MIC-7230 Descrip
The MIC IP starlight 7000 HD camera has an advanced PTZ platform that was
designed using Bosch’s domain expertise in material engineering, mechanical
design, intelligent imaging, and video streaming.
The camera complies to some of the toughest industry standards such as IP68,
NEMA 6P, and IK10 for extreme mechanical strength and durability.
The camera is designed using the latest technology in intelligent imaging and
video streaming. Thanks to the intelligent encoding and Content-Based Imaging
Technology (CBIT), the HD module delivers highresolution video even under
challenging light conditions at very low bit rates.
MIC-7230 Functions
Exceptional low-light performance
The latest sensor technology combined with the sophisticated noise suppression
results in an exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-light performance is so
good that the camera continues to provide excellent color performance even with
a minimum of ambient light.
Ruggedized design for extreme applications
The camera is designed to last in surveillance applications that are beyond the
mechanical capabilities of normal PTZ domes or conventional positioning systems.
The complete metal body has been engineered to withstand high-impact or
continuous low-frequency vibration. The camera models comply to IK10 rating for
impact resistance and to the IEC 60068 standards applicable to vibration and
shock.
With a temperature range of -40 °C to +60 °C (-40 °F to +140 °F), the camera is
designed specifically for use in extreme environments around the world. The
camera benefits from Bosch Automotive domain knowledge in material engineering
and coatings. As a result, the superior metallurgy and the finish of the camera
provide unprecedented protection against corrosion. The camera has been tested
for 2000 hours of salt spray per the ASTM B117 standard.
Intelligence
With built-in video content analysis (VCA), the camera reinforces the
Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices become increasingly
intelligent.
The camera comes with the state-of-the-art VCA method by Bosch, Intelligent
Video Analytics, that reliably detects, and analyzes moving objects while
suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image.
With this method, the camera is able to detect idle and removed objects as well
as loitering, multiple line crossing, and trajectories. This method also
supports BEV (Bird’s Eye View) People counting.
Intelligent Tracking
The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics to follow an
individual or an object continuously.
When Intelligent Video Analytics detects objects while the camera is in a
stationary position, the camera activates the Intelligent Tracking feature. This
feature controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to track the objects
and keep them in view in the scene. The new Intelligent Tracking is based on
robust flow detection algorithms which can reliably track moving objects even
under challenging scenes.
The tracking and detection reliability can be enhanced further with virtual
masking for scenes with a lot of background motion such as trees or other
objects creating constant motion in the scene. The camera supports three modes
for Intelligent Tracking:
Auto mode: When configured in this mode, the camera actively analyzes the video
to detect any moving object. If it detects movement, it begins to track the
object. This mode is most useful for scenarios where normally no motion is
expected.
One Click mode: In this mode, users can click an object moving in the live video
image to enable the camera to track the movement of the selected object. This
mode is most useful for scenarios where normal scene activity is expected.
Triggered mode: In this mode, the camera continuously analyzes the scene for
alarms or rule violations. If a rule is violated, it triggers the advanced
tracking feature of the camera to start following the object / person that
triggered the alarm.
This unique combination of robust Intelligent Video Analytics and Intelligent
Tracking allows the camera to track moving objects of interest without getting
distracted by other moving objects in the scene.
Virtual masking
The camera offers Virtual Masking, which gives users flexibility to mask parts
of the scene which should not be considered for flow analysis to trigger
Intelligent Tracking. This allows users to mask from IVA/Tracking any background
motion (moving trees, pulsating lights, and busy roads) in the scene without
blocking the motion from the video.
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 intelligent video analytics and
provides feedback to retune the image processing. This provides better detail in
the areas that matter and better all-round performance.
High-performance imaging platforms
Image control and quality are integral aspects of any PTZ camera, and the camera
delivers outstanding clarity and image detail.
The camera has a professional-grade imaging platform capable of delivering
1080p25/30 HD resolution in environments with ambient light extremes. The camera
also has a 30x optical zoom lens (12x digital zoom) and flexible mounting
options (upright, inverted, or canted) to achieve the perfect field of view.
Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make the camera an
exceptional performer in all lighting conditions. In low light, the camera
automatically switches from color to monochrome by removing the IR filter to
boost sensitivity, while maintaining superior image quality. For operation in
the darkest conditions, automatic control of shutter speeds increases
sensitivity by more than 50 times.
Intelligent Defog
Users can configure the mode to be active continuously, or to activate
automatically when the video analytics in the camera detect fog and add light to
the video image (and then deactivate when the fog clears or the scene changes).
Superior privacy masking
The camera provides 24 individual, easy to configure privacy masks, with up to 8
displayed in the same scene. As the camera is zoomed, each mask changes size
smoothly and quickly, ensuring that the covered object cannot be seen in most
cases.
Integrated wiper
Thanks to its integrated, long-lasting wiper, the MIC camera captures images of
the highest quality all year long, regardless of the weather.
Pan and tilt drive and mechanism
The pan and tilt mechanism is a ruggedized, directdrive system. The brushless
motors directly control the pan and tilt movement using a finely-tuned gear
train designed to minimize backlash and support continuous operation without
significant wear and tear.
The camera has a closed-loop position control system using a 15-bit position
resolver. This resolver ensures that every pan/tilt position has an address. The
camera never loses a preset position even when moved by an external force.
With a full 360º continuous rotation pan and 290º tilt control (on upright
models without illuminators) and super-quick pan (120°/second) and tilt
(90°/second) for exceptional viewing capability, the camera outperforms other
cameras in its class.
The resolver inside the camera ensures that the camera will never lose its
position.
Dual-mode Illumination
The field-installable MIC illuminator accessory (sold separately) enables
Detection of objects 300 m (984 ft) away using IR light. Unique 3D Diffuser
technology ensures even illumination across the entire scene. Ensuring long-term
reliability, the patented, integrated Constant Light technology automatically
controls and adjusts output to deliver a consistent level of illumination
performance throughout the life of the product, even when operating in
fluctuating temperatures. The illuminator accessory consists of both IR and
White light LEDs. Operators can switch between the two light sources with a
single click.
Image Stabilization
As PTZ cameras continue to increase their optical zoom capabilities, image
stabilization becomes critical to eliminate movement caused by unstable camera
mounts. Minor movement of the camera mount can shift the field of view by a
large distance when the camera is zoomed to a high value. This can render images
unusable. The camera incorporates an Image Stabilization algorithm that allows
the camera to detect continuous vibration. If it detects vibration, the camera
dynamically corrects the shaky video in both the vertical and horizontal axis,
resulting in exceptional image clarity and a stable field of view on the
monitor.
Common product platform (CPP4)
The camera has an advanced, efficient H.264 encoder (CPP4) embedded for high
quality HD streaming video and very efficient streaming and network
capabilities. The new platform supports simultaneous streaming of individually
configurable HD streams, and allows a choice of HD resolution in combination of
SD resolutions.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction reduces bandwidth and storage requirements
The camera uses Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (IDNR) which actively
analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly. The
low-noise image and the efficient H.264 compression technology combine to
provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 50% compared
to other H.264 cameras. This results in reduced-bandwidth streams that still
retain a high image quality and smooth motion. The camera provides the most
usable image possible by cleverly optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio.
System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
specification which guarantees interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. The ONVIF Profile S specification allows easy
integration with other conformant devices and VMS. ONVIF conformant devices are
able to exchange live video, audio, metadata, and control information, and
ensure that they are automatically discovered and connected to network
applications such as video management systems.
Data security
Special measures have been put in place to ensure the highest level of security
for device access and data transport. The three-level password protection with
security recommendations allows users to customize device access. Web browser
access can be protected using HTTPS and firmware updates can also be protected
with authenticated secure uploads. The on-board Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support, guarantee superior protection from
malicious attacks. The 802.1x network authentication with EAP/TLS, supports TLS
1.2 with updated cipher suites including AES 256 encryption.
The advanced certificate handling offers:
• Self-signed unique certificates automatically created when required
• Client and server certificates for authentication
• Client certificates for proof of authenticity
• Certificates with encrypted private keys
Ease of installation
The camera has been designed for quick and easy installation, a key feature from
Bosch IP video security products.
The camera supports mounting in upright, inverted, or canted orientation. The
field-selectable canting option allows the upper section of the camera to be
tilted down at a 45° angle. This is very useful for installations that require a
view of the scene directly under the camera. No matter the installation
position, the camera will provide the perfect field of view. The MIC Series has
a wide range of mounting accessories, including a hinged DCA mount, a wall
mount, a corner mount, and a pole mount. In addition, a sunshield is available
for camera installations in hot, sunny locations.
The MIC Hinged DCA (MIC-DCA-Hx) provides a convenient mounting point for a MIC
camera. The hinge feature allows installers to “hang” the camera temporarily
during installation for easier connection of cables/wiring before final bolts
are installed.
Made from cast aluminum, the hinged DCA is deeper than the standard MIC-DCA in
order to easily accommodate the connections from the base of the camera, and has
two M25 holes (or 3/4 in. NPT holes using the conduit adapter (male M25 to
female 3/4" NPT) (Available in specific regions only.)) to accept weatherproof
conduit or cable glands. An O-ring provides an IP68-rated seal between the base
of the camera and the top of the DCA.
For installations in locations that require additional protection for the
camera’s electrical connectors, a special weatherproof kit is available. The kit
includes IP67-rated watertight glands that seal the connectors to prevent damage
from high humidity or moisture condensation.
Bosch offers several power/control accessories, including a high-capacity 24 VAC
power supply, and an inexpensive ‘alarm/washer’ interface accessory unit to
connect external alarm signals and control optional external washer pump
devices.
If a more sophisticated installation is required, connect the camera to the
advanced accessory named VIDEOJET connect, which includes an integrated HPoE
network connection, two standard network interfaces, integrated Bosch transcoder
technology, Compact Flash-based local storage, a built-in network switch,
alarm/washer control interfaces, audio in, and two sockets for SFP-based network
fiber optic modules.
Robust design rated to an industry-leading IP68, Type 6P, IK10
Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and immersion tests (IP68, Type 6P) and
impact test (IK10), MIC Series cameras are perfectly suited for installation in
even the most unforgiving environments. The cameras’ aluminum housing receives a
corrosion protection surface treatment, along with robust, powder coat paint.
Reliable O-ring seals completely protect the internal components from the
external environment, meaning that there is no need to pressurize the camera. To
guarantee the seal, the factory submerges each MIC camera to ensure seal
integrity before shipping.
Dual power options
The camera can be powered by a network compliant to High Power-over-Ethernet
(Bosch’s version of High PoE) using a Bosch model of High PoE Midspans (sold
separately). With this configuration, only a single (Cat5e/Cat6e) cable
connection is required to view, to power, and to control the camera.
The camera can also accept a standard 24 VAC power source if a High PoE network
interface will not be used. User-supplied wiring must be in compliance with
electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
For maximum reliability, the camera can be connected simultaneously to a High
PoE Midspan and a separate 24 VAC power source. If High PoE and 24 VAC are
applied simultaneously, the camera usually selects auxiliary input (24 VAC) and
will draw minimal power from the High PoE Midspan. If the 24 VAC power source
fails, the camera switches power input seamlessly to High PoE. After the 24 VAC
power source is restored, the camera switches power input again to 24 VAC.
The 60 W midspan (NPD-6001A) can supply power to models without an illuminator
accessory. The 95 W midspan (NPD-9501A) can supply power to all models of
MIC7000, including models with the illuminator accessory.
Refer to the table in the Installation/configuration notes section for more
information.
Camera Diagnostics
The camera has several built-in sensors / advanced diagnostics that display
warnings on the camera’s OSD about the health of the camera. The diagnostics log
records the events such as:
• Low voltage - a drop in incoming power below the level where the camera
becomes non-functional
• High temperature - the internal temperature exceeds specifications
• Low temperature - the internal temperature exceeds minimum levels
• High humidity - the internal humidity exceeds 70%
• High vibration - the acceptable level of acceleration forces was exceeded
• Total hours of camera operation
• Illuminator aging history
Certain events also appear on the camera’s OSD. These diagnostic records are
available for the installation or service technician to review.
Unsurpassed reliability
As with all Bosch products, the camera is designed using the industry’s best
design process and is subjected to the most stringent testing standards such as
HALT (highly accelerated life testing), which pushes the limits of products to
ensure reliability throughout their lifetime.
