MOBOTIX S16 Network Camera Firmware 5.0.0.127 Description

Highlights:

- Dual-core "Mx6" processor
- ONVIF compatibility
- H.264 compatibility

Enhancements and Improvements

Higher Frame Rates

As mentioned above, the Mx6 models display noticeably higher frame rates with less variation as in the P3 camera models. This is mainly due to the higher computational power of the dual-core processor. The frame rate can reach 42 fps when using HD image size (1280x720), the MxPEG video codec and Normal image quality:
Note: Select the Fast image program from the Quick Controls to automatically apply all settings that result in the highest possible frame rate.

RTP Streaming, H.264 and Genetec Integration

To integrate these camera models into other video management systems, you can use RTP streaming, H.264 and a special Genetec integration interface. Open the Admin Menu > Camera Administration > Integration Protocols dialog and activate the RTP Server and/or Genetec options to use these features.
Notes:
- The maximum image size of an H.264 RTP stream is limited to QXGA (2048x1536).
- As a matter of fact, the Mx6 cameras can be integrated into the Genetec Security Center, even though they have not been certified accordingly.

ONVIF Integration

This is the first software release to support the ONVIF standard; it complies with many basic features of this global and open communication standard. Currently, the following ONVIF features or codecs and protocols are supported: Discovery Service, Digest Authentication, Scope Management, Profile with Reset via Web UI, H.264, M-JPEG, RTP, TCP, HTTP.

Open the Admin Menu > Camera Administration > Integration Protocols dialog and activate the ONVIF option to activate the integrated ONVIF support. If you activate the ONVIF Discovery Service in this dialog, you can also define ONVIF Scopes and show or delete the ONVIF Profiles created by an ONVIF video management system.

Bugfixes

The bugfixes described in the following refer to the software releases prior to release V5.0.0.127 that had been delivered with the first Mx6 camera models.
- Recording on SMB/CIFS file server
When using an SMB/CIFS file server as primary recording target (with MX folder/file structure) or as MxFFS archive, the camera sometimes could not connect to the file server.
- Several RTP H.264 streams
When requesting more than one RTP H.264 stream, the additional streams sometimes displayed image errors.
- RTP server and storage on file server as primary target
When recording on a file server as primary storage target (MX folder/file structure) and activating the RTP server, a camera reboot sometimes deleted the recorded video data.

Known Limitations

- SIP video
This release does not support SIP video. This feature will be available again in a later release.

About Network Camera Firmware:

Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your network camera can improve the device’s overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones.

On the other hand, downgrading the camera’s firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty, or the device’s performance dropped after an upgrade. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible.

Changing the camera’s firmware must be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has encountered or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful to you.

As for the installation method, the steps vary depending on the model you own, but basically, you must connect your camera via an Ethernet cable (username and password required), and use the downloadable file in the Firmware Update section to upgrade your device. Make sure you do not interrupt the installation process.

However, make sure you carefully read and understand the installation steps so that you don’t end up with a broken device. This process isn’t intended to be destructive, but still, it’s best to save all configurations before applying a different firmware.

That being said, if you consider that this firmware improves your device in any way, then hit the download button and get the desired version; if not, check our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will boost your camera’s performance. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
