NDC-455 FlexiDome IP Cameras Series Description

FlexiDome IP cameras are progressive scan CCD colour cameras in a compact, high-impact rated, vandal resistant housing.

They can Quad-stream video simultaneously — two H.264 streams, an I-frame recording stream and an MJPEG 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.

NDC-455 FlexiDome IP Cameras Series 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 colour CCD and Bosch’s advanced digital signal processing, the FlexiDome IP provides professional image quality. Automatically activate the NightSense feature to extend sensitivity under lowlight 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 (Main Profile) compression, bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to manage bandwidth and storage requirements efficiently, while delivering high image quality and resolution.

Bosch's innovative Quad-streaming feature enables the FlexiDome 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 bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording options as well as integration with third-party video management systems.

FlexiDome IP cameras offer unparalleled recording options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI targets directly without any additional recording software. 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 microSD card. This can be used for local alarm recording or for Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) to improve the overall reliability of video recording.

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, which 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.

Tough design
The cast-aluminium housing, polycarbonate dome, and hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the full-featured camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal for outdoor use, the cameras are protected against water and dust to IP 66 (NEMA‑4X) standards. The camera enclosure provides the extra protection necessary for applications such as schools, banks, prisons, parking garages, retail and industrial buildings.

Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes completely assembled and ready to use. Using the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can select the exact field of view. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, corner and suspended ceiling. The compact, sleek design and virtually flush-mount appearance complements any decor.

Unsurpassed flexibility
There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on a PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video Management 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 analogue monitor.

Cost effective, simple installation
Three power options, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), 24 VAC and 12 VDC are available. Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras do not require a local power source. To increase system reliability, the camera can be simultaneously connected to both PoE and 12 VDC/24 VAC supplies. Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can be used which allow continuous operation even during a power failure.

For trouble free network cabling, the cameras support

Auto-MDIX.
FlexiDome IP cameras can be configured using the control buttons on the camera as an alternative to configuration over IP. Network parameters and basic camera set-up, such as lens set-up and back focus, are quickly and easily performed using the on-screen displays (OSD) and analogue video service output.

Easy Upgrade
Remotely upgrade the camera whenever new firmware becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products, thus protecting investment with little effort.

Access Security
Various security levels are available for accessing the network, the camera, and the data channels. As well as password protection with three levels, 802.1x authentication using a RADIUS is supported. To secure Web browser access use HTTPS with a SSL certificate stored in the camera. For total data protection, the video and audio communication channels can be independently AES encrypted with 128‑bit keys by installing the optional Encryption Site License.

Typical applications
• Museums and art galleries
• Shopping centres
• Offices
• Schools, colleges and universities
• Petrol / gas station
