THE MOBOTIX CONCEPT
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 ecient.
MOBOTIX has been producing megapixel cameras exclusively
for many years now and is regarded as
.
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
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 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
