Housing Mobotix MX-M73A-LSA

The Mobotix MX-M73A-LSA is a modular IP camera housing (body) that forms part of the MOBOTIX 7 system platform. It supports connection of up to three additional functional and optical sensor modules (ordered separately) and complies with ONVIF (Profiles S and T). The unit provides up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) image size per sensor with wide dynamic range (up to 120 dB), an internal 8 GB microSD for MxPEG+ recordings, and a robust weatherproof aluminium/PBT-30GF housing in white. Power is supplied via PoE (Class 4, IEEE 802.3af/at), with maximum power consumption of 25 W.

Advantages

The MX-M73A-LSA offers a flexible modular design for adding audio, PIR, temperature and brightness sensors, IR illumination modules and various optical modules, enabling tailored camera configurations. It supports multiple video codecs (H.264, H.265, MxPEG+, M-JPEG) and triple streaming for efficient recording and live streaming. The housing meets IP66 and IK07 protection ratings and operates across a wide temperature range (-40 to 65 °C), making it suitable for demanding outdoor installations. A software interface for MOBOTIX Certified Apps with several demo apps preinstalled extends functionality through deep-learning based analytics.

Suitable for

• Outdoor surveillance in industrial and commercial environments
• Flexible CCTV systems requiring modular sensor expansion
• Installations needing high-resolution 4K imaging with wide dynamic range
• Sites where PoE-powered, weatherproof cameras are required

How to use

Install the MX-M73A-LSA housing on a suitable mounting surface and connect network cabling to the LSA weatherproof terminal (Ethernet 1000BaseT). Fit required MOBOTIX sensor or optical modules (sold separately) into the three module interfaces and make any necessary I/O or audio line connections. Power the unit over PoE (Class 4) from a compatible switch or injector. Configure the camera and modules via the MOBOTIX 7 software interface or ONVIF-compatible VMS, select desired codecs and recording options, and manage storage on the internal microSD or network storage as required.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, use correctly rated PoE power sources, ensure firmware and MOBOTIX Certified Apps are kept up to date, and choose compatible MOBOTIX modules for the required functions (audio, IR, MultiSense, optical lenses). Follow IP66 installation practices (sealed cable entries and appropriate mounting) when installing outdoors.
