3 System Information

3.1 Network video server

The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary
function is to encode video and control data for transmission
over an IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited
for IP communication and for remote access to digital video
recorders and IP systems. The use of existing networks means
that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be
achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera
can be simultaneously received on several receivers.

3.1.1 Progressive scan

The camera captures and processes progressively scanned
images. When there is fast motion in a scene, progressively
scanned images are generally sharper than interlaced images.

3.1.2 True Day/Night function

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, manually via the alarm input, or remotely via a
web browser.

3.1.3 Multiple streams

Multiple streams enable the camera to deliver several H.264
streams together with an M-JPEG stream. These streams
facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording options as
well as integration with third-party video management systems.

3.1.4 ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)

The camera complies to the ONVIF standard which means that
it is easier to install and integrate into larger systems. The
ONVIF standard is a global standard for the interface of network
video products.

AM18-Q0637 | v1.1 | 2014.11

FLEXIDOME HD VR System Information | en 15

3.1.5 Audio

Two-way duplex audio is available in the unit for live voice
communications or audio recording.

3.1.6 Alarm I/O

The alarm input can be used to control the functionality of the
unit. An alarm output can control external devices.

3.1.7 Tamper detection and motion detection

The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for
alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. A
Motion+ algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is
included.

3.1.8 Video encoding

The camera uses the H.264 compression standards. Thanks to
efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high
image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions
within wide limits.

3.1.9 Multicast

In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables
simultaneous, real time transmission to multiple receivers. The
prerequisite for this is that the UDP and IGMP V2/V3 protocols
are implemented on the network.

3.1.10 Power-over-Ethernet

Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over­Ethernet compliant network cable connection. With this
configuration, only a single cable connection is required to
view, power, and control the camera.

3.1.11 Encryption

The unit offers a variety of options for protection against
unauthorized reading. Web browser connections can be
protected using HTTPS. Protect the control channels via the
SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user
data itself can be encrypted.

AM18-Q0637 | v1.1 | 2014.11

16 en | System Information FLEXIDOME HD VR

3.1.12 Recording

The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the
network to store long-term recordings, and with a local
microSD card for shorter storage times and temporary
recordings.

3.1.13 Configuration

The camera can be configured using a browser on the local
network (Intranet) or from the Internet. Similarly, firmware
updates and rapid loading of device configurations are also
possible. Configuration settings can be stored as files on a
computer and copied from one camera to another.

FLEXIDOME HD VR System Information | en 17

3.2 Operation with external systems

The camera can be used with a variety of Bosch systems:
– Bosch Video Management System
– Bosch Video Client
– Bosch Recording Station
When connected to any of these systems, many of the camera
configuration parameters are controlled by the system and not
by the settings made via a web browser.

Bosch Video Management System

The Bosch Video Management System is a unique enterprise IP
video surveillance solution that provides seamless management
of digital video, audio, and data across any IP network. It is
designed to work with Bosch CCTV products as part of a total
video surveillance management system.

Bosch Video Client

The camera video server and the Bosch Video Client software
combine to provide a high-performance system solution. The
Bosch Video Client is a Windows application for viewing,
operating, controlling, and administering CCTV installations
(such as surveillance systems) at remote locations.

Bosch Recording Station

The camera is also designed for use with the Bosch Recording
Station. The Bosch Recording Station can record up to 64 video
and audio streams. The Bosch Recording Station supports
various functions of the camera, such as controlling relays,
remote control of peripheral devices, and remote configuration.
It can use alarm inputs to trigger actions and, when motion
detection Motion+ is active, can record the relevant cells,
making intelligent motion detection possible.

FLEXIDOME HD VR Camera configuration | en 33

6 Camera configuration

The camera normally provides an optimal picture without the
need for further adjustments. Configuration of the camera is
carried out via the network using a web browser.

6.1 User modes

The camera has six user modes. These modes contain
optimized settings for a variety of applications. Select the mode
most suited to the camera’s function via the web browser
interface.

6.2 Day/Night switching

The camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The
mechanical IR filter is taken out of the optical path in low-light
applications.
The IR filter is controlled either:
– via an alarm input, or
– automatically, based on the observed light levels.

If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically
switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The
switching level is programmable.

Note:

When the auto mode is selected and the switching level is set
to -15, certain borderline scene lighting conditions can cause
the camera to switch back and forth between day and night
modes. Set a different switching level to avoid this.

7 Browser connection

A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer can be used to
receive live images from the camera, control the camera, and
replay stored sequences. The camera is configured over the
network using the browser.
The configuration options using the menu system of the camera
itself are limited to setting up the lens and network.

Note:

The camera can also be configured using the supplied Bosch
Video Client or the Bosch Video Management System.

7.1 Protected network

If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x
authentication), the camera must be configured first. To
configure the camera for a Radius network, connect it directly
to a PC via a crossed network cable and configure the two
parameters, Identity and Password. Only after these have been
configured can communication with the camera via the network
occur.

9 Maintenance

9.1 Testing the network connection

The ping command can be used to check the connection
between two IP addresses. This allows testing whether a device
is active in the network.

1. Open the DOS command prompt.

2. Type ping followed by the IP address of the device.
If the device is found, the response appears as " Reply from ... ",
followed by the number of bytes sent and the transmission time
in milliseconds. Otherwise, the device cannot be accessed via
the network. This might be because:
– The device is not properly connected to the network.

Check the cable connections in this case.

– The device is not correctly integrated into the network.

Check the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.

9.2 Cleaning the bubble

The exterior of the bubble is hard coated for extra protection. If
cleaning becomes necessary, only use cleaning solutions and
cloths suitable for cleaning safety glass lenses. Dry the bubble
thoroughly with a dry nonabrasive cloth to prevent water spots.
Never scrub the bubble with any abrasive material or cleaners.

–Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the

bubble.

–Do not scrape the bubble with razor blades or other sharp

instruments.

–Do not use Benzene, Gasoline, Acetone, or Carbon

Tetrachloride on the bubble.

–Do not clean bubbles in the hot sun or on very hot days
