2012.01.17 - Year 2011 In Review: Cameras, Records, Top Rankings!
A new record at an icy height, new products and a place on the podium: That was 2011 for MOBOTIX
Winnweiler/Langmeil, Germany, January 16, 2012. Looking back at the past year, we remember the many milestones we have had at MOBOTIX: We set a new record with the highest webcam in the world on top of Mount Everest. We received first place in one of Germany’s biggest daily newspapers "Die Welt" Top 100 – Small and Medium-Sized Business (SMB) Rankings 2011. We built and moved into a new 6,000-square meter production facility. New management was brought on board. And we launched a brand new product: the T24 IP Video Door Station.
January 2011 – New Executives
Dr. Magnus Ekerot and Dr. Oliver Gabel began working as new members of the Management Board at MOBOTIX AG. Dr. Magnus Ekerot will ensure that the company continues its constant and sustainable growth in his position as Chief Sales Officer (CSO). Dr. Oliver Gabel completes the Management Board as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), where he has been responsible for development and production since January.
April 2011 – Global Presence Expanded
MOBOTIX have opened offices in other European cities, adding to the international offices in Sydney, Australia and New York. The company unveiled new showrooms in Madrid and in London’s Gherkin.
June 2011 – Crystal-Clear Allround View With The D14
The MOBOTIX DualDome D14 camera was launched on the market in June. It ensures crystal-clear recording with its 6.2 megapixels. The two 90° lenses even allow a 180° recording, for example, when monitoring an entire parking lot with one camera installed on the wall. And with the digital sensor switching function, the D14 can also be used as a day/night camera since it can be equipped with one color and one black/white module, ensuring the most brilliant color during the day and high sensitivity at night.
August 2011 – "Made in Langmeil" In The New Production Facility
High-resolution video systems from MOBOTIX AG have been produced at the company’s site in Langmeil, a town not far from Kaiserslautern, since August. An average of over 10,000 products are now being built at the new 6,000-square meter facility every month. This is almost 100 percent more than at the beginning of 2009. The production facility provides 3,700 m² of production area. There is also 1,500 m² of storage space, 600 m² of office space and more than 350 m² for common rooms. This offers the ‘Made in Germany’ technology from MOBOTIX plenty of room to grow.
September 2011 – HIGHlight: The World's Highest Webcam On Mount Everest
If the summer in Germany gets too hot for you, cool down over the Internet. Real-time video from the top of Mount Everest is now available for everyone anytime. A new record is set with a MOBOTIX camera that makes this possible: the operation of the world’s highest webcam at temperatures reaching minus 30 degrees Celsius. The EV-K2-CNR scientific committee from Bergamo, Italy, installed an M12 MOBOTIX camera on nearby Kala Patthar (5,675 meters). This camera is currently recording stunning images of the 8,848-meter tall Mount Everest. The video shows Mount Everest as well as the South Col Plateau on the right side of the image. The image is updated every five minutes so that we can even track the movement of the clouds around the peak of the mountain. The webcam is only active during daylight hours (6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Nepalese time, which is from 12:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Central European Time) and is available at http://www.evk2cnr.org/WebCams/PyramidOne/everest-webcam.html.
November 2011 – MOBOTIX Is First In Germany’s SMB Ranking
The management consulting firm Munich Strategy Group evaluated a total of 1,600 businesses from across Germany for their "Top 100 – Small and Medium-Sized Business Rankings 2011." MOBOTIX took first place in the rankings – thanks largely to their impressive growth and consistent expansion strategy. This Top 100 list was compiled in association with one of Germany’s biggest daily newspapers, "Die Welt."
December 2011 – T24 Opens New Doors
Not only Santa stands at the door in December, but also the full version of the MOBOTIX T24 was available just in time for Christmas. Besides the video door intercom, MOBOTIX also released the RFID access control module (Keypad), the Security Door Opener and the two-wire network module (Mx2wire info module). Customers get a powerful, complete video solution for door communication and access control. The support of the new IP telephony standards enables the user to establish a direct connection from the Door Station to any VoIP phone or any computer or smartphone running VoIP software. This means that by setting up the appropriate network infrastructure, the user can establish a video connection, remotely open doors, view stored video messages and review recordings from anywhere in the world.
2011.12.23 - 独一无二的 IP 视频门禁系统,兼具无缝全景拍摄和全球通信功能
2011 年 12 月 23 日,Winnweiler/Langmeil。MOBOTIX 已于 2011 年 12 月 20 日交付了第一套 IP 视频门禁系统 T24。除了纯粹的视频门禁对讲系统外,它还配备了 RFID 门禁模块(Keypad)、安全开门模块和双芯线网络模块(Mx2wire 信息模块)。该门禁系统支持新的 IP 电话标准,因此可以直接连接各个 VoIP 电话或连接那些安装 VoIP 软件的各个计算机或智能手机。借此,您可以通过相应的网络基础设施在全球范围内建立视频通信,遥控开门或查看已保存的视频信息和录像。通过 MOBOTIX 的全景摄像机技术,可以视频监控门外的整个区域。无论门禁系统和门之间的侧边距大小如何,我们总能拍摄到您想监控的区域。
图像的平移和缩放完全以电子方式完成,而无机械运动,因此不存在磨损以及维护成本。此外,MOBOTIX 系统还具备这样的优势:即便在拍摄时只对准来访者的脸部,也可在事后分析时对所有区域乃至地面进行观察。
当通过网络单独建立 IP 电话通信时,该门禁系统可以实现全球联网,也就是说,在运行过程中无需使用中央控制系统或计算机。其能耗极低,约为 5 瓦。它可直接通过网络电缆供电。该系统还可自动安装,因此调试非常简单并且无需很多的网络知识。
甚至在安防领域,该套 MOBOTIX 门禁系统也设立了全新的标准。通往模块以及模块之间的总数据传输是以高度加密的方式完成的。访问权限也将在受保护的室内范围进行保存和检查。即便在完全断电时,RFID 门禁模块也可使用安全开门模块的蓄电池继续控制无匙进入系统最长达 60 小时。该门禁系统的单个模块在标准情况下通过一个电磁防盗装置保护,以防止他人擅自取出。
借助 RFID 门禁模块可以通过信用卡内的应答器或输入密码控制无匙进入。读取的访问询问将以加密方式通过双芯线传输至安全开门模块,然后安全开门模块在完成访问权限检查后打开门。来访者的视频信息也可在此保存或查询。开门的所有密码、应答器数据和访问时间
都保存在安全开门模块内。由于该模块安装在室内,而在室外未保存任何相关的访问数据,所以该门禁系统可防盗、防破坏。此外,该模块还可用作门铃。多种铃声供您选择。原则上,该安全开门模块不需要额外的电源,用于控制门的电动开关机构,因为它集成了可以生成所需电压的蓄电池。
这种双芯线网络模块(Mx2wire 信息模块)是以带背光的门牌形式与门禁系统的简单信息模块实现交流的,通过两根普通的门铃电线即可连接网络和供电。因此,无论您选择嵌入式还是凸出式型号,都可以在各种墙体上安装。
2011.11.29 - 德国中型企业百强排名MOBOTIX荣膺榜首
MOBOTIX 公司以其快速的增长、强势的营销战略、高度的国际化获此殊荣
德国Winnweiler/Langmeil, 2011 年 11 月 29 日。德国慕尼黑战略集团 (Munich Strategy Group) 在对德国1600 家中型企业进行分析和排名之后选出了"2011 年 德国中型企业 100 强"。作为百万像素摄像机领域里全球最大的高分辨率网络视频安全系统制造商,MOBOTIX公司以其快速的增长及持续的发展战略拔得头筹。德国"世界报"刊登了 100 强的排名状况。
成功的营销策略和持续的国际化战略居功至伟
因为其强劲的增长,MOBOTIX 公司从 1600 家入围公司中脱颖而出。2010/2011 财年,这家来自普法尔茨 州Langmeil 的公司获得了 36% 的营业额增长率。2005 和 2011 年间,该公司营业额平均增幅超过 35% – 同时利润率平均增长近 20%。"MOBOTIX 以其强势的营销战略而著称。它在很短的时间内就将其业务模块成功拓展到全世界",德国慕尼黑战略集团总经理 Sebastian Theopold 赞誉道。无论在使馆、机场、火车站、港口、加油站、酒店,还是在高速公路,您都可以找到 MOBOTIX 视频系统的身影。即使在足球场 - 凯泽斯劳滕贝岑贝格山球场、巴黎王子公园球场、顿涅茨克矿工球场(2012 年欧洲杯球场)或者 2022 年世界杯举办地卡塔尔,甚至在梵蒂冈图书馆,都使用了这家普法尔茨公司制造的摄像机。
为了在全球市场上获得成功并将其业务进一步拓展到世界各个角落,MOBOTIX 雇佣了很多来自世界各国的员工,每年要举行 20 多次国际合作伙伴会议,并参加全球约 100 个博览会。这份努力体现在营业额上:MOBOTIX 所有摄像机系统 76% 出口到德国之外。
"我很高兴,我们能在此项排名中拔得头筹",MOBOTIX AG 创始人和董事长 Ralf Hinkel 博士强调说,"我们在很短的时间内通过分布型系统的创意书写了一段通过技术创新和国际化发展获得成功的历史。为此,不断扩展的产品链以及 Langmeil 公司总部具有更高生产能力的全新生产车间功不可没。"
令人难忘的成功之路
早在 1999 年底,Ralf Hinkel 博士成立了 MOBOTIX 公司;2001 年底,他将公司的第一台摄像机投入市场。其突出特征是:分布型系统的创意。采用该创意的每台摄像机内都集成了一台功能强大的计算机,必要时还集成有数字存储设备(MicroSD 卡),用于储存长时间的摄录内容。所拍摄的图像数据将在摄像机内自行处理,无需传输到控制台。分布型系统的创意使得高分辨率视频系统具有无可比拟的整体成本优势,因为其高达百万像素的分辨率几乎不会给本地网络带来任何负荷。因此,即便未对网络进行很大的更新,也能便捷地安装高分辨率的安全系统。借助 MOBOTIX 系统,全球很多公司面临的难题就迎刃而解了。
2011.11.24 - MOBOTIX Q24 荣膺 Merlion Award奖
德国Winnweiler/Langmeil,2011 年 11 月 24 日。在本年度的 2011 Safety & Security Asia(亚洲安防展)上,MOBOTIX 的 Q24 摄像机荣膺 Merlion Award奖。该奖项是用于表彰安防领域的特殊产品和创新设计。评选的标准是产品创新、设计、客户利益以及重要产品优势。
Q24 摄像机拥有高分辨率的图像传感器、全景镜头和内置 DVR。它通过仅仅一台摄像机即可拍摄到整个空间,并将拍摄的高分辨率图像直接保存在摄像机内。即使是 310 万像素的图像也可通过每秒高达 20 张图像的帧率进行传输,百万像素的图像传输帧率最高也可达每秒 30 张图像。
"通过此次的 Merlion Award 奖,我们进一步强调了我们的发展战略:将符合市场需求的创新性产品推向市场",MOBOTIX AG 的销售总监 Magnus Ekerot 博士说道,"为此,我们深感荣幸。"

2011.09.08 - 珠穆朗玛峰再次成为公众的焦点
世界最高峰被重新测量,并可通过互联网观看高分辨率视频。
德国Winnweiler/Langmeil, 2011 年 9 月 8 日。世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰再次成为公众的焦点:尼泊尔政府将使用目前世界上最先进的技术重新确定珠穆朗玛峰的准确高度。另外, 在"Everest Share 2011"研究项目中也使用了更多的高科技设备。在全球气候与环境监测会议"Share"(高海拔环境研究观测站)的响应下,通过安装一台 MOBOTIX 摄像机记录天气情况。
位于世界上海拔最高的 Webcam 将珠穆朗玛峰带入了互联网
此次研究项目的测量结果大概在两年后才会得出,但人们现在就可以通过实时图像了解"Everest Share 2011"研究项目的最新进展。只要登录http://www.evk2cnr.org/WebCams/PyramidOne/everest-webcam.html,就可以非常便捷地在电脑上观看珠穆朗玛峰峰顶的实时图像。一台 MOBOTIX 摄像机就使这一切成为了可能,MOBOTIX 也由此创造了一项新的纪录:位于世界海拔最高的 Webcam 投入运行,最低环境温度达到零下三十度。来自意大利贝加莫的 Ev-K2-CNR 委员会在附近的卡拉帕塔(海拔 5,675 米)山顶上安装了一台M12 型MOBOTIX 摄像机来提供位于海拔 8,848 米的珠穆朗玛峰的壮观图像。该录像不仅显示了珠穆朗玛峰,而且在图像右侧也显示了南山坳。该图像每 5 分钟刷新一次,所以甚至可以跟踪峰顶周围云层的运动情况。该 Webcam 仅在自然光下运行(尼泊尔时间:6:00 至 18:00,中欧时间:0:15 至 12:15)。
用于气候保护的珍贵图像
"Everest Share 2011"研究项目在全球气候与环境监测会议"Share"的主题背景下展开。科研人员选择卡拉帕塔山作为摄像机安置地点,因为从这里可以以极佳的视角观测珠穆朗玛峰西侧、西北和西南侧峭壁以及西侧山脊。摄像机通过 WiFi 将图像无线传输至位于海拔 5,050 米的 Ev-K2-CNR 的Pyramid 实验室/气象站,在这里首先对图像进行分析,然后将图像传送至意大利,以进行进一步评估。结合由位于珠穆朗玛峰上世界最高海拔(8,000 米)的气象站所提供的气象数据(如温度、空气湿度、风速和风向、日射和降水量),科研人员希望得到有关气候变化和全球变暖的进一步认知。
在如此极端恶劣的气候条件下确保最优的图像质量
MOBOTIX 摄像机通过一块太阳能电池板供电,在最低可达零下三十度的严寒温度条件下确保最优的图像质量。该摄像机坚固耐用、功能强大,非常适用于极端恶劣的环境。该摄像机的安装由意大利工程师和尼泊尔 Ev-K2-CNR 完成, Ev-K2-CNR 技术委员会负责人 Giampietro Kohl 负责协调工作:"我们历时数月之久完成了设备的安装,并花费了很多时间对系统进行测试和校验。我们的动力在于创造一项新的纪录:使位于世界海拔最高的 Webcam 投入正常运行。"
