Mobotix AG, based in germany, has become a leading pioneer in network camera technology through its revolutionary decentralised concept which 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. HCS are accredited as Advanced Mobotix Partners (AMP) and as such are qualified to provide consultancy and installation services for Mobotix camera solutions.

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.

MOBOTIX cameras record approximately 12 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.

What Benefits will Mobotix provide to you?

-MOBOTIX video solutions require significantly:
• fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel technology,
• fewer PCs/DVRs, because around 40 cameras can store high-resolution videos with sound efficiently on a single PC, or no PC at all when recording in the camera using digital memory (USB, SD/MicroSD card),
• lower network bandwidth, because everything is processed in the cameraitself and the high-resolution images

-Robust & 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.

-Software Included - For Life
There are no software or licensing costs with MOBOTIX, because the software is always supplied within the camera - for an unlimited number of cameras and users. The software package supplied with the camera also includes a professional control center software used at soccer stadiums, for example. Updates are supplied free of charge on the website. The system price for a weatherproof camera including lens, query software and day-to-day recording on the SD card costs under 1,000 Euros.
