Mobotix S15 Security Camera

The compact Mobotix S15 security camera, or FlexMount, is a universally deployable, easy concealable video system with a highly detailed resolution of up to 2 x 6 megapixels. Two 6MP sensor modules featuring microphones are connected to a concealed camera housing via cables of up to three meters long for each module (total max. 6 m). All of the equipment is weatherproof.

The Mobotix S15 security camera is designed from the ground up to be a smart iP device that is future-proof and ready for IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity. This connectivity allows the camera to turn on flood lights, sound an outdoor alarm, lock your doors, and notify the police all in under 1 second in response to triggered motion/activity detection. Another popular option is the ‘panic’ button you can keep in your pocket or around your neck. These are great to keep around the home, with store managers in the event of robbery/fire, or for the elderly. Program the camera to call, text, or email anyone instantly in the event of a trespass or trigger.

Mobotix S15 security cameras feature an in-camera SD-card and processing chip handles all storage, video processing, detection and alarm functions in order to lighten the load your video security data places on the network. Each Mobotix security camera has its own DVR and management software built-in. This allows a one-step recording process that ensures better image quality, faster trigger responses, and less network bandwidth. Each camera comes with a 4 gigabyte SD card but you may upgrade to any size up to 200 gigabytes.

The M25 like all other Mobotix security cameras can also simultaneously record to Network Attached Storage of any size or a centralized DVR if you still wanted to use one. Just remember that with Mobotix cameras, the need for a centralized DVR is gone! All recording, motion detection, and triggering is done in-camera.

This dual lens Mobotix S15 security camera houses a variety of lens types depending on the needed viewing distance. The Mobotix S15 security camera lens options include 180°, 103°, 90°, 60°, 45°, 31°, 15° and 8°. Every angle is available in either a color version for day-time or areas with available light or a night version for environments with low moon light.

The German engineered Mobotix image sensors are over-sized in order to capture more light and detail which is especially useful for low light conditions. For moving objects you need short instead of long exposure times in combination with a high quality lens and image sensor. Mobotix delivers all of this and more.

False alarms and wasted storage are a thing of the past with the MxActivitySensor object and motion detection feature that comes built-in to Mobotix M25 security cameras. MxActivitySensor detects object movement and direction while ignoring small changes like leaves blowing, rain drops hitting the ground or rain water on lenses. No more getting false alerts on your phone or going through hours of useless footage.

The Mobotix S15 security camera build platform is based on having no moving parts for pan, tilt, or zoom in order to give the cameras the longest life-time, an average of 9 years before failure. The no moving parts aspect is also what allows Mobotix cameras to function in extreme temperatures. The S15 camera mount is uniquely designed so that you can place the two camera lenses almost anywhere within 10 feet of the base unit. This allows maximum installation flexibility while allowing you to hide the base unit entirely.

Fun Fact: Every single Mobotix camera is tested for 4 hours at -22°F and +140°F in order to ensure quality. Most camera companies test a small sample of their products to save time and money.

The H264 and H265 codecs inherently create motion blur because the codecs were made to display fluid Hollywood movies at 30 frames per second. What happens when you try to go frame by frame to get the perfect surveillance image using a motion image codec? Motion blur. Mobotix solved this problem by creating their own video codec designed from the ground up specifically for frame by frame surveillance.

The Mobotix MxPeg video codec is superior to H264 and H265 in that it does not average out image detail in order to reduce bandwidth for smooth streaming. The MxPeg codec saves every single frame in full detail so that you can scrub frame-by-frame without motion blurring.

Think of H264 and H265 as a fuzzy memory, and MxPeg as a photographic memory.
