u 1/3-inch Day/Night HD CCD with progressive scan

u 15-bit image processing technology

FlexiDomeHD Day/Night IP cameras are progressive
scan HD cameras in a compact, high-impact rated,
vandal-resistant housing.
They are equipped with a 15-bit DSP and an XF
dynamic engine for sharper images with outstanding
color reproduction. Features such as multicasting,
internet streaming and iSCSI recording are fully
supported. FlexiDomeHD cameras have built-in video
motion analysis and additional processing power for
video content analysis systems.
Supported by the Bosch-designed Dinion digital
imaging technology, they provide a proven,
dependable solution for any security and surveillance
requirements, day and night.

Functions

720p HD Cameras

The FlexidomeHD is designed using the latest HD CCD
sensor which can deliver high resolution 720p
streaming video in HD format (16:9). The camera now
brings the unmatched Dinion Image performance to
HD-standard video.

u Intelligence at the edge

Superior image quality

With a 1/3-inch HD CCD sensor and Bosch’s advanced
digital signal processing, the FlexiDomeHD provides
outstanding image quality for a wide range of security
applications.

Digital Image Processing

The highly accurate digital signal processing optimally
processes the image to bring out the details in the
scene making it suitable for applications requiring
identification of facial characteristics or alphanumeric
characters.

XF-Dynamic and SmartBLC

The XF-Dynamic technology uses pixel-by-pixel analysis
to provide the user with the most detailed information.
Turn on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the
image without the need for complicated set-up or
without compromising dynamic range. Features such
as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the
details in a scene.

Programmable Modes

Six independent, pre-programmed configuration
modes, which have been optimized for typical
applications, makes camera programming on-site easy

and user-friendly. The installer just needs to select a
mode from the menu that best defines the
environment in which the camera is being installed.
However, the operator still has the ability to customize
these modes, if necessary, for the specific
requirements of the site.

Day/Night switching

In night mode, the camera enhances low-light viewing
by switching the IR (infrared) filter out of the optical
path and providing a monochrome image. The camera
can switch from color to monochrome mode
automatically by sensing the illumination level, via the
alarm input, or remotely via a web browser. In scenes
with predominantly IR light, use the alarm input for
reliable Day/Night filter switching.

Privacy masking

Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a
scene to be blocked. A mask for any part of the scene
can be pre-programmed.

Default Shutter

The default shutter allows the camera to use a higher
shutter speed when sufficient light is available (for
applications such as traffic management). When light
levels fall and other adjustments have been exhausted,
the shutter speed reverts to a standard setting to
maintain sensitivity.

SensUp Dynamic

By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on
the CCD, the effective sensitivity is dramatically
enhanced. This is especially useful when relying only
on moonlight for illumination.

Efficient bandwidth and storage management

The cameras use H.264 (Main Profile) compression,
bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to
manage bandwidth and storage requirements
efficiently, while delivering high image quality and
resolution.
Bosch's innovative Quad-streaming feature enables the
FlexiDomeHD to deliver three H.264 streams (a 720p
HD stream, a downscaled resolution stream, and a HD
I‑frame only stream) together with an M‑JPEG stream.
These four streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient
viewing and recording options as well as integration
with third-party video management systems.
FlexiDomeHD cameras offer unparalleled recording
options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI
targets directly without needing any recording
software. The recording management capabilities of
the system can be further enhanced by using the
Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM).
FlexidomeHD supports local storage on micro SD card.
This can be used for local alarm recording or for
Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) to improve
the overall reliability of video recording.

Standard intelligence

With built-in video content analysis, the camera
reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent. The
MOTION+ video motion analysis system, which is built
into all camera versions, is the perfect solution for
applications where basic video content analysis
features are required. This motion analysis algorithm is
based on pixel change and includes object size
filtering capabilities and sophisticated tamper­detection capabilities.

Hardware enhanced version

The hardware-enhanced version of the camera gives
you the opportunity to upgrade the video content
analysis features of the camera with the more
advanced Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) option. This
option contains such features as idle object, line
crossing, flow detection, crowd detection etc. The
camera can be ordered with IVA pre-installed from the
factory or IVA can be activated on hardware enhanced
versions by installing a license on-site.

ONVIF conformance

The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. ONVIF conformant devices
are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and
control information. They are automatically discovered
and connected to network applications such as video
management systems.

Tough design

The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate dome, and
hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of
55 kg (120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the
full-featured camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal
for outdoor use, the cameras are protected against
water and dust to IP 66 (NEMA 4X) standards. The
camera enclosure provides the extra protection
necessary for applications such as schools, banks,
prisons, retail outlets and industrial buildings.
Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes
completely assembled and ready to use. The camera
uses Bosch designed lens and optics to deliver true
HD resolution with different light levels.
Using the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism,
installers can select the exact field of view. Mounting
options are numerous, including surface, wall, corner,
and suspended ceiling mounting. The compact, sleek
design and virtually flush-mount appearance
complements any decor.

Unsurpassed flexibility

There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on
a PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System (VMS), or with the Bosch Video
Client. The Bosch Video Client is provided free of
charge with each camera. This easy-to-use software
can easily configure and operate up to 16 cameras. A
license upgrade adds support for up to 64 cameras.

Cost effective, simple installation

Three power options, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), 24
VAC and 12 VDC are available. Using PoE makes
installation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras
do not require a local power source. 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.
For trouble-free network cabling, the cameras support
Auto-MDIX which allows the installer to use straight or
cross-over cables.

Easy Upgrade

Remotely upgrade the camera whenever new firmware
becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products,
thus protecting investment with little effort.

Access Security

Various security levels are available for accessing the
network, the camera, and the data channels. As well
as password protection with three levels, 802.1x
authentication using a RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial In User Service) server is supported. To secure
Web browser access, use HTTPS with a SSL certificate
stored in the camera. For total data protection, the
video and audio communication channels can be
independently AES encrypted with 128-bit keys by
installing the optional encryption site license.
