Bosch Security Systems 2015.02 | v1.0 | AM18-Q0684
System overview
The FLEXIDOME IP panoramic 7000 MP is a discreet, aesthetic,
low-profile camera for indoor use. The 12MP sensor operating at
30 fps provides full panoramic surveillance with complete area
coverage, fine details and high speeds. The camera offers full
situational awareness and simultaneous E-PTZ views in high
resolution.
Unobtrusive design and easy installation
The low profile of the camera makes it exceedingly suitable for
installations where aesthetics are important. Its unobtrusive
nature allows it to fit in with architectural features without
detracting from the surroundings. Museums, historic buildings
or impeccably designed interiors will all benefit from the
discreet design.
The camera is easily mounted to any surface using a twist-click
mechanism via the supplied mounting ring. The high quality IR
corrected lens is factory focused and is not restricted by a
bubble, so installation is simplified and sharpness is assured.
The LED indicators, reset button and SD card slot are easily
accessed via two hinges at the front of the camera. A complete
set of indoor mounting accessories, such as a surface mount
box or a pendant pipe mount, are available.
Power for the camera is 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.

Advantages of panoramic surveillance
Panoramic surveillance offers full 180° or 360° coverage of the
designated area. Because our panoramic cameras cover the full
area, they provide complete situational awareness and are
ideally suited to following movement in one continuous sweep.
The 360° version of the camera, when mounted centrally on a
ceiling, gives complete wall‑to‑wall coverage. The 180° version
has a higher effective resolution and is ideal for wall mounting
or for ceiling mounting in corridors.
Application variants
The camera has a choice of application variants that set up the
camera for optimum performance in a specific environment.
Select the application variant best suited to your installation.
The application variant must be selected before any other
changes are made, as the camera reboots automatically and
resets the factory defaults when the application variant is
changed.
This camera has the following application variants:
– Client-side dewarping
– Edge dewarping
Using the camera
To access the features of the camera, use a web browser. The
browser provides live viewing of the camera streams in the
interface window, and also allows you to access and change the
extensive list of settings and parameters for camera
configuration. Refer to the software manual for more
information on the browser interface.
