Mobotix Launches S One Dual Camera
Mobotix has launched the S One Dual today, expanding its product portfolio with a highly advanced and exceptionally discreet camera solution designed for demanding application scenarios. As the powerful successor to the proven Mobotix S16, the new camera combines maximum flexibility, high image quality and intelligent video analytics – even under extreme environmental conditions.
The Mobotix S One Dual is purpose-built for discreet applications where conventional cameras are too visible or too exposed. Two high-resolution 4K UHD sensor modules can be connected to the concealed camera housing via cables of several meters in length. This design enables near-invisible integration in vehicles, industrial machinery, barrier systems, production environments or customized enclosures.
Christian Cabirol, CTO of Mobotix AG, said, "We demonstrate with the Mobotix S One Dual how powerful modern video analytics can be when it runs directly on the device. The combination of concealed installation, modular 4K sensor technology and AI-based on-device analytics enables new applications where traditional cameras reach their limits – robust, data-sovereign and uncompromisingly reliable."
The compact camera is purpose-built for industrial use. With IP66 and NEMA-4X certification and an operating temperature range from –40 to +65 °C, the Mobotix S One Dual is ideally suited for harsh environments. Concealed installation provides effective protection against tampering and unauthorized access. The sensor modules have IK10-rated vandal resistance, enabled by a housing design developed exclusively by Mobotix with enhanced lens protection. The integrated mounting plate – with the same drill pattern as the Mobotix S16 – allows for easy system replacement, offering a clear advantage for existing customers and retrofit projects.
A key feature of the Mobotix S One Dual is the standard integrated ActivitySensor One application. This AI-based video analytics solution operates fully on the device, without the need for external servers or cloud connectivity. Movement, people, vehicles, direction of travel, and suspicious loitering are reliably detected – simultaneously on both sensor channels in parallel operation. Intelligent filtering significantly reduces any false alarms caused by rain, lighting changes, shadows, animals, or moving vegetation. The result is low latency, optimized VMS performance and maximum data sovereignty.
The two 1/1.8” sensor modules, each equipped with an integrated microphone, ambient light sensor and RGB status LED, deliver sharp 4K images with a 120 dB wide dynamic range (WDR) and automatic day/night switching. Comprehensive codec support – including H.264, H.265, MxPEG+ and MJPEG – allows an optimal balance between image quality, bandwidth and storage requirements. With up to 2 TB of internal storage and a pre-installed 64 GB micro SD card, the Mobotix S One Dual is also suitable for standalone applications. Power over Ethernet (PoE) with consumption below 10 watts ensures simple and energy-efficient installation.
Designed for discreet applications with the highest requirements, the camera will typically find application in industrial machinery and production facilities, video-controlled access and barrier systems, warehousing and logistics environments, discreet security and surveillance applications or mounted in vehicles such as buses, trains, and special-purpose vehicles.
