illuminator that provides high performance in extreme
low-light environments.
System overview
Vandal resistant outdoor dome with varifocal lens
Ideal for outdoor use, the IK10-rated design is suitable
for installations where a vandal resistance is
important. The camera is protected against water and
dust to IP66 standards. The varifocal lens allows you
to choose the coverage area to best suit your
application. Mounting options are numerous, including
surface, wall, and suspended-ceiling mounting.
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 5MP resolution with image quality up to 30 fps for
highly detailed images
u Built-in Essential Video Analytics to trigger relevant
alerts and quickly retrieve data
u High Dynamic Range to see every detail in both
bright and dark areas of the scene
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.
High Dynamic Range
The camera has High Dynamic Range. This is based on
a multiple-exposure process that captures more
details in the highlights and in the shadows even in the
same scene. The result is that you can easily
distinguish objects and features, for example, faces
with bright backlight.
The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured
using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF)
analysis according to IEC 62676 Part 5. This method is
used to provide a standard result which can be used
to compare different cameras.
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 5MP 4MP 3MP 1080p
30 1597 1210 864 600
12 1205 913 652 438
5 799 605 432 284
2 344 261 186 122
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.
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
+12 VDC/24 VAC power supplies. To increase system
reliability, the camera can be simultaneously
connected to both PoE and +12 VDC/24 VAC supplies.
Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can
be used, which will allow continuous operation, even
during a power failure.

Automatic image rotation
The integrated gyro/accelerometer sensor
automatically corrects the image orientation in steps
of 90° if the camera is mounted at right angles or
upside down. The sensor image can also be rotated
manually through steps of 90°.
To efficiently capture details in long hallways without
loss of resolution, mount the camera at right angles.
The image is displayed upright at full resolution on
your monitor.
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
output via an SMB connector. The hybrid functionality
offers an easy migration path from legacy CCTV to a
modern IP-based system.
Data security
Special measures have been put in place to ensure the
highest level of security for device access and data
transport. The three-level password protection with
security recommendations allows users to customize
device access. Web browser access can be protected
using HTTPS and firmware updates can also be
protected with authenticated secure uploads.
The on-board Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support, guarantee
superior protection from malicious attacks. The 802.1x
network authentication with EAP/TLS, supports
TLS 1.2 with updated cipher suites including AES 256
encryption.
The advanced certificate handling offers:
• Self-signed unique certificates automatically created
when required
• Client and server certificates for authentication
• Client certificates for proof of authenticity
• Certificates with encrypted private keys
