System overview
Performance
The DINION IP ultra 8000 MP with 12 megapixel resolution
offers crisp, clear and extremely detailed images for the most
demanding IP video surveillance requirements. It captures 12
megapixel at 20 fps, and 4K UHD at 30 fps, so providing images
of fast moving objects in high resolutions. The content-rich
image allows effective retrospective analysis at the level of
detail that makes the difference when collecting forensic
evidence.
The camera offers a wide-angle overview and multiple focus
points on a single screen so now you can focus on details
without losing the bigger picture.
This IP camera operates as a network video server to transmit
video and control signals over Ethernet LANs and the Internet.
The integrated encoder uses H.264 compression technology to
give clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage
requirements.
Lens options
Versions
The camera is available in the following versions:
– Camera body with permanently attached 5 mm lens.
– Camera body with permanently attached 3.2 mm lens.
– Camera body with C/CS lens mount and motorized focus
adjustment.
Three telephoto lenses (75 mm, 50 mm and 35 mm), specifically
matched to the camera body, are optionally available.

Application variants
The camera has a choice of application variants that set up the
camera for optimum performance in a specific environment.
Select the application variant best suited to your installation.
The application variant must be selected before any other
changes are made, as the camera reboots automatically and
resets the factory defaults when the application variant is
changed.
The DINION IP ultra 8000 MP has three application variants:
– 4K UHD
– 12MP (4:3)
– 1080p

The camera recording and storage functions include local alarm
recording and recording to iSCSI-based systems. The camera
can also use the Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) to
control recording and storage. Integration with the many Bosch
recording solutions is seamless.
