Business Wire
The S14 FlexMount from MOBOTIX, the world’s first flexible
double hemispheric camera, is now available. The camera, which is
available in both mono (S14M) and dual (S14D) versions, features
miniature lens units and offers a wide range of application
opportunities. For instance, the S14D can be equipped with two
hemispheric lens units with integrated microphone that are
connected to the main housing via cables. This makes it possible to
fully secure two rooms located next to or on top of one another
with just one single S14. The slim design of the module units,
which are available in white and black, permit an extremely
discreet installation.
Two Rooms Secured With One Single Camera
The S14 FlexMount offers the option to set up two hemispheric
lens units simultaneously in order to completely cover two adjacent
rooms with just one single S14D. When installed in a certain way,
the S14D can also see around corners or secure indoor and outdoor
areas at the same time. The two sensors allow the S14 to generate
two distortion-corrected, high-resolution 180° panorama images,
each with a resolution of 3.1 megapixels. All other MOBOTIX lenses,
from super-wide angle to tele lens, will be available in the near
future in day or night versions.
The S14 is the world's first hemispheric day-and-night camera.
When both modules with black-and-white and color sensors are
mounted directly next to each other and cover the same area, the
camera automatically chooses the best available mode depending on
the lighting conditions. This provides for excellent colors in
daylight as well as superb light sensitivity in dark environments.
Panning and zooming into the image is done purely electronically.
The user is provided with detail views and other image sections
without any mechanical movement, meaning that there is no
wear-and-tear to the camera and no maintenance is required.
Weatherproof, Discreet And Energy Efficient
Both module units and the separate housing with the latest dual
camera board are weatherproof in accordance with IP65 and operate
in a temperature range of -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F). The
flat housing, including flash memory with up to 64 GB and all
external connectors (Ethernet, MiniUSB, MxBus), can be installed
discreetly and with optimal protection behind a wall or ceiling
panel so that only the lens units in their ultra-compact protective
housing are visible. Power is supplied cost effectively via a
network cable (PoE). At less than five watt-hours, the energy
consumption is extremely low.
Wide Range Of Application Opportunities
The camera's technical features and very discreet mounting open
up a whole range of application opportunities. In L-shaped rooms,
for example, the two sensor modules can be positioned at the corner
in correct angles to each other, therefore capturing the entire
room without any blind spots. Therefore, the S14 is particularly
well-suited for use in hotels, banks and retail stores where the
highest levels of security and discretion are required. The S14 can
also demonstrate its strengths at security gates and in offices.
MOBOTIX also offers the appropriate installation accessories for
mounting the sensor module on thicker walls. Using several
extension pieces (each approx. 40 mm), longer "tunnel holes "
through a wall can also be bridged.
MOBOTIX Software Included Free Of Charge
As usual with all MOBOTIX products, the complete software for
configuration and operation of the camera, is integrated directly
into the camera. Additionally, professional video management
software can be downloaded from the website free of charge.
