u 12MP / 30 fps sensor for fine details with smooth
motion
u Edge or client-side dewarping for easy integration
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.
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 Video Security Client from Bosch
provides advanced client-side dewarping features.

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.
These panoramic cameras will considerably augment
the functionality of any high-end surveillance system
especially when coupled with Intelligent Video
Analytics, for example, for people counting or complex
rule-based alarm triggering.
Intelligent Video Analytics continuously monitors the
full image circle so you still receive alarms even if you
are zoomed-in on a particular region.

Functions
12MP sensor at 30 fps
The ultra high 12MP sensor resolution together with
the exceptionally high frame rate of 30 fps 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.
Panoramic vision and Intelligent Video Analysis
The IVA version of the camera uses the latest
generation of the Bosch Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA)
software. IVA combined with full panoramic vision
produces an extremely powerful surveillance tool
which enriches full situational awareness. With
intelligent tracking, movement can be followed
continuously throughout the full image circle. There is
no need to hand off tracking from one camera to
another, greatly simplifying movement analysis.
The system reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes
objects, and alerts you when predefined alarms are
triggered. A smart set of alarm rules makes complex
tasks easy and reduces false alarms to a minimum.
Intelligent Video Analytics also adds sense and
structure to your video by adding metadata. Metadata
is generated from the full image circle and also
separately on the E-PTZ channel. This enables you to
quickly retrieve the relevant images from hours of
stored video. Metadata can also be used to deliver
irrefutable forensic evidence or to optimize business
processes based on people counting or crowd density
information.
MOTION+
The MOTION+ video motion analysis system that is
built into all camera versions is the perfect solution for
applications where basic video content analysis
features are required. MOTION+ shows motion
metadata in an overlay display. By using MOTION+
data as input, smarter imaging algorithms bring
improved image quality and more efficient bitrates. It
also enables extended tamper detection capabilities.
Client-side dewarping
With client-side dewarping, the camera streams a
single circular non-dewarped image at 30 fps.
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 12.5 fps:
• 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 12.5 fps
with edge dewarping or 30 fps 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 camera 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:
When mounted at a height of 3 m (10 ft) the 180°
version of the camera has the following coverage

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.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction adjusts spatial
and temporal filtering (3DNR) based on intelligent
analysis of the scene content. Motion compensated
temporal filtering (MCTF) reduces motion blur
normally associated with standard temporal filtering.
This maintains image quality of fast moving objects
while still optimizing bitrate.
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:

Measured dynamic range
The dynamic range of the camera is outstanding and is
obvious in real-world performance comparisons —
92 dB wide dynamic range (plus an extra 16 dB when
combined with Intelligent Auto Exposure).
The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured
using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF)
analysis with a standardized test chart based on ISO
standards. This method provides more realistic and
verifiable results in comparison with the theoretical
approximations sometimes used.
Priority exposure control
To optimize image quality, eight zones for measuring
the exposure can be drawn on the full image circle and
assigned a priority level. These zones are given a
higher or lower priority when the camera calculates
the exposure level. This ensures that the important
areas of the scene have the ideal exposure level.
Intelligent Auto Exposure
Fluctuations in backlight and front light can ruin your
images. To achieve the perfect picture in every
situation, Intelligent Auto Exposure automatically
adjusts the exposure of the camera. It offers superb
front light compensation and incredible backlight
compensation by automatically adapting to changing
light conditions.
Built-in microphone and audio alarm
The camera has a built-in microphone to allow
operators to listen in on the monitored area. Audio
detection can be used to generate an alarm if needed.
If required by local laws, the microphone can be
permanently blocked via a secure license key.
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-overEthernet compliant network cable connection. With
this configuration, only a single cable connection is
required to view, power, and control the camera.
Scene modes
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Nine configurable
modes are provided with the best settings for a variety
of applications. Different scene modes can be selected
for day or night situations.

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
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to
2 TB of local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in
RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network,
and extends the effective life of the memory card.
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.
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
Bosch Video Client or Video Security Client, with the
video security mobile app, or via third-party software.
The Video Security Client has extensive dewarping
capabilities and can be used for client-side dewarping
as well as for viewing the available modes.
System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF Profile S, ONVIF
Profile Q and ONVIF Profile G specifications.
Compliance with these standards guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer.
