MOBOTIX – The HiRes Video
Company
The German company MOBOTIX AG is
known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology and its
decentralized concept has made high-resolution video systems cost
efficient.
Company History
Founded in 1999, Mobotix initially
introduced cameras designed primarily for outdoor and industrial
applications. Since their earliest days - and long before VOIP standards were
established - its cameras have incorporated lip-synchronous audio and
intercom features. In 2001 Mobotix turned to a decentralised system
architecture approach with an eye on the future of high resolution video
surveillance systems. The secret behind its success has been its ability to
position itself uniquely as a network-based solution provider, focused on the
specific hardware and software needs of the different individual sectors of
the security industry and other diverse markets. This targeted thinking has
given Mobotix the competitive edge necessary to maintain its leadership of
the megapixel camera market.
Leading Innovator In Network Camera
Technology
In very little time, MOBOTIX has conquered second place in Europe and
fourth place worldwide in terms of market share. MOBOTIX has been producing
only megapixel cameras for years and, in this area, ranks as the global
market leader in high-resolution video systems with a market share of over
60%

MOBOTIX – Who we are and what we
do
MOBOTIX AG is a supplier of digital high-resolution and
network-based digital video security systems. Headquartered in Langmeil, Germany,
the company was founded as an Aktiengesellschaft (stock corporation) in 1999. To
market the solutions worldwide, MOBOTIX uses distributors and qualified sales
partners in more than 70 countries. MOBOTIX AG currently employs 218 people. Sales
revenue amounted to approximately EUR 45m in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009,
which equals to a growth of approximately 27 percent compared to the previous
fiscal year. The company also boosted its EBIT margin to approx. 23 percent for the
same period. Exports account for more than 68 percent of
sales.
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
decentralized 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 decentralized 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 decentralized
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.
