Flexidome IP Indoor 4000 HD Camera Description
The 720p indoor dome cameras from Bosch are professional HD surveillance
cameras that provide high quality images for demanding security and surveillance
network requirements. These 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 IP Indoor 4000 HD System overview
Easy to install stylish indoor dome
Ideal for indoor use, the stylish design is suitable for installations where
appearance and flexible coverage are important. The varifocal lens allows you to
choose the coverage area to best suit your application. Using the proprietary
pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can select the exact field of view.
Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, and suspendedceiling
mounting.
Flexidome IP Indoor 4000 HD 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 artifacts 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 bandwidth in kbits/s for various image rates is
shown in the table:
fps | 720p | 480p |
30 | 1200 | 600 |
15 | 955 | 478 |
12 | 877 | 438 |
5 | 568 | 284 |
2 | 245 | 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.
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.
If required by local laws, the microphone can be permanently blocked via a
secure license key.
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 (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.
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 power supplies.
For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports Auto-MDIX which allows the
use of straight or crossover cables.
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.
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.
