System overview
Easy to install stylish indoor dome
Ideal for indoor use, the stylish design is suitable for
installations where appearance and flexible coverage
are important. The varifocal lens allows you to choose
the coverage area to best suit your application. Using
the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers
can select the exact field of view. Mounting options
are numerous, including surface, wall, and suspendedceiling mounting.
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.

Functions
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.
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.
Metadata is attached to your video to add sense and
structure. 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.
Calibration is quick and easy – just enter the height of
the camera. The internal gyro/accelerometer sensor
provides the rest of the information to precisely
calibrate the video analytics.
Fast performance
The 60 frames per second mode provides for optimum
performance in fast action scenes that ensures no
critical data is lost.
Starlight performance
The latest sensor technology combined with the
sophisticated image processing and noise suppression
results in an exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-
Video - FLEXIDOME IP starlight 5000i (IR) - indoor

light performance is so good that the camera
continues to provide excellent color performance even
with a minimum of ambient light.
High Dynamic Range
The camera has High Dynamic Range. This is based on
a multiple-exposure process that captures more
details in the highlights and in the shadows even in
the same scene. The result is that you can easily
distinguish objects and features, for example, faces
with bright backlight.
The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured
using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF)
analysis according to IEC62676Part5. This method is
used to provide a standard result which can be used
to compare different cameras.
Intelligent streaming reduces bandwidth and storage
requirements
The low-noise image and the efficient H.265
compression technology provide clear images while
reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 80%
compared to standard H.264 cameras. With this new
generation of cameras 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 adjust
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.

Multiple streams
The multi-streaming feature delivers various H.264 or
H.265 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.
The camera can run multiple independent streams
that allows to set a different resolution and frame rate
on the first and second stream. The user can also
choose to use a copy of the first 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.
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.
If required by local laws, the microphone can be
permanently blocked via a secure license key.
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/24VAC power supplies. To increase system
reliability, the camera can be simultaneously
Video - FLEXIDOME IP starlight 5000i (IR) - indoor
3 | 7
connected to both PoE and +12VDC/24VAC supplies.
Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
be used, which will allow continuous operation, even
during a power failure.
For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports
Auto-MDIX which allows the use of straight or crossover cables.
Automatic image rotation
The integrated gyro/accelerometer sensor
automatically corrects the image orientation in steps
of 90° if the camera is mounted at right angles or
upside down. The sensor image can also be rotated
manually through steps of 90°.
To efficiently capture details in long hallways without
loss of resolution, mount the camera at right angles.
The image is displayed upright at full resolution on
your monitor.
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.
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:
Data security
Special measures have been put in place to ensure the
highest level of security for device access and data
transport. The three-level password protection with
security recommendations allows users to customize
device access. Web browser access can be protected
using HTTPS and firmware updates can also be
