Spec Sheet

Calibration is quick and easy – just enter the height of
the camera. The internal gyro/accelerometer sensor
provides the rest of the information to precisely
calibrate the video analytics.
Content Based Imaging Technology
Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) is used to
radically improve image quality in all lighting
conditions and to identify areas for enhanced
processing. The camera examines the scene using
Essential Video Analytics and provides feedback to re-
tune the image processing. This provides better detail
in the areas that matter and better all-round
performance. Intelligent Auto Exposure technology, for
example, allows you to view moving objects in bright
and dark areas of a scene.
Intelligent streaming reduces bandwidth and
storage requirements
The low-noise image and the efficient H.265
compression technology provide clear images while
reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 80%
compared to standard H.264 cameras. With this new
generation of cameras an extra level of intelligence is
added with Intelligent Streaming. The camera provides
the most usable image possible by cleverly optimizing
the detail-to-bandwidth ratio. The smart encoder
continuously scans the complete scene as well as
regions of the scene and dynamically adjust
compression based on relevant information like
movement. Together with Intelligent Dynamic Noise
Reduction, which actively analyzes the contents of a
scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly, bitrates
are reduced by up to 80%. Because noise is reduced at
the source during image capture, the lower bitrate
does not compromise image quality. This results in
substantially lower storage costs and network strain
and still retain a high image quality and smooth
motion.
Area-based encoding
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.
Bitrate optimized profile
The average typical optimized bitrate in kbits/s for
various frame rates when in H.265 mode is shown in
the table:
fps
1080p 720p
30 600 450
12 438 329
5 284 213
2 122 92
Multiple streams
The innovative multi-streaming feature delivers various
H.264 or H.265 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.
The camera can run multiple independent streams that
allows to set a different resolution and frame rate on
the first and second stream. The user can also choose
to use a copy of the first stream.
The third stream uses the I-frames of the first stream
for recording; the fourth stream shows a JPEG image
at a maximum of 10 Mbit/s.
Two-way audio and audio alarm
Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate
with visitors or intruders via an external audio line
input and output. Audio detection can be used to
generate an alarm if needed.
Tamper and motion detection
A wide range of configuration options is available for
alarms signaling camera tampering. A built-in algorithm
for detecting movement in the video can also be used
for alarm signaling.
Storage management
Recording management can be controlled by the
Bosch Video Recording Manager
(Video Recording Manager) 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.
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.
Easy installation
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-
over-Ethernet compliant network cable connection.
With this configuration, only a single cable connection
is required to view, power, and control the camera.
Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost-
effective, as cameras do not require a local power
source.
The camera can also be supplied with power from
+12 VDC/24 VAC power supplies. To increase system
reliability, the camera can be simultaneously
connected to both PoE and +12 VDC/24 VAC supplies.
