The FLEXIDOME HD 1080p VR Dome camera offers
superior HD image quality in a aesthetic, vandal
resistant housing that is suitable for indoor or outdoor
installation. This true day/night camera provides high
resolution video, tuned for 24x7 applications.

System overview

Compared to SD cameras, the FLEXIDOME HD 1080p
VR offers, at no higher cost, motorized autofocus,
higher resolution, better sensitivity, higher frame
rates, and improved picture quality, and is still more
bandwidth-efficient. Video storage costs are
significantly reduced.

Functions

Outstanding image quality

With a 1/2.7-inch CMOS HD sensor, the FLEXIDOME
HD 1080p VR camera delivers outstanding image
quality. Image performance and color reproduction are
superb even under challenging lighting conditions. This
true day/night can automatically switch from color to
monochrome mode by sensing the illumination level or
manually via the alarm input or a web browser.

Content-based Imaging Technology

Content-Based Image Technology (C-BIT) is used to
radically improve image quality in all lighting
conditions and to identify areas for enhanced
processing. The camera examines the scene using
intelligent video analytics and provides feedback to re­tune the image processing. This provides better detail
in the areas that matter and better all-round
performance.

Low bandwidth consumption

The intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR)
actively analyzes the contents of the scene to reduce
bandwidth and storage requirements. This removes
noise artifacts so effectively that compression
efficiency is very high (up to 30% improvement). 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 via temporal
and spatial noise filtering.
Area-based encoding reduces unnecessary bandwidth.
Compression parameters for up to eight user-definable
regions can be set. This allows uninteresting regions
to be highly compressed, thus lowering bandwidth
consumption and storage requirements. Important

regions can be tuned for best image quality, thus
allowing the user to allocate bandwidth to important
parts of the scene.

Flexible lens choice

The camera comes with a choice of AVF (Automatic
Varifocal) lenses for easy installation. These SR (Super
Resolution) lenses have an advanced iris design to
ensure that the high resolution HD sensor produces
the sharpest image possible, even in the corners.

Simple installation

The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Six configurable
user modes are provided with the best settings for a
variety of applications:

• Indoor – general day-to-night changes without sun
highlights and street lighting

• Outdoor – general day-to-night changes with sun
highlights and street lighting

• Motion – monitoring traffic or fast moving objects;
motion artifacts are minimized

• Lowlight – optimized for sufficient details at low light.

• Intelligent AE (BLC on non-IVA models) – for people
moving in front of a bright background

• Vibrant – enhanced contrast, sharpness and
saturation

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.

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.
An upright mode can be selected for the second
stream. In this mode an image of 400 x 720 (9:16
aspect ratio) is cropped from the full sensor image.
When the scene to be monitored is suitable to this
mode, the bandwidth and storage requirements are
reduced.

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 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.

Intelligent Video Analytics

IVA versions of the camera use the latest generation of
the Bosch Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) software.
This IVA system is the guard-assistant system of choice
when reliable indoor or outdoor video analytics is
needed. The state-of-the-art system reliably detects,
tracks, and analyzes moving objects while suppressing
unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image.
The face detection feature detects faces in the scene
and forwards a high quality JPEG image of the best
shot of each face when the face disappears from the
scene.
Retrospective forensic search capabilities are available
remotely from the web browser or the Bosch Video
Client.

Regions of interest

Two Regions of Interest (ROI) can be user defined.
The remote 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.
The IVA Intelligent tracker can also follow objects
within the defined regions of interest. The Intelligent
tracker can autonomously detect and track moving
objects or the user can click on an object which the
Intelligent tracker will then follow.

Aesthetic vandal resistant design

Ideal for indoor or outdoor use, the compact aesthetic
design is suitable for installations where housing size
and appearance are very 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 protected against water
and dust to IP 66 (NEMA Type 4X) standards. 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.

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.

Surveillance software

There are many ways to access the camera’s video and
IVA-based 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.
Access to IVA metadata is available to integrators via
RTSP.

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.

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 a BNC connector. The hybrid functionality
offers an easy migration path from legacy CCTV to a
modern IP-based system.

Connections

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.
Camera power is supplied via PoE (Power-over­Ethernet) or via the 24 VAC/12 VDC connector.
Third-party integrators can easily access the internal
feature set of the camera for integration into large
projects. Visit the Bosch Integration Partner Program
(IPP) website (ipp.boschsecurity.com) for more
information.
