    Low Bandwidth Requirements MOBOTIX' patent pending MxPEG streaming format allows fast live video with au- dio at extremely low network load (1 to 2 Mbps). Since the MOBOTIX camera itself detects movements in the image, video is only transmitted if movements occur, and when the video and audio data are stored.

Remote Alert Popup In case of an alarm, MOBOTIX cameras automatically pop up windows or activate other functions at a remote security control center.

    IEEE 802.3af! Network Power Adapter (MX-NPA-3-RJ) The Network Power Adapter allows injecting the power supply for the MOBOTIX camera into the network cable. It thus allows using a single cable for connecting to the camera and for remotely supplying power (up to Power supply for smaller 100 m/300 ft).
  • Page 29 If only ISDN is available for the camera and only one cable should be used for con- ISDN necting the camera, you will need to inject power into the 8-wire cable using either a power supply and the Network Power Adapter or an MX-NPR-4/8/20. © MOBOTIX AG • Security-Vision-Systems • Made in Germany www.mobotix.com • sales@mobotix.com...

  • Page 32: Power Supply Of The Mobotix M12

    Caution In contrast to the MOBOTIX M10, it is not possible to use an ISDN NT and the S0 bus to supply power to the M12. Using the ISDN split cable and MOBOTIX PoE products (see section 2.3, Optional Accessories), the power can be injected into the ISDN data cable (8-wire cable required).
  • Page 33: Using Uninterruptible Power Supplies (Ups)

    When using more powerful 19" rack-mounted USPs, you can also protect all other network components (e.g. switches, routers, PoE switches, etc.). Since MOBOTIX cameras do not require any heating even in the wintertime, the power consumption of 3 W is quite low. This in turn means that you can centrali- ze the USP-protected power supply by injecting power into the network cables (max.
