8 RECORDING
8.1 Overview
The multitude of recording features of MOBOTIX network cameras quite impres-
sively demonstrates the state of the art of image processing and image storage. At
the same time, its vast features and the flexible design allow MOBOTIX cameras to
fulfill very diverse and demanding requirements—at a competitive price, compared
to other products.
Concept: Decentralized and Intelligent
The concept of the MOBOTIX cameras can be summarized as follows: "Many intel-
ligent camera systems, which are easily scalable, are working together in a net-
work environment where failures of single components do not affect overall per-
formance." This is also the motto of the recording concept as every camera can de-
cide individually, when, where and how the video and audio data are stored.
Extendability: Cost-efficient Standard Components
Ever-increasing security requirements always represent a
challenge. MOBOTIX cameras meet this challenge in
many ways: Due to the individual system's intelligent de-
sign, no special requirements are needed in the record-
ing hardware. The benefit: all you need for applications
are cost-efficient standard components. This makes it
possible for up to 30 MOBOTIX cameras to record in
event-controlled manner

(P4
with 3 GHz) with up to 30 fps each, including audio.
When more cameras are required, you can easily add
more standard PCs.
Storage Location: In the Camera or on File Servers
Depending on the application, image storing may pose
quite different requirements. When you are supposed to
set up a temporary parking lot monitoring system, for
example, it is perfectly sufficient for the camera to be
able to store up to 2,500 images (640x480) in its inter-
nal ring buffer storage. For monitoring an airport,
which requires storing video sequences for a longer pe-
riod of time, you can use several file servers with RAID
disks, NAS (Network Attached Storage) or SAN (Storage
Area Network) systems providing a storage capacity of
up to the Terabyte range.
