The DINION IP starlight 8000 MP offers a new
standard in round-the-clock video surveillance.
Regardless of lighting conditions, time-of-day or object
movement, the camera delivers relevant IP video 24/7.
Capturing images at 5 megapixel resolution (3K) even
under extreme low-light conditions, it gives amazing
images in fine detail. The camera produces multimegapixel full-color video in near darkness, and
delivers detailed monochrome images where other
cameras show no image at all.
System overview
Advanced image processing techniques take the
DINION IP starlight 8000 MP to the next level.
Intelligent Video Analysis tracks and focuses on
relevant situations and adds sense and structure to
stored video, allowing you to quickly retrieve the
correct data.
Intelligent Auto Exposure gives superb front and back
light compensation, providing the perfect picture every
time.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction saves bitrate at
the source and only uses bandwidth when needed.
This results in up to 50% less bitrate which
significantly reduces storage costs and network strain
without compromising on video quality.

Functions
Exceptional low-light performance
The latest sensor technology, combined with the
sophisticated noise suppression, results in a sensitivity
of 0.0121 lx at full 5MP resolution in color and even
0.00825 lx at 1080p resolution. The low-light
performance is so good that the camera continues to
provide excellent color performance even with a
minimum of ambient light.
Measured dynamic range
The dynamic range of the camera is outstanding and is
obvious in real-world performance comparisons —
97 dB wide dynamic range for 5MP mode (plus an
extra 16 dB when combined with Intelligent Auto
Exposure).
The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured
using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF)
analysis with a standardized test chart based on ISO
standards. This method provides more realistic and
verifiable results in comparison with the theoretical
approximations sometimes used.

Intelligent Video Analysis
After only 20 minutes you can miss 90% of the activity
on a screen. Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA ) assists by
alerting you when predefined alarms are triggered. By
smartly combining up to 8 IVA rules, complex tasks are
made easy and false alarms are reduced to a minimum.
IVA also adds sense and structure to your video by
adding metadata. 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.
Intelligent Auto Exposure
Fluctuations in backlight and front light can ruin your
images. To achieve the perfect picture in every
situation, Intelligent Auto Exposure automatically
adjusts the exposure of the camera. It offers superb
front light compensation and incredible backlight
compensation by automatically adapting to changing
light conditions.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
Quiet scenes with little or no movement require a
lower bitrate. By intelligently distinguishing between
noise and relevant information, Intelligent Dynamic
Noise Reduction reduces bitrate by up to 50%.
Because noise is reduced at the source during image
capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise on
video quality.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction adjusts spatial
and temporal filtering (3DNR) based on intelligent
analysis of the scene content. Motion compensated
temporal filtering (MCTF) reduces motion blur
normally associated with standard temporal filtering.
This maintains image quality of fast moving objects
while still optimizing bitrate.
With Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, our focus is
to significantly reduce storage costs, and lessen
network strain by only using bandwidth when needed.
Area-based encoding
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.
Bitrate optimized profile
The average typical optimized bitrate in kbits/s for
various frame rates is shown in the table:

21009917326
Selectable resolution and aspect ratio
The camera has three basic application variants that
can be chosen at start-up to provide the best possible
performance for typical applications:
• 5MP (16:9)
• 5.5MP (4:3)
• 1080p
The 5MP variants can be used in applications where
the highest resolution possible is required. The
1080p30 (16:9) variant is for applications that require
extra sensitivity and dynamic range.
Each of these variants selects the best possible tuning
parameters for the application so that you get the best
performance possible from your camera.
Scene modes
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Nine configurable
modes are provided with the best settings for a variety
of applications. Different scene modes can be selected
for day or night situations.
• Indoor – general day-to-night changes in an indoor
environment without sun highlights or street lighting
effects.
• Outdoor – general day-to-night changes in an outdoor
environment with sun highlights and street lighting
effects.
• Night-optimized – optimized for details in low light
environments.
• Low bit rate – reduces bandwidth requirements.
• Intelligent AE – optimized for scenes with fluctuating
front and back light caused by sunlight or other
illuminated objects in the scene.
• Vibrant – enhanced contrast, sharpness and
saturation.
• Sports and gaming – high-speed capture, and
improved color rendition and sharpness.
• Traffic – for monitoring traffic movement on roads or
parking lots. It can also be used in industrial
applications where fast moving objects are to be
monitored. Motion artifacts are minimized.
• Retail – improved color rendition and sharpness with
reduced bandwidth requirements.
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, plus easy integration with third-party video
management systems.
Depending on the resolution and frame rate selected
for the first stream, the second stream provides a copy
of the first stream or a lower resolution 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.
Intelligent Tracking continuously analyses the scene
for moving objects. If a moving object is detected, the
camera automatically adjusts its settings, including
field of view, to optimally capture details of the object
of interest.
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
+12 VDC power supplies. To increase system
reliability, the camera can be simultaneously
connected to both PoE and +12 VDC supplies.
Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
be used to ensure continuous operation, even during a
power failure.
For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports
Auto-MDIX which allows the use of straight or crossover cables.
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
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to
2 TB of local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in
RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network,
and extends the effective life of the memory card.
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 free-of-charge
Bosch Video Client, with the video security mobile
app, or via third-party software.
System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF Profile S
specification. This guarantees interoperability between
network video products regardless of manufacturer.
