u Certified all-weather active IR surveillance camera
specifically designed for perimeter surveillance and
other outdoor low-light applications
u Dinion 2X imaging with wide dynamic capability to
handle the most demanding lighting situations
The Dinion IP Infrared Imager is a rugged, active
infrared surveillance camera designed to master
perimeter surveillance and other outdoor low-light
applications. The IR Imager provides best-in-class
images day and night covering up to 160 meters (525
feet) with unrivaled illumination quality throughout the
field of view.
The Dinion IP Infrared Imager can tri-stream video
simultaneously — on two H.264 streams and one MJPEG stream. Features such as multicasting, internet
streaming, and iSCSI recording are fully supported.
The Dinion IP Infrared Imagers have built-in video
motion detection and video content analysis systems
as standard features.
From the most challenging daylight conditions to zero
lux night environments, the NEI-30 gives you the
details you need. Our Dinion 2X technology provides
optimal 20-bit imaging in natural and artificial light,
giving you a powerful wide dynamic range camera
solution capable of handling the most demanding
lighting situations, 24 hours a day.
Variable Field Illumination allows IR beam pattern
adjustments in the field, allowing for wide area
coverage and greatly reducing maintenance and setup

unmatched low-light and no-light performance
u Integrated junction box, remote control, and

simultaneously
time and effort. Variable Field Illumination also
provides even illumination not only across the field of
view but also from foreground to background. To
ensure this performance never fades over time, the IR
Imager features Constant Light technology, using
closed loop feedback to control infrared performance
throughout the life of the unit.
The IP67-rated junction box and the camera can be
hung and connected in seconds, reducing time and
energy on the ladder. The IP-based control further
reduces time needed for adjustments during and after
installation by allowing for adjustments to be made
remotely on the ground.
System overview
Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The Dinion IP Infrared Imager uses H.264
compression, bandwidth throttling, and multicasting
capabilities to manage bandwidth and storage
requirements efficiently, while delivering high-quality
images and resolution. The bandwidth of an H.264
stream using Main profile at 4CIF resolution is about
the same as one MPEG-4 stream at 2CIF resolution.
Bosch's innovative tri-streaming feature enables the
| NEI-30 Dinion IP Infrared Imager

imager to generate two independent H.264 streams
and one M-JPEG stream simultaneously. This allows
streaming of high-quality H.264 images for live viewing
and recording while streaming M-JPEG images to
another device at the same time. The M-JPEG video
stream also provides easy integration with third-party
JPEG or M-JPEG-compatible video management
systems.
The Dinion IP Infrared Imagers offer unparalleled
recording options. Attached to the network, they can
use iSCSI targets directly, as well as Network Video
Recorders (NVRs). The iSCSI storage target support
enables the cameras to function as a conventional
DVR, while streaming high-performance live video
across the network.
Standard intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, the imager
reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent. The
MOTION+ video motion analysis system that 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.
The NEI-30 also features the more advanced Intelligent
Video Analysis (IVA) standard on all models. The preinstalled IVA digital imaging technology algorithm uses
multi-level image analysis of pixels, texture, and object
direction.
ONVIF conformance
The Dinion IP Infrared Imager 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.
Power over Ethernet
Power may be supplied via a Power over Ethernet Plus
(PoE+, IEEE 802.3at, class 4) compliant network cable
connection. With this configuration, only a single cable
connection is required to power and to control the
camera while also viewing images from the camera.
(Note: PoE+ power limitations reduce the IR range and
low temperature range.)
Unsurpassed flexibility
There are many ways to access the imager’s video: on
a PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, or with VIDOS. The camera is
also ideal for use with a DHR/DNR 700 Series digital
video recorder. By routing a video stream to a Bosch
video decoder, you can also present the video with
ultimate clarity on an analog monitor.
