M16 AllroundDual

A number of additional devices can be used. They are connected via a network switch

or directly to the camera housing via an MxBus

* or MiniUSB cable (for example, ExtIO,

MOBOTIX functional boxes, audio or USB-based storage devices). If the network switch

features an Internet connection, it can be used for encrypted access to the camera footage

from anywhere in the world.

VirtualPTZ(vPTZ)–Panning,TiltingandZoomingwithNoMotorRequired

The M16 also zooms in on detail. This vPTZ function (virtual Pan, Tilt, Zoom) is a standard

feature in the integrated camera soware. The image can be enlarged using, for example,

the mouse wheel, a joystick or a soware-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.

SimultaneousZoomedLiveImageandFullImageRecording

All standard motorized PTZ cameras only store the image sequence that is currently viewed

in 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. MOBOTIX has hence added the new full image recording feature

to the M16. When you activate this feature, the camera will not store the currently viewed

image that reects 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

date, the vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow you to zoom in on the visible

image and use the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

Internal DVR

The M16 features direct recording to the integrated MicroSD card, 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 creating any network load. Old recordings can be overwritten

automatically or automatically deleted aer a specied period of time. When using a 32 GB

SD card, for example, the camera can store more than a quarter million event images

in VGA format (640x480). If you would like to archive complete sequences or extracts of

sequences, you can export the required data to any PC or USB hard drive.

LowPowerConsumptioninAccordanceWithPoEStandard(IEEE802.3af)

An M16 typically uses 7.5 W, despite the new dual-core technology. Adjusting the PoE class

via the camera soware also enables the use of PoE switches that cannot be operated on

all ports with PoE class 3 (up to max. 12.95 V). Please note that PoE Class 3 is recommended

for the M16, and that the M16-Thermal/M16-Thermal-TR always requires Class 3. Class 3

is also required if you connect MxBus or USB modules to the camera.

Model Variants
