CCTV
Why Use Mobotix High-Resolution CCTV Systems?
The higher the resolution, the more details are in an image. Using traditional (analog) technology, a live image has no more than 0.4 megapixels and a recorded image only has 0.1 megapixels (CIF). On the contrary, Vietec supply and install cameras with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail. As a result, larger image areas with up to 360° panorama are possible, thus reducing the number of cameras and therefore the costs.
Cost Benefits
All MOBOTIX cameras reduce system costs because high resolution doesn't just produce reliable evidence, it also saves money.
- Increased resolution reduces amount of cameras needed
- 1536 line, high resolution sensors give a better overview and allow monitoring an entire room with just one camera from the corner
- Reduced installation costs at any distance
- Standard Ethernet connection enables the use of common network components such as fiber, copper and wireless (WLAN)
- Intelligent recording technology reduces required storage
- Decentralized recording technology in the camera software puts less strain on PCs and reduces the amount of storage PCs (DVRs) by 10 times
- Event-controlled image rate minimizes storage cost
- Event-driven, automatically adjusted recording frame rate based on event or sensor action reduces amount of data and storage costs
- No additional power and no heating required
- Anti-fogging without heating allows usage of standard PoE technology to power the system via network and saves costs of power cabling
- Backup power requirement reduced by 8 times
- Low power consumption, 3 Watt, enables year-round (no heating required) PoE with one centralized UPS from installation room via network
- Robust and practically maintenance free
- Fiberglass-reinforced composite housing with built-in cable protection and no mechanical moving parts (no autoiris) guarantees longevity
- No software and no license costs
- Control and recording software is integrated in the camera and is free of charge; new functions are available via free software downloads
- Unlimited scalability and high return on investment
- While in use, more cameras and storage can be added at any time; image format, frame rate and recording parameters can be camera specific
- Additional functions and other extras included
- Audio support, lens, wall mount and weatherproof housing (-30° to +60°C, -22° to +140°F) included; microphone and speaker available in certain models
Technical Advantages
- Progressive-scan instead of half-frame blur
- Megapixel sensor and image processing inside the camera with digital white balance generates sharp and true color images at every scale
- Sun and backlight compensation
- CMOS sensor without auto iris, digital contrast enhancement and configurable exposure measurement zones guarantee optimal exposure control
- Dual camera technology: 2-in-1
- Two possible camera views with picture in picture technology or 180° panoramic view; one Dual-Fixdome camera with 3.1 megapixels is enough
- Long-term, high-performance Terabyte recording included
- Event detection and ring buffer recording by the camera itself allow recording of 40 smooth video streams on a single PC (1200 VGA image/s)
- Simultaneous recording, event search and live viewing
- Live video for multiple users, recording and event search simultaneously possible in seconds from anywhere in the world via network
- Very low network load
- Efficient MxPEG video codec, motion detection based recording and video buffering inside camera guarantee a very low network load
- Bridging of recording during network failures
- Internal camera ring buffer bridges network failures and bandwidth fluctuations of wireless links (WLAN/UMTS) for several minutes
- Day and night maintenance free
- Unique Day/Night camera technology without moving parts guarantees extreme light sensitivity and ensures long-term reliability
- Audio und SIP telephony
- Lip-synchronized audio (live and recording); each camera is a video IP telephone based on SIP standard with automatic alarm call and remote control
- MxControl Center included
- Dual screen technology with building plans, free camera positioning, event search, image processing, lens distortion correctioin and PTZ support

Professional System With 30 Cameras And Terabyte Recording
Plans have been made to equip a train station with 30 day/night cameras and a control center. The fail-safe RAID storage system comprises 1 Terabyte for approximately 48 hours of uninterrupted recording at 16 VGA images per second per camera (480 images/s). When using event-controlled recording or continuous recording with automatic frame-rate adjustment, storage space is enough for about two weeks. Image format, image quality, frame rate and event control can be set individually for each camera, thus using only the minimum storage space for this application. The system including the cameras is fully protected against power failures; the cameras are powered via the network cable.
Additional Advantages Of MOBOTIX Systems Compared To Other Systems:
- Higher image resolution (1,536 lines)
- Higher frame rate while recording (30 cameras x 30 images/s = 900 images/s)
- Unrestricted transmission thanks to TCP/IP standard
- Video sensor system for event-controlled recording already integrated
- Temporary video buffering during network interruptions
- Progressive-scan recording without combing effects for moving objects
- Simultaneous live view, recording and event search
- Remote access possible for live images and searches at any time from anywhere
- Virtually maintenance-free as the system has no moving parts
- Unlimited number of users and cameras – unrestricted system scalability
- No license fees, no software costs
- No limit to the number of cameras and storage capacity that can be added
Cost Savings In Every Aspect
The investment costs for the MOBOTIX system are already significantly less than for an analog system. The maintenance costs are also lower because MOBOTIX cameras have no moving parts that suffer from wear and tear. All the professional software (control center, recording, video sensor) is available free of charge via download. Updates with new functions are published on a regular basis without additional costs and there are no license fees for the software.
