NDN-498 FlexiDome2X Day/Night IP Camera Description
FlexiDome2X Day/Night IP cameras are progressive scan CCD cameras in a
compact, high-impact rated, vandal-resistant housing.
Equipped with 20-bit DSP with 2X‑dynamic, they have a wide dynamic range for
sharper, more detailed images with outstanding color reproduction.
They can quad-stream video simultaneously — on 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. FlexiDome2X IP cameras have
built-in video motion detection and additional processing power for video
content analysis systems.
Supported by the award-winning Dinion2X digital imaging technology, they provide
a proven, dependable solution for many security and surveillance requirements,
day or night.
NDN-498 FlexiDome2X Day/Night IP Camera Functions
Progressive scan
To capture sharp images, even in busy scenes with high motion content, the
Dinion camera uses progressive scan technology.
Superior image quality
With a 1/3-inch CCD and Bosch’s advanced digital signal processing, the
FlexiDome2X Day/Night IP camera provides outstanding image quality in virtually
all situations. The highly accurate 20-bit digital signal is automatically
processed to reveal every detail of the image in both the high and low-light
areas of the scene simultaneously.
20-bit Image Processing
The highly accurate digital signal processing optimally captures the detail in
both bright highlights and deep shadows simultaneously. By combining 20-bit
image processing and wide dynamic range, the FlexiDome2X maximizes the
information visible in the picture even with strong backlight.
Wide Dynamic Range
The superior wide dynamic range performance for all lighting conditions reveals
details previously unseen.
2X-Dynamic and SmartBLC
Using 2X-Dynamic technology, pixel-by-pixel analysis provides the user with the
most detailed information. Turn on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the
image without the need for complicated set-up or without compromising dynamic
range. Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the details in a
scene, pixel by pixel.
Programmable Modes
Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes support typical applications,
but are fully programmable for individual situations.
Day/Night switching
In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing by switching the IR
(infrared) filter out of the optical path and providing a monochrome image. The
camera can switch from color to monochrome mode automatically by sensing the
illumination level, manually via the alarm input, or remotely via a web browser.
An internal, through-the-lens IR detector enhances monochrome mode stability by
preventing the camera from returning to color mode when IRillumination is
dominant.
Privacy masking
Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a scene to be blocked. A
mask for any part of the scene can be pre-programmed.
Default Shutter
The default shutter speed captures fast moving objects when sufficient light is
available. When light levels fall and other adjustments have been exhausted, the
shutter speed reverts to a standard setting to maintain sensitivity.
SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on the CCD, the effective
sensitivity is dramatically enhanced. This is especially useful when relying
only on moonlight for illumination.
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 FlexiDome2X 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.
FlexiDome2X 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 tamperdetection capabilities.
Hardware enhanced
The advanced Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) option bases the IVA algorithm on
digital imaging technology that uses multi-level image analysis of pixels,
texture, and object direction.
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-aluminum 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 analog 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 will allow continuous
operation, even during a power failure.
For trouble free network cabling, the cameras support Auto-MDIX.
FlexiDome2X IP cameras have a service mode for easy installation using the
control buttons and an analog video output on the camera as an alternative to
configuration over IP. The service mode is simply activated by pressing a button
on the camera. This routes the video to the analog output, bypassing the IP
video output. The On-Screen Display (OSD) simplifies back focus adjustment and
network configuration, minimizing installation and support costs. The Lens
Wizard automatically detects the lens type and helps focus the lens at the
maximum opening to maintain proper focus.
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
• Prisons and correctional facilities
• Traffic monitoring (air, land and sea)
• Hotels, bars and nightclubs
• Commercial and government buildings
• City surveillance and safety
• Border control
