System overview
Each EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX camera model is designed
using the latest technology in intelligent imaging and
video streaming. Each model has either a 1080p25/30
HD or a 720p50/60 HD camera module with a 30x
optical zoom, a 12x digital zoom, and an autofocus
mechanism that allows remote lens adjustments so
that there is no need to open the housing. Both
modules offer unmatched image quality at very low
network usage.
High dynamic range models
Dynamic models have a full 1080p25/30 HD imaging
platform with multiple exposures capable of delivering
high dynamic range (HDR) video in scenes with
simultaneous bright and dark areas. When operated in
HDR mode, the camera makes multiple, simultaneous
exposures of the same scene to capture details in both
bright and dark parts of the scene.

High sensitivity starlight models
Starlight models have a 720p50/60 HD imaging
platform with starlight technology. The camera
produces detailed video images in scenes with limited
ambient lighting, without any motion blur associated
with cameras that use slow shutters. The camera has
been tuned to deliver high-quality HD video in both day
and night operation.
Unrivaled image quality in complete darkness
Installed in conjunction with an EX65 Explosion
Protected Illuminator, the camera provides unrivaled
image quality in complete darkness. With 3D diffuser
technology that guarantees a crisp, clear, evenlyilluminated image, the infrared illuminator eliminates
the need for any conventional high voltage lighting to
be installed, which cuts costs significantly. For more
information, refer to the EX65 Explosion Protected
Illuminator datasheet.
Extreme environment ready
The camera is available in either an electropolished
316L stainless steel housing (which offers excellent
corrosion protection) or an anodized aluminum
housing (for less corrosive environments). The camera
holds NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings for wet locations. For
operation in areas prone to vibration, the camera has
been tested to IEC standards for vibration and shock.
Global explosion protection certification
The camera holds all major international certifications
for installation of explosion-protected products. As a
UL-listed product, the camera is certified for the
division and zone system per the NEC standards. For
Europe, it holds the ATEX certification. The camera has
been tested against and conforms to the international
IECEx scheme. For Brazil, the camera holds the
INMETRO certification.
Ease of installation and servicing
A single pre-assembled unit with an integrated
junction box, the camera is designed to be easy to
install. Four 3/4‑in. conduit openings provide access to
the convenient terminal block for all power, alarm, and
Ethernet cable connections. (An M20 adapter is also
included.) The optional fiber optic module, accessible
through the junction box, provides versatility for
longer cable runs or where electromagnetic
interference is a concern.
Various mounting options with the mount adapter
The EXS-ADPT is a stainless steel mount adapter that
allows installers to mount an EXTEGRA/EX65 device
onto one of a variety of mounting brackets originally
designed for the MIC Series of cameras. Installers
secure the mounting cradle of the device to the mount
adapter, and then secure the adapter to a MIC wall
mount bracket (MIC-WMB). The MIC-WMB can be
mounted to any of the following MIC Series mounting
brackets:
• Spreader plate (MIC-SPR), for installation on a wall
• Corner mount bracket (MIC-CMB), for installation in a
corner
• Pole mount bracket (MIC-PMB), for installation on the
side of a CCTV pole
Refer to the datasheet “MIC Mounting Brackets and
Other Accessories” for details about these mounts.

Functions
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 50%
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.
Content-Based Imaging Technology
Content-Based Imaging Technology (C-BIT) 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.
Advanced streaming
The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities so
that you can configure the camera to take advantage of
the latest network technology.
3 | EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX
The camera is designed on the most efficient and
powerful H.264 encoding platform capable of
delivering high-quality HD video with very low network
load. The new intelligent encoding capabilities drops
the bandwidth consumption to extremely low levels if
the camera detects no motion in the scene.
The camera is capable of quad streaming which allows
the camera to be configured to deliver independent,
configurable streams for live viewing, recording, or
remote monitoring on constrained bandwidths.
Intelligence
With built-in Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), the
camera reinforces the concept of Intelligence at the
Edge. IVA is Bosch’s state-of-the-art intelligent video
content analysis technology. With IVA, the camera
reliably detects and analyzes moving objects while
suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources
in the image. IVA also allows the camera to detect
multiple object behaviors including idle and removed
objects, loitering, multiple line crossing, and
trajectories. IVA supports BEV (Bird’s-Eye-View)
People Counter and Assisted Self-Calibration.
Configurable detection filters improve reliability and
reduce operator work load.
Advanced networking capabilities
The camera offers advanced capabilities so you can
configure the camera to take advantage of the latest
networking technology.
The camera offers Quality of Service (QoS)
configuration options to ensure fast network response
to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is
the set of techniques to manage network resources.
QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter),
bandwidth, and packet loss parameters to guarantee
the ability of a network to deliver predictable results.
QoS identifies the type of data in a data packet and
divides the packets into traffic classes that can be
prioritized for forwarding.
The camera also supports the IPv6 internet-layer
protocol for packet-switched internetworking across
multiple IP networks. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses
(IPv4 uses 32-bit addressing), which allows for many
more devices and users on the internet as well as
extra flexibility in allocating addresses and efficiency
for routing traffic.
Five pre-programmed but configurable user modes,
optimized with the best settings for a variety of typical
applications, make on-site programming easy and userfriendly. Users select from the menu the mode that
best defines the environment in which the camera is
installed:
Users have the ability to customize these modes, if
necessary, for the specific requirements of the site.
• General – Default mode. Suitable for most
applications.
• Low light – Optimized performance for scenes with
low light level.
• Motion – Optimized to minimize motion artifacts,
such as when monitoring traffic or fast-moving
objects.
• Vibrant – Provides enhanced contrast, color
reproduction, and sharpness.
• Illuminator – Optimized performance when using the
MIC illuminator accessory.
The camera maximizes your security investment by
integrating with Bosch video products including the
Bosch Video Client, Bosch Video Management System,
and the Bosch Recording Station, as well as the full
range of Bosch video over IP products.
ONVIF conformant
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. The ONVIF Profile S
specification allows easy integration with the
conformant devices and VMS. ONVIF conformant
devices are able to exchange live video, audio,
metadata, and control information, and ensure that
they are automatically discovered and connected to
network applications such as video management
systems.
