For years Mobotix has struggled but now sales are surging driven by Mobotix's thermal camera sales as a response to coronavirus, with both their parent company Konica Minolta and US giant Dell marketing Mobotix. But how well does it work?
We bought and tested Mobotix's M16 thermal/visible camera, examining:
Mobotix's multiple measurement methods with and without blackbody
How Mobotix initial installation and configuration differs from others
How Mobotix marketing and engineering recommendations differ and how it impacts performance
How hats, masks, and glasses impact temperature measurement
How the cameras integrate with third party VMS

Additionally,Mobotix recommends that subjects pause for 1-2 seconds for measurement and do not continue moving for best accuracy. When measuring subjects on the move, reported temperature dropped significantly.
