If you need further assistance, contact your PC system administrator.
Overview of functions
The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary function is to encode video and control data for transmission over an IP network. With its MPEG-4 encoding it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers.
EN | 14
Bosch Security Systems | 2006-05 | V2.0
Dinion IP | Installation Manual
Wide dynamic range
The digital signal is automatically processed in the camera to optimally capture the detail in both the high and low light areas of the scene simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the picture.
Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera 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.
Receiver
MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoders (for example VIP XD) can be used as a receiver. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS or computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser installed can also be used as receivers.
Video encoding
The camera uses the MPEG-4 compression standard. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits.
Tri Streaming
Tri Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to three different, individually customized profiles. This creates two MPEG4 streams per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for local recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN, and an additional JPEG stream for use with a PDA for example.
Recording
The NWC-0495 can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the network to store long-term recordings.
Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous, real time transmission to multiple receivers. The prerequisite for this is that the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols are implemented on the network.

Bosch Security Systems | 2006-05 | V2.0
Dinion IP | Installation Manual
Configuration
The camera can be configured using a browser on the local network (Intranet) or from the Internet. Similarly, firmware updates and rapid loading of device configurations are also possible. Configuration settings can be stored as files on a computer and copied from one camera to another.
Tampering recognition and motion detectors
The NWC-0495 offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to include special video analysis algorithms.
Snapshots
Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG images, stored on the hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window.
Backup
The browser application Livepage has an icon for saving the video images provided by the unit as a file on your computer's hard drive. Clicking this icon stores the video sequences and they can be replayed with the MPEG viewer from Bosch Security Systems included with the package.

Caution
To avoid damaging the CCD sensor when using a C-mount lens, make sure the supplied lens adapter ring is mounted onto the camera before mounting the lens. Lenses weighing more than 0.5 kg (1.1lbs) must be separately supported.
Note
If a short circuit is detected on the lens connector, the on-screen display (OSD) failure message LENS SHORT CIRCUIT is shown. The lens circuit is automatically disabled to avoid internal damage. Remove the lens connector and check the pin connections.
Mounting the camera
The camera can be mounted from the top or bottom. The bottom mounting is isolated from ground. With outdoor scenes, a DC-iris lens is recommended.

Quick set-up 3
The Dinion IP camera normally provides an optimal picture without the need for further adjustments. Configuration of the camera is carried out remotely via the network using a web browser. However, the camera also has an Installer menu in which basic installation settings (lens wizard, IP address) can be accessed. To view this menu connect a monitor to the composite video output of the camera.
Back focus adjustment
To optimize picture sharpness in both bright and low-level lighting, adjust the back focus. Use the camera's unique Lens Wizard. This ensures that the object of interest always remains in focus even when focusing at the maximum lens opening.
When back focusing vari-focus lenses, adjust to obtain a sharp picture in both
wide-angle and tele positions for both far and near focus.
When back focusing zoom lenses, ensure the object of interest remains in
focus throughout the entire zoom range of the lens.
To adjust back focus:
1. Open the slide door at the side of the camera
2. Unlock the back focus locking button.
3. Turn the back focus adjustment as required.
