NPC-20002-F2 Description
The Bosch 720p and VGA indoor microbox cameras are ready-to-use, complete
network video surveillance systems inside a compact and stylish housing.
These cameras bring Bosch’s high-performance technology into the realm of
homes, small office and retail businesses by offering a cost-effective
solution for a broad range of applications.
NPC-20002-F2 System overview
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 (for
firmware 5.8) in bits/s for various image rates is shown in the table:
IPS | 720p | VGA |
30 | 1200 | 600 |
15 | 955 | 478 |
5 | 568 | 284 |
2 | 245 | 122 |
Compact and stylish design
Ideal for indoor use, the compact aesthetic design is suitable for
installations where housing size and appearance are important. The camera is
supplied with a versatile mounting bracket, allowing it to be easily
positioned for best coverage.
720p or VGA resolutions with multiple streams
The camera is available in 720p or VGA resolutions at 30 images per second
(ips). The innovative multistreaming 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.
Edge recording
The internal 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.
Two-way audio
The 720p version has a built-in microphone and loudspeaker that allows
remote users to listen in on an area and communicate messages to visitors or
intruders via the loudspeaker. 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.
Cloud-based facilities
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
The power supply adapters delivered with the cameras provide the 5 VDC power
supply required. The 720p version can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection. With this configuration,
only a single cable connection is required to view, power, and control the
camera. To increase system reliability, the 720p version camera can be
simultaneously connected to both PoE and 5
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.
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 video features: using a web
browser, with the supplied 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, and is supplied
completely free-ofcharge. It 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
Bosch IP standard- and high-definition cameras, encoders and analytics work
seamlessly with a wide range of security software and recording solutions
from Bosch and other industry providers. Through ONVIF conformance, the open
availability of Bosch video software development kits and a team dedicated
to special integration and support projects, it is easy to manage Bosch
video products within your system design.
