MOBOTIX - HiRes Video Innovations

MOBOTIX AG, with headquarters in Langmeil, Germany, is a software company with in-house hardware development for digital, high-resolution and network-based video security solutions. The company focuses on the development of user-friendly, complete system solutions from a single provider.

MOBOTIX AG is known as the leading pioneer in network camera technology since the founding in 1999, and their decentralised concept has made high resolution video systems cost-efficient. Since 2010, MOBOTIX has been extending their product range to include in-house developed intelligent home automation products. Whether in embassies, airports, railway stations, ports, gas stations, hotels or highways, hundreds of thousands of MOBOTIX video systems have been in operation on every continent for years. To keep up with the high level of demand, MOBOTIX has built a new production facility with an area of 6,000 square meters at the company’s headquarters in Langmeil, Germany, in August 2011.

Market position

In just a short period of time, MOBOTIX has acquired fourth place of the market share. In the EMEA region (“Europe, Middle East, Africa”), the company has a market share of 14.9 percent, making it the second largest in the region. In North and South America, the company is among the ten largest providers of network cameras (eighth place) and in Asia, MOBOTIX is the seventh largest on the market. In the megapixel camera segment, MOBOTIX is the world market leader.

Why high-resolution systems?

The higher the resolution, the more accurate the detail in the image. Analogue cameras generally record images of around 0.1 megapixels (CIF). Yet, one MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail. This makes it possible to record larger image areas, including 360° panoramas, while significantly reducing the number of cameras, and therefore, the costs. For example, four lanes of a gas station may be recorded with one single MOBOTIX camera, instead of the four standard cameras normally required for such a task.
