COMPUTERLINKS is a distributor for MOBOTIX HiRes Video Surveillance CCTV cameras for the UK and Ireland.

MOBOTIX AG is a technologically advanced supplier of high-resolution, network-based digital video security systems. MOBOTIX products are available through qualified sales partners in more than 70 countries. 

MOBOTIX camera systems use digital data transfer over computer networks and are not restricted by the low 0.4 megapixel image resolutions of the old analog video standard. The decentralised system architecture developed by MOBOTIX provides for image processing to take place in the actual cameras rather than in the central PC. This means that each camera independently detects movements in the image, stores them in a database and reports the event via e-mail or a VoIP telephone call. This decentralised structure reduces the load on the network, and the central video management system permits higher image rates and reduces the storage capacity required to record high-resolution video.

Their affordable decentralised architecture makes MOBOTIX video security systems ideal for a wide range of different applications from smaller installations of just a few cameras linked via the internet to large-scale surveillance applications involving hundreds of cameras using central control centers. MOBOTIX systems are already in use at airports, train stations, universities and logistics centers as well as in industrial applications for remote monitoring and automation. There are currently some 100,000 MOBOTIX cameras at work around the world.

Cost Benefits

Innovation reduces investment costs

All MOBOTIX cameras reduce system costs because high resolution doesn't just produce reliable evidence, it also saves money.

Increased resolution reduces amount of cameras needed

1536 line, high resolution sensors give a better overview and allow monitoring an entire room with just one camera from the corner

Reduced installation costs at any distance

Standard Ethernet connection enables the use of common network components such as fiber, copper and wireless (WLAN)

Intelligent recording technology reduces required storage

Decentralized recording technology in the camera software puts less strain on PCs and reduces the amount of storage PCs (DVRs) by 10 times

Event-controlled image rate minimizes storage cost

Event-driven, automatically adjusted recording frame rate based on event or sensor action reduces amount of data and storage costs

No additional power and no heating required

Anti-fogging without heating allows usage of standard PoE technology to power the system via network and saves costs of power cabling

Backup power requirement reduced by 8 times

Low power consumption, 3 Watt, enables year-round (no heating required) PoE with one centralized UPS from installation room via network

Robust and practically maintenance free

Fiberglass-reinforced composite housing with built-in cable protection and no mechanical moving parts (no autoiris) guarantees longevity

No software and no license costs

Control and recording software is integrated in the camera and is free of charge; new functions are available via free software downloads

Unlimited scalability and high return on investment

While in use, more cameras and storage can be added at any time; image format, frame rate and recording parameters can be camera specific

Additional functions and other extras included

Audio support, lens, wall mount and weatherproof housing (-30° to +60°C, -22° to +140°F) included; microphone and speaker available in certain models
