The Bosch NTC-255-PI infrared IP bullet camera is a ready­to-use, robust network camera. This camera brings
Bosch’s high-performance technology into the realm of
small office and retail businesses by offering a cost­effective solution for a broad range of applications.

The robust aluminum camera body is designed for
outdoor surveillance or indoor areas where water ingress
might occur. The built-in active infrared illuminator
ensures effective vision under extreme low-light
conditions.

The camera easily integrates with the Bosch
Divar 700 Series recorder and can also be used with an
iSCSI server connected via the network to store long-term
recordings. The H.264 compression technology gives clear
images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to
30%.

Functions

Best-in-class image performance

The camera delivers the clearest images and most
accurate colors within its class. Progressive scan ensures
moving objects are always sharp.

High performance infrared illuminator

The camera provides effective night vision in a zero lux
environment by using a built-in active infrared illuminator.
The illuminator activates automatically when the
environment is dark, and no additional settings are
required.

Tri-streaming video

Tri-streaming allows a data stream to be encoded
simultaneously according to different customized settings.
Two types of streams can serve different purposes. For
example, use H.264 stream for local recording and
viewing, and the M-JPEG stream to provide compatibility
with legacy DVRs.

Weatherproof camera housing

The robust IP66-rated aluminum housing provides high
installation flexibility. Whether indoor or outdoor
mounted, the camera resists both water and dust ingress
in all environment conditions.

16-channel PC surveillance software

The bundled PC surveillance software offers a user­friendly interface to support easy installation and
configuration. A wizard allows the configuration of
multiple cameras simultaneously using an auto detection
device. Multiple cameras can be monitored in one screen
and video clips can be archived, searched, and exported
in a single application.

ONVIF 1.0 compliant

The latest Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF)
standard ensures compatibility with other surveillance
products. This will contribute to a reduction in future
upgrade or migration costs.

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.

Power-over-Ethernet

Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over­Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable
connection. With this configuration, only a single cable
connection is required to view, power, and control the
camera.
