18/12/2008 - Creative Solution: M12 DevKit Now With MxLink Extension
MOBOTIX AG has announced the market launch of its revised M12 DevKit. The new MxLink extension now gives the M12 DevKit even greater flexibility. MxLink makes it possible to position any image sensor one meter away from the main DevKit board. Robust sensor aluminum housing with mounting bores for easy assembly are available from the factory along with the open sensor modules.
The MxLink extension module can be used where required in place of the standard 30 cm ribbon cable (still available) and thus more than triple the distance between the camera and sensor boards! A perfect solution for ATMs (automated teller machines) and for concealed surveillance of cashier zones, hotel reception areas and bank counters, for example. The new DevKit gives MOBOTIX customers a flexible, modular system that can be tailored to their individual needs. There are simply no limitations to the possible applications or user creativity!
When placing orders, please note the changes in the order details: In future, lenses, sensor boards and MxLink have to be ordered as separate items.

"Innovative Achievement Award“ for the Hemispheric Camera Q22
The Detektor International Award is a worldwide established award that recognizes technological innovations and trend-setting products that significantly contribute to the further development of the security industry.
The best products are divided into the following three categories:
- Alarm systems

The Detektor International Award is the only global security industry award which cannot be applied for.

06/10/2008 - Q22 Panorama: a better overview
When several cameras are monitoring a single room, it is difficult to understand the room layout in its single views. This makes it hard to comprehend the overall setting. The new panorama function of the Q22 delivers a widescreen image of a high-resolution 180° allround view. This makes it possible to monitor entire rooms discreetly with a single camera - for just 698 euros.
This world novelty demonstrates again the innovative strength of MOBOTIX as a global leader for megapixel video security systems.

29/09/2008 - MOBOTIX Offers The Perfect Banking Solution
One MOBOTIX for multiple cash desks
MOBOTIX offers the most cost-efficient camera solution for banks. The high image resolution means that fewer cameras are needed, and the internal Flash recording eliminates the
need for additional recording devices.
Thanks to its 3.1 megapixel image sensors, a MOBOTIX camera achieves several times higher image detail than a CCTV camera, allowing it to monitor multiple cash desks simultaneously in accordance with the UVV standard (German accident prevention regulations for banks). An optional 16-GB SD Flash card in the camera enables four alarm buffers of 30 minutes and 30,000 suspicion images to be stored without the need for an additional recording device or PC and without increasing the network load.
The D22-Secure dome camera can monitor two adjacent cash desks for 748 euros, including lens. The camera comes with UVV-certified MxCC research software at no extra cost. It is not necessary to use a local PC since it can also access the alarm buffer of a bank branch via the network from the MxCC control center using encrypted remote access.
For all questions regarding "Security for Banking Industry" kindly contact us either by Email banking@mobotix.com or by phone +49 (0)631 30 33 160. MOBOTIX would be pleased to assist you in this matter.

Recording An Entire Room With A 360° Camera
MOBOTIX AG, manufacturer of high-resolution, complete IP video systems, presents the new hemispheric Q22 camera with a discreet design for mounting on the ceiling or wall at the Security Essen Exhibition, Germany, in hall 1.0, stand 408. In addition to the PTZ function, which comes without any mechanically moving parts, an entire room can be recorded and reviewed later in the playback with a virtual PTZ function. A Quad view allows simultaneous viewing from four different angles with an independent PTZ functionality. Due to the conversion of the hemispheric image to a normal image in the camera and by saving the images in a 16 GB storage inside the camera, hardly any network bandwidth is required. The weatherproof camera with the MxCC ControlCenter is available for 698 Euro net.
Additionally in Essen, the video management system MxCC/BGV for certified cashier surveillance (UVV) as well as special gas station cameras are presented. Four gas station lanes can be recorded simultaneously for several days on an internal semi-conductor memory without network load and without PC/DVR.
