MOBOTIX is a German camera manufacturer that pioneered the "decentralized" surveillance approach: cameras with on-board intelligence, storage, and analytics — no NVR, no cloud, no external compute required. The Q71 represents their hemispheric platform: true 360° coverage from a single fixed camera.

360° Hemispheric Coverage

A single Q71 can replace 4-6 conventional cameras in an interior space. The dewarped view provides full room coverage with PTZ capability in the dewarp software. No moving parts means no maintenance, no failure modes from mechanical wear.

MOBOTIX Decentralized Architecture

Each camera includes on-board MxFFS flash storage (up to 64GB), edge-side MOBOTIX App analytics, and direct access via MOBOTIX Management Center. No NVR, no cloud subscription, no external compute.
