MOBOTIX VMS: Finding the Right Fit Between MxManagementCenter and MOBOTIX HUB

by Geny Caloisi

Choosing a video management system (VMS) is not about preference – it’s about matching the right technology to your operational needs. MOBOTIX offers two distinct yet complementary solutions: MxManagementCenter (MxMC) and MOBOTIX HUB. Each platform is designed to provide security professionals with flexibility, reliability, and the control they need to manage modern surveillance environments effectively.

MxManagementCenter (MxMC): Secure and Server-Free

MxManagementCenter, or MxMC, is MOBOTIX’s free premium VMS solution, created specifically for its German-engineered cameras. Its standout feature is its 100% decentralised architecture, meaning there is no single point of failure and no need for costly servers. Recording happens directly within each camera, ensuring maximum data security and eliminating reliance on external infrastructure.

Administrators benefit from integrated camera group configuration, reducing setup time and simplifying ongoing management. The latest version, MxMC 2.9.2.2, includes improved event search capabilities and optimised playback tools, reinforcing MOBOTIX’s focus on continual software evolution. Optional extensions further enhance MxMC’s adaptability, offering a straightforward yet powerful platform for installations where reliability, privacy, and cost efficiency are top priorities.

MOBOTIX HUB: Scalable and Feature-Rich

For larger or more complex environments requiring multi-vendor integration, MOBOTIX HUB offers a scalable, centralised solution. Compatible with over 10,500 devices from a wide range of manufacturers, HUB is ideal for hybrid systems, enterprise-level networks, and multi-user access control scenarios.

Delivered with 11 free plug-ins – including Forensic Search, Thermal Dashboard, SYNC Dashboard, Video Wall, Access Control, NurseAssist, Transact, and Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) – MOBOTIX HUB provides a suite of advanced analytical and operational tools within a single, unified interface. The flexible licensing model ensures users only pay for the functionality they need, supporting both small deployments and large-scale surveillance operations.

Tailored Decisions Made Simple

To help users identify the best fit for their specific environment, MOBOTIX offers an interactive VMS Navigator – a practical tool that matches system capabilities to real-world requirements. Installers and users can also experience the system’s capabilities firsthand with a free 30-day trial of MOBOTIX HUB L2–L5.
