3. Introduction
The new MIC IP 7000 HD family is based on the latest imaging platform that offers exceptional
low-light sensitivity in the MIC IP starlight 7000 HD (720p) cameras. The MIC IP dynamic 7000 HD
(1080p) version has a Wide dynamic Range (WDR) to ensure you see details in bright and dark areas
simultaneously. With the addition of the latest intelligent features like Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA)
[9], Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (IDNR) [6], and Intelligent Defog, the MIC IP 7000 HD is one
of the best cameras for any challenging outdoor application.
While the camera can directly connect to an IP network for live viewing and recording, it also offers
installers the flexibility to integrate the MIC IP 7000 HD family into an analog CCTV system. This
allows customers to use the high-performance features of MIC IP 7000 HD cameras in existing analog
infrastructure without investing in an entire system upgrade.
This tech note explains how to integrate the Bosch MIC IP 7000 HD camera series into any existing
analog CCTV system using the Bosch VIDEOJET decoder 3000. The most common integration
scenarios are listed below:
•
Simple integration using direct connectivity to analog monitor and joystick, typically found in
single camera installation (for example, mobile surveillance vehicles)
•
Integration into an existing analog matrix switcher typically found in large installations (such as
for city surveillance)
3.1 Technical solution
1. Protocol
Licence
: For all solutions using non-Bosch serial protocols, a special eLicense for each
MIC camera is required to enable support for serial control. The part number for the eLicense is
“MVS-FCOM-PRCL”. The eLicense must be installed before the MIC camera will respond to
non-Bosch protocols.
2. Video Decoding Solution:
The HD video from the MIC IP 7000 HD series can be converted to an
analog video signal by using the VIDEOJET decoder 3000. The VIDEOJET decoder 3000 can
receive the HD video stream from the MIC IP camera through a direct network connection and
can convert the video into a standard PAL or NTSC video signal. The VIDEOJET decoder 3000
then can be connected to an analog monitor or a switching device like a matrix switcher. With
legacy display equipment, the decoder allows the installer to select a 4:3 aspect ratio for easy
integration.
3. Telemetry control using decoder:
The MIC IP 7000 HD series firmware has built-in protocol
converter software that receives analog telemetry commands in Bosch OSRD, Pelco P/D, or
Forward Vision protocol to translate them, allowing full-camera control over IP.
The next section explains the typical integration scenario when the MIC IP 7000 HD is used in an
analog environment.
