FOREWORD
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 dual camera system architecture 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.

THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT
HiRes Video Innovations And Technology Leader
The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the
leading pioneer in network camera technology since its
founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made
high-resolution video systems cost ecient.
MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively
for many years now and is regarded as the global market
leader for high-resolution video systems.
Why High-Resolution Systems?
The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail
in the image. With analog technology, a recorded image
generally has no more than 0.1 megapixels (CIF). One
single MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records
around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image areas with up to 360° allround
views are possible, thus reducing the number of cameras, and therefore the costs. For
example, four lanes of a gas station can be recorded with one MOBOTIX camera instead
of four conventional cameras.
Disadvantages Of The Old Centralized Standard Solution
Usually, cameras only supply the images while the processing and recording is done later
on a central PC using expensive video management software. This traditional centralized
structure has many limitations, since it requires high network bandwidth and the PC processing
power is not enough for several cameras. An HDTV MPEG4 film already puts considerable
strain on a PC, so how can it be
expected to process dozens of high-
resolution live cameras? Traditional
centralized systems are therefore
less suitable and unprofitable when
compared with high-resolution
systems due to the high number
of PCs needed.

The Decentralized MOBOTIX Concept
Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, a high-speed computer
and if necessary, digital long-term memory (MicroSD Card) is built into every camera,
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.
The Benefits
MOBOTIX video solutions therefore require significantly:
•
fewer cameras due to the more accurate detail of panoramic images with megapixel
technology,
• fewer storage devices, because in the decentralized system, 10 times the standard
number of cameras can simultaneously store high-resolution HDTV video with sound
on one PC/server.
• lower network bandwidth, 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.

D14D Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution
SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION
MOBOTIX Storage Concept Without Bottlenecks
These 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.

SD Card Memory Reduces Storage Costs
MOBOTIX 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.
A single 64 GB SD card has space for:
• 2 weeks of continuous recording from four gas station lanes
• 4 days of video in TV quality
• 200,000 clips of 10s each in high-resolution
• 2 million images
Ideal For Dicult Network Conditions Or WLAN
MOBOTIX cameras are ideal for dicult network conditions or WLAN connections because
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.

ADDED SECURITY VALUE
Robust, Low-Maintenance Technology
The real added value of MOBOTIX products is reflected
in characteristics such as enhanced functionality, long
life, and robustness. MOBOTIX cameras have no moving
parts. This makes the cameras very resistant to wear and
tear, and reduces both maintenance costs and power
consumption.
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.
Absolute Data Security
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.
Notification Of Failure And Shock Detector
Your MOBOTIX video management system will automatically report any impairment or
failure of single network components (e.g. cameras). This ensures maximum reliability
and readiness for use.
Additionally, the D14D is the first MOBOTIX camera with a pre-installed shock detector (for
all IT and Secure versions). If, for example, the camera’s housing receives an impact, it can
simultaneously take video of the oender, trigger an alarm and notify the security company
via telephone. Due to the build quality and absence of moving parts, MOBOTIX cameras
are extremely tough. This typically allows them to stay fully operational, in particular, when
they are subject to strong vibrations.
Subsequent Searches
Unlike any other surveillance camera, MOBOTIX cameras are capable of recording the
full image, even if the operator is zoomed into a specific area in the live image. This full
image recording can always be reviewed via digital pan/tilt/zoom whenever necessary
at a later date.
Users can search for events even in recorded video using post event video motion windows
(in MxEasy or MxControlCenter). This is how, for example, a video motion window is placed

Users can search for events even in recorded video using post event video motion windows
(in MxEasy or MxControlCenter). This is how, for example, a video motion window is placed
Floor plan and camera
view in MxControlCenter
(free control
center software
from MOBOTIX)
above a door in the post image search dialog. This will only filter sequences triggered
when that door opens/closes.
Sound Increases The Chance Of Detection
In the event of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras can turn on their built-in microphones and
record lip-synchronous sound. They are therefore an even greater help in analyzing a
situation and easing clarification. In addition, the video system can be used for bidirectional
communication via a loudspeaker/microphone.
No Problems With Backlighting
MOBOTIX 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.

The First MOBOTIX Camera With Images Up To 6 Megapixels
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.
High-Resolution Sees More And Costs Less
A 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.
Robust, Practically Maintenance-Free And Versatile
Its 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
flexibility and versatility.

The absence of mechanically moving parts, heating and ventilation means that D14D
cameras requires less than 5watts of power, which can therefore be easily supplied via a
standard PoE cable. Cleaning the D14D is simple enough– wipe the dome using a lint-free
cotton cloth and a mild household detergent without abrasive particles.
D14D Model Versions And Lenses
The D14D is available in a Secure and IT version, each of which has two day or night
sensors, or a day/night combination. The main dierence between Secure and IT models
is that the two image sensors of the Secure models have a higher maximum resolution
(two 3MEGA instead of two VGA). Each D14D comes with a well-protected pre-installed
4 GB MicroSD card as standard and, if required, it can be replaced with a card of up to
64 GB. The Night versions of the D14D with two highly sensitive black and white sensors
deliver high-contrast images, even in extremely low-light conditions (min. of 0.01 lux).
In addition to the standard versions, the camera is also available in a D14D-DNight and
a D14D-180° version.
D14D: Standard Version With Individual Lens Configuration
The standard models of the D14D stand out because you can freely combine the two
image sensors and lenses and you can focus them on dierent areas independently of
one another. A lens can be delivered for every day or night sensor with an angle of 15°,
31°, 45°, 60° and 90° as desired.

D14D-180°: High-Resolution 180° Panoramic Image
The D14D 180° is equipped with two fixed 90° Super Wide Angle lenses, which together
ensure a high-resolution 180° panorama image that is up to 6 megapixels in size and is
corrected by means of the camera software.
Using only one camera, it is possible, for example, to cover one side of a building and
the adjacent areas (parking lots, lawns, etc.). Even as a high-quality webcam, the D14D-
180° delivers an excellent, detailed image.
D14D-DNight: Full Operational Readiness In Day And Night Situations
The day/night version of the D14D is equipped with two image sensors and two lenses
which automatically switches to the ideal mode depending on lighting conditions: either
the color sensor with daylight lens or the black and white image sensor with infrared lens.
The dual sensor system provides for excellent colors in daylight and high-quality images
in dark environments.
The day and night lenses come pre-installed on a special DNight lens bridge, which
ensures that they are positioned exactly parallel to one another. This way, the day lens
always covers the same area as the night lens.

Outdoor Wall Mount: Weatherproof And Room For Extensions
Combined with the Outdoor Wall Mount, which is available as an accessory, the D14D
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.
Combined with the software-based architecture of the MOBOTIX D14D and the free software
updates, the whole surveillance system has a long product life and thus provides a high
return on investment (ROI).
