System overview
The wide dynamic range sensor gives high quality
1080p HD images during the daytime and provides
exceptional night-time performance with the
integrated IR. The SR (Super Resolution) lens is
designed to provide improved image resolution and
sharpness, and better depth-of-field while avoiding the
diffraction issues which can occur with megapixel
sensors. Its advanced SR-iris design ensures the
sharpest image possible, even in the corners.

transforms camera into automated detector
The highly integrated all-in-one solution, with
integrated illuminator and junction box, reduces
installation time. This, together with remote lens
adjustment and remote IR level control makes
installation a lot easier and more convenient.
The reliable, rugged construction makes the imager
suitable for tough environments and demanding
applications such as perimeter surveillance, critical
infrastructure surveillance and public area
surveillance.
The camera contains the Bosch Intelligent Video
Analysis (IVA) application making it a very powerful
tool in unmanned perimeter surveillance applications.
IVA also contributes to the content-based scene
analysis which optimizes image processing and
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements.
Functions
Content-Based Imaging Technology
Content-Based Imaging Technology (C-BIT) 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. With IVA, the intelligent Automatic
Exposure (iAE) technology, for example, allows you to
view moving objects in bright and dark areas of a
scene.
High performance IR illumination
The integrated high-power infrared illuminator
operates at a wavelength of 850 nm which provides
semi-covert illumination with an excellent range. IR
intensity is remotely adjustable. The illuminator can be
tilted, and the width of the IR beam is adjusted by
placing the 3D diffuser in the IR illumination path. This
ability to adjust the IR beam pattern in the field gives a
broad coverage and greatly reduces setup time and
effort. Variable field illumination also provides even
illumination not only across the horizontal field of view
but also from foreground to background.
IR on/off and camera day/night switching is controlled
by the image brightness level and the ambient visible
light sensor. The switch point is also remotely
adjustable.
To ensure this performance never fades over time, the
IR imager features constant light technology, using
closed-loop feedback to control infrared performance
throughout the life of the unit.
Excellent DCRI performance
The Detection, Classification, Recognition,
Identification (DCRI) framework is a set of definitions
for image quality applicable to optical imaging
equipment under different lighting and environmental
conditions day and night. The DINION IP imager 9000
HD has excellent range performance when evaluated
according to these standards as shown in the
following table:
IR performance ranges (0 lx environment)
Detection 120 m (394 ft)
Classification 120 m (394 ft)
Recognition 33 m (108 ft)
Identification 30 m (98 ft)
DCRI values are narrow IR beam configuration at maximum focal length.
Installer friendly
The IP66-rated waterproof and dustproof junction box
can be preinstalled and the camera can be hung and
connected in seconds, reducing time and energy on
the ladder. If PoE+ power is used, a single cable is all
that is needed to stream images and to carry power
and control signals.
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. 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 can be activated remotely from
the PC or from the on-board camera push button
making it easy to choose the workflow that suits best.
All-weather, vandal-resistant design
The integrated cast-aluminum housing can withstand
the equivalent of 20 joule of impact force (IK10),
equivalent to a 5 kg (12 lbs) steel ball dropped from
40cm (IK10 not for lens and IR windows), and is
protected against water, dust and corrosion to IP66
and NEMA 4X standards.
This makes it ideal for outdoor use in demanding
environments. Using the proprietary pan/tilt
mechanism, installers can select the exact field of
view. Mounting options are numerous, including pole,
wall and corner mounting.
Video analytics
With built-in video content analysis, the camera
reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent.
The latest generation of the Bosch Intelligent Video
Analysis (IVA) software is the guard-assistant system
of choice when reliable indoor or outdoor video
analytics is needed. The state-of-the-art system reliably
detects, tracks, and analyzes moving objects while
suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources
in the image.
The face detection feature detects faces in the scene
and forwards a high quality JPEG image of the best
shot of each face when the face disappears from the
scene.
Retrospective forensic search capabilities are available
remotely from the web browser or the Bosch Video
Client.
iDNR reduces bandwidth and storage requirements
The camera uses intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
(iDNR) which actively analyzes the contents of a scene
and reduces noise artifacts accordingly.
The low-noise image and the efficient H.264
compression technology provide clear images while
reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 30%
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.
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.
The average typical optimized bandwidth in kbits/s for
various image rates is shown in the table:
IPS 1080p 720p 480p
30 1600 1200 600
15 1274 955 478

12 1169 877 438
5 757 568 284
2 326 245 122
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.
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.
With IVA, the Intelligent tracker can follow objects
within the defined regions of interest. The Intelligent
tracker can autonomously detect and track moving
objects or the user can click on an object which the
Intelligent tracker will then follow.
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.
A hardware tamper switch detects the opening of the
junction box.
Storage management
Recording management can be controlled by the
Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) or the camera
can use iSCSI targets directly without any recording
software.
Edge recording
The MicroSD card slot supports up to 2 TB 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.
Access security
Password protection with three levels and 802.1x
authentication is supported. To secure Web browser
access, use HTTPS with a SSL certificate stored in the
camera. The video and audio communication channels
can be independently AES encrypted with 128-bit keys
by installing the optional encryption site license.
Complete viewing software
There are many ways to access the camera’s features:
using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, with the Bosch Recording
System, with the free-of-charge Bosch Video Client, or
with the video security mobile App.
The Bosch Video Client PC surveillance software offers
a user-friendly interface to support easy installation
and configuration. It also provides easy live viewing of
multiple cameras, playback, forensic search and
export.
Video security App
The Bosch video security mobile App has been
developed to enable Anywhere access to HD
surveillance images allowing you to view live images
from any location. The App is designed to give you
complete control of all your cameras, from panning
and tilting to zoom and focus functions. It’s like taking
your control room with you.
This App, together with the separately available Bosch
transcoder, will allow you to fully utilize our dynamic
transcoding features so you can play back images even
over low-bandwidth connections.
System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) Profile S specification. This
guarantees interoperability between network video
products regardless of manufacturer. For trouble-free
network cabling, the camera supports Auto-MDIX
which allows the use of straight or cross-over cables.
Third-party integrators can easily access the internal
feature set of the camera for integration into large
projects. Visit the Bosch Integration Partner Program
(IPP) website (ipp.boschsecurity.com) for more
