We now carry the full line of Mobotix Megapixel IP Cameras. This means we can cover more for you for less while giving you a recorded image that has over 30 times the resolution of traditional cameras.
Why Use High-Resolution Systems?
The higher the resolution, the more details are in an image. Using traditional (analog) technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels and a recorded image only has 0.1 megapixels (CIF). On the contrary, a Mobotix camera with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image areas with up to 360° panorama are possible, thus reducing the number of cameras and therefore the costs. For example, four lanes of a gas station can be recorded using one Mobotix camera instead of four conventional cameras.

An Idea That Is Revolutionizing CCTV Video Technology
When Mobotix developed the first weatherproof web cam with digital image sensors and an integrated PC back in 1999, no one could ever have imagined the impact this would have on the future of video surveillance. The transmission of video streams over computer networks finally enabled video technology to depart from the restrictions of a TV standard which had applied for 60 years, bringing it in line with the megapixel image quality of modern-day digital cameras. Mobotix is the only network camera manufacturer to date that is capable of storing smooth, high-resolution video streams with 1536 lines instead of the usual 288, including sound. The new technology isn’t just more powerful in all areas, it also has two decisive advantages: it is more cost-effective than traditional CCTV video technology and more multi-functional thanks to its integrated computer and network connection.
High Resolution Shows More Detail And Reduces Costs
The primary benefit of using high-resolution cameras is that the stored images are more revealing and provide stronger evidence than other formats. Mobotix cameras record approximately 30 times more detail than 95% of all existing video systems worldwide. In virtually all applications, one Mobotix camera can replace several standard CCTV systems because Mobotix technology offers four times more coverage. For example, at the World Cup soccer stadium in Kaiserslautern, a single Mobotix camera monitors four turnstiles at the same time. Even an entire room can be monitored with one 90° wide-angle lens camera positioned in a corner of a room. The high-detail resolution not only means fewer cameras, but it also reduces the amount of cabling, backup-power requirement and storage systems, thus minimizing the overall costs of the system substantially.
NO TAPES! NO HASSLES! NO PROBLEMS!
The Decentralized Mobotix Concept
Unlike other systems, the decentralized Mobotix concept incorporates a high-speed computer and, if necessary, a digital memory (SD) card for long-term recording in every camera. The PC is now used only for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, Mobotix cameras can record events even without a running PC and digitally record videos with sound for archiving purposes.
The Benefits
Mobotix video solutions therefore require significantly:
- fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of wide-angle images with megapixel technology,
- fewer PCs/DVRs, because around 40 cameras can store high-resolution video with sound efficiently on a single PC, or no PC at all when recording on the camera’s digital storage (USB, SD card,)
- lower network bandwidth, because everything is processed in the camera itself and the high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transferred for analysis.
Robust And Low-Maintenance
MOBOTIX cameras do not require any lens or positioning motors. Without any moving parts, they are so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. The unique temperature range from -30° to +60°C (-22° to +140°F) is achieved without heating or fan at only 3 watts power consumption. Since no PC hard disk is required for recording, there are no parts that wear out in the entire video system.
