System overview

Outdoor bullet camera with Automatic Varifocal lens

The robust aluminum housing provides high
installation flexibility. The camera resists both water
and dust ingress in tough environments and is rated to
IP67 standards. The 2.8 to 12 mm AVF (Automatic
Varifocal) lens allows you to choose the coverage area
remotely.
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 is
activated from the PC or from the on-board camera
push button making it easy to choose the workflow
that suits best.

u Built-in IR illuminator with 60 m (196 ft) viewing

distance

u 1080p30 for highly detailed images

u Built-in Essential Video Analytics to trigger relevant

alerts and quickly retrieve data

u Fully configurable H.265 multi-streaming

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.

Functions

Essential Video Analytics

The built-in video analysis reinforces the Intelligence­at-the-Edge concept and now delivers even more
powerful features. Essential Video Analytics is ideal for
use in controlled environments with limited detection
ranges.
The system reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes
objects, and alerts you when predefined alarms are
triggered. A smart set of alarm rules makes complex
tasks easy and reduces false alarms to a minimum.
Metadata is attached to your video to add sense and
structure. This enables you to quickly retrieve the
relevant images from hours of stored video. Metadata
can also be used to deliver irrefutable forensic
evidence or to optimize business processes based on
people counting or crowd density information.

Calibration is quick and easy – just enter the height of
the camera. The internal gyro/accelerometer sensor
provides the rest of the information to precisely
calibrate the video analytics.

Intelligent streaming reduces bandwidth and storage
requirements

The low-noise image and the efficient H.265
compression technology provide clear images while
reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 80%
compared to standard H.264 cameras. With this new
generation of cameras an extra level of intelligence is
added with Intelligent Streaming. The camera provides
the most usable image possible by cleverly optimizing
the detail-to-bandwidth ratio. The smart encoder
continuously scans the complete scene as well as
regions of the scene and dynamically adjust
compression based on relevant information like
movement. Together with Intelligent Dynamic Noise
Reduction, which actively analyzes the contents of a
scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly, bitrates
are reduced by up to 80%. Because noise is reduced at
the source during image capture, the lower bitrate
does not compromise image quality. This results in
substantially lower storage costs and network strain
and still retain a high image quality and smooth
motion.

Bitrate optimized profile

The average typical optimized bitrate in kbits/s for
various frame rates when in H.265 mode is shown in
the table:

fps 1080p 720p

30 600 450

12 438 329

5 284 213

2 122 92

Multiple streams

The innovative multi-streaming feature delivers various
H.264 or H.265 streams together with an M‑JPEG
stream. These streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient
viewing and recording as well as integration with third­party video management systems.
The camera can run multiple independent streams that
allows to set a different resolution and frame rate on
the first and second stream. The user can also choose
to use a copy of the first stream.
The third stream uses the I-frames of the first stream
for recording; the fourth stream shows a JPEG image
at a maximum of 10 Mbit/s.

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.

Two-way audio and audio alarm

Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate
with visitors or intruders via an external audio line
input and output. 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.

Storage management

Recording management can be controlled by the
Bosch Video Recording Manager
(Video Recording Manager) 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.

Easy installation

Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power­over-Ethernet compliant network cable connection.
With this configuration, only a single cable connection
is required to view, power, and control the camera.
Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost­effective, as cameras do not require a local power
source.
The camera can also be supplied with power from
24 VAC or +12 VDC SELV class 2 power supplies.
For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports
Auto-MDIX which allows the use of straight or cross­over cables.

True day/night switching

The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology
for vivid daytime color and exceptional night-time
imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all
lighting conditions.

Hybrid mode

An analog video output enables the camera to operate
in hybrid mode. This mode provides simultaneous high
resolution HD video streaming and an analog video

3 | NBE-4502-AL Bullet 2MP 2.8-12mm auto IP67 IK10

output via a BNC connector. The hybrid functionality
offers an easy migration path from legacy CCTV to a
modern IP-based system.

DORI coverage

DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) is a
standard system (EN-62676-4) for defining the ability
of a camera to distinguish persons or objects within a
covered area. The maximum distance at which a
camera/lens combination can meet these criteria is
shown below:
