technology since its founding in 1999, and its decentralized concept has made high-
resolution video systems cost-ecient. Whether in embassies, airports, railway stations,
ports, gas stations, hotels or on highways - over one hundred thousand MOBOTIX video
systems have been in operation on every continent for years.

In a short time, MOBOTIX has gained the second place in Europe and the fourth place
worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras
exclusively for years and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in high-resolution
video systems with a market share of over 60%.

The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail in the image. With the old analog
technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels, and a recorded image
generally 0.1 megapixels (CIF). On the contrary, one 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.

Usually, cameras only supply the images, while processing and recording take place
later on a central PC using video management software. This traditional centralized
structure has many limitations, since it requires highnetwork bandwidth and the PC
processing power is insufficient for several cameras. A HDTV MPEG4 film already puts
considerable strain on a PC,
how can it be expected to process dozens of high-resolution live
cameras?
Traditional cen-
tralized systems are
therefore less suitable
and cost-effective than
high-resolution systems
due to the high number
of PCs required.

Unlike other systems, with the decentralized MOBOTIX concept, a high-speed com-
puter and, if requested, digital memory (MicroSD/SD card) is built into every camera
for long-term recording. The PC now serves purely for viewing, not for analysis or
recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record in response to an event, even
without the PC being switched on, and digitally store the videos with sound.

MOBOTIX cameras have no mechanical motors for lenses or for movement. Without any
moving parts, therefore they are so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum.
The unique temperature range from -30 °C to +60°C is achieved without heating or a fan
at approximately 3watts. Since no PC hard disk is necessary for recording, there are no
parts that wear out in the entire video system.

There are no software and licensing costs with MOBOTIX because the software is always
supplied with the camera for an unlimited number of cameras and users. The software
package supplied with the camera also includes professional control room software similar
to that used in football stadiums, for example. Updates are supplied free of charge on
the website. The system price for a weatherproof camera, including lens, query software
and day-to-day recording on the MicroSD/SD card, is under 1,000 euro.

When it comes to future-proof video surveillance systems, it is not a matter
of analog or digital but whether it is high-resolution or not. It is important to
note that only HiRes video with decentralized network camera technology
can be implemented at a much lower cost than any other type of video
surveillance system.

These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or
DVR using video management software. Video and audio streams from all installed
cameras are directed to this central device. This system is comparable to a highway at
rush hour: the more cameras there are, the faster data piles up on the PC or DVR. This
means that despite HiRes cameras, the data is generally not stored in high-resolution
format.

MOBOTIX solves the PC storage bottleneck problem using a currently unique and yet
amazingly eective method - through the camera itself. High-resolution video with lip-
synchronized sound is saved either remotely over the network or locally on Flash memory
devices (commercial SD/MicroSD or CF cards, USB memory).
