The Bosch NBC-255-P and NBC-225-P IP cameras are
ready-to-use, complete network video surveillance
systems inside a compact camera. These cameras bring
Bosch’s high-performance technology into the realm of
small office and retail businesses by offering a costeffective solution for a broad range of applications.
To use the camera as a stand-alone video surveillance
system, simply take it out of the box and install it; it
operates straight away, no additional equipment is
required.
For medium-to-large-scale or growing systems, the camera
easily integrates with the Bosch Divar 700 Series
recorder. It uses H.264 compression technology to give
clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up
to 30%.
Functions
Best-in-class image performance
The Bosch NBC-255-P and NBC-225-P IP cameras deliver
the clearest images and most accurate colors within its
class. Progressive scan ensures moving objects are always
sharp.
Tri-streaming video
Tri-streaming allows a data stream to be encoded
simultaneously according to three different, individually
customized settings. Two types of streams can serve
different purposes. For example, use H.264 stream for
local recording and viewing, and the M-JPEG stream to
provide compatibility with legacy DVRs.
Efficient recording
A removable SD/SDHC card offers edge recording inside
the camera. This SD card not only saves network
bandwidth but also reduces the requirement for a highcapacity hard disk or DVR. When used with an SD card,
the camera is a complete, self-contained surveillance
system without the need for additional equipment.
The camera can also be used with an iSCSI server
connected via the network to store long-term recordings.
16-channel PC surveillance software
The bundled PC surveillance software offers a userfriendly interface to support easy installation and
configuration. A wizard allows the configuration of
multiple cameras simultaneously using an auto detection
device. Multiple cameras can be monitored in one screen
and video clips on the SD card can be archived and
searched in a single application.

ONVIF 1.0 compliant
The latest Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF)
standard ensures compatibility with other surveillance
products. This will contribute to a reduction in future
upgrade or migration costs.
Two-way audio and audio alarm
Two-way audio allows remote users to listen in on an area
and communicate messages to visitors or intruders via an
external loudspeaker (not included). Audio detection can
be used to generate an alarm, if needed.
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.
Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-overEthernet (IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable
connection. With this configuration, only a single cable
connection is required to view, power, and control the
camera.
