Flexidome IP outdoor 4000i Camera System overview
Vandal resistant outdoor dome with varifocal lens Ideal for outdoor use, the
IK10-rated design is suitable for installations where a vandal resistance is
important. The camera is protected against water and dust to IP66 standards. The
varifocal lens allows you to choose the coverage area to best suit your
application. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, and
suspended-ceiling mounting. The automatic zoom/focus lens wizard makes it easy
for an installer to accurately zoom and focus the camera for both day and night
operation. The wizard is activated from the PC or from the on-board camera push
button making it easy to choose the workflow that suits best.
The AVF (Automatic Varifocal) feature means that the zoom can be changed without
opening the camera. The automatic motorized zoom/focus adjustment with 1:1 pixel
mapping ensures the camera is always accurately focused.
Flexidome IP outdoor 4000i Camera Functions
Essential Video Analytics
The built-in video analysis reinforces the Intelligenceat-the-Edge concept and
now delivers even more powerful features. Essential Video Analytics is ideal for
use in controlled environments with limited detection ranges.
The system reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes objects, and alerts you when
predefined alarms are triggered. A smart set of alarm rules makes complex tasks
easy and reduces false alarms to a minimum. Metadata is attached to your video
to add sense and structure. This enables you to quickly retrieve the relevant
images from hours of stored video. Metadata can also be used to deliver
irrefutable forensic evidence or to optimize business processes based on people
counting or crowd density information.
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.
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.
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 thirdparty 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 Powerover-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 costeffective, 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. Additionally, uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS) can be used, which will allow continuous operation, even during a
power failure.
For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports Auto-MDIX which allows the
use of straight or crossover cables.
Automatic image rotation
The integrated gyro/accelerometer sensor automatically corrects the image
orientation in steps of 90° if the camera is mounted at right angles or upside
down. The sensor image can also be rotated manually through steps of 90°.
To efficiently capture details in long hallways without loss of resolution,
mount the camera at right angles. The image is displayed upright at full
resolution on your monitor.
True day/night switching
The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology for vivid daytime color and
exceptional night-time imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all lighting
conditions.
Hybrid mode
An analog video output enables the camera to operate in hybrid mode. This mode
provides simultaneous high resolution HD video streaming and an analog video
output via an SMB connector. The hybrid functionality offers an easy migration
path from legacy CCTV to a modern IP-based system.
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
Complete viewing software
There are many ways to access the camera’s features: using a web browser, with
the Bosch Video Management System, with the free-of-charge Bosch Video Client or
Video Security Client, with the video security mobile app, or via third-party
software. Video security app
