Flexidome IP Indoor 4000 Camera Description
The 720p indoor dome camera from Bosch is a professional surveillance camera
that provides high quality HD images for demanding security and surveillance
network requirements. This dome is a true day/night camera offering excellent
performance day or night.
The camera is also available with a built-in active infrared illuminator that
provides high performance in extreme low-light environments.
Flexidome IP Indoor 4000 Camera Functions
iDNR reduces bandwidth and storage requirements
The camera uses intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR) 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 30% 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 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. The average typical optimized bandwidth in kbits/s
for various image rates is shown in the table:
IPS | 720p | 480p |
30 | 1200 | 600 |
15 | 955 | 478 |
12 | 877 | 438 |
5 | 568 | 284 |
2 | 245 | 122 |
Stylish indoor dome with varifocal lens
Ideal for indoor use, the stylish design is suitable for installations where
appearance and flexible coverage are important. The 3 to 10 mm 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.
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.
Regions of interest and E-PTZ
Regions of Interest (ROI) can be user defined. The remote E-PTZ (Electronic Pan,
Tilt and Zoom) controls allow you to select specific areas of the parent image.
These regions produce separate streams for remote viewing and recording. These
streams, together with the main stream, allow the operator to separately monitor
the most interesting part of a scene while still retaining situational
awareness.
Built-in microphone, two-way audio and audio alarm The camera has a built-in
microphone to allow operators to listen in on the monitored area. 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.
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 cost effective, as cameras do not require a local power source.
The camera can also be supplied with power from +12 VDC power supplies. To
increase system reliability, the camera can be simultaneously connected to both
PoE and +12 VDC 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.
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.
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 Bosch Recording System, with the
free-of-charge Bosch Video Client, or with the video security mobile App.
The Bosch Video Client PC surveillance software offers a user-friendly interface
to support easy installation and configuration. It also provides easy live
viewing of multiple cameras, playback, forensic search and export.
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 (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S
specification. This guarantees interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. For trouble-free network cabling, the camera
supports Auto-MDIX which allows the use of straight or cross-over cables.
Third-party integrators can easily access the internal feature set of the camera
for integration into large projects.
