Flexidome Outdoor 5000 MP Series Description
The 5MP outdoor dome cameras from Bosch are professional surveillance cameras
that provide high quality images for demanding security and surveillance network
requirements. These robust domes are true day/night cameras offering excellent
performance day or night.
There is a version with a built-in active infrared illuminator that provides
high performance in extreme low-light environments.
Flexidome Outdoor 5000 MP Series 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 Outdoor 5000 MP Series Functions
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction reduces bandwidth and storage requirements
The camera uses Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction which actively analyzes the
contents of a scene and reduces noise artefacts accordingly. The low-noise image
and the efficient H.264 compression technology 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.
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.
Bitrate optimized profile
The average typical optimized bitrate in kbits/s for various frame rates is
shown in the table:
fps | 5MP | 480p |
12 | 1753 | 438 |
5 | 1136 | 284 |
2 | 489 | 122 |
Multiple streams
The innovative multi-streaming feature delivers various H.264 streams together
with an M‑JPEG stream. These streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and
recording as well as integration with third-party video management systems.
Depending on the resolution and frame rate selected for the first stream, the
second stream provides a copy of the first stream or a lower resolution 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 signalling camera
tampering. A built-in algorithm for detecting movement in the video can also be
used for alarm signalling.
Storage management
Recording management can be controlled by the Bosch Video Recording Manager
(VRM) 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.
The camera can also be supplied with power from +12 VDC power supplies.
True day/night switching
The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology for vivid daytime colour
and exceptional night-time imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all
lighting conditions.
Hybrid mode
An analogue video output enables the camera to operate in hybrid mode. This mode
provides simultaneous high resolution HD video streaming and an analogue video
output via an SMB connector. The hybrid functionality offers an easy migration
path from legacy CCTV to a modern IP-based system.
Access security
Password protection with three levels and 802.1x authentication is supported. To
secure Web browser access, use HTTPS with a SSL certificate stored in the
camera. The video and audio communication channels can be independently AES
encrypted with 128-bit keys by installing the optional encryption site license.
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
The Bosch video security mobile App has been developed to enable Anywhere access
to HD surveillance images allowing you to view live images from any location.
The App is designed to give you complete control of all your cameras, from
panning and tilting to zoom and focus functions. It’s like taking your control
room with you.
This App, together with the separately available Bosch transcoder, will allow
you to fully utilize our dynamic transcoding features so you can play back
images even over low-bandwidth connections.
System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF Profile S specification. Compliance with this
standard 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.
