Cameras & Optics

The FLEXIDOME IP panoramic 7000 MP is a discreet, aesthetic, low-profile camera for indoor use. The 12MP sensor operating at 30 fps provides full panoramic surveillance with complete area coverage, fine details and high speeds. The camera offers full situational awareness and simultaneous E-PTZ views in high resolution.

Lens versions
The 360° version of the camera, when mounted centrally on a ceiling, gives complete wall-to-wall coverage. The 180° version has a higher effective resolution and is ideal for wall mounting or for ceiling mounting in corridors.

Dewarping
The lens captures a circular image. Our dewarping software transforms this circular image into several different distortion-free rectangular views. To facilitate system integration, you can choose edge dewarping inside the camera or client-side dewarping on an external platform. The freely available Video Security Client from Bosch provides advanced client-side dewarping features.

Advantages of panoramic surveillance
Panoramic surveillance offers full 180° or 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.

The FLEXIDOME starlight HD 720p60 camera provides clear images 24/7 - even at night or under low-light conditions.

High sensitivity in color (0.017 lx) and monochrome mode (0.0057 lx) enables this camera to work with a minimum of ambient light. This exceptional light sensitivity combined with Content-Based Imaging Technology (C-BIT) ensures crisp, clear, and detailed images in all lighting conditions. The 720p HD can also provide up to 60 images per second.

The FLEXIDOME multi 7000i camera is built for highquality performance, featuring four independent imagers with motorized zoom/focus lenses. It helps to simplify installation and lower costs while maintaining flexibility in coverage. With four scenes simultaneously in a single camera, it is perfect for wide area coverage, traffic intersections and building corners. When the lenses are tilted at the right angle, the camera can even cover an area up to full 360°. Additionally, the zoom capability allows the camera to obtain detailed coverage for more distant areas.

Functions

20-megapixel multi-directional overviews

Four independent 5-megapixel imagers with separate remote zoom and focus lenses capture very highquality images with a total resolution of 20 megapixels.

Each of the four imagers can be set-up flexibly with 3- axis movement along a circular track. This enables surround coverage, capturing detailed images from every angle for comprehensive video coverage with four separate views from a single IP address.

High Dynamic Range
The camera has High Dynamic Range. This is based on a multiple-exposure process that captures more details in the highlights and in the shadows even in the same scene. The result is that you can easily distinguish objects and features, for example, faces with bright backlight.

The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF) analysis according to IEC 62676 Part 5. This method is used to provide a standard result which can be used to compare different cameras.

H.265 high-efficiency video encoding

The camera is designed on the most efficient and powerful H.264 and H.265/HEVC encoding platform. The camera is capable of delivering high-quality and high-resolution video with very low network load. With a doubling of encoding efficiency, H.265 has become the new compression standard of choice for IP video surveillance systems.

Two-way audio and built-in microphone

Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate with visitors or intruders via an external audio line input and output. Alternatively, there is an integrated microphone to capture crisp and clear audio. By using the integrated or external microphone, audio detection can be used to generate alarms to alert the security operator quicker and act more proactively. If required by local laws, the microphone can be blocked via a secure license key.

Intelligent Video Analytics

The camera uses the latest generation of Bosch Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA). Specifically designed for the most demanding environments. It is extremely resistant to false triggers caused by challenging environments with snow, wind (moving trees), rain, hail, and water reflections. By using the zoom function of the lens, the camera can provide automatic person detection over distances up to 130 m / 430 ft.

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 in 1080p or 720p resolution versions and provides up to 60 images per second. There is a selection of high quality lenses separately available.

Functions

Exceptional low-light performance

The latest sensor technology combined with the sophisticated noise suppression results in an exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-light performance is so good that the camera continues to provide excellent color performance even with a minimum of ambient light.

Fast performance

The 60 images-per-second mode provides for optimum performance in fast action scenes and is particularly suitable for casino and banking applications.

The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF) analysis according to IEC 62676 Part 5. This method is used to provide standardized measurements, which can be used to compare different cameras.

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 re-tune the image processing. This provides better detail in the areas that matter and better all-round performance. With IVA, the Intelligent Auto Exposure technology, for example, allows you to view moving objects in bright and dark areas of a scene.

Intelligent Video Analytics

The built-in video analytics is both robust and intelligent. The Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept now delivers even more powerful features:

Simple calibration

False alarm reduction

Extended range identification

Crowd and queue management

Density and flow counting

The mission critical video analytics reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes objects, and alerts you when predefined alarms are triggered. A smart set of alarm rules, together with object filters and tracking modes, makes complex tasks easy.

The system is also extremely robust and is able to reduce false alarms, for example from foliage or shaking objects, even in harsh weather conditions.

Metadata is attached to your video to add sense and structure. This enables you to quickly retrieve the relevant images from hours of stored video. Metadata can also be used to deliver irrefutable forensic evidence or to optimize business processes based on people counting or crowd density information.

Calibration is quick and easy - just enter the height of the camera. The internal gyro/accelerometer sensor provides the rest of the information to precisely calibrate the video analytics.

Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction reduces bandwidth and storage requirements

The camera uses Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction 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 h
