Day/Night switching
In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing
by switching the IR (infrared) filter out of the optical
path and providing a monochrome image. The camera
can switch from color to monochrome mode automati-
cally by sensing the illumination level, manually via the
alarm input, or remotely via a web browser. An inter-
nal, through-the-lens IR detector enhances mono-
chrome mode stability by preventing the camera from
returning to color mode when IR-illumination is domi-
nant.
Privacy masking
Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a
scene to be blocked. A mask for any part of the scene
can be pre-programmed.
Default Shutter
The default shutter speed captures fast moving ob-
jects when sufficient light is available. When light lev-
els fall and other adjustments have been exhausted,
the shutter speed reverts to a standard setting to
maintain sensitivity.
SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on
the CCD, the effective sensitivity is dramatically en-
hanced. This is especially useful when relying only on
moonlight for illumination.
Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The cameras use H.264 (Main Profile) compression,
bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to
manage bandwidth and storage requirements efficient-
ly, while delivering high image quality and resolution.
Bosch's innovative Quad-streaming feature enables the
Dinion2X IP to deliver three H.264 streams (two 4CIF
streams and an I‑frame only stream) together with an
M‑JPEG stream. These four streams facilitate band-
width-efficient viewing and recording options as well
as integration with third-party video management sys-
tems.
Dinion2X IP cameras offer unparalleled recording op-
tions. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI tar-
gets directly without any additional recording soft-
ware. 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 mi-
croSD card. This can be used for local alarm recording
or for Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) to im-
prove the overall reliability of video recording.
Standard intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, the camera rein-
forces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent. The MO-
TION+ video motion analysis system, which is built into
all camera versions, is the perfect solution for applica-
tions where basic video content analysis features are
required. This motion analysis algorithm is based on
pixel change and includes object size filtering capabili-
ties and sophisticated tamper-detection capabilities.
Hardware enhanced
The hardware-enhanced version of the camera gives
you the opportunity to upgrade the video content anal-
ysis features of the camera with the more advanced In-
telligent 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 li-
cense.
ONVIF conformance
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products re-
gardless 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.
Unsurpassed flexibility
There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on
a PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video Man-
agement 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 in-
stallation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras
do not require a local power source. To increase sys-
tem reliability, the camera can be simultaneously con-
nected to both PoE and 12 VDC/24 VAC supplies. Ad-
ditionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
be used, which will allow continuous operation, even
during a power failure.
For trouble free network cabling, the cameras support
Auto-MDIX.
Dinion IP cameras have a service mode for easy instal-
lation using the control buttons and an analog video
output on the camera as an alternative to configura-
tion over IP. The service mode is simply activated by
pressing a button on the camera. This routes the video
to the analog output, bypassing the IP video output.
The On-Screen Display (OSD) simplifies back focus ad-
justment and network configuration, minimizing instal-
lation and support costs. The Lens Wizard automatical-
ly detects the lens type and helps focus the lens at the
maximum opening to maintain proper focus.
