SAFETY WARNINGS
Notes on Installing:
• This product must not be used in locations exposed to the dangers of explosion.
• Make sure that you install this product as outlined in Chapter 2, «Installation»
of this manual. A faulty installation can damage the camera!
• When installing this product, make sure that you are only using genuine MOBOTIX parts and MOBOTIX connection cables.
• Only install this product on suitable, solid materials that provide for a sturdy installation of the fixing elements used.
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 lightning , 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 3 W. When attaching modules to the MxBus connector and the USB socket, the power consumption of all attached modules must
not exceed 4 W, if the camera is powered by PoE class 3. If PoE class 2 is used, the cam- era cannot power any peripheral devices!
Never touch the lenses: Due to the high performance of the D16, the area of the image sensors 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.
Power off before opening the camera: Make sure the power supply to the camera is disconnected before opening the camera housing (e.g., when inserting or exchanging lenses, sensor modules and SD cards).

D16 Camera Manual
FOREWORD
Dear MOBOTIX customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of the latest generation of the successful MOBOTIX
DualDome cameras. The D16 is a high-resolution, weatherproof network camera “Made in Germany”. The D16 can capture two different areas at once in great detail, thanks to its two lenses with sensor assembly and optimized sensor technology.
As opposed to conventional solutions, MOBOTIX cameras with their decentralized approach offer so much more. Besides two HiRes image sensors, the D16 features integrated environment sensors (e.g., PIR, external temperature, video motion detector), speaker and microphone for video intercom connections that are using the SIP standard, a long-term flash-based storage unit and free-of-charge video management software.
The introduction of the newest sensor technology with increased light sensitivity in combination with the new HD Premium lenses (aperture f/1.8) not only generates more brilliant images with up to 3072x2048 (6MP image sensor), it also delivers color images of higher quality under lowlight conditions.
The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces allow for direct connection of MOBOTIX interface boxes and storage devices. The pre-installed microSD card can be exchanged easily to provide more storage capacity and provides sufficient space for long-term recordings.
You can download the MxManagementCenter video management software for MOBOTIX cameras from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com
> Support > Download Center >
Software Downloads . The tutorial for the application is available from Support > Download
Center > Documentation > Brochures & Guides > Tutorials .
For iPad, iPhone, and Android devices, MOBOTIX offers the MOBOTIX MxBell , a free-of-charge mobile solution that is easily found when searching for “MOBOTIX AG” in the App Store or on Google Play.
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 D16 DualDome!

• Use the correct screws to mount the camera housing to the wall or ceiling.
Preventing Condensation
When installing the camera, make sure that the PIR sensor is pointing downwards to allow condensation to flow freely through the openings in the outer shell
(see diagram).
The Outdoor Wall Mount may have to be used, as the
PIR sensor can be turned in any direction when installed horizontally (PIR is tilted diagonally downwards).
30
Overview of Mounting Options
Special Case: D16-Panorama/180° Mounted to a Wall without the Wall Mount
The lens mount unit has to be rotated by 180° so that you do not get an upside down panorama image. For further information, see the end of
Section 2.3.1, «Mounting Sensor Modules» .
Note
Make sure that the camera is always mounted on a smooth surface. Otherwise, the sealing lip on the underside of the housing will not be able to close tightly or will bend upwards, which leads to leaks between the outer shell and the housing.
2.1.2 Outdoor Installation on a Wall, Pole or Corner (with Accessories)
The associated Outdoor Wall Mount can be used to mount the D16 outdoors. The camera is then compliant with the IP65 protection class (fully dustproof and resistant to water jets).
Ambient temperatures may vary between –40 to 60 °C/–40 to 140 °F, making it the ideal camera for the most demanding weather situations. The drill holes must be prepared for the installation. Use the supplied drilling template to mark the position of the holes for the fixtures and the holes through which the cables will be led later on (fold-out).
If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX D16 to the corner of a building or to a pole, you should consider using the MOBOTIX Corner And Pole Mount . This mount can only be used together with the Outdoor Wall Mount. The supplied stainless steel straps allow the mount to be attached to poles with diameters between 60 and 180 mm .

The D16 supports the
Power-over-Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af (PoE)
2.2 Network Connections Overview
2.2.1 Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE Conforming to IEEE 802.3af)
All D16 models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set (MX-NPA-
PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, we recommend investing in a PoE-capable supply device available on the market. For detailed information on power
supply options and on connecting the D16 camera, please see Section 2.7.1, «Notes on Cable
and the following sections.
PoE Adapter
MX-NPA-PoE
The PoE adapter replaces the crossover cable when directly connecting to a computer

CAMERA
For the D16, use the blue
MX-NPA-PoE-Set – previous
MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA-
Set, Power-Box and Power-
Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D16
Caution
The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is 100 m .
Previous MOBOTIX network power accessories such as the NPA-Set, Power-Box and
Power-Rack (MX-NPA-Set, MX-NPR-4 and MX-NPR8/20) are not suitable for use with the D16.
Note
The MOBOTIX D16 can also be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE
(Power-over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.
Advantages of PoE power supply:
• Centralized backup power supply available via network
• Lower, more cost-effective power consumption
• Camera does not require an additional network connection
32
Network Connections Overview
2.2.2 Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
In order to maintain a continuous power supply even when utility power fails, you should install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices also provide full protection against electrical surges and voltage fluctuations and thus enhance 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 five watts is comparatively 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 plus Universal Power Supply) or with PoE-compliant switches according to
IEEE 802.3af.

D16 Camera Manual: Installation
2.2.4 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.
A range of measures are used to protect MOBOTIX cameras against the effects of small electrical surges. 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 its cameras installed only by certified specialists who are used to installing and operating network devices safely and who are familiar with the applicable regulations regarding lightning and fire prevention as well as the current technology for preventing damage from electrical surges.
Wiring
When installing the wiring, make sure to follow these guidelines:
• Data cable : Make sure you only use double-shielded Cat 5 or higher cables ( 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.
• Wire lengths : The cable segments must not exceed the maximum allowed cable lengths in order to ensure proper data transfer.
• 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 countryspecific regulations (for example, VDE in Germany, IEEE in the U.S.) in effect on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.

2.6 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 lenses one by one until you see the desired image area on your monitor:
• Remove the camera dome using a lint-free cotton cloth.
• Adjust the image sharpness by turning the lens. Never turn the lens too far or with force to avoid damaging the lens mount.
• Mount the dome again using a soft cotton cloth.
Notes
The focusing aid provides a visual aid when setting the image sharpness of a MOBOTIX camera lens (see the The Focusing Aid Of The Camera section on the The Live View Of
The MOBOTIX Camera page in the camera online help).
Image focus: Due to the lens effect of the dome, the focus of the 135 mm telephoto lens shifts slightly once the dome has been mounted. Before mounting the dome, rotate the telephoto lens by about 90° in a counterclockwise 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 readjust the lens, if required.
90°
For technical reasons, it is recommended not to align the telephoto lens horizontally due to the image distortions that occur in the top part of the dome.

Network and Power Connection
2.7 Network and Power Connection
2.7.1 Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply
• Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. We recommend using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or other similar high-quality PoE product to loop-in the power supply:
– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)
– Multiple cameras: with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)
• 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 the LED activity of the corresponding port at the switch or router.
• We highly recommend using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup power.
• If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (“PoE+”) Power-over-Ethernet network components to supply power to your MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that these components do not have a fan. As 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 the components.
2.7.2 Power Supply with Power-Over-Ethernet Products
Connect the factory pre-installed cable of the camera to the Ethernet connector of the PoE switch/router. The switch/router must support the IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (“PoE+”)
PoE standard as a minimum.

Variable PoE: Multiple cameras can be operated simultaneously from the same switch
2.7.5 Variable PoE
The power consumption of the camera depends on the functions in use as well as any peripheral devices connected (see table). PoE classes 1, 2 or 3 may be selected in the browser-based user interface in order to optimally adjust the camera to your system design (PoE switch in use, emergency power concept, etc.).
PoE Power Level Classes (IEEE 802.3af Standard)
Class Max. power consumption
1 0.44 W–3.84 W
Camera operating mode and peripheral devices
LowPower mode; no peripheral devices (available soon)
2 3.84 W–6.49 W
3 6.49 W–12.95 W
Normal mode; max. 1 W for MxBus peripheral devices
Full power mode; max. 2.5 W for MxBus peripheral devices (for example, MX-GPS-Box and MX-232-IO-Box to MxBus), max. 4 W for peripheral devices to MxBus and USB interface
Caution
If the total power consumption of the camera and peripheral devices exceeds the power provided by the PoE switch for the specified class, the switch can disconnect the camera from the power supply. In this case, the camera will only be accessible again once the peripheral devices have been disconnected from the camera and the camera has been restarted.
The default setting is usually fine, and nothing needs to be changed. However, the PoE power class must be changed in the browser if a higher or a lower power class is required for your application:
1. Select Admin Menu > Network Setup >
Ethernet Interface (for experts).
2. Click on Change under Power Supply.
3. A Power Wizard will appear to guide you through the PoE configuration steps.
4. Next, restart the camera: Disconnect the camera from the power supply.

3 OPERATING THE CAMERA
3.1 Manual and Automatic Operation – Overview
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any extra software. Thus, you can set up and operate the
MOBOTIX camera using a JavaScript-enabled browser on all common operating systems
(such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.). As an alternative, you can also use the MOBOTIX application MxManagementCenter. Follow these steps to set up the camera:
1. Connect the camera to the network.
Power is supplied directly via the Ethernet cable (see Section 2.4, «Network and Power
Connection, Additional Cables» )
2. Establish a connection to the camera and adjust the network settings, if required.
By factory default, MOBOTIX cameras are booting as DHCP client with an additional fixed
IP address in the 10.x.x.x
range (e.g., 10.16.0.128
). Local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. Depending on whether a DHCP server is present on the local network (e.g., a DSL router) or if the network has been set up to use fixed IP addresses, there are several possibilities for establishing a connection to the camera and to change its network parameters:
• Network with DHCP server
– Using a browser:
If you know the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the camera, simply enter that address in the browser address bar to directly connect to the camera
(see Section 3.2.2, «First Images and the Most Important Settings in the Browser»
).
– Using MxManagementCenter:
With MxManagementCenter, you can show and integrate the camera without having to know its current IP address (see
Section 3.2.3, «First Images and Network
Parameter Configuration in MxMC» ).
62
Manual and Automatic Operation – Overview
• Network with fixed IP addresses
In order to access the camera, it must have an IP address within the range of the local network. To set the camera’s network parameters, you can use one of these methods:
– Manually using a browser:
First, you need to change the network parameters of your computer (see
«First Images and the Most Important Settings in the Browser»
and following …).
– Integration into MxManagementCenter with automatic adjustment of the camera’s
IP address:
The camera is displayed in MxManagementCenter despite the fact that the IP address is not part of the local network. The application allows reconfiguring the network
parameters accordingly (see Section 3.2.3, «First Images and Network Parameter
).
3. Configure the camera.
Using the web-based user interface or MxManagementCenter.

D16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
Pressing the “L” key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address on the camera speaker (see the figure in
3.2 First Images and the Most Important Settings
Once the MOBOTIX camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the camera’s network interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the network parameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x
range with a 255.0.0.0
network mask, you do not need to change the camera’s network
parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2
). If your network or computer
does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, in the 192 or 172 ranges), you should follow one of the following methods for changing the camera’s network parameters:
•
Manual setup ( Section 3.2.1, «Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser»
)
• Automatic setup using MxManagementCenter (see
Section 3.2.3, «First Images and
Network Parameter Configuration in MxMC»

D16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
Reconfiguring Network Addresses of Cameras
Using Bonjour*, MxManagementCenter finds not only cameras on the same network as your computer, but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status: ). In such a case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a different network or subnet.
This is the case, for example, if you are integrating cameras into a network without DHCP server (i.e., with fixed IP addresses) and the IP address range is different from the 10.x.x.x range supported by the cameras in addition to DHCP.
MxManagementCenter can automatically configure such a camera so that it is ”integrated” into your existing network. To do so, you have to select the respective camera and then click on the button at the bottom of the program window.
The Network Setting dialog opens.
If you have assigned a fixed IP address to your computer, you will certainly prefer to assign fixed IP addresses to the cameras. To do so, enter the IP address and the subnet mask. The
IP address is incremented automatically for each selected camera.
When you click on Apply, the selected cameras are automatically reconfigured and they are located in the same subnet as the computer.

First Images and the Most Important Settings
Starting the Camera with Factory Default (Network) Settings
If you use the camera’s start option 2 to load the factory configuration, this configuration is not automatically saved in the camera’s flash memory. When the camera is next rebooted without using start option 2, the last stored configuration will be used. To permanently store the new configuration in the camera’s flash memory, open Admin
Menu > Store. Note that you can restore specific parts of the camera configuration afterwards by using “Restore” to re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
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 settings.
Make sure you store the default network configuration to the permanent flash memory
Starting the Camera with an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
Starting the camera using start option 3 and an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only temporary . The network configuration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP
(factory setting) 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.
Tip: Briefly pressing the key of the camera will announce the current IP address via the speaker.
In case of an error, the camera uses its last IP address

Operation Using the Mouse and Scroll Wheel
The vPTZ function of the D16 can be controlled in the browser using the mouse. This position becomes the new image center by clicking on any position on the image displayed on the monitor. The image moves accordingly and the image distortion is automatically corrected.
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 this, go to
Setup Menu > vPTZ Settings, disable Lock Mouse Wheel Zoom , click on Set and then on
Close to save your settings. You can now use the scroll wheel to zoom + (roll upwards) or zoom – (roll downwards).
Virtual PTZ and Full Image Recording
Operation Using a USB Joystick
A standard USB joystick can drastically improve vPTZ operation for the user – in the browser and in MxManagementCenter. 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

D16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
3.3.2 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:
Original camera image without distortion or image correction
Stored full image Analysis in stored full image
This means that you can use the vPTZ features in VGA resolution to pan, tilt and zoom in the live image while the camera is, for example, recording full images at 1 fps in MEGA or
QXGA resolution.
In MxManagementCenter , the recorded full images may be prepared for the user with the vPTZ functions (for example, panning and zooming in on an image detail such as a doorway).
If full image recording 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 frame rates. The main advantage of full image recording lies in the special functionality of the D16, 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!
Notes
Post-event search in the full image: If you are using full image recording on D16 cameras, you should use at least MEGA resolution when storing. This will facilitate later searches in MxManagementCenter . The advanced distortion correction features require this function to deliver satisfactory image quality.
Full image recording on: Due to the increased processing time, full image recording reduces the data rate of the live image stream, which may drop by around 10 to 30 percent. We therefore recommend reducing the frame rate for storage as much as possible 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 while the window was not displayed at the time.

3.4 Image Optimization
3.4.1 Correction of Lens Distortion (B036 and B041 Only)
If you are using a camera with either the B036 or B041 wide-angle lenses , the image, particularly around the edges, may be slightly distorted due to the extreme angle of view of the lenses.
You can suppress this effect using software
(for example, 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.
78
Image Optimization
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 frame rate for high resolution may be reduced (by 10 to 25 percent), which means you have to choose between maximum distortion correction or maximum frame rate.
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 (for example, when using 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 that you are using in the Admin Menu > Hardware
Configuration > Lens Configuration dialog box (this setting is saved until the camera is reset to its factory settings). In the the Lens Type Selection field, select B036 (3.6 mm) or B041
(4.0 mm) , respectively, then click on Apply and Reboot the camera.
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.

3.4.2 Adjusting the Panorama Image (D16-Panorama/180° Only)
The D16-Panorama/180° with integrated panorama feature has two wide-angle lenses B036*
(103°) that are mounted on a sensor bridge in such a way that they produce a panorama image. Due to tiny differences in the lens position, the images of the two lenses do not always fit perfectly.
Note
Make sure that the camera is not tilted too far down to ensure that you get a good panorama image. The image area that is most interesting for the viewer should be in the center of the image so that the camera creates an image that is as close to reality as possible.
Adjusting the Panorama Image in the Web Browser
You need to follow these extra steps when installing a D16-Panorama/180° to create a good combined image from the two single images (left and right image sensor).
Step 1: Activate the configuration for the panorama view
Open the user interface of the camera in the browser. Click on the Configuration For The Panorama
View Quick Control above the live image and set the value in the field to the right to Activate .
Step 2: Image adjustment using the OnScreen control
As soon as you click the live image of the camera, an OnScreen Control appears in the top left corner of the live camera image. Using these elements, you can adjust the two individual sensor images to form the desired panorama image. This requires a resolution of at least VGA. If your currently set resolution is less than VGA, the camera automatically switches to VGA mode to carry out the adjustment and it returns to the original resolution after the OnScreen Control is hidden again.
80
Image Optimization
Using the OnScreen Control:
Horizontal image panning
Vertical image panning
Image sensor selection
Zoom
Rotate
Select image sensor : The two rectangular checkboxes in the top right corner display which sensor image is currently selected and can be configured. You can change the selection by repeatedly clicking the checkbox symbol:
• Both sensor images selected
• Only left sensor image selected
• Only right sensor image selected
Zoom in on image(s): You can change the zoom factor by clicking the respective magnifying glass symbol in the range. The effect is greater the further you click from the center of the range. You should be able to zoom until, on the one hand, the cushion-shaped borders caused by the distortion correction disappear ( ZOOM + ) and on the other hand, the objects in the vertical center of the image are visible ( ZOOM ).
Move image(s) vertically: You can move the selected sensor image up or down by clicking on the arrows pointing upwards and downwards in the range. The effect is greater the further you click from the center of the range.
Move image(s) horizontally: You can move the selected sensor image to the left or right by clicking the arrows pointing left and right in the range. If both sensor images are selected simultaneously, they can be moved away from one another by clicking the left side of the range and towards one another by clicking the right side of the range.
Rotate image(s): You can rotate the sensor images to the left or right individually or together synchronously by clicking the edges of the rectangles on the bottom of the range. This way, you can correct any offset in the lens mounts.
Clicking the central point of the dial resets the image to the corresponding factory default settings
81

3.4.3 Dual Image Exposure
In general, the exposure settings for the D16 are determined automatically or manually. In any case, exposure is set separately for each image sensor using customizable exposure windows. You can either select a pre-defined set of exposure windows (using the Exposure
Control quick control) or define a custom exposure window (in Setup Menu > Exposure
Settings ) in the web browser.
In order to create an evenly lit, harmonious dual image, a D16-Panorama/180° (with two individual images combined into a panorama image) uses both image sensors for exposure measurement. The camera determines the best average exposure value for the combined panorama image and automatically applies this value.
Without coupled exposure control
With coupled exposure control (dual image exposure)
This function can also be activated for any D16 ( Linked Image Control option). It ensures that both camera images in the combined dual image appear equally bright so that it is easier for the observer to associate these images with the same camera and/or the same mounting location.
To activate this feature in the web browser, open Setup Menu > Exposure Settings and activate the Linked Image Control option. Then save your settings by clicking on Set and then Close .

3.5 MicroSD Card Recording
Flash memory devices: more robust than hard drives
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).
MicroSD Card Whitelist for MOBOTIX Cameras
MicroSD cards are available in many different quality levels. When recording video data, the most important criteria are the write speed (speed class) and the life expectancy of the storage cells that is directly dependent on the type of storage cell used. The document “MicroSD
Card Whitelist for MOBOTIX Cameras” on www.mobotix.com
, Support > Documentation >
White Lists > MicroSD Cards contains a list of MicroSD cards that have been tested with
MOBOTIX cameras.

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 MicroSD card once a year if you have it constantly set to continuous recording.
All specifications are based on calculated averages
Monitoring The Cell Wear Of Flash Storage Devices
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.
85
D16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
Format SD card:
Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server
/ Flash Device
The Secure deletion –
Slow option takes several hours. You can also use suitable applications on
Windows, Linux/UNIX and
Mac OS X/macOS systems to repartition and safely erase the SD card.
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 MxFFSformatted). The following steps are necessary to format a storage device ( 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. Click Format in the SD Memory Card line.
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/macOS systems to repartition and safely erase the MicroSD card.
86
MicroSD Card Recording
3.5.3 Activating Recording
Follow these steps to activate the recording to a MicroSD card that has already been MxFFSformatted ( 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).
Activate recording: Admin
Menu >
Storage on External File
Server / Flash Device
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.
• Manual activation via the Quick Control Recording > Recording on or in Setup Menu >
Recording.
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).
87
D16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
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 MxManagementCenter: 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 (coming soon).
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 2.2.9, «Replacing the MicroSD Card» ).
Caution
A MicroSD card may only be removed from the camera after you have deactivated 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.
88
MicroSD Card Recording
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 of the D16 in the Browser
90
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 of the D16 in the Browser
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.

D16 Camera Manual: Operating the Camera
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 factory-set 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).
• 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
92
Configuration of the D16 in the Browser
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 D16 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 Password for the Admin Menu
Accessing the Admin Menu of the camera ( Admin Menu softbutton) is only possible after entering a user name and password.
• Factory default user name is admin.
• Factory default password is meinsm.
(Note that you need to change the password upon your first login – camera release V5.1.x and higher.)
The Quick Installation assistant automatically appears when the Admin 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, we highly recommend changing 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 fee!
The microphone can be irreversibly deactivated!
3.7.2 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.
Caution
This deactivation occurs in the camera module itself and cannot be reversed , even at the factory. Deactivating the microphone will also deactivate all functions that are making use of the microphone.

Additional Notes
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. Use start option 3 as described in
Section 3.2.4, «Start Options of the Camera» , if you
do not want to delete the existing users.
3.7.4 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.
3.7.5 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 .
3.7.6 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.
3.7.7 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.
If the dotted rectangle in the live image is visible, the camera is armed
Text and logos can be also deactivated or individually configured
