)25(:25'Dear MOBOTIX customer,
Congratulations on your decision to purchase an exceptionally ecient premium
network camera 'Made in Germany.' Thanks to its double lens and sensor assembly,
the D14D can monitor two dierent areas at once, for example, making it the most
powerful MOBOTIX Fixdome camera yet.
The integrated 4-GB long-term memory can now be expanded up to 64 GB. An entirely
new MOBOTIX GXDOFDPHUDV\VWHPDUFKLWHFWXUH with HiRes image sensors ensures you
are able to transmit a dual image of up to 6 megapixels – also as a highly detailed 180°
panorama, if necessary (special model D14D Sec-180° with two 90° lenses).
The new MxBus and Mini USB camera interfaces make it particularly easy and cost eective
to connect add-on modules such as UMTS, GPS or data storage units.
This Camera Manual will give you an initial overview of the innovative MOBOTIX concept
that is at the core of this technology. This includes all the information you need to unpack
and install the camera (Chapter 2) and to view initial images on a PC (Chapter 3).
Please see the Software Camera Manual Part 2, included in the camera packaging, for
information on how to work with the many camera functions, such as event control or
image storage, for example.
If you would prefer to work with 0[(DV\ or MxControlCenter instead of the browser-
controlled MOBOTIX camera software, you can download these programs for free including
a manual (PDF) from the MOBOTIX website: www.mobotix.com > Support > Software

for many years now and is regarded as WKHJOREDOPDUNHW

of four conventional cameras.

structure has many limitations, since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing

providing several days of recording time. The PC and the video control center now serve
only for viewing and controlling the cameras (PTZ), not for analysis or recording. This
makes it unnecessary to purchase expensive video management software, as the most
important and computer-intensive functions are already integrated in the MOBOTIX cameras.
7KH%HQHıWVMOBOTIX video solutions therefore require significantly:
IHZHUFDPHUDV š due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel
technology,

number of cameras can simultaneously store high-resolution HDTV video with sound
on one PC/server.
ORZHUQHWZRUNEDQGZLGWKš, because everything is processed in the camera itself
and the high-resolution images therefore do not have to be constantly transferred
for analysis.
Robust And Low-Maintenance
MOBOTIX cameras have neither mechanical motors for lenses nor for movement. Without
any moving parts, they are therefore so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum.
The unique temperature range from -30 to +60 °C (-22 to +140 °F) is achieved without
heating or a fan at only 3 watts. Since no PC hard disk is required for recording, there are
no parts that wear out in the entire video system.

SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION
02%27,;6WRUDJH&RQFHSW:LWKRXW%RWWOHQHFNVThese days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or digital
video recorder (DVR) using video management software. Video and audio streams from
all installed cameras are directed to this central device. In this case, using high-resolution
cameras often results in data jam. Above all, storage is inecient, because if the PC has
limited computing power, the high-resolution video with a high frame rate must be sent
directly to a storage device before it can be processed.
If, like with MOBOTIX cameras, the camera adjusts the image format and the frame rate to
the correct values for the specific application (at a gas station, two frames per second are
enough for the recording), it relieves the load both of the network and of the recording device
(PC, server). MOBOTIX cameras can of course also minimize the recording independent
of the live video, and the sound channel is recorded even with video recordings of two
frames per second.
No Storage Limit
The decentralized MOBOTIX concept enables the user to save around 10 times the number
of cameras on a single storage device because the camera manages the recording
itself (on a PC, server, NAS), thus reducing load on the device. For this reason, practically
speaking, there is no memory limit for the entire system because theoretically, each
camera is able to manage its own terabyte-sized storage device via the network. Another
benefit of this concept is the use of aordable, reliable NAS drives that do not require any
special software.

6'&DUG0HPRU\5HGXFHV6WRUDJH&RVWVMOBOTIX cameras are also able to store up to 64 GB of video in their
integrated memory. Thanks to this high storage capacity and the option of
recording only the sequences in which an event occurs, external storage
devices such as hard drives are rarely required. This saves on storage
devices and network infrastructure and reduces the maintenance cost
of mechanical components such as hard drives or fans. The internal SD
cards (flash memory) are digital and since they do not have mechanical
components, they are maintenance-free.

the internal flash storage bridges network failures or bandwidth fluctuations and synchronizes
data when a connection is re-established with the external storage device.
The option of backing up the internal memory at preset times (for example, at night)
reduces the load on the network and, in many cases, enables shared use of the existing
network infrastructure.

Alarm Management And Forwarding
Integrated sensors enable MOBOTIX cameras
to recognize when an event has occurred. If
desired, the cameras will respond immediately
with an alarm sound and will establish
a direct video and audio connection to a
control room.
$EVROXWH'DWD6HFXULW\The security barriers that are built into the camera are extremely secure. The camera
images are only accessible to authorized persons and are encrypted via SSL when they
are transferred over the network.

enlarged detail in live mode, it is always the full image that is recorded. And in this full

situation and easing clarification. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional
communication via a loudspeaker/microphone.
1R3UREOHPV:LWK%DFNOLJKWLQJMOBOTIX cameras are not adversely aected by the glare from direct sunlight. They
deliver meaningful, detailed images all the time because the camera software supports
easy programming of independent exposure windows to cope with specific situations.
This makes them ideal for rooms with large glass fronts.
Anti-Vandalism Dome Cameras
In critical environments or for outdoor use, it is often best to choose optionally vandalism-
protected MOBOTIX cameras. Their steel housing resists even the hardest attacks, and
the cameras will deliver a perfect picture of the attackers.

As always, MOBOTIX focused on the most sophisticated customer requirements during the
development phase. Compared to the previous D12D model, the D14D features numerous
innovations and significantly improved performance. The system architecture was adjusted
to suit the new microprocessor, which allowed MOBOTIX to double the image rates of the
previous model in terms of megapixel resolution. With the D14D, it is now possible to record
a dual color image up to 6 megapixels in size.
+LJK5HVROXWLRQ6HHV0RUH$QG&RVWV/HVVA single D14D camera is all that is required to fully monitor an entire shop floor, as well as
providing a direct view of the checkout. The simultaneous generation and evaluation of
two images with a high degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required
cameras, but also minimizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, backup power
supply requirements and number of recording devices needed. All D14D cameras feature
direct recording to integrated MicroSD cards (now up to 64 GB!) or external USB drives and
can therefore be used in standalone operation with no additional network load.
5REXVW3UDFWLFDOO\0DLQWHQDQFH)UHH$QG9HUVDWLOHIts robust design means that the D14D can be installed on walls or ceilings without any
additional accessories in locations where the already very high requirements of the IP54
protection class are sucient.
Ambient temperatures may vary between –30°C and +60 °C (–22°F to 140°F), making it
the ideal camera for the most demanding weather situations. From stations in Antarctica
to production monitoring at a steel smelting plant – MOBOTIX cameras oer unmatched

is compliant with the higher protection class IP65 (fully dustproof and resistant to water
jets) and can then be easily used in any unprotected outdoor areas. MOBOTIX oers an
additional Corner and Pole Mount that allows the Outdoor Wall Mount to be attached to
the corners of buildings and to masts.
The Outdoor Wall Mount’s design enables, for example, WiFi or GSM/GPRS modules to be
installed directly within the weatherproof housing without disturbing the overall appearance
of the surveillance unit. Similarly, relays for alarm sirens or lights can be installed easily
and elegantly within the housing.
The Outdoor Wall Mount is made from PBT-30GF (polyethylene terephthalate with 30%
fiberglass). This material, which is often used in the automotive industry, is stable and
resistant to high temperatures, UV rays, other environmental factors, chemicals, etc. The
purely software-based design of the MOBOTIX D14D and free software updates ensure
that the surveillance system has a long product life and therefore a high return on investment.
