VMS for mobotix

Recommended Posts

Hello

i'm tired about MxCC and it's constant bugs

i need a VMS software that could manage correctly Mobotix cameras :

Mxpeg support

audio support

a good search method like MxCC 2.5 pre-saved sequences quick search

 

i tried milestone

 

pros :

good bandwith management

audio support

mxpeg support

 

cons:

no event search list within a defined time interval

weird export using non database format

no direct picture export (like a right click on picture > save snapshot)

problems with the new sequence record search (with mobotix cams, one sequence is generated every 1.5 sec whereas it works fine with my axis q241 encoder)

 

i also tried avigilon but i have other problems:

 

pros :

cool event search and timeline search

simple and efficient layout

motion detection is based on the camera internal motion detection system

 

cons :

no audio support

weird bandwith management (8Mb/sec for my 5 mobotix cams whereas Milestone used only 2.5mb/sec)

 

do you another recording VMS that could suite my needs?

Avigilon only supports MJPEG from Mobotix so that is why the bandwidth is higher. Unfortunately you lose most of the advantages that Mobotix has when you use 3rd party software. If Mobotix MxCC was like Avigilon ACC that would be a killer package.

Let me know what you find. I use Avigilon every day with a Mobotix Q24 for my demo system and it works fantastic but if you need audio your SOL.

 

How many Mobitix cameras do you have and what are you using the audio for?

i have 5 M12 for outdoor surveillance of our shop, i need audio to know what people are saying

 

Are you in the US? I strongly recommend you check your local laws when you think about recording audio. You can get into some serious legal trouble.

Sorry to bring up an older topic, but you do have the option to monitor live audio and not record it. I am not sure if that gets you around the legalities, but Mobotix cameras do have that option.
