Important safety instructions
Read, follow, and retain all of the following safety instructions.
Heed all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions
before operating the unit.
1. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning.
Follow any instructions provided with the unit. Generally,
using a dry cloth for cleaning is sufficient, but a moist flufffree cloth or leather shammy may also be used. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
2. Heat Sources - Do not install the unit near any heat sources
such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other equipment
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
3. Water - Do not use this unit near water, for example near a
bathtub, washbowl, sink, laundry basket, in a damp or wet
basement, near a swimming pool, in an unprotected outdoor installation, or in any area classified as a wet location.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose
this unit to rain or moisture.
4. Object and liquid entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this unit through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
unit. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases
or cups, on the unit.
5. Controls adjustment - Adjust only those controls specified
in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may cause damage to the unit. Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other
than those specified, may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
6. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords.
This can cause fire or electrical shock.
7. Power cord and plug protection - Protect the plug and
power cord from foot traffic, being pinched by items
placed upon or against them at electrical outlets, and its
exit from the unit. For units intended to operate with

1.4 Overview of functions
The integrated camera unit incorporates a network video
server. Its primary function is to encode video and control data
for transmission over an IP network. With its MPEG-4 encoding
it is bandwidth efficient for both network and recording. The
use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily.
Bosch Security Systems Operating Instructions V 1.0 | 2006.12
18 en | Introduction FlexiDome IP
Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously
received on several receivers.
1.4.1 Wide dynamic range
The digital signal is automatically processed to optimally capture the detail in both the high and low light areas of the scene
simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the picture.
1.4.2 Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera 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.
1.4.3 Receiver
MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoders (for example VIP XD)
can be used as a receiver. Computers with decoding software
such as VIDOS or computers with the Microsoft Internet
Explorer web browser installed can also be used as receivers.
1.4.4 Video encoding
The camera uses the MPEG-4 compression standard. 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.
1.4.5 Tri Streaming
Tri Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded
simultaneously according to three different, individually customized profiles. This creates two MPEG4 streams per camera
that can serve different purposes, for example, one for local
recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN, and
an additional JPEG stream for use with a PDA.
1.4.6 Recording
The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the
network to store long-term recordings.
V 1.0 | 2006.12 Operating Instructions Bosch Security Systems
FlexiDome IP Introduction | en 19
1.4.7 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 protocols are
implemented on the network.
1.4.8 Encryption
The data transmissions and the authentication channel can be
encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. Web browser connections can be protected using HTTPS.
1.4.9 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.
1.4.10 Tampering recognition and motion detectors
The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for
alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. An
algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also
part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to
include special video analysis algorithms.
1.4.11 Snapshots
Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG
images, stored on the hard drive or displayed in a separate
browser window.
1.4.12 Backup
The browser application Livepage has an icon for saving the
video images provided by the unit as a file on your computer's
hard drive. Clicking this icon stores the video sequences and
they can be replayed with the Player from
Bosch Security Systems included with the package.

1.4.13 Intelligent Video Motion Detection
The intelligent video motion detection (iVMD) system of the

Fig. 4.1 Positioning
The physical default position of the camera is that the top of
the image corresponds to the indication TOP.
The camera module position can be adjusted along three axes.
When adjusting the camera position ensure that the picture display on the monitor is level. Set the camera to the desired position by performing the following steps:
– For horizontal adjustment (pan), rotate the camera module
in the base. Do not rotate more than 360°.
– For vertical adjustment (tilt), loosen thumbscrews, posi-
tion camera, then gently tighten thumbscrews to secure
camera.
Bosch Security Systems Operating Instructions V 1.0 | 2006.12
26 en | Camera set-up FlexiDome IP
– To obtain a horizontal horizon (for tilted ceilings or side-
wall mounting), rotate the base of the lens as necessary to
align the picture shown on the monitor. Do not rotate more
than 340°.
CAUTION! The CCD image sensors are highly sensitive and
require special care for proper performance and extended
!
lifetime. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or bright
spotlights in operating and non-operating conditions. Avoid
bright lights in the field of view of the camera.
4.2 Focal length and focus
Before adjusting, place the adjustment cap on the lens to
