Mobotix goes into action with its new generation of low-priced, high-performance indoor cameras

Three new indoor network cameras: i25, c25 and p25 mark Mobotix's strategy to compete on price in the SME and consumer market, without renouncing the professional technological features and functionalities that characterize the German manufacturer.

Mobotix has presented the most competitive strategy developed so far by the German manufacturer to introduce its systems in new environments, in which until now it was out by price, with the development of a new generation of indoor cameras -composed of the i25 models, c25 and p25-, than with a price below 400 Euros, incorporate the hemispheric technology of indoor IP of 5 Megapixel.

As Jesús Garzón explains, sales director Latam & Iberia, "the market has always valued our technology very much, as we do not offer an IP camera to use, but it works like a computer in which everything is integrated, but they told us we were expensive. With this competitive range we provide our high quality technology in software and hardware at an incredible cost to enter the battle in the market, but with better weapons than the rest".

The development of this range of video surveillance cameras part is based on the optimization in the production process of the same, "We have lowered manufacturing costs a lot, since the assembly time has been reduced by being very compact, since the plates are mounted in just one hour, compared to the four that require other cameras that have to overcome IP66 test times and high temperatures in the oven".

These indoor cameras 5 Megapixels have IP20 protection and withstand temperatures of 0 at 40º. Incorporate 90º hemispherical lenses to offer a real 180º image, with the possibility of integrating other lenses. "These models are no substitute for any other Mobotix models., but they also come to complement another of our systems, as the Q25 for outdoor, in order to offer a complete solution of the highest quality", says Garzón.

i25 and c25 models include microphone but no speaker, although they have a slot available to add it or include two electrical signal inputs/outputs for use with conventional systems. As Federico Gutiérrez advances, Technical Project Manager at Mobotix AG, "an additional module will be added shortly for this slot; a proximity sensor that works with radar technology with respect to the camera and that can be used as a home automation functionality or to give welcome messages when a customer enters a store or at the reception of a hotel, following our strategy of offering maximum functionality and value in our systems".

Compact and easy to install on walls (model i25) or ceilings (c25 and p25), are based on the decentralized concept of Mobotix, with recordings that are stored simultaneously on both the camera's internal micro SD card (of 4 GB with option to extend to 64 Or 128 Gb) or on a NAS.

This use of 'decentralized' network technology is an added value for customers, "since it guarantees the recording of images even when incidents occur on the network, in addition to being able to use the SD as a backup or buffer so as not to lose any video package", Gutiérrez points out.

Another element of value for the retail environment, educational, These models incorporate the new MxAnalytics software from Mobotix for counting people and objects, as well as development of heat maps to develop security and marketing strategies. They also integrate MxAnalytics video analysis, which collects statistical data on people's behaviour by defining recognition zones (live images or a partial area) and aisle counting without the need for any additional hardware or software.

Mobotix has also presented its Moonlight technology of 6 megapixel, "a new benchmark for delivering sharp images of moving objects, even in lighting conditions of 0,02 lux in b/n and 0,5 lux in color", as well as its new video management software MxManagementCenter, that Digital Security Magazine will analyze in detail shortly.
