MOBOTIX MxMultiSense: Beyond motion detection

The Passive Infra-Red Sensor (PIR) has been a common part of a security installer’s kit bag for many years; yet these sensors are normally just used to detect movement, which is somewhat limiting. MOBOTIX MxMultiSense offers an innovative alternative. Available in indoor and weatherproof outdoor models, the new 4-way sensor connected via MxBus can be used in combination with a MOBOTIX camera to read specific sensor values.

Additional sensor features

Along with movement detection, each MxMultiSense can also measure noise, temperature and brightness. Various sensors readings can be used individually or combined as desired with event logic to perform intelligent functions. This can include traditional motion detection for alarm activation, along with more advanced automation functions such as turning on or off lights triggered on the Lux level or external heaters based on temperature. With a low power consumption of 0.1 Watt and compatibility with a wide range of signal receiving devices via MxBus, MxMultiSense makes it possible to cost-effectively extend camera installations and monitor areas which cannot be covered by cameras.
