Flexidome IP starlight 6000 VR Series Description
This camera provides clear images 24/7 – even at night or under low-light
conditions.
The exceptional starlight sensitivity enables this camera to work with a minimum
of ambient light. The extended dynamic mode provides detailed images in scenes
with challenging lighting.
The camera is available in 1080p or 720p resolution versions and provides up to
60 images per second. The aesthetic vandal-resistant housing makes the camera
suitable for indoor or outdoor installation.
Functions
Exceptional low-light performance
The latest sensor technology combined with the sophisticated noise suppression
results in an exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-light performance is so
good that the camera continues to provide excellent color performance even with
a minimum of ambient light.
Fast performance
The 60 images-per-second mode provides for optimum performance in fast action
scenes and is particularly suitable for casino and banking applications.
Extended dynamic range mode
The extended dynamic range mode is based on a multiple-exposure process that
captures more details in the highlights and in the shadows even in the same
scene. The result is that you can easily distinguish objects and features, for
example, faces with bright backlight.
The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured using Opto-Electronic
Conversion Function (OECF) analysis according to IEC 62676 Part 5. This method
is used to provide a standard result which can be used to compare different
cameras.
Content Based Imaging Technology
Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) is used to radically improve image
quality in all lighting conditions and to identify areas for enhanced
processing. The camera examines the scene using Essential Video Analytics and
provides feedback to retune the image processing. This provides better detail in
the areas that matter and better all-round performance. Essential Video
Analytics technology, for example, allows you to view moving objects in bright
and dark areas of a scene.
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 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.
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.
Intelligent Tracking can follow objects within the defined regions of interest.
Intelligent Tracking can autonomously detect and track moving objects or the
user can click on an object which the tracker will then follow.
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
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to 2 TB of local alarm
recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the
network, and extends the effective life of the memory card.
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 Power-over-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.
To increase system reliability, the camera can be simultaneously connected to
both PoE and +12 VDC supplies. If one power source fails, the other source takes
over without a reboot so providing power redundancy.
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.
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.
Scene modes
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that allows fast and easy
configuration. Nine configurable modes are provided with the best settings for a
variety of applications. Different scene modes can be selected for day or night
situations.
Hybrid operation
A surge-protected analog video output allows full hybrid operation. This means
that high resolution IP video streaming and an analog video output are available
simultaneously. The hybrid functionality offers an easy migration path from
legacy CCTV to a modern IP-based system.
Aesthetic vandal resistant design
The compact aesthetic design is suitable for installations where housing size
and appearance are important. The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate window,
and hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of
force (IK10). The camera is also protected against water and dust. 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 mounting.
True day/night switching
The camera is a true day/night camera with a mechanical filter for vivid daytime
color and exceptional night-time imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all
lighting conditions. The filter can be switched remotely, or automatically via a
light level sensor or contact input.
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
