Mobotix M12 DevKit questions

[Bouci 0]

Hi,

 

I just purchased the Mobotix devkit below:

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Kamera-Mobotix-Zubehor-M12-DevKit-Modul-Metall-Nachtsensor-ohne-Objektiv-/330997695257?ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:IE:1123

 

If I understand correctly, I will need to also buy a PoE-injector for power, a SD card for storage and a compatible lens. I'd like to install the lens/sensor unit concealed near an entrance door so this means I also need to get the Mobotix MxLink - DevKit Extension Set (see http://www.mobotix.com/eng_GB/Products/Cameras/M12-DevKit?tab=37543#tab). Am i doing this right?

 

This unit has a dual sensor & dual lens capability so if I wish to take advantage of that, I'll need another lens/sensor unit plus one more Mxlink Extension Set. I have never installed one of these so I'd like to know how difficult is it to later add that second lens/sensor combo?

 

Another thing that concerns me is connecting the Mobotix to my WLAN in the house. Is that difficult and what is required for it? Are there wireless units that can be attached to the PoE unit for example, or how should I go about this?

 

Thanks for any help!

Yes, you'll need a PoE injector or switch, SD card if you want to store on the card, but you can have it write to a NAS if you want. But you will need at least one (takes 2) sensor/lens, this is what they look like - https://www.mobotix.com/other/Products/Cameras/M12-DevKit/M12-DevKit-Board

 

They come in day only color 3MP and night only B&W 1.2MP. So you need both if you want day/night capability.

Hi. Before you spend more money I would take the time and cost to have your ebay item tested first.

 

Buying mobotix secondhand can be an expensive exercise.

Specially if it's used and you don't know the password as I believe to get a password reset, besides maybe paying 200 euro, you have prove ownership.
