Mobotix motion detection capability within Wavestore video recorder systems

The German company MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology and its decentralized concept has made high-resolution video systems cost efficient.

In very little time, MOBOTIX has conquered second place in Europe and fourth place worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing only megapixel cameras for years and, in this area, ranks as the global market leader in high-resolution video systems with a market share of over 60%. 

Unlike other systems, the decentralized MOBOTIX concept incorporates a high-speed computer and, if necessary, a digital memory (SD card) for long-term recording in every camera.

The PC is now used only for viewing, not for analysis or recording. As a result, MOBOTIX cameras can record events even without a running PC and digitally record videos with sound for archiving purposes.

Security and Surveillance needs

In some security and surveillance applications there is the necessity to record video clips without any interruptions for many days continuously. This means that these data files have to been recorded and managed; they also have to be available to be reviewed, analysed and copied on different media devices. This white paper explains how to access and setup the Mobotix web browser directly from the Wavestore Camera Setup screen.
