MIC-9502-Z30 Series Description
The Functions
The MIC IP fusion 9000i camera is an advanced PTZ surveillance platform
designed to provide early detection in mission-critical applications. With its
dual visible/thermal imaging capabilities, the MIC IP fusion 9000i camera is the
perfect solution for robust and high-quality imaging needs.
The camera’s distinctive, ruggedized design is wellsuited for extreme
environments and adverse weather conditions such as high winds, rain, fog, ice,
and snow.
Precision engineered using Bosch’s domain expertise in material and mechanical
engineering, the camera offers the most advanced imaging and positioning system
solution available on the market.
Exceptional imaging performance
The MIC IP fusion 9000i camera incorporates a high performance thermal imaging
core and a 1080p starlight camera integrated in the same housing. This allows
the camera to deliver simultaneous thermal and visible video streams, maximizing
the ability to detect and react to long-range threats.
Thermal imager
The thermal imager incorporates the latest un-cooled vanadium oxide
microbolometer technology. This high sensitivity thermal imager is equipped with
a fixed focal length Athermal lens that balances the field-ofview with
maximizing the detection distance.
User-adjustable settings for contrast and gain allow operators to optimize the
image, ensuring delivery of the highest quality video. In addition, a wide
variety of user-selectable thermal color modes are available allowing further
optimization of the thermal image. Depending on model mix, QVGA resolution (320
pixels) and VGA resolution (640 pixels) versions are available, with choice of
low (<9Hz) or high (30/60Hz) frame rates.
Visible imager
The 1080p60-capable visible imager has starlight technology and a 30x
optical/12x digital zoom lens that provides high-quality images, excellent color
performance, and unbeatable low-light sensitivity. High dynamic range ensures
clear image reproduction in the most challenging high-contrast scenes.
Ruggedized design for extreme applications The MIC IP fusion 9000i camera is
designed for surveillance applications beyond the mechanical capabilities of
normal PTZ domes or conventional positioning systems.
• Ingress
The camera is environmentally sealed and complies with Type 6P and IP68
standards, when attached to a MIC-DCA or a MIC-WMB. This level of protection
eliminates any risk of dust or water ingress, making the camera a perfect choice
for use in extreme environments with rain, dust, snow, flying debris, and other
challenging conditions.
In addition, the MIC camera’s ingress protection method does not need periodic
maintenance, which is required on cameras with pressurized housings.
• Wide operating temperature range
The camera’s operating temperature range of -40 °C to +65 °C (-40 °F to +149 °F)
enables reliable surveillance monitoring in global locations from cold northern
latitudes to hot equatorial and desert regions.
• Rugged construction
The all-metal body has been engineered to withstand IK10-level impacts, and
continuous low-frequency vibration. With its symmetrical, cross-section designed
surfaces, the camera is also well-suited to operating in sites with high wind
conditions.
• Excellent corrosion protection
The camera benefits from Bosch Automotive domain knowledge in material
engineering and coatings. As a result, the superior metallurgy, chromate based
precoating, and paint finish of the camera provides unprecedented protection
against corrosion. Reliability is ensured by the camera’s ability to withstand a
2000-hour salt atmosphere at elevated temperature corrosion resistance test,
according to the ASTM B117 test method.
• Window Wiper and Defroster
The camera features a highly durable, silicone wiper which removes moisture from
both the glass and germanium windows. In addition, both windows incorporate
embedded defrosters that minimize build-up of snow and ice, ensuring the
highestpossible image details in extreme cold and moist conditions.
The wiper can also be integrated with third-party washer systems for regular
cleaning and maintenance activities.
Intelligent Video Analytics on the edge The camera includes the latest release
of Intelligent Video Analytics for monitoring both the visible and the thermal
image streams.
Designed for mission-critical applications, the video analytics can reliably
detect, track, and analyze moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from
spurious sources in the image, even in harsh weather conditions.
Advanced tasks like multiple line crossing, loitering, idle / removed object
detection, crowd density estimation, occupancy and people counting are available
for live alarming and forensic search. Object filters based on size, speed,
direction, aspect ratio, and color can be defined.
Set-up time is minimized because only the installation height of the camera must
be entered to calibrate the analytics.
After the camera is calibrated, the analytics engine can automatically classify
objects as upright person, car, bike, or truck.
Video analytics while camera is moving
The Intelligent Video Analytics can trigger an alarm when the visible imager
detects objects in motion in alarm fields while the camera is moving.
These alarm fields are defined once across all PTZ camera views. Any part of
those fields that is currently within the camera’s view becomes active. Thus,
guard tours sweeping across the monitored areas in order to provide an intruder
less time to slip by can now automatically alarm on those intruders as well. If
desired, the alarm can even be used to trigger the camera's Intelligent Tracking
feature.
Metadata Fusion imaging
The metadata fusion feature enables operators to receive notification of
detected events from both thermal and visible image streams, regardless of which
image stream they are viewing. This gives operators a much higher level of
situational awareness, and eliminates the need to monitor both visible and
thermal images constantly.
For example, a standard camera viewing a scene with limited visibility produces
an image such as the one below.
On the visible imager, when Intelligent Video Analytics application detects
objects or individuals, the camera can automatically activate the Intelligent
Tracking feature, which controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera in
order to track objects and keep them in view.
Areas with potentially interfering background motion (moving trees, pulsating
lights, and busy roads) can be masked out.
The camera supports 2 Intelligent Tracking modes:
• Auto mode: In this mode, the camera follows any object that has triggered an
alarm in the Intelligent Video Analytics application. This mode is most useful
for scenarios where the alarm cases can be clearly defined, for example, when no
motion is expected at all.
• Click mode: In this mode, users can click on any object detected by the
Intelligent Video Analytics application 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.
H.265 Video encoding
The camera is designed on the most efficient and powerful H.264 and H.265/HEVC
encoding platform. The camera is capable of delivering high-quality and
high-resolution video with very low network load. With a doubling of encoding
efficiency, H.265 is the new compression standard of choice for IP video
surveillance systems.
Intelligent streaming
Smart encoding capabilities, together with Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
technology and analytics, make the bandwidth consumption drop to extremely low
levels. Only relevant information in the scene, such as motion or objects found
with the analytics, are encoded.
The camera is capable of providing 4 streams of thermal video and 4 streams of
HD visible video simultaneously (8 streams total). This allows the camera to
deliver independent, configurable streams for live viewing, recording, or remote
monitoring via constrained bandwidths.
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.
Note: Image stabilization is available on the visible camera only.
Other Features
The camera includes many advanced features that work to maximize performance and
satisfy the most demanding system operation requirements.
• Scene modes
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that allows fast and easy
configuration to optimize image quality.
The visible imager has five user-selectable scene modes with pre-configured
settings that optimize the imaging for a variety of applications, including
Motion, Low light, and Vibrant. Operators can select different scene modes for
day or night situations. The thermal imager has 12 user-selectable thermal mode
options, including White hot, Black hot, Red Light, Softlight, and Sunset.
Recording and storage management
The Bosch Video Recording Manager application can control recording management
for the camera. Alternately, the camera can use its embedded local storage and
iSCSI targets directly without any recording software.
The camera’s embedded local storage (internal EMMCbased memory) can be used for
recording "at the edge" or for Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) to improve
the overall recording reliability. At the worst case--full streaming conditions,
comprising both visible and thermal image streams, metadata, and audio--up to 4
hours of local storage time is possible. Furthermore, pre-alarm recording is
available to capture details of an incident before the alarm actually occurs.
High performance PTZ operations
The camera has a closed-loop feedback control system using a 15-bit position
resolver. This resolver ensures high accuracy coordinates are linked with every
pan/ tilt position. Because the camera always knows where it is pointed, it will
return automatically to its original position even if moved by extremely high
winds. The pan and tilt mechanism of the camera is a ruggedized, spur gear
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 much wear and tear.
With a full 360º continuous rotation pan, 296º tilt control, and super-quick pan
(120°/second) and tilt (90°/second) operational speeds, the camera outperforms
other cameras in its class.
Tilt range of MIC IP fusion 9000i camera
The camera’s ability to operate at very slow speeds (<0.2°/second) means it
excels at tracking slowmoving objects or objects at a distance.
The camera supports 256 pre-positions and two styles of Guard Tours: Preset and
Record/Playback. One preset tour has capability for up to 256 consecutive
pre-positions and the other with up to 256 userdefined pre-positions. Both offer
configurable dwell time between pre-positions.
The camera also provides support for two custom recorded tours, which have a
combined duration of 30 minutes of movements. The custom tours are recorded
macros of an operator’s movements, including pan, tilt, zoom, focus and
pre-position activities. Operators can play back tours in a continuous manner.
System integration and ONVIF conformance The camera conforms to the Open Network
Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) Profile S and Profile G specifications. For H.265
configuration the camera also supports Media Service 2 which is part of the
future ONVIF Profile T. Compliance with these standards guarantees
interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
Third-party integrators can easily access the internal feature set of the camera
for integration into large projects. Visit the Bosch Integration Partner Program
(IPP) website (ipp.boschsecurity.com) for more information.
