Mobotix cameras provide excellent quality video. Their outdoor models are particularly interesting because no environmental housing is required and since they are POE ready you can run a single cable. POE is normally not possible when using housings with heaters and fans (although there are now environmenal POE housings coming to market). So outdoor installation is easy. There are models with dual image sensors which can be stitched together into a 180 degree field of view. So you can get a lot of coverage with a singe camera. On the negative side, the cameras use either MJPEF or Mobotix own MXPEG, both of which are very data intensive compared to MPEG-4. As these are megapixel cameras they will generate a huge amount of data, i.e., bandwidth and data storage usage. We see these as very application specific cameras rather than main stream. They are expensive on a unit cost basis but provide compelling economics for many applications.
