image quality and smooth motion. The camera
provides the most usable image possible by cleverly
optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio.
Area-based encoding is another feature which reduces
bandwidth. Compression parameters for up to eight
user-definable regions can be set. This allows
uninteresting regions to be highly compressed, leaving
more bandwidth for important parts of the scene.
The average typical optimized bandwidth in kbits/s for
various image rates is shown in the table:

Fast performance
The 60 images-per-second mode provides for optimum
performance in fast action scenes and is particularly
suitable for casino and banking applications.
Multiple streams
The innovative multi-streaming feature delivers various
H.264 streams together with an M‑JPEG stream. These
streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and
recording as well as integration with third-party video
management systems.
An upright mode can be selected for the second
stream. In this mode an image of 400 x 720 (9:16
aspect ratio) is cropped from the full sensor image.
When the scene to be monitored is suitable to this
mode, the bandwidth and storage requirements are
reduced.
Regions of interest and E-PTZ
Regions of Interest (ROI) can be user defined. The
remote E-PTZ (Electronic Pan, Tilt and Zoom) controls
allow you to select specific areas of the parent image.
These regions produce separate streams for remote
viewing and recording. These streams, together with
the main stream, allow the operator to separately
monitor the most interesting part of a scene while still
retaining situational awareness.
For IVA cameras, the Intelligent tracker can also follow
objects within the defined regions of interest. The
Intelligent tracker can autonomously detect and track
moving objects or the user can click on an object
which the Intelligent tracker will then follow.
Simple set-up
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Six configurable
user modes are provided with the best settings for a
variety of applications:
• Indoor – general day-to-night changes without sun
highlights and street lighting
• Outdoor – general day-to-night changes with sun
highlights and street lighting
• Motion – monitoring traffic or fast moving objects;
motion artifacts are minimized
• Lowlight – optimized for sufficient details at low light.
• Intelligent AE – for people moving in front of a bright
background
• Vibrant – enhanced contrast, sharpness and
saturation
Storage management
Recording management can be controlled by the
Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) or the camera
can use iSCSI targets directly without any recording
software.
Edge recording
The MicroSD card slot supports up to 2 TB of storage
capacity. A microSD card can be used for local alarm
recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces
recording bandwidth on the network, or — if microSD
card recording is used — extends the effective life of
the storage medium.
Video analytics
With built-in video content analysis, the camera
reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent. The
video motion analysis system that is built
into all camera versions is the perfect solution for
applications where standard video content analysis
features are required.
The IVA version of the camera uses the latest
generation of the Bosch Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA)
software. This IVA system is the guard-assistant
system of choice when reliable indoor or outdoor
video analytics is needed. The state-of-the-art system
reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes moving objects
while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious
sources in the image.
The face detection feature detects faces in the scene
and forwards a high quality JPEG image of the best
shot of each face when the face disappears from the
scene.
Retrospective forensic search capabilities are available
remotely from the web browser or the Bosch Video
Client.
Cloud-based services
The camera supports time-based or alarm-based JPEG
posting to four different accounts. These accounts can
address FTP servers or cloud-based storage facilities
(for example, Dropbox). Video clips or JPEG images
can also be exported to these accounts.
Alarms can be set up to trigger an e-mail or SMS
notification so you are always aware of abnormal
events.
