continuous low-frequency vibration. The camera
models comply to IK10 rating for impact resistance
and to the IEC 60068 standards applicable to vibration
and shock.
The camera is designed specifically for use in extreme
environments around the world. Standard models can
operate in a temperature range of -40 °C to +60 °C
(-40 °F to +140 °F) . Models for extreme low
temperature can operate in a temperature range of -60
°C to +50 °C (-76 °F to +122 °F).
The camera benefits from Bosch Automotive domain
knowledge in material engineering and coatings. As a
result, the superior metallurgy and the finish of the
camera provide unprecedented protection against
corrosion, meeting the ASTM B117 standard for
corrosion resistance.

Intelligent Defog

Users can configure the mode to be active
continuously, or to activate automatically when the
video analytics in the camera detect fog and add light
to the video image (and then deactivate when the fog
clears or the scene changes).

Integrated wiper

Regardless of the weather, the MIC camera is able to
capture the highest possible quality image all year
long, thanks to its integrated, long-life silicone wiper.

Window-defrosting function

In addition, the camera incorporates an internal long­life blower that directs warm air towards the inside of
the front window of the camera, providing an effective
window-defrosting function.

High-performance imaging platforms

Image control and quality are integral aspects of any
PTZ camera, and the MIC IP starlight 7000 HD camera
delivers outstanding clarity and image detail.
The camera has a professional-grade imaging platform
capable of delivering 720p50/60 HD resolution in
environments with ambient light extremes. The camera
also has a 30x optical zoom lens (12x digital zoom)
and flexible mounting options (upright, inverted, or
canted) to achieve the perfect field of view.
Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make
the camera an exceptional performer in all lighting
conditions. In low light, the camera automatically
switches from color to monochrome by removing the
IR filter to boost sensitivity, while maintaining superior
image quality. For operation in the darkest conditions,
automatic control of shutter speeds increases
sensitivity by more than 50 times.
Starlight models have a 720p50/60 HD imaging
platform with starlight technology. The camera
produces detailed video images in scenes with limited
ambient lighting, without any motion blur associated
with cameras that use slow shutters. The camera has
been tuned to deliver high-quality HD video in both day
and night operation.

Sodium vapor lamp white balance

The camera is an exceptional performer when
capturing video under a sodium vapor lamp (a street
lamp or tunnel lamp, for example). Uncorrected
images under these conditions have a yellowish tint,
which can make identification difficult. In the Sodium
Vapor White Balance mode, the camera automatically
compensates for the light from a sodium vapor lamp to
restore objects to their original color.

Dual-mode Illumination

The field-installable MIC illuminator accessory (sold
separately) enables Detection of objects 175 m (575
ft) away using IR light. Unique 3D Diffuser technology
ensures even illumination across the entire scene.
Ensuring long-term reliability, the patented, integrated
Constant Light technology automatically controls and
adjusts output to deliver a consistent level of
illumination performance throughout the life of the
product, even when operating in fluctuating
temperatures. The illuminator accessory consists of
both IR and White light LEDs .Operators can switch
between the two light sources with a single click.

Five (5) pre-programmed user modes

Five pre-programmed but configurable user modes,
optimized with the best settings for a variety of typical
applications, make on-site programming easy and user­friendly. Users select from the menu the mode that
best defines the environment in which the camera is
installed:

• General – Default mode. Suitable for most
applications.

• Low light – Optimized performance for scenes with
low light level.

• Motion – Optimized to minimize motion artifacts,
such as when monitoring traffic or fast-moving
objects.

• Vibrant – Provides enhanced contrast, color
reproduction, and sharpness.

• Illuminator – Optimized performance when using the
MIC illuminator accessory.

Users have the ability to customize these modes, if
necessary, for the specific requirements of the site.

Image Stabilization

As PTZ cameras continue to increase their optical
zoom capabilities, image stabilization becomes critical
to eliminate movement caused by unstable camera
mounts. Minor movement of the camera mount can
shift the field of view by a large distance when the
camera is zoomed to a high value. This can render
images unusable. The camera incorporates an Image
Stabilization algorithm that allows the camera to
detect continuous vibration. If it detects vibration, the
camera dynamically corrects the shaky video in both
the vertical and horizontal axis, resulting in
exceptional image clarity and a stable field of view on
the monitor.

Superior privacy masking

The camera allows for a total of 24 individual privacy
masks, with up to eight displayed in the same scene.
These can be programmed with four corners each.
Each mask changes size and shape smoothly and
quickly, ensuring that the covered object cannot be
seen.

Sophisticated alarm responses

The camera supports advanced alarm control that uses
sophisticated rules-based logic to determine how to
manage alarms. In its most basic form, a “rule” could
define which input(s) should activate which output(s).
In a more complex form, inputs and outputs can be
combined with pre-defined or user-specified
commands to perform advanced camera functions.

PTZ drive and mechanism

With a full 360º continuous rotation pan and 290º tilt
control (on upright models without illuminators) and
super-quick pan (120°/second) and tilt (60°/second)
for exceptional viewing capability, the camera
outperforms other cameras in its class. Small
increment pan speeds from just 0.2º/second to 120º/
second gives the user precise control. This speed

control is especially important when used with video
analytic systems, particularly for tracking subjects
when fully zoomed in.
The AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and AutoPivot
(automatically rotates the camera) features ensure
optimal control.
The camera supports 256 pre-positions and four
separate Guard Tours. A standard preset tour has
capability for up to 256 pre-positions, with a
configurable dwell time between pre-positions. A
custom preset tour has capability for up to 64 pre­positions that can be programmed in any order with a
configurable dwell time between pre-positions. Two
record/playback tours allow recording of the camera
movements that an operator makes, including pan, tilt,
and zoom, and can be played back in a continuous
manner. The total duration of record/playback tours
can be up to a maximum of 30 minutes. The duration
varies depending on the amount of commands sent to
the camera during recording.

Content Based Imaging Technology

Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) is used to
radically improve image quality in all lighting
conditions and to identify areas for enhanced
processing. The camera examines the scene using
intelligent video analytics and provides feedback to re­tune the image processing. This provides better detail
in the areas that matter and better all-round
performance. The Intelligent Defog technology, for
example, allows you to view video clearly through a
foggy scene or can improve contrast in dark areas of a
scene.

Noise reduction features reduce bandwidth and
storage requirements

The camera uses advanced noise reduction algorithms
to analyze the scene and reduce noise artifacts.
The low-noise image and the efficient H.264
compression technology combine to provide clear
images while reducing bandwidth and storage
compared to other H.264 cameras. This results in
reduced-bandwidth streams that still retain a high
image quality and smooth motion. The camera
provides the most usable image possible by cleverly
optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio.

Intelligence

With built-in Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), the
camera reinforces the concept of Intelligence at the
Edge. IVA is Bosch’s state-of-the-art intelligent video
content analysis technology. With IVA, the camera
reliably detects and analyzes moving objects while
suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources
in the image. IVA also allows the camera to detect
multiple object behaviors including idle and removed
objects, loitering, multiple line crossing, and
trajectories. IVA supports BEV (Bird’s-Eye-View)
People Counter and Assisted Self-Calibration.
Configurable detection filters improve reliability and
reduce operator work load.

Intelligent Tracking

The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video
Analytics (IVA) to follow an individual or an object
continuously. Objects detected by IVA when the
camera is in a stationary position activate the
Intelligent Tracking feature, which controls the pan/
tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the tracked
object in the scene.
The new Intelligent Tracking is based on robust flow
detection algorithms which can reliably track moving
objects even under challenging scenes.
The tracking and detection reliability can be enhanced
further with virtual masking for scenes with a lot of
background motion such as trees or other objects
creating constant motion in the scene.
The camera supports three modes for Intelligent
Tracking:

• Auto mode: When configured in this mode, the
camera actively analyzes the video to detect any
moving object. If it detects movement, it begins to
track the object. This mode is most useful for
scenarios where no motion is expected in the scene.

• Click mode: In this mode, users can click an object
moving in the live video image to enable the camera
to track the movement of the selected object. This
mode is most useful for scenarios where normal
scene activity is expected.

• IVA-triggered mode: In this mode, the camera
continuously analyzes the scene for IVA alarms or IVA
rule violations. If an IVA rule is violated, it triggers the
advanced tracking feature of the camera to start
following the object / person that triggered the alarm.
This unique combination of robust IVA and Intelligent
Tracking allows the camera to track moving objects of
interest without getting distracted by other moving
objects in the scene.

Virtual masking

The camera offers Virtual Masking, which gives users
flexibility to mask parts of the scene which should not
be considered for flow analysis to trigger Intelligent
Tracking. This allows users to mask from IVA/Tracking
any background motion (moving trees, pulsating lights,
and busy roads) in the scene without blocking the
motion from the video.

Common product platform (CPP4)

The camera has an advanced, efficient H.264 encoder
(CPP4) embedded for high quality HD streaming video
and very efficient streaming and network capabilities.
The new platform supports simultaneous streaming of
individually configurable HD streams, and allows a
choice of HD resolution in combination of SD
resolutions.

Advanced streaming

The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities so
that you can configure the camera to take advantage of
the latest network technology.
The camera is designed on the most efficient and
powerful H.264 encoding platform capable of
delivering high-quality HD video with very low network

load. The new intelligent encoding capabilities drops
the bandwidth consumption to extremely low levels if
the camera detects no motion in the scene.
The camera is capable of quad streaming which allows
the camera to be configured to deliver independent,
configurable streams for live viewing, recording, or
remote monitoring on constrained bandwidths.

ONVIF conformant

The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. The ONVIF Profile S
specification allows easy integration with the
conformant devices and VMS. ONVIF conformant
devices are able to exchange live video, audio,
metadata, and control information, and ensure that
they are automatically discovered and connected to
network applications such as video management
systems.

Ease of installation

The camera has been designed for quick and easy
installation, a key feature from Bosch CCTV products.
The camera supports mounting in upright, inverted, or
canted orientation. The field-selectable canting option
allows the upper section of the camera to be tilted
down at a 45° angle. This is very useful for installations
that require a view of the scene directly under the
camera. No matter the installation position, the
camera will provide the perfect field of view.
The MIC Series has a wide range of mounting
accessories, including a new Hinged DCA mount, a wall
mount, a corner mount, and a pole mount. In addition,
a sunshield is available for camera installations in hot,
sunny locations.
The MIC Hinged DCA (MIC-DCA-Hx) provides a
convenient mounting point for a MIC camera.
The hinge feature allows installers to “hang” the
MIC7000 camera temporarily during installation for
easier connection of cables/wiring before final bolts
are installed.
Made from cast aluminum, the hinged DCA is deeper
than the standard MIC-DCA in order to easily
accommodate the connections from the base of the
camera, and has two M25 holes (or 3/4 in. NPT holes
using the conduit adapter (male M25 to female 3/4"
NPT) (Available in specific regions only.)) to accept
weatherproof conduit or cable glands. An O-ring
provides an IP68-rated seal between the base of the
camera and the top of the DCA.
For installations in locations that require additional
protection for the camera’s electrical connectors, a
special weatherproof kit is available. The kit includes
IP67-rated watertight glands that seal the connectors
to prevent damage from high humidity or moisture
condensation.

Bosch offers several power/control accessories,
including a high-capacity 24 VAC power supply, and an
inexpensive ‘alarm/washer’ interface accessory unit to
connect external alarm signals and control optional
external washer pump devices.
If a more sophisticated installation is required,
connect the camera to the advanced accessory named
VIDEOJET connect, which includes an integrated HPoE
network connection, two standard network interfaces,
integrated Bosch transcoder technology, Compact
Flash-based local storage, a built-in network switch,
alarm/washer control interfaces, audio I/O, and two
sockets for SFP-based network fiber optic modules.

Robust design rated to an industry-leading IP68,
Type 6P, IK10

Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and
immersion tests (IP68, Type 6P) and impact test
(IK10), MIC Series cameras are perfectly suited for
installation in even the most unforgiving environments.
The cameras’ aluminum housing receives a corrosion
protection surface treatment, along with robust,
powder coat paint. 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 submerges each MIC camera to ensure seal
integrity before shipping.

Dual power options

The camera can be powered by a network compliant
to High Power-over-Ethernet (Bosch’s version of High
PoE) using a Bosch model of High PoE Midspans (sold
separately). With this configuration, only a single
(Cat5e/Cat6e) cable connection is required to view, to
power, and to control the camera.
The camera can also accept a standard 24 VAC power
source if a High PoE network interface will not be
used. User-supplied wiring must be in compliance with
electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
For maximum reliability, the camera can be connected
simultaneously to a High PoE Midspan and a separate
24 VAC power source. If High PoE and 24 VAC are
applied simultaneously, the camera usually selects
auxiliary input (24 VAC) and will draw minimal power
from the High PoE Midspan. If the 24 VAC power
source fails, the camera switches power input
seamlessly to High PoE. After the 24 VAC power
source is restored, the camera switches power input
again to 24 VAC.
If connected to both power sources, the camera will
operate at 24 VAC if High PoE is not available.
The 60 W midspan (NPD-6001A) can supply power to
standard models without an illuminator accessory. The
95 W midspan (NPD-9501A) can supply power to all
models of MIC7000, including standard models with
the illuminator accessory as well as models for
extreme low temperature.
