MxControlCenter is a Mobotix
software program provided by MOBOTIX for professional
video and alarm management. MxControlCenter is able to
display and store 30 frames per second each for up to 30
cameras on a standard PC, whereby the users are not
required to pay any charges or licensing fees -
downloading the
program is completely free of charge. And it's a
full-scale version without any restrictions for the users
or the number of cameras. Mobotix MxControlCenter is also
capable of a Multiview display using different picture
formats. The integrated layout editor can be used to
easily implement building floor plans with drag-and-drop.
Additionally, Mobotix MxControlCenter supports the
interconnection of remote cameras as well as all the audio
functions for the MOBOTIX cameras.
High-Speed Control Center Included
The number of cameras which can be displayed is only limited
by the computer performance and screen size. Run on a normal
PC (Pentium IV/3.2 GHz), the Mobotix MxControlCenter
supports about 900 fps (frames per second) in CIF format.
This capacity is sufficient for 30 live cameras delivering
30 fps including audio. These 30 cameras can also be
arranged in a 6 x 5 grid on a large TFT screen with a
resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels (such as the Samsung 243T)
in CIF format (320 x 240 pixels).
The Quantity Makes All The Difference
The high-speed display is far from being a complete
high-speed system because whilst many systems can display
one or a handful of cameras live at 30 fps, the image rate
quickly drops at over 5 cameras. By contrast, the Mobotix
MxControlCenter displays live images from 30 cameras with
ease. What's more, the delay (latency) between the event in
front of the camera and its display on the screen is much
shorter in the MxControlCenter than in other systems.
Integrated Site Map
MxControlCenter also includes a layout editor. It can be
used to define 20 different multiview layouts with cameras
in five different format sizes. In principle, there is no
limit on the number of cameras per screen. JPEG images can
be loaded as the background for each layout in the ground
plan, and the cameras of variable size can be dragged and
dropped there. Alarms can be displayed visually or by means
of an acoustic signal. As the user rolls the mouse over the
camera display, the live image is enlarged.
Alarms Always Come Into View
Immediately
The MxControlCenter's alarm list function (in the film strip
on the left) allows events and live snapshots to be stored
on the local PC. The event alarms in the list can be
displayed in image form in two sizes or in text form with
the camera name and alarm time. In addition, the time which
has elapsed since the alarm is also shown for each event. It
remains highlighted in red until the alarms are acknowledged
with a click of the mouse. The alarms can be verified
quickly and easily with the automatic zoom function, when
the mouse is rolled over the event. Clicking the mouse on
the alarm image automatically activates the preferential
layout assigned to the camera which is triggering the alarm.
The layout then contains the relevant site map, showing any
other cameras sited there. For more information go to
control center.
Remote Cut-In Control Center
MOBOTIX cameras come as standard with all the functions
required for automatic, event-controlled access to a control
center. Access can take place via ISDN, a network or the
Internet. If events occur, the cameras transmit a message
via the network to the control center computer which then
saves the event image, creates a live image, brings it into
the foreground of the monitor, where possible, and sends an
acoustic signal to the user. For more information got to
control center.
