stored in this way are easily found later on as they are stored with date/time codes
and a unique event number.
For all recording modes, the camera can automatically extend the recording time
when certain events occur and, thus, record an alarm with as many continuous im-
ages as possible.
Recording Formats: MxPEG or JPEG
One of the top requirements in security technology is the speedy transfer and dis-
play of video and audio data. As no other format can fulfill this requirement, MO-
BOTIX has developed its own transfer format MxPEG, which allows transferring
video data using only one third of the usual bandwidth and also can transport the
audio data from the camera microphone. In order to display the stored MxPEG-en-
coded video and audio data, you can either use Windows Internet Explorer with
MxPEG ActiveX plugin or MxViewer (available for download from
www.mobotix.com free of charge).
For long-term recording, using the JPEG format is a good choice, too, as this single
image format represents a good compromise between image quality and required
storage capacity.
Independent of the chosen format, a JavaScript-enabled browser is sufficient to
evaluate the event images.
Playback: Via the Cameras or Directly
Once the video data has been recorded, it can be played back using the MOBOTIX
camera's integrated Player. When playing back the events, you can choose to only
see the event images (recorded when the event had been triggered) or the full
video sequence with pre- and post-alarm images. Using the integrated database
features of the MOBOTIX camera also allows searching for events recorded at a
specific data and time. If the audio data had been included in the recording, the
sound of the camera microphone will also be played back.
