Mobotix Mx-M26B - Mounting with Hemispheric Lens B016

Preparing the Installation
Mounting the Camera with Pole Mount
Especially when using the camera in mobile outdoor scenarios (e.g., for surveillance of construction
sites), the camera is oen installed on round poles. In such cases, MOBOTIX recommends using
the virtually indestructible pole mount (MX-MH-SecureFlex-ESWS) that is available as accessory
for the M26. This pole mount is made from white, powder-coated stainless steel and is used in
combination with the pre-installed VarioFlex wall mount of the camera.
You can attach the mount to poles with diameters between 60 mm and 180 mm/2.4 in to 7.1 in.
Best results are obtained when using high metal poles, since they allow running the network
cabling inside, well-protected from tampering. For more detailed information on the installation
process, see Section 2.2, «Mounting the Camera with Wall Mount» and the following sections,

2.1.2 Mounting with Hemispheric Lens B016
The camera must be correctly positioned at the wall or ceiling in order to be able to use the
high-resolution hemispheric image display option of the M26 with hemispherical B016 lens. The
entire hemisphere of the room in front of the camera is then eectively monitored.
High-Resolution Panorama Images
The M26 with B016 lens is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview in the form of a
high-resolution panorama image, and less suitable for more exact details. For active opera
-
tion, the camera should be mounted at an (out of direct reach) height ranging from 2.50 m to
3.50 m. Facial recognition up to 1.50m(5) distance to the object is very good and up to 3 m
(9.8)is still suicient. Objects can be recognized even at distances of 5 m and more from the
camera. During installation, ensure that the camera is focused on the most important areas of
the room as directly as possible, in order to optimize image quality and to provide the desired
level of detail recognition. This applies above all to wall and ceiling installations that must be
carried out at greater heights for technical or other reasons (over doors, windows, etc.). Only
by tilting the camera appropriately can the lens capabilities be fully utilized.
