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.
High dynamic range
The dynamic range of the camera is outstanding and is
obvious in real-world performance comparisons. In
extended dynamic range mode, the camera uses an
electronic shutter to capture four images with
different exposure time and reproduce a high-contrast
frame. The result is that you can view details in both
the bright areas (highlights) and the dark areas
(shadows) of a scene at the same time. You can easily
distinguish objects and features (for example, faces)
with bright backlight.
Ruggedized design for extreme applications
The camera is designed to last in surveillance
applications that are beyond the mechanical
capabilities of conventional positioning systems. The
entire metal body is anodized and has been
engineered to withstand high-impact, 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 has a closed-loop positioning system. The
system allows the camera to maintain its position
under continuous vibration or after an extreme shock
event, even without homing or pre-position calibration.
The camera benefits from Bosch domain knowledge in
material engineering and coatings. As a result, the
superior metallurgy and the finish of the camera
provide unprecedented protection against corrosion.
The camera has been tested to and meets the ISO
12944:6 standard C5-M - very high (marine) on
Aluminum Housing Components.
Defroster on the viewing window
The window defroster helps to decrease or to prevent
a build-up of ice on the camera window. Even in very
cold environments, where other cameras suffer from
frosted windows, the MIC camera lets you see more
and see better.
Note: This feature is available on enhanced models
only.
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 cameras are perfectly suited for
installation in even the most unforgiving environments.
Anodized aluminum housing and robust, powder coat
paint give unequalled corrosion protection to each
MIC camera. 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 unit integrity, the
factory tests each MIC camera for leaks before
shipping.
Pan and tilt drive mechanism
The pan and tilt mechanism is a ruggedized, directdrive system. The brushless motors directly control
the pan and tilt movement using a finely-tuned gear
train designed to minimize backlash and support
continuous operation without significant wear and
tear.
Note: The anti-backlash drivetrain is available on
enhanced models only.
With a full 360º continuous rotation pan and 290º tilt
control (on upright models without illuminators) and
super-quick pan (120°/second) and tilt (90°/second)
for exceptional viewing capability, the camera
outperforms other cameras in its class.
Snap to zoom
Drawing a box in the image will trigger the camera to
zoom to the correct position.
Dual-mode Illumination
The MIC illuminator accessory (sold separately) has IR
LEDs and White light LEDs. The illuminator is fieldinstallable.
Note: The cameras in this product family are
compatible with MIC-ILx-400 models only. The
distances and the performance depend on the
environmental light conditions.
The following table identifies the application for each
type of LED.
ApplicationType of illuminator
Close-range illumination940 nm IR LEDs
Long-range detection850 nm IR LEDs
Identification and deterrentWhite light LEDs
The MIC camera can steer the IR beam dynamically to
match the illumination intensity with the camera’s field
of view according to the zoom level.
Beam intensity is controlled automatically or manually,
depending on user preference. Decreasing intensity
reduces overexposure.
The patented, integrated Constant Light technology
delivers a consistent level of illumination performance
throughout the life of the product, even in fluctuating
temperatures.
White light mode allows operators to capture full
scene details in color or use the light as a deterrent
effect.
H.265 high-efficiency video encoding
The camera is designed on the most efficient and
powerful H.264 and H.265/HEVC encoding platform.
The camera is capable of delivering high-quality and
high-resolution video with very low network load. With
| MIC IP starlight 7100i
3
a doubling of encoding efficiency, H.265 is the new
compression standard of choice for IP video
surveillance systems.
Intelligent streaming
Smart encoding capabilities, together with Intelligent
Dynamic Noise Reduction technology and analytics,
reduce the bandwidth consumption to extremely low
levels. Only relevant information in the scene, like
motion, or objects found with the analytics, need to be
encoded.
The camera is capable of quad streaming which allows
the camera to deliver independent, configurable
streams for live viewing, recording, or remote
monitoring via constrained bandwidths.
Recording and storage management
Control recording management with the
Bosch Video Recording Manager application, or use
the local storage and iSCSI targets in the camera
directly without any recording software.
Use a memory card of a maximum of 2 TB for
recording "at the edge" or for Automatic Network
Replenishment (ANR) technology to improve the
reliability of the recording.
Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces bandwidth
consumption on the network and extends the effective
life of the memory card.
Note: The memory card feature is available for
enhanced models only.
Intelligent Video Analytics on the edge
The camera includes the latest release of
Intelligent Video Analytics application for use on prepositions.
Designed for mission-critical applications, the video
analytics can reliably detect, track, and analyze moving
objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from
spurious sources in the image, even in harsh weather
conditions.
Advanced tasks like multiple line crossing, loitering,
idle / removed object detection, crowd density
estimation, occupancy and people counting are
available for live alarming and forensic search. Object
filters based on size, speed, direction, aspect ratio,
and color can be defined.
A simplified calibration mode reduces installation time
significantly, because you only need to enter the
installation height once for each camera, independent
of pre-positions.
After the camera is calibrated, the analytics engine can
automatically classify objects as upright person, car,
bike, or truck.
Support for specific use cases
The video analytics software offers easy setup by
providing optimal default values for several
applications. Calibrate the camera, then simply select
the desired use case and adapt the offered alarm
fields and lines to your field of view. This is available
for the following scenarios:
• Intrusion detection: small area, single alarm field
• Intrusion detection: long distance, two alarm fields
have to trigger
• People counting
• Traffic monitoring: wrong way detection
• Traffic monitoring: automatic incident detection with
wrong way detection, pedestrian detection, slow
vehicles, stopped vehicles and dropped objects
Video Analytics while camera is moving
Outside of pre-positions and even while the PTZ
camera is moving, whether on guard tours or manually,
the Intelligent Video Analytics application can detect
and start alarms when objects are in alarm fields.
These alarm fields are defined once across all PTZ
camera views. The camera can automatically trigger an
alarm if any part of a field within the camera's view
becomes active while on a guard tour sweeping across
the monitored areas.
Camera Trainer
Based on examples of target objects and non-target
objects, the new Camera Trainer program uses
machine learning to allow the user to define objects of
interest and generate detectors for them. In contrast
to the moving objects that the Intelligent Video
Analytics application detects, the Camera Trainer
program detects both moving and non-moving objects
and classifies them immediately. Using Configuration
Manager, you can configure the Camera Trainer
program using both live video as well as recordings
available through the respective camera. The resulting
detectors can be downloaded and uploaded for
distribution to other cameras.
A free of charge license is required to activate the
Camera Trainer program.
Intelligent Tracking
When the Intelligent Video Analytics application in the
camera detects objects or individuals, the camera can
automatically activate the Intelligent Tracking feature,
which controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the
camera to track objects and keep them in view.
The newest generation of the Intelligent Tracking
feature ensures smoother camera motion for more
comfortable viewing and more reliable tracking of
objects even under challenging scenes.
Areas with potentially interfering background motion
(moving trees, pulsating lights, and busy roads) can be
masked out.
The camera supports 2 Intelligent Tracking modes:
• Auto mode: In this mode, the camera follows any
object that has triggered an alarm in the
Intelligent Video Analytics application. This mode is
most useful for scenarios where the alarm cases can
be clearly defined, for example, when no motion is
expected at all.
• Click mode: In this mode, users can click on any
object detected by the Intelligent Video Analytics
application 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.

Image Stabilization
Cameras on unstable mounts can move sufficiently to
change the field of view. The higher the zoom value,
the larger the change of the field of view. This change
can make images unusable.
The camera has an Image stabilization algorithm that
lets the camera sense continuous vibration. If it
detects vibration, the camera corrects the shaky video
in the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. The result is
excellent image clarity and a stable field of view on the
monitor. The Image stabilization function is important
to eliminate movement that unstable camera mounts
cause.
Simple set-up
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Configurable scene
modes are provided with the best settings for a variety
of applications.
• Standard
This mode is optimized for most standard scenes both
indoor and outdoor.
• Sensitivity boost
This mode provides maximum sensitivity in low light
scenes by using longer exposure times, resulting in
bright images even in extreme low light.
• Fast movement
This mode is used for monitoring fast moving objects
like cars in traffic scenes. Motion artifacts are
minimized and the image is optimized for a sharp and
detailed picture in color and monochrome.
• Vibrant
This mode provides a more vivid image with increased
contrast, sharpness, and saturation.
• Color Only (Traffic)
In this mode, the camera does not switch to
monochrome mode at low light levels. The mode is
optimized to minimize motion artifacts and to capture
the color of vehicles/pedestrians and traffic lights,
even at night, for scenarios such as city surveillance
and traffic monitoring.
• Illuminator
This mode gives optimized performance when using
the MIC illuminator accessory.
Custom mode #1 and Custom mode #2 give users the
option to customize 2 scene modes of their own.
Auto Exposure (AE) region and Focus region
With the Auto Exposure (AE) function, the camera
computes the lighting condition of the entire scene.
Then the camera determines the optimum level of iris,
gain, and shutter speed.
In AE region mode, users can designate a specified
area of the scene, based on pre-positions. The camera
computes the lighting condition of the specified area.
Then the camera determines the optimum level of iris,
gain, and shutter speed to get an image.
Focus region mode, unlike normal auto focus mode,
allows users to focus on a specified area of the scene.
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, on-board
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
Software sealing
After camera configuration is set and should not be
changed, system administrators can enable software
protection that seals the camera configuration. Any
change of the sealing status and any change to static
configuration, accidentally or intentional, will break
the seal. The camera then sends an alarm message
that the video management system can use to start an
appropriate alarm scenario. The camera creates a
separate log file of all changes that have an effect on
the sealing status.
System integration and ONVIF conformance
The camera conforms to the specifications for ONVIF
Profile S and ONVIF Profile G. (ONVIF is the acronym
for Open Network Video Interface Forum.) For H.265
configuration, the camera also supports Media Service
2, which is part of ONVIF Profile T. Compliance with
these standards guarantees interoperability between
network video products, regardless of manufacturer.
Third-party integrators can easily access the internal
feature set of the camera for integration into large
projects. For more information, see the Bosch
Integration Partner Program (IPP) website
(ipp.boschsecurity.com).
Ease of installation
The camera has been designed for quick and easy
installation, a key feature from Bosch IP video security
products.
