MOBOTIX Addresses Modern Security Concerns with New High-Resolution 3-Megapixel Sensors In All Cameras

Image resolution now 31 times greater than the industry average. The image sensors have a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and will be available in all Mobotix camera series from now on at an unchanged price.

New York (PRWEB) February 19, 2008 -- MOBOTIX, provider of advanced IP based high-resolution Megapixel video solutions, announced that they are fitting 3-megapixel color sensors into its cameras with immediate effect. The image sensors have a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and will be available in all Mobotix camera series from now on at an unchanged price. In addition, the new version 3.4 of the Mobotix software supports customer-specific image formats of any size and in any aspect ratio. This noticeably reduces the required bandwidth and storage volume since only the relevant parts of images are transferred and recorded. High sensor resolution and variable image scaling in the camera itself help to maximize detail sharpness without errors such as image artifacts or aliasing even when medium resolutions like XGA (800 x 600 pixels) are used.

"Security Directors around the world are replacing their dated analog CCTV equipment with digital network cameras. Increasing the image resolution allows us to meet the growing demand for the detailed high quality surveillance video which is a required by today's modern security systems," said Peter McKee, International Marketing Director for MOBOTIX. "With the new 3-megapixel color sensors, we will provide a scalable and future-proofed high-definition video solution at a very competitive price point."

One Mobotix camera instead of four analog cameras

Instead of the several cameras that would be needed in conventional security systems, just one high-resolution camera from Mobotix is enough to monitor large areas and store the images on a PC. In existing applications it will be possible, for instance, to simultaneously secure four lanes at a service station or four turnstiles at the World Cup stadium in Kaiserslautern, Germany. In addition, investment costs are reduced, as the cameras are easy to install and feature an emergency power supply. With its weatherproof case, lens and professional MxControlCenter software the D22-Secure model, for example, is available at a net price $850.
