M15 Camera Manual: Product Overview
© MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany
Can Be Used Day and Night
The advantage of a M15D configured as a day-and-night camera is primarily that it continu-
ously uses two sensor modules (one day, one night) rather than relying on a mechanical
filter switch, which can be costly to maintain. The MOBOTIX image quality is very good in
poor lighting conditions, as the camera uses a real infrared-sensitive, black-and-white
image sensor instead of the usual color sensor with electronic color fade-out, whereby
the infrared sensitivity is reduced through integrated color filters.
The day and night lenses in the M15 are positioned exactly parallel to one another. This
way, the day lens always covers the same area as the night lens.
Hemispheric Day and Night Camera (M15 with D10/N10 Sensor Modules)
Equipped with one L10 sensor module for daylight (D10, color) and one sensor module
for night images (N10, Black & White), the M15 is the perfect hemispheric dual camera
for applications with a wide range of lighting conditions. Since both sensor modules are
always parallel thanks to the design of the M15, you will see the same image as a color
image by day and as a Black & White image by night.
Robust and Low-Maintenance
The M15 has been manufactured with the highest level of quality in mind always. Only
quality-tested, high-grade materials and components are used. MOBOTIX cameras do
not have any mechanical motors to operate the lenses or move the camera, making
them so robust that maintenance is reduced to a minimum. Cleaning is simple. You only
need to wipe the lens using a soft cotton cloth and a mild household detergent without
abrasive particles.
Weatherproof– Without Heating or Fan
The entire camera plus cables and sensor modules are weatherproof (IP66). Thanks to
their low power consumption (less than fivewatts) and the total absence of mechani
-
cal moving parts, M15 cameras feature the highest operating temperature range from
–30 to +60 °C/–22 to +140 °F. Since the cameras neither fog up nor require heating, power
can be supplied via the network cabling according to the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af.
Fast, Simple Installation
The MOBOTIX M15 requires just one cable for data and power to connect to a PoE switch
and thereby to any expandable Ethernet network.
The VarioFlex mount supplied as standard makes the camera ideally suited for outdoor use
and for installation over in-wall sockets so that the cabling remains perfectly concealed.
By design, the D10/
N10 sensor modules may
display shades from the
camera housing or the
dome of the other D10/
N10 sensor module.
