software. The recording capabilities of the system can
be further enhanced by using the Bosch Video
Recording Manager.
The camera also supports local recording on a
microSD card. This can be used for local alarm
recording or for Automatic Network Replenishment
(ANR) to improve the overall reliability of video
recording.
Standard intelligence
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, which is built
into all camera versions, is the perfect solution for
applications where basic video content analysis
features are required. This motion analysis algorithm is
based on pixel change and includes object size
filtering capabilities and sophisticated tamper-
detection capabilities.
Hardware enhanced
The hardware-enhanced version of the camera gives
you the opportunity to upgrade the video content
analysis features of the camera with the more
advanced Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) option. This
option bases the IVA algorithm on digital imaging
technology that uses multi-level image analysis of
pixels, texture, and object direction, and is activated
by installing a license.
ONVIF conformance
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. ONVIF conformant devices
are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and
control information. They are automatically discovered
and connected to network applications such as video
management systems.
Tough design
The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate dome, and
hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of
55 kg (120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the
full-featured camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal
for outdoor use, the cameras are protected against
water and dust to IP 66 (NEMA‑4X) standards. The
camera enclosure provides the extra protection
necessary for applications such as schools, banks,
prisons, parking garages, retail and industrial
buildings.
Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes
completely assembled and ready to use. Using the
proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can
select the exact field of view. Mounting options are
numerous, including surface, wall, corner and
suspended ceiling. The compact, sleek design and
virtually flush-mount appearance complements any
decor.
Unsurpassed flexibility
There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on
a PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, or with the Bosch Video Client.
The camera is also ideal for use with a
Divar 700 Series digital video recorder. By routing a
video stream to a Bosch video decoder, you can also
present the video with ultimate clarity on an analog
monitor.
Cost effective, simple installation
Three power options, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet),
24 VAC and 12 VDC are available. Using PoE makes
installation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras
do not require a local power source. To increase
system reliability, the camera can be simultaneously
connected to both PoE and 12 VDC/24 VAC supplies.
Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
be used which allow continuous operation even during
a power failure.
For trouble free network cabling, the cameras support
Auto-MDIX.
FlexiDome IP cameras can be configured using the
control buttons on the camera as an alternative to
configuration over IP. Network parameters and basic
camera set-up, such as lens set-up and back focus, are
quickly and easily performed using the on-screen
displays (OSD) and analog video service output.
Easy Upgrade
Remotely upgrade the camera whenever new firmware
becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products,
thus protecting investment with little effort.
Access Security
Various security levels are available for accessing the
network, the camera, and the data channels. As well
as password protection with three levels, 802.1x
authentication using a RADIUS is supported. To secure
Web browser access use HTTPS with a SSL certificate
stored in the camera. For total data protection, the
video and audio communication channels can be
independently AES encrypted with 128‑bit keys by
installing the optional Encryption Site License.
