with 35 mm (includes on-screen temperature
display with alarm) or high resolution with 50 mm
lens,
The MIC Series 612 camera has been designed to offer
an extremely reliable, robust, and high-quality
surveillance solution for security applications that
demand the very best performance. Precision
engineered to exacting standards, the camera offers
the most ruggedized dual optical/thermal image
capture solution available on the market today.
When powered by a MIC IP Power Supply, the MIC
camera becomes an IP-enabled device with extra
features such as Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), and
the ability to record video on a network-attached RAID
iSCSI storage device or locally on a user-supplied SD
or SDHC card (32 GB maximum). Operators can select
either the visible video image or the thermal video
image through the network connection provided by
the MIC IP Power Supply. The optional “hybrid”
operation provides video and control of the MIC
camera over both analog (Bilinx over coax) and IP
connections simultaneously. For more information, see
the MIC Series IP Power Supply datasheet on the
online Product Catalog at boschsecurity.com.

System overview
High-performance camera with simultaneous
thermal/optical video output
Image control and quality are integral aspects of any
PTZ camera, and the MIC612 delivers. A high-quality
day/night camera core with 36x optical zoom lens and
a full 12x digital zoom, and a high-performance, uncooled thermal imaging core sit side-by-side within the
housing. Each MIC612 has two video outputs – one for
the optical camera, and one that is user-switchable
between the optical camera and the thermal imager.
The optical camera provides 550 TVL of horizontal
resolution for outstanding clarity and image detail, and
incorporates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) that
dramatically improves the dynamic range by 128 times
and results in clear image reproduction in extreme
high-contrast environments. Features of AutoScaling
(proportional zoom) and AutoPivot (automatically
rotates and flips the camera) ensure optimal control.
Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make
the MIC612 an exceptional performer in all lighting
conditions. In low light, the optical camera
automatically switches from color to monochrome by
Page 2

removing the IR filter to boost sensitivity, while
maintaining superior image quality. For operation in
the darkest conditions, the SensUp control feature
automatically reduces the shutter speed to as little as
one second. This increases sensitivity by more than 50
times. In addition to low light applications, the optical
camera is also an exceptional performer when viewing
under a sodium vapor lamp (for example, a street lamp
or tunnel lamp) which normally gives a yellowish tint
to images. The camera automatically compensates and
restores objects to their original color.
The thermal imager has user-selectable color options
including White Hot, Black Hot, and many others, and
built-in sun protection that allows the camera to selfheal if pointed directly at the sun. Standard-resolution
models include a user-selectable on-screen
temperature display (spot meter) feature. These
models allow users to set high or low thermal
temperature limits and then to use the measured
temperature value from the spot meter to trigger alarm
functions based on those limits.

Robust design rated to an industry-leading IP68/
NEMA 6P
Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and
immersion tests (IP68 and NEMA 6P), MIC Series
cameras are perfectly suited for installation in even
the most unforgiving environments. Reliable ‘O’ ring
seals completely protect the internal components from
the external environment, meaning that there is no
need to pressurize the camera. To guarantee the seal,
the factory subjects each MIC camera to a 100% leak
test before shipping. In addition, the cameras’
aluminum construction is protected from corrosion by
two different processes: first, the cameras receive a
coating of Alodine 5200, a chromate-free conversion
coating of aluminum that is used in the aerospace and
defense industries where a protective layer is required
to improve corrosion resistance. Second, they receive
a robust, powder coat layer of paint.
Functions
Multi-protocol operation
The MIC612 incorporates Bosch’s standard controller
interface supporting familiar on-screen menus and
multiple protocols, including Bosch “Biphase (OSRD),”
“Bilinx,” and Pelco “P” and “D.” This makes it simple
to integrate and use the camera within systems that
already use Bosch AutoDome cameras and systems.
High performance PTZ operations
Brushless motor technology ensures ultra-reliable
operation with full 360° continuous rotation pan for
exceptional viewing capability. The camera supports
99 pre-positions and two styles of Guard Tours: Preset
and Record/Playback. The preset tour has capability
for up to 99 pre-positions with a configurable dwell
time between pre-positions, and can be customized as
to the order and frequency each preset is visited. The
camera also provides support for two recorded tours,
which have a combined duration of 15 minutes of
movements. These are recorded macros of an
operator’s movements, including pan, tilt, and zoom
activities, and can be played back in a continuous
manner.
Superior privacy masking and Image Stabilization
The MIC612 has 24 individual privacy masks, with up
to eight displayed in the same scene. Unlike
conventional privacy masks, these can be programmed
with three, four, or even five corners each to cover
more complex shapes. Each mask changes size and
shape smoothly and quickly, ensuring that the covered
object cannot be seen. Each mask can appear in black,
white, or blurred. Blurred is useful when privacy is an
issue, but determining the presence of motion is still
required.
As PTZ cameras continue to increase their optical
zoom capabilities, image stabilization becomes critical
to eliminate movement caused by unstable camera
mounts. A mere quarter-inch of movement of the
camera mount can shift the field of view by more than
6 m (20 feet) when the camera is zoomed to a high
value. This can render images unusable. Image
stabilization algorithms in the optical camera reduce
camera shake in both the vertical and horizontal axis,
resulting in exceptional image clarity (pixel
displacement up to +/- 10% for frequencies up to 10
Hz) without reducing camera sensitivity.
Easy installation and servicing
The MIC612 is compatible with all MIC Series brackets
and control equipment for easy installation,
integration, and operation. These brackets, as well as
connection cables and power supply units for the
Page 3
3 | MIC Series 612 Thermal Camera
camera, are sold separately. The camera can be
installed upright or inverted. No matter the installation
position, the camera will operate faultlessly.
Bosch’s Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices
(CTFID) allows users to control the PTZ, change
camera settings, and update firmware from remote
locations without need for additional wiring.
The camera has advanced built-in diagnostics to
simplify service and minimize downtime. Using the Onscreen Display (OSD), a technician can quickly and
easily check critical parameters (such as internal
temperature) to verify that the camera is functioning
within acceptable operating limits.
Integrated long-life silicone wiper
Thanks to its integrated wiper, the MIC612 is able to
capture the highest possible quality image regardless
of the weather.

For other countries, an export license application
must be submitted and approved before delivery
is possible. For more information, contact your
