Higher Resolution For The Same Price

Mobotix Equips Network Cameras With 3-Megapixel Sensors

Kaiserslautern, November 19, 2007. Mobotix AG, a manufacturer of digital high-resolution and network-based video security systems headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany, is fitting 3-megapixel color sensors into its cameras with immediate effect. The image sensors havea resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and will be available in all Mobotix camera series from now on at an unchanged price. In addition, the new version 3.4 of the Mobotix software supports customer-specific image formats of anysize and in any aspect ratio. This noticeably reduces the required bandwidth and storage volume since only the relevant parts of images are transferred and recorded. High sensor resolution and variable image scaling in the camera itself help to maximise detail sharpness without errors such as image artefacts or aliasing even when medium resolutions like XGA (800 x 600 pixels) are used.

One Mobotix camera instead of four analog cameras

Instead of the several cameras that would be needed in conventional security systems, just one high-resolution camera from Mobotix is enough to monitor large areas and store the images on a PC. In existing applications it will be possible, for instance, to simultaneously secure four lanes at a service station or four turnstiles at the World Cup stadium in Kaiserslautern. In addition, investment costs are reduced as the cameras are easy to install and feature an emergency power supply. With its weather proof case, lens and professional MxControlCenter software the D22-Secure model, for example, is available at a net price of € 748.
