The FLEXIDOME IP 8000i family consists of high performance dome cameras with superior
imaging qualities, IVA-optimized, mission critical surveillance in low light and high dynamic
range. Motorized PTZR setup simplifies commissioning.
FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i
This camera provides clear images 24/7 - even at night or under low-light conditions. The
exceptional starlight sensitivity enables this camera to work with a minimum of ambient light.
The extended dynamic mode provides detailed images in scenes with challenging lighting.
The camera is available as 2MP (Full HD) at 60fps or 6MP at 30fps.
FLEXIDOME IP ultra 8000i
This camera offers crisp, clear and extremely detailed images for the most demanding IP video
surveillance requirements. It captures 4K UHD at 30fps, so providing images of fast moving
objects in high resolutions. The content-rich image allows effective retrospective analysis at
the level of detail that makes the difference when collecting forensic evidence.
2.2Intended use
The camera is designed to be integrated in professional IP video surveillance solutions as a
surveillance camera. Installation, commissioning and operation of the camera shall be carried
out by trained professionals only.
The use of surveillance cameras is restricted by national laws and regulations. Use the camera
accordingly.
No other applications are permitted.
2.3Remote commissioning
Full Remote Commissioning
Installing a professional IP video surveillance camera has never been so easy. In fact, as an
installer, you’ll never want to go back to the old methods of installing cameras again. We’ve
simplified the installation and commissioning stages to such a degree that they can be done in
very little time.
With the FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i camera’s remote commissioning functionality there’s
no need to go up and down ladders. Using a PC or a mobile device with the Bosch Project
Assistant app, you can pan, tilt, roll and zoom (PTRZ) and point the camera to the required
field of view with a single click - without ever having to touch the camera or lens.
Wireless or remote configuration and commissioning can also be done at a later stage once all
cameras have been installed. Simply connect the Bosch Project Assistant app, available for
iOS, Windows or Android, wirelessly to the camera. Or connect to the camera remotely via the
network using the camera’s web interface or the Bosch Configuration Manager.
2.4Using the camera
Use a web browser to access the camera features and to view the camera streams live. Use
the same browser interface to access and change the camera configuration parameters and
recording/storage functions (including local alarm recording, and recording to iSCSI-based
systems).
Refer to the software manual for more information on the browser interface.
The web browser is the most direct way of using the camera, however, the Bosch download
store provides several other free applications (listed below) for viewing and controlling the
camera.
