Ideal for users that require reliable security monitoring of indoor or outdoor areas, this durable IP camera features a modular lens design. This supports the connection of a thermal imaging sensor, alongside a day or night optical lens.
The Mobotix M16 Thermal is a durable network camera that features a modular lens design for the connection of day or night optical lenses, alongside a thermal radiometry (TR) sensor for the measurement of elevated temperatures within a scene. This versatile ‘all-rounder’ also includes 6MP Mobotix Moonlight technology (optic lenses only) mobile support and free Mobotix video management software.
When following Mobotix’s Thermal Configuration Guide, this TR unit enables thermal radiation to be measured across the entire image area and assigns temperature values to each pixel. Alerts can then be raised to the user, in the case of temperatures exceeding or dropping below a defined range – offering a proactive warning system. This makes the camera an ideal choice for protection of a business’s assets, as well as helping to avoid dangerous situations such as machinery overheating.
A wide choice of day, night and thermal imaging lenses offer flexibility and allow the user to build a surveillance system that meets their exact monitoring requirements. Users can choose between thermal/thermal radiometry lenses with either a 457°, 25° or 17° angle of view. In addition, optical lenses provide viewing angles from 180° fisheye down to 8° super-tele and are available in either day or night versions.
Users can automatically switch from the thermal sensors’ view to the optical sensor - providing high-resolution video for optimal viewing when an object is detected within the field of view. Alternatively, thanks to the dual lens system, the camera’s thermal image overlay function allows thermal radiation information to appear on top of the optical sensor image for a more comprehensive overview of hot-spots.
When ordering, please select the lens combination that best suits your requirements. For more details on the lenses available for this model, click the Mobotix lens table to the right.
Please note: for best practice and higher levels of measurement accuracy please refer to the Mobotix Thermal Configuration Guide downloadable above. In addition, if you would like further detail on this model please contact us.
Mobotix pioneered the decentralised approach to IP video. This concept means each camera is a ‘stand-alone’ CCTV system with the ability to process and store video onboard the camera, using built-in software and MicroSD card storage. No central data storage is required, bandwidth is reduced and additional recording software is not needed. This approach makes a Mobotix system very flexible when expanding, as no additional investments besides purchasing new cameras are required.
On-board image processing ensures high-quality images are captured using optimum exposure settings - even in challenging or high-contrast lighting conditions. The unit’s processor also digitally corrects panorama distortion to reduce the size of image data before it is saved. This lowers bandwidth and allows a number of hemispheric cameras to be displayed on a PC or mobile device.
Mobotix’s MxActivitySensor delivers accurate video motion detection and reduces false alarms by intelligently distinguishing between movements of interest and interference such as extraneous shadows or the movement of interior fixtures.
Statistical behaviour data of people and objects can be collected using Mobotix MxAnalytics. Heat mapping helps to identify high-traffic areas and counting data can also be displayed to reveal how many people or objects pass specific locations - and in what direction.
Mobotix MxManagementCenter is a free video management software supported by all Mobotix cameras that features no license fees or update costs. In addition, the Mobotix iOS app is also available which provides users with remote access to video footage from a mobile device.
Mobotix IP cameras feature no moving parts such as fans or heaters, and the fibreglass-reinforced housings are immune to corrosion and direct sunlight. They are also energy efficient, typically requiring less than 7 watts to operate - meaning they require little maintenance and are economical to run.
The full Mobotix range can also use an external NAS for automatic backup, and the onboard MicroSD card acts as a failover buffer in case the connection to the NAS is lost.
Designed to proactively detect elevated temperatures within a scene helping users to react automatically without delay; this high-performance thermal IP camera is an ideal choice for a wide variety of business applications such as monitoring potentially dangerous machinery and protection of assets after working hours.
