Camera Concept

The Idea

The original aim was to develop a camera that could provide pictures and videos on the Internet in the least complicated way possible, without additional computer and specialised software.

With ISDN-imagephone and videofax being so easily accessible and due to its many integrated sensors, the camera is ideally suited to video surveillance and as an alarm system.

The connection to the viewer can be set up via the integrated Ethernet, ISDN or via an external analog modem and mobile telephone. Optionally a GSM-module can be integrated.

In low power mode a power consumption of 1 watt allows operation from the ISDN-Net without any additional power source. An optional internal accu can provide hours of back-up and thereby save images in the event of a power failure. With a solar panel and an integrated GSM module wireless operation is possible.

The stereo version of the camera opens up a new dimension of image enhancement processing: distance and range. In this way, a camera assigned with a surveillance task can reliably differentiate between thrown shadows, irregularly shaped, or moving objects.

To connect via ISDN, simply plug in the telephone cable. Just replace the phone number of your Internet provider in your browser (Netscape™,Explorer™) with the phone number of the camera and you are connected to the camera.

In building our camera system we kept in mind the future expansion of the system and have used only the most up-to-date components:

• The newest generation of HP's all digital CMOS image-sensors.

• 235 Mips@0.6W INTEL 32-bit-Risc Processor (Strongarm 1110).

• Linux operating system.

• Autofocus lens.

The MOBOTIX camera independently updates pictures on a homepage, without the use of an additional computer. Visual information is therefore immediately available on the Internet, considerably enhancing the attractiveness of the Homepage.

Use of the Web browser provides flexibility in scheduling the transmission of pictures and images, not only at fixed times but also through event-driven incidents, for example, triggering the motion detector, microphone, activiation of contact switch or change in the screen image.

As straightforward as a telephone - all you need for communication and power supply is an ISDN connection. Then, using a Web browser or remote control, simply type in the domain, access code and password.

• Panoramic camera for tourism industry

• Traffic surveillance control

• Car parks in supermarkets and shopping malls

• Discos and theatre

• Open-air concerts and sport events.

The image processor in the camera ensures optimal picture quality and automatically controls brightness, colour, contrast and sharpness. Light variation due to time of day or night is also automatically corrected.

With the complete website loaded into the camera, using an ISDN connection and without an additional server, it can be directly published on the Internet. This feature cuts down costs and allows a high image rate, as well as access to the most current images.
