Software release MX-V9.1.2.16 for MOBOTIX ONE camera models S1A-D

Creation Date: 2026-02-23

Publishing date: 2026-03-23

Enhancements and Improvements

Compared to firmware V8.x of the MOBOTIX ONE camera line, numerous enhancements and improvements have been integrated into this software.

New user interface for exposure settings

• The configuration of the sensor modules at the M1 and M2 module ports is now clearly separated in the user interface.
• Custom exposure windows based on tiles.
• In the Setup Menu > Image Control > Exposure Settings > Exposure Control > Custom Windows, custom image areas can be created by clicking on relevant image tiles.
• Exposure profiles added
  The exposure profiles “Off,” “On,” and “Night” are now available:
  • Off: Only the default exposure settings are permanently available. 
  • On: As long as this profile is active, the default exposure settings are disabled. 
  • Night: The profile is automatically activated as soon as the camera switches to night mode. When switching to day mode, the default exposure settings are reactivated.

New “Swap Sensors” option in the general image settings

In the Setup Menu > Image Control > General Image Settings, there is now a “Swap Sensors” function. This allows you to swap the M1 (right) and M2 (left) assignments for the side-by-side camera images in the “Both” view.

New maintenance tool ‘Argus’

The new maintenance tool “Argus” can be accessed in the Admin Menu > Maintenance > Argus. 

Argus supports the maintenance of up to 50 MOBOTIX IoT cameras simultaneously and offers the following functions:

• Overview page with Health Check (new layout), privacy settings, and time status.
• Optimized print version for project documentation.
• Scan network, synchronize time, perform software update, restart.

New user interface for the serial terminal and CGI

The new user interface is available as soon as a USB-RS232 serial dongle is connected.

Support information with optional training image for AI-based analysis

In Admin Menu > System Information > Download Support Information, a high-resolution live image can now be added to the camera report to support visual analysis of the scene and troubleshooting in AI models.

Improvements to Master/Slave arming

Master/Slave arming now supports encrypted transmission and IPv6.

In the Setup Menu > Event Control > General Event Settings > Master/Slave, encryption can be enforced, and IPv6 addresses can be used.

App logs for download

In the settings dialog for Certified Apps, log files can be downloaded for each app.

Changed features (compared to M1A-S with MX-V8.0.1.42-r6)

• Default resolution increased to Full HD (1920x1080)
• Highest image detail accuracy at native 4K resolutions
• The default sharpness has been increased to 6
• Focal Length value added to the EXIF header
• MQTT improvements
  • ALPN can be set via the configuration
  • The value of the camera’s MQTT topic “online” (“true” or “false”) is sent as an MQTT retained message. This allows the broker to store the last value of the topic, and a newly connected client can retrieve the value of the “online” topic without requiring a restart of the respective camera.
• The health check includes the number of interrupted or restored network connections

Removed features / options (compared to M1A-S with MX-V8.0.1.42-r6 or S16 with MX-V5.4.10.4)

• MxMessageSystem distributor type “Reliable Multicast” has been removed.
• Sensor selection is no longer supported.
  • The assignment of M1 and M2 is no longer flexible. That is, M1’s LEDs and microphone remain on M1. For the “Both” display mode (side-by-side), a new “Swap Sensors” option has been added to the “General Image Settings” dialog.
• Panorama mode (180° panorama) is no longer available.
• The HTTP API control no longer supports the “Exposure” configuration section.
  • The URL https://camip/control/control?list§ion=exposure returns the following error message:
    ERR: 010 The requested configuration section is not available!
  • The exposure settings have been revised (Setup Menu > Image Control > Exposure Settings). 
• Modem and blackbody support have been removed from the serial interface. 
• The image control user interface has been optimized.

Known Limitations

• SD Cards
  You may encounter difficulties when changing or replacing the SD card. The SD card slot is designed to fit snugly, making it difficult to remove or insert the card without applying force.
• MOBOTIX ActivitySensor ONE App
• In dark scenes where vehicle objects are partially obscured, setting the motion sensitivity too high can result in false motion detections.
  
• Currently, the app’s motion event does not yet trigger the associated ONVIF MotionAlarm (see Standard ActivitySensor). MxMessage events triggered by the app can be integrated into third-party systems as Custom ONVIF Alarm events if those systems support the interface. Support for MQTT events is also limited.
• Image Generation
• In rare application scenarios with daylight, incorrect reddish image areas may occur.
• When the MxPEG codec is enabled, “ghosting effects” may occur in rare cases, especially in dark scenes with the noise filter set to High.
• In rare cases, a defined exposure window (e.g., “Spot”) may not be applied correctly in dark scenes.
• Using WDR in dark scenes without IR illumination enabled can result in high image noise.
• H.265 ONVIF G fail-over recordings
  In some cases, the camera does not send certain parts of its ONVIF G failover recording clips to the requesting ONVIF client (e.g., MxHUB), which can result in gaps in the retrieved recordings. Only recordings using H.265 as the video codec are affected by this limitation. Recordings using H.264 as the video codec are not affected by this limitation.
• H.264 Main Profile is disabled in the Integration Protocols Settings
  The Integration Protocols Settings are accessable in the Admin Menu > Camera Administration > Integration Protocols.
• Integration Protocols Settings
  After you have enabled an integration mode for the first time, some settings on the Integration Protocols page may not be displayed initially. In this case, try closing and reopening the Integration Protocols settings page, or temporarily set the integration mode to “Off.”
• Online Help
  There is no online help available for some dialogs, including the Visual Alarm Profiles dialog.
• Web Interface Translation
  The dialogs of the web interface are fully translated only into English, German, and French. In all other languages, parts of the dialogs may be displayed in English instead of the selected language.
