm such as shadows, changing light conditions and trees swaying in the wind.

Low Power Consumption In Accordance With The PoE Standard (IEEE 802.3af)

An D25M uses no more power than its predecessor (typically 4.5 watts), despite the new sensor technology. Adjusting the PoE class via the camera software also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on all ports with PoE class 3 (up to max. 12.95 V).

1.1.3 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 limitations 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 therefore becoming less suitable and cost effective.

As part of the decentralized

MOBOTIX concept, every camera features a

high-speed processor, and, if necessary, digital

long-term

flash memory (MicroSD card) can be integrated to provide several

MOBOTIX camera

days of recording time. The computer or video control center is required only to view and control

Recording

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 D25M 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 D25M is equipped with a shock detector as standard (for all IT and Secure models).

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 software supports easy programming of independent exposure windows, making them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.

In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX D25M camerascan 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 App with your iPhone or iPad on the road.



D25M Overview

The decentralized MOBOTIX video solutions are superior to traditional systems in all major aspects. They are also considerably cheaper to operate since they require

•

Fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panorama images with megapixel technology

•

Fewer recording devices because in the decentralized system, ten times the standard number of cameras can be used to record high-resolution HDTV video with sound on one computer/server simultaneously

•

Lower network bandwidth because everything is processed in the camera itself and the high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transported for analysis

1.1.4 Green IP Video

The modern, network-based video security technology offers numerous advantages to use energy efficiently. Due to the special product and system properties, the decision to install MOBOTIX video systems is also a decision for Green IP Video: low power consumption and environmental friendly because of long life expectancy and minimal amount of materials involved.

Low Power Consumption

MOBOTIX cameras are cost-efficiently supplied via PoE. This reduces the expenses for power and, in addition, saves copper and other important raw material as less power cabling is necessary.

Robust

MOBOTIX IP65 cameras are highly robust and work – without high-power climate control and extra protective housing – in a temperature range from –30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F.

Modern

Integrated into the cameras are high-power processors and flash storage, thus making energy-consuming servers and storage devices unnecessary. And, of course, the disposal of waste later.

High Resolution

A hemispheric MOBOTIX camera with two image sensors replaces up to eight standard cameras – including their consumption of energy and resources.

Sustainable

Without mechanical components, MOBOTIX cameras are maintenance-free and stay fully functional, even after years – and are, thus, more sustainable compared to other systems.

Forward-Looking

Even previous camera models can be easily updated and then offer new functionalities.

Remote updates via the internet and the fact that the cameras are maintenance-free reduce trips by car, and, thereby, the negative effect on the environment.

1.2 Technical Specifications

1.2.1 Lens Options, Hardware And Software Features

MOBOTIX currently offers five standard lenses with M14 thread from the L25 Super Wide

Angle lens with a 22 mm focal length through to the L135 Telephoto lens with a 135 mm focal length (equivalent to 35 mm camera). Since MOBOTIX cameras are backlight-proof, they do not require a mechanical auto iris, making them extremely robust and maintenance-free.

• L25 Super Wide Angle with 82° image angle (horizontal)

• L38 Wide Angle with 55° image angle (horizontal)

• L51 Wide Angle with 40° image angle (horizontal)

• L76 Telephoto with 27° image angle (horizontal)

• L160 Telephoto with 13° image angle (horizontal)

The L25 Super Wide Angle 82° lens has very little distortion and delivers good image quality, even when using the maximum digital zoom. If a camera with this lens has been mounted in the corner of a room, the complete room is visible on the image.

Notes

The specified focal lengths of the MOBOTIX lenses do not reflect the actual focal length of the lenses, but the focal length (Lxx mm) converted to 35 mm camera format. For example, the MOBOTIX L25 Super Wide-Angle lens has an actual focal length of

4 mm. This would be the equivalent of 25 mm on a 35 mm camera. It is therefore referred to as an L25. Since the image sensors in digital cameras have different sizes, converting the focal lengths to 35 mm camera as a known format allows the image formats and the fields of vision of the different lenses to be calculated and compared more easily. Another benefit is that you can easily set a 35 mm camera

(analog or digital) to the same focal length as the MOBOTIX lens (Lxx) to obtain the same field of vision. This approach greatly facilitates lens selection.

D25M Camera Manual: Installation

2 INSTALLATION

Although the D25M is primarily designed for installation on walls and ceilings, it can also be mounted to a pole or the corner of a building, for example, using the appropriate

MOBOTIX accessories.

2.1 Preparing The Installation

Before installing the MOBOTIX D25M, the following questions should be answered:

1.

Where will the camera be mounted?

Mounting to a ceiling or wall, see

Section 2.1.1

2.

Which other mounting options are available?

On-wall mounting, in-ceiling mounting, vandalism protection, wall mounting, pole

mounting, see

Section 2.1.2

3.

How is the camera connected to the network and how is the power supplied?

MX-NPA-PoE or other PoE components (IEEE 802.3af), see

Section 2.1.3

4.

How are the connections furnished from the building?

Sockets, see Section 2.1.4

5.

What cabling considerations are necessary?

Wiring, see

Section 2.1.5

The following sections contain a brief answer to each of these questions, as well as references to the relevant sections in this manual. For more information on the MOBOTIX D25M and available accessories, please see:

www.mobotix.com.



Preparing The Installation

2.1.1 Ceiling And Wall Mounting

Like all MOBOTIX cameras, the D25M is extremely flexible in terms of how and where it

can be installed (see Section 2.1.2). The Basic model meets the IP54 standard while the IT

and Secure models are weatherproof in accordance with IP65. However, installations on a wall or ceiling are the most common mounting positions. In indoor spaces, the D25M is usually mounted from the ceiling. The Super Wide Angle lens (82°, L25) allows a room to be monitored almost entirely by a camera mounted in the corner. Using the PTZ software, you can easily zoom in on image details in either the live image or the recording.

/140


Wall Installation Using The Outdoor Wall Mount

Outdoors, the D25M is usually mounted on a building wall. In principle, the camera can be installed without additional wall mounts, although the positional range of the lens may be limited as a result.

We therefore recommend using the practical Wall Mount from

the range of available accessories (see Section 2.6). The cable exit of the D25M is located

in the center of the housing's underside. For more detailed information on the installation process, see

Section 2.2 and the following sections. The appropriate drilling templates

can be found at the end of the manual.

One Camera For 4 Gas Pumps - Long-Term Recording Without Peripheral Devices

A HiRes MOBOTIX Camera Can Replace Up To 6 Conventional Cameras




2.1.2 Mounting Options

On-Wall Installation (MX-OPT-AP)

The On-Wall Set can reliably protect external cables if the cables cannot be fed in the center below the camera housing. The On-Wall Mount also provides ample space for extra modules.

On-Wall Installation With 10° Inclination (MX-OPT-AP-10DEG)

This On-Wall Set is identical to the regular On-Wall Set, except that the mounted camera is inclined by 10 degrees. The inclination makes it possible for the camera to deliver the best images even in demanding situations.

In-Ceiling Installation (MX-OPT-IC)

The In-Ceiling Set allows the D25M camera to be installed in suspended ceilings, for example. This type of installation provides optimal protection for the camera and reduces the visible profile to a minimum since only the dome remains visible.

Vandalism Set (MX-D25M-Vandal)

The Vandalism Set provides added protection for D25M cameras. The set consists of a robust stainless steel cover (matt or polished) and an impact-resistant polycarbonate dome. A camera equipped with the Vandalism Set is perfectly suited for applications in demanding environments (such as prisons, trouble areas, train stations, etc.).

Wall Mount (MX-OPT-WH)

The Wall Mount is the ideal solution for mounting the D25M to walls for indoor and outdoor applications. The camera is completely dust-proof and resistant to water jets (IP65). The Wall Mount also covers RJ45 flush-mounted sockets and has ample space for additional modules.

Corner And Pole Mount (MX-OPT-MH)

The MOBOTIX Corner and Pole Mount is the ideal choice when mounting the MOBOTIX D25M to a pole or building corner. This mount can only be used in conjunction with the Wall Mount. For poles with a diameter ranging from 60 to 180 mm.

2.1.3 Network Connection And Power Supply, UPS

The D25M supports the Power over

Ethernet standard

IEEE 802.3af (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE Conforming To IEEE 802.3af)

All D25M models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The Network Power

Adapter (MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, it is worth investing in a PoE-capable supply device D25M available on the market (PoE switch/router).

Network Power Adapter

MX-NPA-PoE

The Network Power

Adapter replaces the crossover cable when directly connecting to a computer

LAN or POWER PC or POWER

CAMERA

The

maximum length

of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is

100 m

. The Mx2wire+ media converter set (available as an accessory) can be used to extend the range of an Ethernet connection up to 500 m in length (maximum transmission speed for a 500-m cable: 45 Mbps and 12 W for the PoE device).

Note

The MOBOTIX D25M can be powered by switches or routers which support the PoE

(Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.

Advantages of PoE power supply:

• Allows setting up centralized backup power supply via the network.

• Reduces energy consumption.

• No extra network connection for camera required.




53

/140

Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

You should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails. These devices also provide full protection against electrical surges and voltage fluctuations, enhancing the reliability of the system as a whole.

When using a more powerful 19” rack-mounted UPS, you can also protect all other network components (for example, switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.).

Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating, even during winter, the average power consumption of less than 5 watts is very low. This, in turn, means that you can centralize the UPS-protected power supply by injecting power into the Ethernet cables

(max. 100 m). This kind of protected power supply can be used either with MOBOTIX

PoE products (MX-NPA-PoE + Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to IEEE 802.3af.

PoE switch

PC/server

RAID

UPS

UPS units not only protect the camera against power failures, they also protect all other connected network devices against damage from voltage peaks and lows

2.1.4 Preparing the Camera Connections, MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box

Once the camera position, the position of the cable outlets and the method of power supply have been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. Before installing the MOBOTIX

D25M, you should make sure that the network connections have been properly tested so that the proper functioning of the camera is guaranteed.

If the camera is to be installed outdoors, you should also install the MOBOTIX

MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box (optional accessory). This interface box not only provides

overvoltage protection of up to 4 kV for MOBOTIX IP cameras, it also provides simple and weatherproof connection of the cameras to a network patch cable (

-RJ45 variant) or a network installation cable (

-LSA variant).

For additional information on the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box, open the

Products >

Accessories > Interface Boxes section on

/140


2.1.5 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning And Surge Protection

When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always adhere to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention and protection against lightning.

MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by a range of measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur. Particular care should be taken when installing the camera outside to ensure proper

protection against lightning, as this also protects the building and the entire network infrastructure.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX cameras installed only by certified specialists accustomed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the applicable regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the current technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

Guidelines for Wiring

• Data cable: Make sure you only use double-shielded

CAT5 or higher cable (

S/STP) for Ethernet connections.

• Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires special precautions and measures regarding the cables as well as lightning and surge protection (see below).

• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed the maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure proper data transfer (see

Section 2.9).

• Avoiding induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular power lines or high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum distances to the power cables.

Fire Prevention

When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to the country-specific regulations (e.g. VDE in Germany, IEEE in the USA) in effect on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.




Lightning and Surge Protection

In order to avoid damage to MOBOTIX cameras from overvoltages, you should always install the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box. This competitively priced and weatherproof network connector provides reliable protection against overvoltages of up to 4 kV; the box

is easily installed in the Outdoor Wall Mount, for example (see

Section 1.4.12, «MX-Overvoltage-

Protection-Box»).

More information is available at an institution such as the International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC,

www.iec.ch) or at a manufacturer of protection devices against lightning and electrical surges, such as Dehn (

www.dehn.de).

2.2 Mounting The Camera Without Accessories

2.2.1 Mounting Instructions

As an allround camera, the D25M is primarily designed for installation on walls or

ceilings. In general, direct installation of the camera without any accessories is always possible. However, to ensure a flush finish with the surface, you should first install a flushmounted wall outlet (space for the connection cable).

If you choose to mount the camera directly to a wall without the MOBOTIX-recommended wall mount, you should position the camera in the center of the room to guarantee maximum coverage.



Mounting The Camera Without Accessories

Required Tools

Please first check that all the components supplied with the camera are present in the original packaging. You will need these additional tools for installing:

• Any additional materials for fastening the camera to a ceiling/wall, if necessary –

4

Torx screws incl. screw anchors and washers are included in the original packaging.

•

Screwdriver

•

Power drill for screw anchor holes needed for ceiling/wall mounting

• MOBOTIX drilling templates (at the end of this manual)

•

Scissors to cut out the template

•

Pen to mark the drill holes

• Materials and any tools needed to connect the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable in the camera with the on-site network cable.

57

/140



58

/140


2.2.2 Procedure For All D25M Cameras

1. Install and prepare

the network connection.

2. Drill the holes: Please use the enclosed screws and screw anchors whenever possible. It is essential that you use the supplied drilling template to ensure the precise alignment of holes for either the mounting ring of the D25M IT/Secure or the camera base of the D25M Basic (fold-out at the end of this manual).

3.

Hollow out background surface for the cable and connector or insert the cable behind the suspended ceiling or cable duct.

4.

Connect the pre-installed network cable of the camera to the installation cable

(adapter not included in delivery).

5. Attach the camera to the ceiling or wall (see sections below).

6.

Aim and adjust the lens (see Section 3.3.1).

Caution

For safety reasons, only use the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable that was included in the delivery. Always ensure that the rubber plug of the network cable reliably protects the outer shell from moisture entering the camera. All openings of the camera housing need to be properly sealed. This is the only way to guarantee that the camera remains weatherproof.

Notes

Network Connection Without Pre-Installed Cable

The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above the camera. Make sure the cable is completely sealed by the rubber gasket on the housing (do not bend the cable!) When preparing the installation, ensure that at least 15 cm of cable length

(excluding the connector itself) remains inside the camera housing (similar to factory preinstallation). This will ensure that you can turn and tilt the lens mount freely later on.

Surface-Mounted Socket

If a surface-mounted socket is used, the camera must be mounted using the outdoor Wall Mount. The camera cannot be mounted directly on top of protruding, surface-mounted sockets.




2.2.3 Procedure For D25M IT/Secure

59

/140

1. Install and prepare

the network connection

2. Install the flush-mounted socket:The pre-installed cable attached to the camera must be connected with the on-site network cable. For installation without accessories, a flush-mounted socket must be installed first to provide space for the connection. The cabling is now perfectly protected and cannot be seen or accessed from the outside. The camera cannot be mounted directly on top of protruding, surface-mounted sockets. Use the supplied camera drilling template (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the position of the flush-mounted socket for the desired camera position.

3.

Drill the holes: Drill the holes for the supplied screw anchors (see drilling template).

4. Connect the cable: Connect the on-site network cable to the camera patch cable using a standard connector.

5. Attach the camera: Use the (included) screws to affix the mounting ring and the camera at the designated position.

6. The outer shell is required at a later stage in the installation and is attached only when the dome has been removed and placed back after a lens adjustment.

7. Proceed to Section 3.3.1, «Aiming and Adjusting The Lens».



60

/140


2.2.4 Procedure For D25M Basic

1. Unscrew the

transparent dome of the camera in a coun-

ter-clockwise direction. To keep the dome clean, use the enclosed plastic foil or a lint-free cotton cloth.

2. Unplug the pre-installed network cable from the network connector inside the camera. Never touch electronic components as the static electricity may damage them!

3.

Loosen the internal part of the camera by releasing the two blue clamps with the thin side of the hook wrench.

Now turn the toothed ring in a counter-clockwise direction using the other side of the hook wrench.




4. Remove the internal part of the camera with the lens mount from the base of the camera.

5.

Position the base of the camera housing over the

drilled holes and the prepared cable exit. Please make sure that the camera base is relatively flush with the surface. The network cable with connector should be flush with the ceiling or wall as a result. Since the three holes for the screws in the outer shell are factory sealed, they must broken open, for example, using a 5 mm drill bit.

6.

Tighten the base of the camera using the supplied

screws. Depending on the installation site, the screw openings should be sealed shut (e.g. with silicon).

7.

Insert the internal part of the camera with the lens

mount into the attached outer shell and secure it by turning the two blue clamps in a clockwise direction using the supplied hook wrench or a screwdriver. This will prevent the internal part of the camera from falling out before it has been tightened into place.

8. Now secure the internal part of the camera by turning the toothed ring in a clockwise direction until you can still turn the internal part of the camera without much force.

9.

Connect the network cable to the network connector of the camera.

2.3 Mounting The Camera With The On-Wall Set


On-Wall Sets available in 0° and 10° inclinations allow the D25M to be installed quickly and easily on the wall or ceiling of a room. When using the set outdoors (IP65), ensure that the screw holes on the rear of the camera housing are sealed with the included foam rubber washers. It is not possible to install the On-Wall Set directly above a surface- or flush-mounted socket.

The 10° On-Wall Set is the right choice if you want to mount the D25M on a wall with the lens pointing vertically downward (90° or more). If the 10° On-Wall Set is not used, then the angle of the lens may not exceed 80° for design-related reasons.

If the discreet appearance of the D25M is of particular importance, the In-Ceiling Set is ideal for mounting the camera on ceilings or drywalls.

The network connection and drill holes must be prepared correctly before installing the

On-Wall Set (both indoors and outdoors):

• Network connection: You can use any one of the four openings in the On-Wall Set to guide the cabling into the camera. The network cable must be fed through the opening without a connector. An additional connector to connect to the camera cable is required.

• Preparing the drill holes: Use the supplied drilling template for the D25M On-Wall

Set (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the exact position for drilling the anchor holes with regard to the camera position.

Caution

When using the On-Wall Set outdoors, ensure that the screw holes on the rear of the camera housing are sealed with the foam rubber washers included in delivery (IP65).

• Materials and tools needed to connect the pre-installed MOBOTIX network cable in the camera with the on-site network cable



Mounting The Camera With The On-Wall Set

2.3.2 Procedure

1.

Attach washers: Prior to installation, stick a black foam rubber washer around each of the four screw holes on the rear side of the on-wall housing (remove the adhesive foil and press into place, surface must be clean and free of grease). This prevents water from entering the housing.

2. Prepare the cabling: Insert the seal into the cable opening of the On-Wall Set such that the black rubber seal is on the outside. Fix it in place from the inside using a small hexagonal nut.

3.

Mount the On-Wall Set: Mount the On-Wall Set (without the camera) at the intended position using the Torx screws (included with D25M camera, items 1.10 – 1.12).

4.

Cable feeding: Attach the counter nut to the network cable, pass it through the seal from the outside and tighten the nut. The network cable is now screwed into the On-Wall Set, weatherproof. All unused openings must be sealed with the included sealant plugs. The cable passing into the housing must always be installed using the supplied three-part fittings.

5.

Remove the camera outer shell: Remove all four Allen screws with the supplied Allen wrench and lift off the outer shell (not mounted upon delivery).

6. Remove the mounting ring: Separate the black mounting ring from the camera housing (lift the spring clip).

This ring is not required when mounting the camera to the On-Wall Set.

7. Connect the cable: Connect the on-site network cable to the network cable passing through the On-Wall Set using a standard connector. Make sure to leave enough unused cable inside the housing. This will ensure that you can turn and tilt the lens mount freely later on. Excess cable can be easily stored within the On-Wall Mount.

8. Attach the camera to the mount: Press the D25M so that it is seated firmly within the On-Wall Mount. The tapered guides at the back of the D25M housing fit exactly into the openings of the On-Wall Mount. Attach the white outer shell with the supplied Allen screws (without rubber seal) once the lens has been adjusted.

9. Proceed to Section 3.3.1, «Aiming and Adjusting The

Lens».



Mounting The Camera With The In-Ceiling Set

2.4 Mounting The Camera With The In-Ceiling Set

67

/140

The white decorative ring is also available in stainless steel


The In-Ceiling Set offers the most stylish installation option for the D25M. When properly installed, the only visible component is a particularly sleek and discreet dome camera, while most of the remaining components are concealed inside the ceiling. Only the compact dome and the thin decorative ring that conceals the screws can be seen.

For these reasons, the D25M installed with the In-Ceiling Set is the preferred option for most indoor spaces frequented by customers or the general public (e.g. hotels, restaurants, banks, retail stores, public buildings, etc.).

The common use of suspended ceilings in commercial and public buildings is an additional reason to place a preference on in-ceiling installation. The installation process is also simplified, as the network cable may be laid without difficulty and only a 15 cm diameter hole must be cut in the ceiling or ceiling component.

Before installing the MOBOTIX D25M (IT/Secure) on an indoor ceiling with the In-Ceiling

Set, you must prepare the network connection and drill a hole for the camera:

•

Network connection: The network cable is fed through the ceiling directly above the camera. When preparing the installation, make sure that about 15 cm of cable remains unused.

•

Cut a hole for installation: The hole should have a diameter of 150 mm (see drilling template at the end of the manual).

2.6 Installing The Wall Mount

Direct installation over surface- and flushmounted sockets


The Wall Mount allows you to easily mount D25M cameras to walls or extensions, both indoors or outdoors. The camera remains IP65 weatherproof (dust-proof and resistant to water jets). The Wall Mount also covers RJ45 flush-mounted sockets and has ample space for additional modules (Mx2wire, WLAN, batteries, etc.).

Before mounting the MOBOTIX D25M with the Wall Mount, you must prepare the network connection and drill the holes for the fixtures:

• The on-site network cabling is passed through the opening in the back of the Wall Mount. The cable and the required

(standard) connector for the camera cable (patch cable) are ideally protected by a robust wall sealing made from foam rubber. Nothing is visible or accessible from the outside. The

Wall Mount may be mounted directly on top of surface- or flush-mounted sockets. Maximum width x height of the socket: 88 mm x 80 mm.

• Only use the

factory installed patch cable of the D25M (50 cm cable length) or a

MOBOTIX cable that is available as an accessory in various lengths.

• All openings of the camera housing need to be properly sealed. This is the only way to guarantee that the camera remains weatherproof.

• The supplied screw anchors should be used for the drill holes in the wall. Use the drilling template for the D25M Wall Mount (fold-out at the end of this manual) to mark the exact position for the drill holes and the holes through which the cables will later be fed.

– multiple cameras: with quality PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af

• The

maximum length

of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is

100 m

.

• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the

10/100 Mbps

Ethernet interface of the camera. Check for LED activity on the corresponding port of the switch or router. When deploying several cameras, read the notes in Section 4.11,

«Operating Multiple Cameras» in the Software Manual.

• It is highly recommend to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide back up power.

• If you are using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet network components to supply power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased, thus extending the life of these components.

Caution

Appliances with a maximum total power consumption of four watts may be connected to the MxBus connector

and USB connector

if power is supplied to the camera using PoE class 3

. If

PoE Class 2

is used,

the power consumption of all the connected appliances should not exceed one watt!

3.2.3 First Images And Network Parameter Configuration In MxControlCenter

Download

MxControlCenter for free from www.mobotix.com

Installation

Download the setup file from the MOBOTIX website to install the latest version. The latest versions are available at

www.mobotix.com in the Support > Software Downloads >

MxControlCenter section.

To install MxControlCenter, simply double-click on the setup file and follow the instructions.

The selected files are copied to the computer (older versions will be removed automatically) and the designated shortcuts are created during the installation process (Desktop,

Start Menu, etc.).

Caution

MxControlCenter will automatically attempt to find all MOBOTIX cameras in the physically-connected network (that is, even a MOBOTIX camera with a factory IP address of

10.x.x.x ). Make sure that the firewall settings on your computer are low enough so that MxControlCenter is not blocked. If any MOBOTIX cameras are found, MxControlCenter can

automatically reconfigure them so that they are available in the current subnet of the computer. If you do not have permission to modify these settings on your computer, contact your system administrator for assistance.




MOBOTIX– Searching And Displaying MOBOTIX Cameras

Launch MxControlCenter after successful installation by double-clicking on the shortcut that was created during installation or the executable file

MxCC.exe in the installation directory on your computer.

The

Add Video Sources dialog box appears and the application automatically searches for MOBOTIX cameras in the local network when you launch the program for the first time.

Select

Video Source > Add from the menu to perform a camera search at a later time.

If your MOBOTIX camera is properly connected, it should appear together with the existing video sources in the following list:

105

/140

Automated Search For

MOBOTIX Cameras

List of video sources

Legend Camera preview

Note

Video sources in this context not only refer to MOBOTIX cameras, but also to thirdparty IP cameras, file server paths, MxPEG clips and analog cameras connected via

MxServer (for example, analog dome cameras). These video sources are not found automatically and need to be added manually.



106

/140


Cameras Are Found But Are Located In A Different Subnet

The symbols in the first column and the legend in the dialog box indicate whether you can access a particular camera directly from the MxControlCenter, which is the case for all cameras designated with ( OK) . Cameras designated with (different subnet) are located in a different subnet. This usually applies to new cameras or cameras that have been reset to their factory settings.

Note

MxControlCenter finds all MOBOTIX cameras, even when the computer and the cameras are not located in the same subnet.

Once you have marked all of the desired video sources in the list with

OK, you can now select the ones that you wish to display and manage in MxControlCenter. The live image is automatically displayed in the preview window when a camera is selected to help you identify the cameras.

For cameras marked with Different subnet or if you want to add additional video sources, follow the instructions in the following sections. You can also display the selected cameras

directly in a layout. For more information, see «Creating A New Layout» further down.

Reconfiguring Cameras In A Different Subnet

If one or more MOBOTIX cameras are displayed with the status

Different subnet (for example, cameras with a factory IP address), MxControlCenter automatically offers to configure the network settings of these cameras. In this case, the application displays the dialog box shown here after you have clicked on the

Add selected video sources button.

Click on Yes to configure the cameras to the subnet of the computer.

A DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses for network devices in most networks so that you can automatically select the default setting

Get IP address automatically

(DHCP) in the Configure Selected Cameras dialog box.




Activate the Use this IP address/this range option if the IP address of a particular camera must be assigned manually (for networks with static IP addresses). Obtain the assigned

IP address, subnet mask and standard gateway from your network administrator and enter the data. All you have to do is enter the range of IP addresses that includes the addresses of all of these cameras to reconfigure multiple cameras at the same time.

107

/140

Make sure that the Store configuration in the camera checkbox is selected. This setting ensures that the cameras are displayed with the correct network settings even after they have been rebooted. Click on

OK to close the dialog box.

Wait until MxControlCenter has changed the network settings and rebooted the cameras.

The status of the reconfigured camera changes from (

Different subnet) to (OK).

Defining Additional Video Sources

In addition to the MOBOTIX cameras that are found automatically, you can also manually add video sources to the list of video sources for MxControlCenter.

•

Camera: Here, you can enter the known IP address or DNS name of a MOBOTIX camera or a third-party IP camera if it was not found by the automatic search feature.

• MxPEG clip: Adds an MxPEG video clip previously recorded by a MOBOTIX camera as a video source.

•

Recording path: Adds the path of an external file server where a MOBOTIX camera has recorded audio/video data. The videos or images recorded at that location can now be played back using the

Player or Video Search.



108

/140


Editing The Video Source List

Right-click on this list to open a shortcut menu from which you can select all video sources or cancel the selection. You can also use this method to remove from the list some or all of the video sources that you would not like to display or manage in MxControlCenter.

If you have cancelled the camera configuration process or need a password that differs from the camera’s factory default password, you can also configure the camera from the shortcut menu at a later date and enter the user name and password required for reconfiguration at that time.

It is also possible to open the Configure selected cameras dialog box using the shortcut menu in order to change the camera network parameters.

Creating A New Layout

Select the camera or other video sources that you would like to display in a layout (a view with a group of selected cameras) in the

Add video sources dialog box and then click on

Add selected video sources.

The Create new layout dialog box is displayed. If you select the Generate new grid for

selected video sources option here, MxControlCenter automatically generates a grid layout that displays windows of the same size for all selected video sources. Give each layout a unique name (for example, underground garage).

If you select the second option, the video sources you selected are simply integrated in the

MxCC system where you can use them to generate a layout at a later time.

Click on

OK to confirm.

3.2.4 First Images And Network Parameter Configuration In MxEasy

Installing And Starting MxEasy

Download the current version of MxEasy from the MOBOTIX website (

www.mobotix.com >

Support > Software Downloads in the MxEasy area). Double-click the shortcut for the program or the program file.

Finding Cameras

When you start MxEasy for the first time on a computer, the MxEasy Assistant automatically begins to search for MOBOTIX cameras and displays all cameras found in a list. The camera list will be updated automatically as soon as new MOBOTIX cameras are connected to, or removed from the network.

Download MxEasy for free from

www.mobotix.com

MxEasy also automatically monitors and displays the operating status of all cameras.

Cameras that are not on the same subnet as the computer will get a differently colored symbol than the cameras that are on the same subnet. Likewise, the cameras that have an unknown password or for which no user name/password combination has been specified in MxEasy will be displayed in a different color. The following section

«Reconfiguring

Network Addresses Of Cameras» contains information about cameras with the status

Invalid network (for example, all new MOBOTIX cameras with factory settings).



110

/140


*Bonjour: automatic recognition of network services in IP networks

Reconfiguring Network Addresses Of Cameras

Using Bonjour*, MxEasy finds not only cameras on the same network as your computer, but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (the

Invalid Network status). In such a case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a different network or subnet (without going into much further detail regarding TCP/IP network configurations).

This is possible, for example, when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in which a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses. MxEasy can automatically configure such a camera so that it is ”integrated” into your existing network.

To do so, you only have to select the affected camera in the list and then click on

Continue.

After a security prompt, a new dialog box for configuring the selected camera is displayed.

If your computer automatically obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, then this is certainly the best choice for that specific camera and most likely for all other cameras that have been found in a different subnet (

Get IP address automatically option).

If you have assigned a static IP address to your computer, you will probably want to assign static IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera (the

Use this

IP address option). Normally, you enter the same configuration used for the network settings of your computer.

When you click on

OK, the selected cameras are automatically reconfigured and they are located in the same subnet as the computer.

Integrating And Displaying Cameras

After a camera has been reconfigured, it has the status

Accessible and can be integrated into MxEasy. The MxEasy Assistant then displays the Define Integration Mode in MxEasy dialog box.




111

/140

Here, you can jump directly to the main window of MxEasy with the current live camera image by activating the option

Quick Start. However, some required detailed configurations may have to be made at a later time (for example, password protection, available bandwidth). For this reason, we recommend activating the option Complete integration and complete the remaining dialog boxes of the MxEasy Assistant until the main window appears.

After you are done with the MxEasy

Assistant, the application’s main window appears and displays the first camera:

3.2.5 Starting The Camera With The Factory IP Address

If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the MOBOTIX camera with DHCP support.

The camera automatically obtains an IP address from the DHCP server and announces the new network data. Please note that this announcement can only be heard if the camera is connected to an external speaker.

1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the corresponding cables and then reconnect the power supply.

2. Wait until both LEDs light up simultaneously for the first time.

3.

Press the R key within the next four seconds and hold it down (if you need to try again, go back to Step 1). Use a suitable device to press a key (a ball-point pen, for example).

Press the “R” key

In case of an error, the camera uses its last IP address

4.

After about 30 to 45 seconds, the camera emits a double sound (”boing boing”).

The camera has finished booting and can now be used (e.g., MxEasy, MxControlCenter,

MOBOTIX App, web browser).

Notes

Starting the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only

temporary. The network configuration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP under

Admin

Menu > Ethernet Interface.

Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address and will use its last IP address.

You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.




3.2.6 Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

Under certain circumstances, you may have to reset the camera to its factory IP address.

This could be the case, for example, if the IP address has been lost or the camera does not respond to the last known IP address. Proceed as follows to start up the camera with its factory IP address:

1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the corresponding cables and then reconnect the power supply.

2. Wait until both LEDs light up simultaneously for the first time.

3.

Press the L key within the next four seconds and hold it down (if you need to try again, go back to Step 1). Use a suitable device to press a key (a ball-point pen, for example).

Press the “L” key

113

/140

4.

After about 30 to 45 seconds, the camera emits a single sound (“boing”).

The camera has finished booting and can now be used (e.g., MxEasy, MxControlCenter,

MOBOTIX App, web browser).

Notes

If you use the camera’s

L key to load the factory network configuration, this configuration is not automatically saved in the camera’s flash memory. When the camera is next rebooted without using the L key, the last stored network configuration will be used. To permanently store the new network configuration in the camera’s flash memory, open

Admin Menu > Store.

As opposed to resetting the camera using

Admin Menu > Reset configuration to

factory defaults, the user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using the factory IP address.

Make sure you store the default network configuration to the permanent flash memory

3.3 Adjusting Lens Focus And Correcting Lens Distortion

3.3.1 Aiming and Adjusting The Lens

Make sure that you see the live image of the camera on the monitor of your computer or laptop. Now adjust the lens mount until you see the desired image area on your monitor:

• Remove the camera dome. Use the supplied plastic foil or a cotton cloth to remove the dome by turning it in a counter-clockwise direction. With IT/Secure models, you may have to remove the outer shell first.

•

Loosen the toothed ring slightly by turning it in a counterclockwise direction using the supplied hook wrench. In addition, loosen the two Allen screws on both sides of the lens mount slightly by turning them in a counter-clockwise direction using the supplied Allen wrench.

Loosen the ring and screws until you are still able to pan and rotate the internal part of the camera with the lens without much force but not so far that the lens is unable to move on its own.

• Now

aim the camera by rotating and panning the lens mount (Note: the MicroSD card slot must point downward for the camera’s live image to be displayed properly). Never use force when adjusting the direction of the camera, as this could damage the camera beyond repair.



Adjusting Lens Focus And Correcting Lens Distortion

• Once the camera has been aimed, tighten the Allen screws at both sides of the lens mount (in a clockwise direction)

and the toothed ring (in a clockwise direction) with the supplied hook wrench. Do not use excessive force when doing so as this may damage the camera.

•

Adjustment: Release the lock ring of the lens and adjust

the image focus by rotating the lens in its socket. Check the image on the computer monitor. Make sure that you tighten the lock ring again once you are finished. To avoid damaging the lens mount, never turn the lens too far or with force.

Caution (only for 160 mm Telephoto lens)

Image Focus: Due to the lens effect of the dome, the focus of the 160 mm Telephoto lens shifts slightly once the dome has been mounted. Before mounting the dome, the Telephoto lens should be rotated by

90°-120° in a counter-clockwise direction

(against the direction in which the lens is screwed). Make sure that you check the focus of the live image with the dome installed and re-adjust the lens, if required.

• Mount the dome. Use the supplied foil or a lint-free cotton cloth to insert the dome into its seat and turn it in a clockwise direction. Once again, check the focus of the camera image on a computer monitor.

If required, gently clean the front of the lens using a soft cotton cloth before installing the dome. Do not apply excessive pressure to the surface of the glass when cleaning the lens.

115

/140

5.

Attach the rubber seal (IT/Secure models only): Place the rubber seal with the groove around the edge of the black mounting ring of the camera.

6. Attach the outer shell (IT/Secure models only): Replace the outer shell and screw all four Allen screws tight using the supplied Allen wrench. Ensure that the rubber seal is properly positioned.



116

/140


3.3.2 Correcting Lens Distortion (L25 Only)

If you are using a D25M with the L25 82° wide-angle lens, the image, particularly the edges, may be slightly distorted due to the extreme angle of the lens.

You can suppress this effect using software (e.g. in the browser) so that a new and appropriately corrected image can be displayed live. A side effect of this correction, however, is that a cushion shape appears around the edges of the image.

To hide this cushion effect, you simply have to zoom in on the image slightly. Although this reduces the size of the captured area, the image is almost distortion-free compared to the original.



Adjusting Lens Focus And Correcting Lens Distortion

Since activated lens distortion correction requires additional processing power, you should consider disabling it in situations where it is not really necessary. You will only notice a minimal distortion of the image, especially if you use the zoom. However, the maximum frames rate for high resolution may be reduced, which means you have to choose between maximum distortion correction or maximum frame rate.

117

/140

Zoom without distortion correction Corrected image (zoom)

We recommend activating lens distortion correction, especially for applications with a low frame rate and non-zoomed images (e.g. when using the D25M as a webcam). However, images can usually be corrected at a later point in time when searching recorded images.

This saves on processing power during recording and increases the frame rate. The more you zoom in on the image, the less distorted the image should appear.

Activate/Deactivate Lens Distortion Correction In The Browser

To activate this option, first specify the lens you are using in the

Admin Menu > Camera

Administration > Lens Configuration dialog (this setting is saved until the camera is reset to its default configuration). Select the L25 (4.0 mm) option from the Lens Type Selection field and then click

Apply followed by Restart.

Now select the Lens Distortion Correction option in the Display Mode Quick Control panel.

An automatically corrected (live) image is displayed that can be panned, tilted or zoomed.

Switching to the

Full Image option will deactivate the automatic distortion correction function.

3.4 Virtual PTZ And Full Image Recording

3.4.1 Preparing The Virtual PTZ Function

The virtual PTZ function allows you to use a mouse or joystick to continuously zoom in on images from the selected video source and "virtually" move the enlarged image section within the entire image sensor area.

USB joystick offers greater ease of use

Operation Using The Mouse And Scroll Wheel

The vPTZ function of the D25M can be controlled in the browser using the mouse. By clicking any position on the image displayed on the monitor, this position becomes the new image center. The image moves and is corrected accordingly. The

scroll wheel can be used to control the zoom function. This functionality is disabled in the default settings of the camera and must therefore first be activated. To do so, go to

Setup Menu > vPTZ

Settings and uncheck the Lock Mouse Wheel Zoom item. Then save the settings by



Virtual PTZ And Full Image Recording

clicking Set and Close. You can now use the scroll wheel to zoom + (roll upwards) or zoom - (roll downwards).

Operation Using USB Joystick

A standard USB joystick can drastically facilitate vPTZ operation for the user – in the browser, in MxEasy and in the MxControlCenter (however, MxCC is also equipped with a virtual joystick that can be operated using the mouse). Please first install the joystick on the PC according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In order to use a USB joystick in the browser, make sure that you have a PC with a Windows operating system and the latest version of Internet Explorer and that the

ActiveX mode

in the camera software (browser) is activated:

• Select Browser in the Quick

Control.

• In the dropdown to the right of to Browser, select the ActiveX option. The USB joystick can then be used until the browser is closed.

• If you want to store this setting permanently, open

Admin

Menu > Language and Start

Page and in Page Options >

Operating Mode, select

ActiveX.

• If you want to store the current settings permanently, click on

Set and Close at the bottom of the dialog and approve storing the settings when prompted.

• The joystick can now be used.

Notes

You will find more information and details on the vPTZ in the Camera Software

Manual Part 2, under «Virtual PTZ», in the MxEasy Manual under «Activating the PTZ

Features» and in the MxControlCenter Manual under «Using the vPTZ Features» and

«PTZ Controls» in the sidebar panel.

The latest versions of all manuals are available at

www.mobotix.com, Support >

Manuals.

3.4.2 Full Image Recording

It is possible to record a

full image, regardless of the live image stream that is being displayed. This ensures that the recording always contains the full image of the lens used, even though the operator may have used the vPTZ features to zoom into the image in order to examine a specific detail.

Live image Stored Full Image Analysis in the stored full image

This means that you can use the vPTZ features in VGA resolution to pan, tilt and zoom the live image while the camera is e.g. recording full images at 1 fps in MEGA or QXGA resolution.

When using

MxEasy or MxControlCenter, the recorded full images may be prepared for the user using vPTZ functions (e.g. panning and zooming in on an image detail such as a doorway).

If

full image storage is not activated, only the last displayed live image will be saved

(save what is seen). The

main benefit of live image storage is to ensure that the full power of the camera processor is used for live image correction and maximum image rates.

The

main advantage of full image storage lies in the special functionality of the D25M, in that it can always maintain availability of a maximum size (full) image for later investigation, despite vPTZ actions carried out on the live image. The mechanical limitations of motor-driven

PTZ cameras mean that they simply

cannot provide this unique advantage to the user!



Virtual PTZ And Full Image Recording

Activate/Deactivate Full Image Recording In The Browser

To configure this feature, open the

Setup Menu > Event Control > Recording dialog and activate or deactivate the

“Full Image Recording” option.

121

/140

Notes

Post-event search in the full image: If you are using Full Image Recording on D25M cameras, you should use at least MEGA resolution when storing. This will facilitate later searches in

MxControlCenter or MxEasy. The advanced distortion correction features require this function to deliver satisfactory image quality.

Full Image Recording On: Due to its increased computing power, full image recording reduces the data rate of the live image stream, which may drop by about 10 to 30 percent. It is therefore recommended to reduce the image rate for storage as much as possible, so as to affect the live image stream as little as possible.

Full Image Recording Off: The event that triggered a video motion (VideoMotion VM) window may not be in the recorded sequences as the window was not displayed at the time.

Flash memory devices: more robust than hard drives

3.5 MicroSD Card Recording

3.5.1 Introduction

Flash-based storage devices (MicroSD cards, USB sticks and solid-state drives) do not contain any moving parts as compared to the commonly used hard drives. Flash-based storage devices are compact and highly resistant to moisture and vibrations. They feature low energy consumption and they do not lose any data in the event of a power failure, meaning that they are ideal for use with MOBOTIX cameras.

Number Of Write/Delete Cycles Per Flash Storage Cell

The number of write/delete cycles of every storage cell of a flash device is limited. The controller of the flash device automatically detects individual flash cells that are no longer functioning. The contents of the faulty cell will then be rebuilt using a checksum and will be moved to a properly working spare cell.

The faulty storage cell will be marked as ”bad” and will no longer be used. No data is lost in this process.

In addition, MOBOTIX cameras constantly monitor activated flash storage devices. MOBOTIX has developed a technology to test the wear of the flash device by logging the number of write/delete cycles (patent pending). The flash memory wear is automatically displayed in the status bar in the live camera image but it can also be viewed at any time in the

Admin Menu > Camera Status dialog box.

Conservative Memory Usage Thanks To MOBOTIX MxFFS File System

MxFFS formatting of the MicroSD card means that MOBOTIX camera software will use the flash device as evenly as possible, thus allowing for the maximum possible number of write/delete cycles. This also means that all storage cells of the flash device will be written and deleted with the same frequency, if possible. MOBOTIX technology increases the life of the flash device considerably and also improves the security and the reliability of the storage process.

Storage Requirements And Life Expectancy Of MicroSD Cards

The life expectancy of a MicroSD card increases proportionally to the storage capacity, since the camera software will execute fewer write/delete cycles on each storage cell.

The first deletion will begin once the SD card has been filled to capacity (first full cycle).

Caution

The MicroSD card’s service life depends on production quality and frequency of use. Set the type of recording (event-controlled or continuous recording, frame rate, resolution) according to your specific requirements.

We recommend changing the pre-installed, high-quality 4 GB MicroSD card once a year if you have it constantly set to continuous recording.

Monitoring The Cell Wear Of Flash Storage Devices (Patent Pending)

MOBOTIX uses its own technology for this purpose and has a pending patent. You can view the flash wear in the status bar of the live image or by opening

Admin Menu > Camera

Status. In addition, the camera can also send a warning message (for example, via e-mail) as soon as a critical error is detected when data is written to the SD card (

Admin Menu >

Error Notification Function.). The MicroSD card can then be replaced to ensure that any existing data is not lost.

3.5.2 Formatting The MicroSD Card

Before a MOBOTIX camera can store image and video sequences on a MicroSD card, the card needs to be formatted as MxFFS (MicroSD cards supplied by MOBOTIX are already

MxFFS-formatted). The following steps are necessary to format a storage device (

3. Note down the characters shown in the

Encryption password field or enter your own password. Next, click OK.

Note: The Secure deletion – Slow option will ensure that any data on the MicroSD card is overwritten completely so that the data cannot be recovered in any way. However, keep in mind that this kind of safe formatting takes considerably more time.

4. In the next dialog box, enter the user name and the password of a user of the

admins group and click OK to confirm.

The MOBOTIX camera now starts formatting the card. It takes 5 to 12 minutes to format an 8 GB MicroSD card if the

Secure deletion – Slow option is disabled. If Secure deletion – Slow is enabled, this may take anywhere between 3 and 14 hours.

Once the formatting has been completed, you can activate the MicroSD card for recording

(see next section).

Caution

Make sure that you always wait until the formatting process has been completed before accessing the camera again. If the

Secure deletion – Slow option is disabled, this usually takes just a few minutes. You can only access the MicroSD card once

MxFFS formatting has been completed.

Formatting with the Secure deletion – Slow option enabled takes several hours. You can also use suitable applications on Windows, Linux/UNIX and Mac OS X systems to repartition and safely erase the MicroSD card.

3.5.3 Activating MicroSD Card Recording

Follow these steps to activate the recording to a MicroSD card that has already been

MxFFS-formatted ( Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device):

1. Make sure that there is a MicroSD card in the card slot of the MOBOTIX camera.

2. Make sure that the MicroSD card is formatted in MxFFS format.

3. Activate the

SD Flash Card option.

4. Click on Set and then Close to store the configuration.

5. Reboot the MOBOTIX camera (

Admin Menu > Reboot Camera).

Once the camera has rebooted, make sure that the camera displays the

FR REC symbols in its live image. If this is the case, the camera uses the MicroSD card as recording target.

If not, you must activate the recording (see below).

Activating The Recording

If the

FR REC symbols are not visible in the live image after rebooting, you need to activate the recording using one of the following methods:

•

In the web browser: Automatic activation by clicking on the Arm & Record softbutton.

Confirm this in the Easy Dialog by clicking on the

Yes button.

• In the web browser: Manual activation via the Quick Control Recording > Recording

on or in Setup Menu > Recording.

•

MxEasy: It is possible to activate the recording based on the time or date using the

Alarm Planner of MxEasy (see MxEasy User Manual).

Encryption And Authentication

All video data stored on the MicroSD card is encrypted to ensure security at all times.

The password for this is defined during the card’s formatting procedure and needs to be entered for authentication whenever the recordings are accessed (see next section).

Activate recording:

Admin Menu >

Storage on External File

Server / Flash Device

/140


3.5.4 Accessing Data on the MicroSD Card

The following options facilitate access to the stored image and video sequences on a

MicroSD card:

•

In the web browser: Play back the recorded event images without audio directly from the MicroSD card using the Playback view of the camera software.

• In MxEasy: Play back the recorded video sequences with audio by accessing the

MicroSD card in the MOBOTIX camera via the camera.

• In MxControlCenter: Play back the recorded video sequences with audio by accessing the MicroSD card in the MOBOTIX camera via the camera or with a direct access to the MicroSD card via a card reader connected to the computer. Access the card by setting the MicroSD card’s drive/volume as a

directory in MxControlCenter.

If the recordings stored on the MicroSD card were encrypted, you need to enter the password used for the encryption before you can access the data. If this is the case, both

MxControlCenter and MxEasy will provide a dialog box for this purpose.

Caution

When

using the MicroSD card from one MOBOTIX camera in another MOBOTIX

camera, you need to make sure that the time on the original camera is in sync with the new camera. We recommend using automatic time synchronization via a time server ( Admin Menu > Date and Time).

3.5.5 Deactivating Card Recording

Follow these steps to deactivate the memory on a MicroSD card (

Admin Menu > Storage

on External File Server / Flash Device):

1. Activate the None option.

2. Click on the

Set button at the bottom of the dialog box and then on Close.

3. Reboot the MOBOTIX camera ( Admin Menu > Reboot Camera).

Once the camera has rebooted, make sure that the symbol

FR REC is no longer visible in the bottom right-hand corner of the live image. You can now safely remove the MicroSD card from the camera (see

Section 2.8, «Replacing The MicroSD Card»).




Caution

A

MicroSD card may only be removed from the camera after you have deacti-

vated the recording to MicroSD card and rebooted the camera.

Failing to do so may lead to data loss!

Removing connected flash storage devices from the camera without properly deactivating them may lead to data loss and/or destroy certain areas of the storage device.

This is limited to 4 MB of lost data per incident due to MxFFS formatting.

3.5.6 Using A MicroSD Card In A Different MOBOTIX Camera

A MicroSD card containing recorded video data from a MOBOTIX camera can be inserted into any MicroSD card-enabled MOBOTIX camera. Once a MicroSD card recording has been activated (requires a reboot), the ”new” MOBOTIX camera automatically synchronizes with the card and resumes recording. No data is lost in this process. Make sure that you deactivate MicroSD card recording before removing the card and then reboot the MOBOTIX camera.

If the MicroSD card’s contents are encrypted, you need to enter the same password in the ”new” camera in the

Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device dialog box. Otherwise, the camera cannot access the MicroSD card.

3.5.7 Limitations On Warranty When Using Flash Storage Media

MOBOTIX will not assume any responsibility for flash storage devices (for example, MicroSD cards or connected USB storage devices) delivered with or integrated into MOBOTIX cameras. The same applies to damage to flash storage devices or damage resulting from the use of devices that are not supplied by MOBOTIX.

3.6 Configuration In The Browser

3.6.1 Overview

A MOBOTIX camera can be completely configured using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems (such as Windows, Linux, Apple, etc.). The camera provides a HTML-based user interface for this purpose. The camera executes the changes you make to the camera configuration via HTTP commands using programs and scripts of the embedded software. The settings are stored in the camera’s flash memory.

This section contains an overview of the basic browser settings of the MOBOTIX camera as well as further configuration options. Detailed information on the software functions is provided in the camera’s online help.



Configuration In The Browser

129

/140

Basic Settings

•

Administering the camera: You can modify the camera configuration in the Admin

Menu or the Setup Menu.

–

Admin Menu: This menu contains the basic configuration dialog boxes of the camera (for example, passwords, interfaces, software updates).

– Setup Menu: This menu contains the dialog boxes for configuring the image, event and recording parameters. Some of these settings can be changed using the corresponding Quick Controls in the live view.

• Resetting changes: If you would like to reset some larger changes in one dialog box without resetting the complete configuration, you can use the

Default button at the bottom of the dialog box to reset only this dialog box’s settings to the factory defaults. If you would like to reset all image settings, you can do so using the

Manage

Settings > Restore Image Settings Quick Control in the live image of the camera.

•

Storing changes permanently: Once you have finished configuring the camera, you should always store the settings in the camera’s permanent memory. You can do so in each dialog box (clicking on the

Set button at the bottom of each dialog box will temporarily implement the change; when you click

Close, you will be asked to store the complete configuration in the camera’s permanent memory) or in the

Admin Menu (

Admin Menu > Store current configuration into flash memory).

The

Configuration section of the Admin Menu provides more functions for storing, copying and managing camera settings. For more information on this topic, refer to the online help for the specific dialog boxes.

•

Time tasks and time synchronization: Apart from a multitude of possibilities for controlling the camera using time (time tables, holiday and vacation, scheduled tasks, etc.), the camera can also synchronize its internal clock. This allows you to manually synchronize the camera with a computer or automatically using a time server or another MOBOTIX camera. The camera can use either NTP time servers or Time Protocol servers. For more information on this topic, refer to the online help for the specific dialog boxes.

• The “More” and “Less” buttons: When opening some of the camera dialog boxes, the camera only shows the most important parameters. These dialog boxes have a

More button in the bottom right-hand corner. Click it to display additional options.

If all options are displayed, click on the Less button to hide the additional options.

User name: admin password: meinsm

3.6.2 General Browser Settings

•

Run the Quick Installation: After booting a new MOBOTIX camera, accessing the administration menu for the first time will automatically start the Quick Installation assistant ( Admin Menu button). The Quick Installation assistant helps you in setting the most important parameters of the camera. For security reasons, you should set your own administrator password and disable public access to the camera.

•

Disable public access: Guest users are only allowed to access the Guest screen of the camera without entering a password. If this is not required, you should deactivate public access ( Admin Menu > Quick Installation or Admin Menu > Users

and Passwords).

•

Add users and assign access rights: Similar to a computer operating system, you can add users and user groups and assign the desired rights (

Admin Menu > Users

and Passwords, Admin Menu > Group Access Control Lists (ACL)). This approach allows individual access rights to be assigned or denied to camera-specific features based on the user groups.

• Deactivate the automatic reboot: In its factory state, every MOBOTIX camera will automatically reboot at 3:36 a.m. every day. All images in the camera’s storage buffer will be deleted during this reboot. Images stored on external file servers, internal flash storage, or SD cards will NOT be affected by this reboot. Make sure that you deactivate the automatic reboot if this is not desired (

Admin Menu > Time Tasks).

• Optimize the image settings: The factory image settings of MOBOTIX cameras deliver excellent images for most application scenarios and should therefore not be changed. If you do wish to make changes, your changes should be minor and gradual. You should, however, set an image program according to the application scenario of the camera. Image programs provide a quick and simple method for adjusting the camera to the application scenario as they perform several configuration steps at once (

Image Programs Quick Control).

• Set the resolution of the live image: By default, all MOBOTIX cameras are factoryset to an image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. You can select the desired resolution using the

Resolution Quick Control.

• Adjust the exposure: The automatic exposure control of the MOBOTIX camera uses individually configurable exposure windows to determine the best image exposure.

Open the

Exposure Control Quick Control and select a predefined set of exposure windows. If required, you can also define custom exposure windows (

Setup Menu >

Exposure Settings).

•

Activate event control and recording: By default, the MOBOTIX camera’s event control is disabled. Click on the Arm & Record button to activate event control. This will activate motion detection and recording. Cameras with integrated flash memory

(MOBOTIX R models and models with an SD card) will automatically use the flash memory to store image and video data (recording target). If desired, you can set additional events and adjust the settings of the recording and storage parameters

(

Setup Menu > Event Settings, Setup Menu > Recording and Admin Menu >

Recording to External File Server / Flash Device).



Configuration In The Browser

• Set up actions/messaging: Upon detecting an event, the MOBOTIX camera can trigger alarms. These alarms can be adjusted to your needs and you can assign them to a specific event: playing back an alarm sound on the camera speaker, showing the visual alarm in the camera live image, sending an e-mail or network message with the alarm image, placing a phone call, uploading an alarm image to an FTP server, switching a signal output line of the camera (for example, for switching on the lights/opening a door).

For the settings, see

Setup Menu > Action Group Overview. The actions to be performed are defined and used in these action groups in the form of “action profiles.”

The different action profiles can also be defined in the following areas: Admin Menu in the Hardware Configuration (profiles for signal output), Transfer Profiles (FTP, e-mail, network messages) and Sound and VoIP Telephony (sound profiles, VoIP profiles). For more information, refer to the online help for the Action Group Overview dialog box.

•

Activate shock detector: The D25M is also equipped with a shock detector as standard (for all IT and Secure models). If, for example, the camera’s housing receives a blow, it automatically registers it and sends a notification via a network message or telephone call. A general advantage is that MOBOTIX cameras are extremely tough because of the absence of mechanical moving parts. This allows them to stay fully operational when they are subject to strong vibrations. Open the

Setup Menu >

Event Control > Environment Events > Edit dialog box if you would like to activate the shock detector (and any other sensors).

3.7 Additional Notes

3.7.1 Weatherproof Qualities

The MOBOTIX D25M IT/Secure models have been certified weatherproof according to IP65

(absolutely dust-proof and resistant to water jets) and can also be wall-mounted outdoors.

The MOBOTIX D25M Basic has attained a protection class of IP54.

3.7.2 Password For The Administration Menu

Accessing the administration menu of the camera (Admin Menu button) is only possible after entering a user name and password.

• Factory default user name is

admin

• Factory default password is

meinsm

The Quick Installation assistant automatically appears when the administration menu is accessed for the first time. It provides an easy method to adjust the basic camera settings to the current application scenario. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the default administrator password after the camera has been properly configured.

Enter the user name and password exactly as shown above. Note that all entries are case-sensitive.

Caution

Make sure that you store information on user names and passwords in a secure place. If you lose the administrator password and cannot access the Administration menu, the password can only be reset at the factory. This service is subject to a service charge!

The microphone can be irreversibly deactivated!

3.7.3 Permanently Deactivating The Microphone

Deactivating a camera’s microphone may be necessary in order to protect the privacy of persons at a workplace or for other reasons. You can permanently and irreversibly deactivate the microphone in the

Admin Menu > Loudspeaker and Microphone dialog box.

3.7.4 Starting The Camera With The Factory IP Address

If the camera’s IP address is not known, you can start the camera with its factory IP address.

Section 3.2.5, «Starting The Camera With The Factory IP Address» describes this

procedure in more detail.



Additional Notes

133

/140

3.7.5 Resetting The Camera To Factory Settings

All settings of the MOBOTIX camera can be permanently reset to the factory default settings.

This makes sense if, for example, you have obtained a camera without any information or you would like to reset all settings after testing the camera. In order to perform this procedure, you need to have access to the administration area of the camera (admins group). Open Admin Menu > Reset to reset the camera to factory defaults.

Note

All defined users are deleted and the admin password is reset to the factory default when you reset the camera using Admin Menu > Reset. If you want to maintain the existing users, use the method described in

Section 3.2.5, «Starting The Camera With

The Factory IP Address».

3.7.6 Activating Event Control And Motion Detection

In its default configuration, the camera’s event control and video motion detection features are not enabled. In order to activate event-controlled recording, open

Setup Menu >

General Event Settings and activate the Arming switch. Another method is to click on the

Arm & Record softbutton in the browser’s user interface. The camera displays the motion detection window in the live image (dotted frame in the center) and the camera automatically stores images as soon as the motion detection window detects movements.

3.7.7 Deactivating Text And Logo Options

As camera arming is deactivated in the camera’s default configuration (see preceding section), the MOBOTIX camera only displays the text

www.mobotix.com, the time stamp and the MOBOTIX logo at the top of the image. Once the camera arming has been activated, the text at the bottom of the live image (event, action, messaging and recording symbols) will also appear.

You can deactivate the status bar at the bottom of the live image and the text bar in the top left-hand corner by setting Text Display in the

Setup Menu > Text & Display Settings dialog box to Off. Setting Text Display to Date and Time will only display the time stamp in the live image. To hide the logo in the live image, open

Admin Menu > Logo Profiles and set

Logo Display to Deactivated.

3.7.8 Deactivating The Camera Reboot

By factory default, the MOBOTIX camera automatically reboots once a week between

3 a.m. and 4 a.m. The reason for this is that in some rare cases, external influences (for example, radiation at high altitudes) can sometimes lead to camera malfunctions. The automatic reboot will refresh the camera’s memory and will ensure proper operation without requiring any interaction on the part of the user. If desired, you can deactivate the automatic reboot of the camera in the

Admin Menu > Time Tasks dialog box.

You can reset specific parts of the configuration

If the dotted rectangle in the live image is visible, the camera is armed

Text and logos can be also deactivated or individually configured

§

3.7.9 Browser

Current Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, etc.) with enabled JavaScript can display the camera’s live images with their standard settings.

3.7.10 Cleaning The Camera And Lens

If the lens becomes dirty during the installation process, clean the lens using a lint-free cotton cloth. Make sure that the lens is still in focus after cleaning and adjust its focus if required.

Cleaning The Dome:

• In order to protect the dome from being scratched and from getting dirty, only handle the dome using a soft cotton cloth or the protective plastic of the camera's shipping box.

• You should clean the dome at regular intervals. Always use a soft, lint-free cotton cloth for this purpose.

• If the dirt is more persistent, add a mild alcohol-free detergent without abrasive particles.

• Make sure you instruct cleaning personnel on how to clean the camera.

3.7.11 Legal Notes

Legal aspects of video and sound recording: You must comply with all data protection regulations for video and sound monitoring when using MOBOTIX products. Depending on national laws and the installation location of the D25M, the recording of video and sound data may be subject to special documentation or it may be prohibited. All users of

MOBOTIX products are therefore required to familiarize themselves with all valid regulations and comply with these laws. MOBOTIX AG is not liable for any illegal use of its products.

3.7.12 Safety Warnings

Installation Instructions:

• This product must not be used in locations exposed to the dangers of explosion.

• Make sure to install this product as shown in

Chapter 2, «Installation» of this manual.

Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may only be installed, modified and maintained by a qualified electrician or under the direction and supervision of a qualified electrician in accordance with the applicable electrical guidelines. Make sure to properly set up all electrical connections.




Electrical surges: MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of small electrical surges by numerous measures. These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur. Special care should be taken when installing the camera outside of buildings to ensure proper protection against

light-

ning, since this also protects the building and the whole network infrastructure.

Max. power consumption of attached extension modules: The power consumption of all attached MxBus modules must not exceed 2.5 W. When attaching modules to the

MxBus connector

and the USB connector, the power consumption of all attached mod-

ules must not exceed 3 W,

if the camera is powered by PoE class 3

. If

PoE class 2

is used,

the power consumption of all attached modules must not exceed 1 W!

Never touch the lens: Due to the high performance of the D25M, the area of the image sensor can get quite hot, especially when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not affect the proper functioning of the camera in any way. For this reason, the product must not be installed within the reach of persons without the dome.

Only exchange sensor module when powered off: Make sure the power supply to the camera is disconnected before installing or replacing sensor modules.

Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the necessary configuration options for operation in Ethernet networks in compliance with data protection laws. The operator is responsible for the data protection concept across the entire system. The basic settings required to prevent misuse can be configured in the software and are password-protected.

This prevents unauthorized parties from accessing these settings.
