Albion Hotel Adelaide security specialist Vision Security Services has launched a new Mobotix internet-enabled camera that eliminates blind spots from room surveillance.

The new MOBOTIX Q24M Hemispheric camera provides a high-resolution 180-degree panoramic image that records from wall to wall without blind spots. This delivers a significantly better room overview than a surveillance system with several individual cameras. One MOBOTIX camera with 3.1 megapixels records around 30 times more detail than a stan¬dard analogue camera.

The Q24M also acts as a remote camera with access via the Internet. With MOBOTIX, a PC is not used to record, but only to view and research images in case of an event. These images can be viewed from any location on earth with a network connection.
