Intelligence
The FlexiDome Day/Night IP supports increased
intelligence at the edge that provides powerful tamper
detection for various combined picture cases arising
from: video loss, masking, hooding, defocusing, and
diverted camera. Bosch also offers Intelligent Video
Motion Detection (IVMD) as an additional licensable
option. This provides video content analysis (VCA)
directly at the video input for even more advanced
VCA.
H.264 Baseline Profile Encoding
Firmware version 4.0 and higher enables the camera to
use H.264 Baseline Profile to encode the video signal.
This reduces the required bit rate for a given quality
setting, or increases the quality while keeping the bit
rate setting.
Because H.264 Baseline Profile does not support field
encoding, interlaced video is not possible, thus
resolution is limited to a maximum of 2CIF. H.264
encoding requires double the performance in respect
to MPEG‑4. Frame rate values must therefore be
divided by two.
MPEG-4 Video Encoding
The FlexiDome MPEG-4 encoder creates high-quality
streaming video at low bit rates, minimizing bandwidth
and storage requirements, which further reduces
costs. Each FlexiDome IP camera can deliver up to 25
and 30 images per second (PAL and NTSC) at true
4CIF video resolution.
ONVIF
ONVIF (Open Network video Interface Forum)
compliancy ensures integration with third party
management systems and video network devices.
Tri-streaming Video
FlexiDome IP cameras can generate two separate H.
264/MPEG-4 video streams and one JPEG stream
simultaneously, while giving access to five users at a
time. This advanced tri-streaming capability, not
typically found in other IP CCTV systems, enables the
user to optimize live viewing and recording
requirements to meet specific site and enterprise
needs. For example, BOSCH Video over IP Systems
(BVIP) can be configured to record video at one
quality setting (e.g. 3.75 IPS at 2CIF), while
simultaneously providing live images at the best
possible image quality (e.g. 30 IPS at 4CIF).
Alternatively, the system deliver a high bandwidth, H.
264/MPEG-4 stream to a local LAN user, while
simultaneously streaming a low bandwidth H.264/
MPEG-4 stream to a remote user over a WAN
connection, while using the JPEG stream for remote
viewing, for instance, on a PDA.
Power Options
Three power options, PoE, 24 VAC (12 to 28 VAC) and
12 VDC (+11 to +36 VDC), are available on the
NWD-495. Utilizing PoE makes installation easier and
more cost-effective, since cameras do not require a
local AC power source. Additionally, they can use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which will allow
continuous operation, even during a power failure, e.g.
in emergencies.
OSD-based Network Set-up
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. Unlike other IP cameras,
no network connection, PC configuration utilities, or
other tools are required to set up FlexiDome IP.
Recording
The FlexiDome IP cameras offer unparalleled recording
options – network-attached utilizing iSCSI devices,
and of course centrally, using network video recorders
(NVRs). The iSCSI RAID 5 storage support enables a
camera to act as a conventional DVR, while streaming
high-performance live video across the network. The
cameras also offer 10 Mb internal RAM storage.
