u Easy to install with auto zoom/focus lens, wizard
and pre-configured modes
u 5MP for highly detailed images
The 5MP indoor dome cameras from Bosch are
professional surveillance cameras that provide high
quality MP images for demanding security and
surveillance network requirements. These domes are
true day/night cameras offering excellent performance
day or night.
There is a version with a built-in active infrared
illuminator that provides high performance in extreme
low-light environments.
System overview
Easy to install stylish indoor dome
Ideal for indoor use, the stylish design is suitable for
installations where appearance and flexible coverage
are important. The varifocal lens allows you to choose
the coverage area to best suit your application. Using
the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers
can select the exact field of view. Mounting options
are numerous, including surface, wall, and suspendedceiling 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 Fully configurable quad streaming
u IR version with 15 m (50 ft) viewing distance
u Regions of interest and E-PTZ
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
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 bitrate in kbits/s for
various frame rates is shown in the table:
fps 5MP 480p
12 1753 438
5 1136 284
2 489 122
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.
Depending on the resolution and frame rate selected
for the first stream, the second stream provides a copy
of the first stream or a lower resolution 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.
Built-in microphone, two-way audio and audio alarm
The camera has a built-in microphone to allow
operators to listen in on the monitored area. 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.
If required by local laws, the microphone can be
permanently blocked via a secure license key.
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 (VRM) 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 power supplies.
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.
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 or Video Security 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.
