Functions
Exceptional low-light performance
The latest sensor technology combined with the
sophisticated noise suppression results in an
exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-light
performance is so good that the camera continues to
provide excellent color performance even with a
minimum of ambient light.
Fast performance
The 60 frames per second mode provides for optimum
performance in fast action scenes that ensures no
critical data is lost.
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.
u Extended Dynamic Range mode to see details in
bright and dark areas simultaneously
u Easy to install with auto zoom/focus SR lens,
wizard and pre-configured modes
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.
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.
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.
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.
With Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, our focus is
to significantly reduce storage costs, and lessen
network strain by only using bandwidth when needed.
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.
Bitrate optimized profile
The average typical optimized bandwidth in kbits/s for
various image rates is shown in the table.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Intelligent Tracking can follow objects within the
defined regions of interest. Intelligent Tracking can
autonomously detect and track moving objects or the
user can click on an object which the tracker will then
follow.
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.
To increase system reliability, the camera can be
simultaneously connected to both PoE and +12VDC
supplies. If one power source fails, the other source
takes over without a reboot so providing power
redundancy.
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.
Aesthetic vandal resistant design
The compact aesthetic design is suitable for
installations where housing size and appearance are
important. The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate
window, and hardened inner liner can withstand the
equivalent of 55kg (120lbs) of force (IK10). The
camera is also protected against water and dust.
Using the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism,
installers can select the exact field of view. Mounting
options are numerous, including surface, wall, corner,
and suspended-ceiling mounting.

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
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to
2TB 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.
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.
Hybrid operation
A surge-protected analog video output allows full
hybrid operation. This means that high resolution IP
video streaming and an analog video output are
available simultaneously. The hybrid functionality
offers an easy migration path from legacy CCTV to a
modern IP-based system.
True day/night switching
The camera is a true day/night camera with a
mechanical filter for vivid daytime color and
exceptional night-time imaging while maintaining
sharp focus under all lighting conditions. The filter can
be switched remotely, or automatically via a light level
sensor or contact input.
Data security
Special measures are necessary to ensure the highest
level of security for device access and data transport.
On initial setup, the camera is only accessible over
secure channels. You must set a service-level
password in order to access camera functions.
Web browser and viewing client access can be
protected using HTTPS or other secure protocols that
support state-of-the-art TLS 1.2 protocol with updated
cipher suites including AES encryption with 256 bit
keys. No software can be installed in the camera, and
only authenticated firmware can be uploaded. A threelevel password protection with security
recommendations allows users to customize device
access. Network and device access can be protected
using 802.1x network authentication with EAP/TLS
protocol. Superior protection from malicious attacks
is guaranteed by the Embedded Login Firewall, onboard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) support.
The advanced certificate handling offers:
• Self-signed unique certificates automatically
created when required
• Client and server certificates for authentication
• Client certificates for proof of authenticity
• Certificates with encrypted private keys
