In addition, there is a new convenient dome camera, hemispherical modules, and thermal CIF modules specially designed for perimeter protection for the Mobotix7 cameras with up to 105° wide angle of view (FoV). A fibre optic extension system now makes it possible to place the lenses of a single camera (S74) up to 60 meters apart. New intelligent apps and software developments expand the application possibilities of the Mobotix7 Highend video systems. And last but not least, three new cameras from the Mobotix entry-level Move series have been added to the portfolio, which for the first time feature a water-repellent nano-coating for the best view even in the rain.

"This comprehensive launch is visible proof of our strategy, which we have been stringently pursuing since the introduction of the open Mobotix 7 platform. Mobotix is now able to solve every conceivable video technology project worldwide in the future- and cyber-proof manner - regardless of size, the number of locations, requirements or industry," explained Thomas Lausten, CEO of Mobotix. "The launch of the Mobotix Hub video management system (VMS) in May 2021 was already an important building block. We can now offer both the hardware - i.e., the camera itself - and the software and applications, including VMS for all project sizes from a single source and at our extremely high Mobotix security level, as a convincing all-around solution provider."

Innovative launch format

Whether hardware or software, all innovations will be presented to partners and customers on a central launch website. From there, visitors have the opportunity to delve into the versatile in depth information in detail. "Ultimately, all these individual components of this product release combine with the existing portfolio to create customised solutions for our customers. Through the individual and effective combination of this vast potential, we can meet almost every need of our customers," explains Hartmut Sprave, Mobotix CTO.

With this launch, the Mobotix expert team are again playing a pioneering role in the market by combining infrared and LED white light in a 360 omnidirectional camera for the first time. This makes it possible to create colour recordings even at night, allowing, for example, the reliable detection of the colour of clothing or vehicles. The second, new IoT video system, a classic dome camera, also impresses with its innovations. For example, the manual adjustability has been extended by the third level for more convenience and accuracy. Both video security systems are integrated into the Mobotix7 platform, which allows the use of individual camera integrated analysis software (apps).

New apps and updates

The launch includes four new apps, some from new software partners helping to make video analysis ever more flexible, precise and powerful. All available Certified camera apps can be used free of charge for 30 days for testing at Mobotix. If a customer can`t serve an application with the existing app portfolio, Mobotix will work with them to develop an effective application.

Several new models, some with integrated video analysis, were also released in the Mobotix Move camera series, an attractively priced entry-level solution for smaller systems and selective additions to more complex projects. A highlight that stands out is the new Mobotix Everclear coating, a new technology described by the company as groundbreaking, that uses a special nano-technology to transform water drops into an ultra-thin water film immediately upon impact. This, according to Mobotix, ensures the best image quality, even in the rain.

Flexibility and cyber security

"We see more and more confirmation of our overall strategy. Companies or authorities are always facing new challenges to protect people, machines, or areas and in the course of process optimisation. An existing Mobotix7 video system can flexibly cover these tasks, and the installation of suitable apps, without necessarily having to install new cameras," sums up Lausten. "This is a flexible, highly intelligent, future-proof and sustainable solution at the same time. And last but not least, it is highly cyber-secure." This is also evidenced, among other things, by the certification of the leading institute for penetration tests in Germany from June of this year confirming the cyber security capabilities of Mobotix solutions.
