MOBOTIX MOVE NVR-8B/16B (Mx-S-NVR1B-8/16-POE)

May I connect my M24M to this NVR ?

Hi Flavio,
unfortunately the M24M (released in 2009) cannot be used as a camera on the MOVE NVR-8B/16B.
The NVR expects H.264/H.265 streams from supported MOBOTIX MOVE/IoT cameras or ONVIF-compatible cameras, while the M24M uses the older MxPEG/MJPEG streaming technology and does not provide the required ONVIF video interface.

So even if the M24M can be connected to the network/PoE port, it cannot be added to the NVR for live view and recording.

The M24 does not necessarily need an NVR for recording. It follows the classic MOBOTIX decentralized recording concept, where the camera itself controls recording, events and storage.

Recording can be stored either locally on the camera’s microSD card or directly on an external file server/NAS. The M24 generation was designed with an internal DVR function; typical M24 systems were delivered with a microSD card and support local recording without any permanently running recording server.

The recording itself is configured in the camera, for example under Setup Menu → Recording. You can choose between continuous recording and event recording. With event recording, triggers such as VideoMotion can start the recording and the camera can also store video from before and after the event. The MOBOTIX recording configuration supports pre- and post-alarm recording as well as different frame rates and retention settings.

A simple example would be:
VideoMotion → Event Recording → 10 seconds pre-alarm + 60 seconds after the event.
There is actually a similar example in the MOBOTIX Community where a camera is configured with VideoMotion, 10 s pre-event and 60 s recording time. An important point there is to make sure that no additional events are unintentionally triggering the recording.

Record time by event on mobotix camera

Hello Philippe, yes this should work and produce a recording of total 70 sec in a normal case. Let us check the precondition. 1.You are using the “embedded” camera recording to the Internal SD Card or to an Fileserver which you have setup in the Camera Admin menu! (i want clarify that you are not using any central VMS systems which handle the recording time independently from the camera settings!) 2. You defined in the Setup Dialog under Event Overview the VideoMotion as shown in the image w…

For NAS/file-server recording, the storage destination is configured directly in the camera. The M24/P3 generation can record to an external file server, so the NAS effectively only provides the storage — the camera still decides when and what to record. This is different from a conventional NVR architecture.

The recorded video can then be searched and played back using MxManagementCenter (MxMC). For NAS recordings, MxMC can either access the recordings via the camera, or you can configure a direct file-server path in MxMC so that MxMC reads the archive directly from the NAS. Direct NAS access can improve playback performance because the camera no longer has to act as the intermediary.

How to Define a Direct File Server Path in MxMC (v2.0.1 and Below)

Introduction By default, playback and export of recordings in MxMC is “Via Camera”. This means that MxMC must request the recorded data from the camera, which in turn then accesses the recording from the file server. By defining a direct recording path, MxMC can retrieve the recorded data directly from the file server. By removing the camera as a “middle man” there is a vast impact on reducing the processing load on both the camera and MxMC. This equates to a drastic improvement in performance …

So for an existing M24, I would recommend using the camera’s own SD-card or NAS recording together with MxMC for playback, rather than trying to connect it to the MOVE NVR.

i hope that helps, bye Jörg
