Cameras
Features
1/3-inch color CCD with progressive scan
Tri-streaming: Dual H.264 and M-JPEG simultaneously
Intelligence at the edge
ONVIF conformant
High-impact, vandal-resistant enclosure
FlexiDome IP cameras are progressive scan CCD color
cameras in a compact, high-impact rated, vandal-resistant
housing.
They can tri-stream video simultaneously — on two H.264
streams and one M-JPEG stream. Features such as
multicasting, internet streaming and iSCSI recording are
fully supported. FlexiDome IP cameras have built-in video
motion detection and additional processing power for
video content analysis systems.
FlexiDome IP cameras include picture performance
enhancements such as NightSense for low-light scenes
and Autoblack for low contrast scenes.
Supported by the award-winning Dinion digital imaging
technology, they provide a proven, dependable solution
for many security and surveillance requirements.
Functions
Progressive scan
To capture sharp images, even in busy scenes with high
motion content, the Dinion camera uses progressive scan
technology.
A quality image
With a 1/3-inch color CCD and Bosch’s advanced digital
signal processing, the FlexiDome IP provides professional
image quality. Automatically activate the NightSense
feature to extend sensitivity under low-light conditions by
a factor of three in monochrome operation. Autoblack
improves the overall contrast of an image in low contrast
scenes, such as foggy weather conditions.
Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The cameras use H.264 compression, bandwidth
throttling, and multicasting capabilities to manage
bandwidth and storage requirements efficiently, while
delivering high image quality and resolution. The
bandwidth of an H.264 stream using Main profile at 4CIF
resolution is about the same as one MPEG-4 stream at
2CIF resolution. Bosch's innovative tri-streaming feature
enables FlexiDome IP cameras to generate two
independent H.264 streams and one M-JPEG stream
simultaneously. This allows streaming of high-quality H.
264 images for live viewing and recording while streaming
M-JPEG images to another device at the same time. The
M-JPEG video stream also provides easy integration with
third-party JPEG or M-JPEG-compatible video
management systems.
FlexiDome IP cameras offer unparalleled recording
options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI
targets directly, as well as Network Video Recorders
(NVRs). The iSCSI storage target support enables the
cameras to function as a conventional DVR, while
streaming high-performance live video across the network.
Standard intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, the camera reinforces
the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices
become increasingly intelligent. The MOTION+ video
motion analysis system, that 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.
