u MicroSD card slot for edge recording

The 720p and VGA indoor microbox cameras from
Bosch are ready-to-use, complete network video
surveillance systems inside a compact and stylish
housing. These cameras bring Bosch’s high­performance technology into the realm of homes,
small office and retail businesses by offering a cost­effective solution for a broad range of applications.

System overview

iDNR reduces bandwidth and storage requirements

The camera uses intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
(iDNR) 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 30%
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 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.

u Motion and audio detection

u FTP, Dropbox and e-mail applications

The average typical optimized bandwidth (for firmware

5.8) in kbits/s for various image rates is shown in the
table:

IPS 720p VGA

30 1200 600

15 955 478

5 568 284

2 245 122

Compact and stylish design

Ideal for indoor use, the compact aesthetic design is
suitable for installations where housing size and
appearance are important. The camera is supplied
with a versatile mounting bracket, allowing it to be
easily positioned for best coverage.

720p or VGA resolutions with multiple streams

The camera is available in 720p or VGA resolutions at
30 images per second (ips). The innovative multi­streaming 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.

Edge recording

The internal 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.

Two-way audio

The 720p version has a built-in microphone and
loudspeaker that allows remote users to listen in on an
area and communicate messages to visitors or
intruders via the loudspeaker. 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.

Cloud-based facilities

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

The power supply adapters delivered with the cameras
provide the 5 VDC power supply required. The 720p
version can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection.
With this configuration, only a single cable connection
is required to view, power, and control the camera. To
increase system reliability, the 720p version camera
can be simultaneously connected to both PoE and 5
VDC 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.

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 video
features: using a web browser, with the supplied
Bosch Video Client, or with the video security mobile
App.

The Bosch Video Client PC surveillance software offers
a user-friendly interface to support easy installation
and configuration, and is supplied completely free-of­charge. It provides easy live viewing of multiple
cameras, playback, forensic search and export.

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

Bosch IP standard- and high-definition cameras,
encoders and analytics work seamlessly with a wide
range of security software and recording solutions
from Bosch and other industry providers. Through
ONVIF conformance, the open availability of Bosch
video software development kits and a team dedicated
to special integration and support projects, it is easy
to manage Bosch video products within your system
design (for details on the Bosch Integration Partner
Program, visit ipp.boschsecurity.com).
