u Outdoor IP dome camera with varifocal lens
u 720p resolution for sharp images
u Fully configurable quad streaming
The 720P outdoor dome camera from Bosch is a
professional surveillance cameras that provides high
quality HD images for demanding security and
surveillance network requirements. This robust dome
is a true day/night camera offering excellent
performance day or night.
The camera is also available with a built-in active
infrared illuminator that provides high performance in
extreme low-light environments.
Functions
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction reduces
bandwidth and storage requirements
The camera uses Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and
reduces noise artifacts accordingly.
The low-noise image and the efficient H.264
compression technology provide clear images while
reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 50%
compared to other H.264 cameras. This results in
reduced-bandwidth streams that still retain a high
image quality and smooth motion. The camera
provides the most usable image possible by cleverly
optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio.

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 bandwidth in kbits/s for
various image rates is shown in the table:
fps 720p 480p
30 1200 600
15 955 478
12 877 438
5 568 284
2 245 122
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 (NEMA Type 4X) standards. The 3 to
10 mm 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.
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 as well as integration with third-party video
management systems.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Video security App
The Bosch video security mobile App has been
developed to enable Anywhere access to HD
surveillance images allowing you to view live images
from any location. The App is designed to give you
complete control of all your cameras, from panning
and tilting to zoom and focus functions. It’s like taking
your control room with you.
This App, together with the separately available Bosch
transcoder, will allow you to fully utilize our dynamic
transcoding features so you can play back images even
over low-bandwidth connections.
System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF Profile S
specification. This guarantees interoperability between
network video products regardless of manufacturer.
Third-party integrators can easily access the internal
feature set of the camera for integration into large
projects. Visit the Bosch Integration Partner Program
(IPP) website (ipp.boschsecurity.com) for more
information.
