FLEXIDOME IP panoramic 6000 IC
u 12MP / 30fps sensor for fine details with
smooth motion
u Discreet and aesthetic in-ceiling design
u Easily painted for unobtrusive installation
u Edge or client-side dewarping for easy
integration
This discreet, aesthetic camera mounts flush in a
ceiling or wall. Its easily-painted cover plate blends in
with almost all surroundings. The 12MP sensor
operating at 30fps 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.
Versions
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.
Dewarping
The lens captures a circular image. Our dewarping
software transforms this circular image into several
different distortion-free rectangular views. To
facilitate system integration, you can choose edge
dewarping inside the camera or client-side dewarping
on an external platform.
The freely available VideoSecurityClient from Bosch
provides advanced client-side dewarping features.
System overview
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.

Functions
12MP sensor at 30fps
The ultra high 12MP sensor resolution together with
the exceptionally high frame rate of 30fps makes this
camera unique in the field of panoramic image
capture. Motion is smoother and the E‑PTZ feature
provides more detailed images.
The effective resolution for the 180° version is 8MP
and for the 360° version 7MP.
Essential Video Analytics
The built-in video analysis reinforces the Intelligenceat-the-Edge concept and now delivers even more
powerful features. Essential Video Analytics is ideal
for use in controlled environments with limited
detection ranges.
Client-side dewarping
With client-side dewarping, the camera streams a
single circular non-dewarped image at 30fps.
Dewarping is performed with our dewarping software
that is installed on the PC where multiple view modes
are available or you can choose to use a third-party
client-side dewarping software solution.

Edge dewarping
The edge dewarping in the camera provides three
separate video channels simultaneously at 12.5fps:
• Full image circle (Video 1 channel)
• Dewarped view mode (Video 2 channel)
• E-PTZ (Video 3 channel)
Different view modes can be selected for the video 2
channel. Your selection depends on the resolution you
require and how you wish to view the dewarped
image.
View modes
The following view modes can be selected at 12.5fps
with edge dewarping or 30fps with our client side
dewarping.
With the 180° lens version, you can select one of the
following view modes for the second channel:

DORI coverage
DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) is a
standard system (EN-62676-4) for defining the ability
of a person viewing the video to distinguish persons
or objects within a covered area. The maximum
distance at which a camera/lens combination can
meet these criteria is shown below:
For high mounting applications, the center image
DORI values are:

E-PTZ and regions of interest
The remote E-PTZ (Electronic Pan, Tilt and Zoom)
controls allow you to select specific areas of the full
image circle. These Regions of Interest (ROI) can be
easily defined, allowing the most interesting part of a
scene to be monitored separately. The high resolution
ensures that details are not lost even when using the
electronic zoom.
The E-PTZ feature of a panoramic camera has some
advantages over normal PTZ cameras. There is no
camera movement so the camera does not draw
attention to itself or appear intrusive. Situational
awareness is still retained even when zooming in on a
particular object of interest. The smooth E- PTZ
function helps navigation, and presets are available as
they are with regular PTZ cameras.

Record exactly what you want
The camera provides the full resolution circular image
for recording even if you are viewing only a portion of
the scene. This means that you can always perform
retrospective dewarping and analyses on the
complete area covered and then zoom in on the region
or object of interest.
With edge-dewarping you can also choose to only
record the relevant parts of the scene which helps
reduce bitrates significantly.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
Quiet scenes with little or no movement require a
lower bitrate. By intelligently distinguishing between
noise and relevant information, Intelligent Dynamic
Noise Reduction reduces bitrate by up to 50%.
Because noise is reduced at the source during image
capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise on
video quality.
With the release of FW6.40 an extra level of
intelligence is added with Intelligent Streaming. The
camera provides the most usable image possible by
cleverly optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio. The
smart encoder continuously scans the complete scene
as well as regions of the scene and dynamically
adjusts compression based on relevant information
like movement. Together with Intelligent Dynamic
Noise Reduction, which actively analyzes the contents
of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly,
bitrates are reduced by up to 80%. Because noise is
reduced at the source during image capture, the lower
bitrate does not compromise image quality. This
results in substantially lower storage costs and
network strain and still retain a high image quality and
smooth motion.
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.
Area-based encoding is only available with client-side
dewarping.
Bitrate optimized profile
The average typical optimized bandwidth in kbits/s for
various image rates is shown in the table:
