u 5MP / 15 fps sensor for fine details with smooth
motion
u Discreet and aesthetic, compact design
The FLEXIDOME IP panoramic 5000 MP is a discreet,
aesthetic, panoramic camera in a compact design. The
5MP sensor operating at 15 fps provides full
panoramic surveillance with complete area coverage
and fine details. The camera offers full situational
awareness and simultaneous E-PTZ views in high
resolution.
When mounted centrally on a ceiling, the 360° camera
lens gives complete wall‑to‑wall coverage.
Dewarping
The lens captures a circular image. Our client-side
dewarping software transforms this circular image into
several different distortion-free rectangular views.
Versions
Two versions are available, an indoor version and an
IK10, IP66-rated outdoor version.
System overview
Advantages of panoramic surveillance
Panoramic surveillance offers full 360° coverage of the
designated area. Because our panoramic cameras
cover the full area, they provide complete situational
awareness and are ideally suited to following
movement in one continuous sweep.
u Simultaneous panoramic overview and detailed
object monitoring
u IK10 rated for better protection
u Intelligent noise reduction reduces bandwidth and
storage requirements by up to 50%
Functions
5MP sensor at 15 fps
The high 5MP sensor resolution together with a frame
rate of 15 fps makes this camera an ideal solution for
many applications in the field of panoramic image
capture. The high resolution provides a clear overview
and detailed images.
Client-side dewarping
With client-side dewarping, the camera streams a
single circular non-dewarped image at 15 fps.
Dewarping is performed with our dewarping software
that is installed on the PC where multiple view modes
are available or you can choose to use a third-party
client-side dewarping software solution.

DORI coverage
DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) is a
standard system (EN-50132-7) for defining the ability
of a camera to distinguish persons or objects within a
covered area. The maximum distance at which a
camera/lens combination can meet these criteria is
shown below:
When mounted at a height of 3 m (10 ft) the camera
has the following coverage radius for the four levels:
DORI DORI definition Coverage radius
Detect 25 px/m (8 px/ft) 19 m (62 ft)
Observe 63 px/m (19 px/ft) 7 m (23 ft)
Recognize 125 px/m (38 px/ft) 4 m (13 ft)
Identify 250 px/m (76 px/ft) 1 m (3 ft)
E-PTZ and regions of interest
The remote E-PTZ (Electronic Pan, Tilt and Zoom)
controls allow you to select specific areas of the full
image circle. These Regions of Interest (ROI) can be
easily defined, allowing the most interesting part of a
scene to be monitored separately. The high resolution
ensures that details are not lost even when using the
electronic zoom.
The E-PTZ feature of a panoramic camera has some
advantages over normal PTZ cameras. There is no
camera movement so the camera does not draw
attention to itself or appear intrusive. Situational
awareness is still retained even when zooming in on a
particular object of interest. The smooth E- PTZ
function helps navigation, and presets are available as
they are with regular PTZ cameras.
Full image recording
The camera provides the full resolution circular image
for recording even if you are viewing only a portion of
the scene. This means that you can always perform
retrospective dewarping and analyses on the complete
area covered and then zoom in on the region or object
of interest.
Content Based Imaging Technology
Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) is used to
radically improve image quality in all lighting
conditions and to identify areas for enhanced
processing. The camera examines the scene using
intelligent video analytics and provides feedback to retune the image processing. This provides better detail
in the areas that matter and better all-round
performance.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
Quiet scenes with little or no movement require a
lower bitrate. By intelligently distinguishing between
noise and relevant information, Intelligent Dynamic
Noise Reduction reduces bitrate by up to 50%.
Because noise is reduced at the source during image
capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise on
video quality.

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 bandwidth in kbits/s for
various image rates is shown in the table:
fps 5MP (full image circle)
15 1250
7.5 950
3.75 550
MOTION+
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. MOTION+ shows motion
metadata in an overlay display. By using MOTION+
data as input, smarter imaging algorithms bring
improved image quality and more efficient bitrates. It
also enables extended tamper detection capabilities.
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, plus easy integration with third-party video
management systems.
Built-in microphone and audio alarm
The indoor version of the camera has a built-in
microphone to allow operators to listen in on the
monitored area. 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.
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.
The camera is pre-assembled with an indoor surface
mount bracket which allows you to mount the camera
directly onto a ceiling, wall or single-gang box. The
rear connectors are orientated for easy accessibility. A
complete set of mounting accessories, such as a wall
or pipe mount, are available.
No focus or pan/tilt adjustments are required as the
camera, with its 360° lens, provides complete
coverage of a small room. The high quality lens is
factory focused and so installation is simplified and
sharpness is assured.
Suitable for diverse environments
The indoor version is designed to resemble a smokedetector. This compact design offers discreet and
unobtrusive placement in any indoor environment.
The outdoor version with cast-aluminum housing and
transparent bubble is designed to withstand the
equivalent of 20 joule of impact force (IK10), which is
equivalent to a 5 kg (12 lbs) steel ball dropped from
40cm.
Together with the outdoor surface mount box provided
in the package, the outdoor version is protected
against water and dust ingress according to IP66. This
makes it ideal for outdoor use in demanding
environments.
Simple set-up
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that
allows fast and easy configuration. Configurable scene
modes are provided with the best settings for a variety
of applications.
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
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to
2 TB of local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in
RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network,
and extends the effective life of the memory card.
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.
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.
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.
