Mobotix S74 multi-module IP camera with up to 4K resolution and a choice of four optical, thermal & functional modules

Overview of the Mobotix S74

The Mobotix S74 offers a flexible, modular surveillance solution delivering video in up to 4K resolution at full frame rate. The main unit features four module inputs that can be populated with a selection of optical lenses, thermal lenses, and functional modules – making this versatile unit an ideal monitoring solution for a wide range of applications. Additionally, this advanced model has access to the Mobotix 7 platform, edge storage and free Mobotix video management software.

Part of the Mx7 series, this versatile camera makes use of the innovative Mobotix 7 platform to further enhance its adaptability with a range of deep learning analytics applications certified by Mobotix including AI-Loitering to detect suspicious dwell times in the area, AI-Heat to identify frequently visited areas of the surveillance scene via a heatmap and AI-people to count individuals who cross a predefined virtual line. Additionally, the Mobotix Software Development Kit (SDK) allows users to develop custom applications to suit their own requirements.

Lens options

Designed with versatility in mind, this unit can be integrated with an array of day or night optical lenses in 4K resolution. Day/night lenses are also available in both 4K and 4MP Ultra Low Light resolution – offering round-the-clock monitoring from a single lens module. Viewing angles range from ultra-wide 120° to super-tele 15° - allowing full flexibility in choosing the required field of view.

Users can also choose between standard thermal and thermal radiometry modules that offer views of 90°, 69°, 45° and 30° in VGA resolution, as well as 45°, 25° and 17° in CIF resolution. These lenses, when equipped with an optical module, allow users to automatically switch between optical and thermal views when an object of interest is detected. Additionally, thermal radiation information can be laid on top of recordings using the camera’s thermal image overlay, providing detailed information about temperature changes in the scene.

Additionally, the camera can be equipped with IR modules that work alongside the chosen optical lens to provide enhanced low-light footage. The modules provide IR illumination at a range of up to 40m (for 050 super wide lens), 70m (for 080 wide and 100 standard lenses) and 100m (150 tele and 280 super-tele lenses). Furthermore, a weatherproof multi-function module is available with four environmental sensors including a passive infrared sensor (PIR), brightness sensor, temperature sensor and a microphone – increasing users’ scene awareness with real-time alerts.

Note: The camera can be equipped with up to two optical and two functional modules, two thermal and two functional modules or one optical, one thermal and two functional modules

Decentralised system

All Mobotix cameras feature a decentralised design, with built-in edge storage and software, users can store and process video on-board. This design provides a more scalable and cost-effective alternative to systems requiring large amounts of external hardware and software licences.

Built-in software

• Advanced image processing
• MxActivitySensor
• MxAnalytics

Built-in storage

• MicroSD card (64GB max) 
• 8GB card included

Advanced image processing provides clear, detailed footage, even in challenging light conditions. WDR technology renders details evenly in strongly backlit scenes, ensuring objects and individuals can be identified clearly.

Mobotix’s MxActivitySensor offers intelligent motion detection that distinguishes between genuine movements of interest and those that could trigger a false alarm.

Mobotix MxAnalytics uses heatmaps and counting data to collect statistical information, giving users greater insight into behaviour patterns in the surveillance area.

MXManagementCenter is Mobotix’s video management software, requiring no licence or update fees, allowing users to manage their footage for free. In addition, remote access is also available through the Mobotix iOS application.

Robust design and low running cost

With a durable design that features no moving parts such as fans or heaters, maintaining the S74 is straightforward and cost-effective. This camera can be used in a range of environments and is outdoor-ready with IP66 weather-resistant and IK10 vandal-resistant casing.

Additionally, all Mobotix cameras can use an external NAS for automatic backup and the on-board MicroSD card acts as a failover buffer in case the connection to the NAS is lost.

Compatible recording platforms
