The 720p outdoor dome cameras from Bosch are
professional surveillance cameras that provide high
quality HD images for demanding security and
surveillance network requirements. These domes are
true day/night cameras offering excellent performance
day or night.
There is a version with a built-in active infrared
illuminator that provides high performance in extreme
low-light environments.
System overview
Vandal resistant outdoor dome with varifocal lens
Ideal for outdoor use, the IK10-rated design is suitable
for installations where a vandal resistance is
important. The camera is protected against water and
dust to IP66 standards. The varifocal lens allows you
to choose the coverage area to best suit your
application. Mounting options are numerous, including
surface, wall, and suspended-ceiling mounting.
Functions
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.

various image rates is shown in the table:

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 10Mbit/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.
Two-way audio and audio alarm
Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate
with visitors or intruders via an external audio line
input and output. 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 signaling camera tampering. A built-in
algorithm for detecting movement in the video can
also be used for alarm signaling.
Storage management
Recording management can be controlled by the
BoschVideoRecordingManager
(VideoRecordingManager) or the camera can use
iSCSI targets directly without any recording software.
Edge recording
The MicroSD card slot supports up to 2TB 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.
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 Powerover-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
+12VDC power supplies.
For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports
Auto-MDIX which allows the use of straight or crossover cables.
True day/night switching
The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology
for vivid daytime color and exceptional night-time
imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all
lighting conditions.
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 an SMB connector. The hybrid functionality
offers an easy migration path from legacy CCTV to a
modern IP-based system.
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.
Complete viewing software
There are many ways to access the camera’s features:
using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, with the free-of-charge
BoschVideoClient or VideoSecurityClient, with the
video security mobile app, or via third-party software.
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
The camera conforms to the ONVIF ProfileS
specifications. Compliance with these standards
guarantees interoperability between network video
products regardless of manufacturer.
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.
