The 1080p HD indoor camera is a ready-to-use, complete network video surveillance system inside a compact and stylish housing. This camera brings Bosch's high-performance technology into the realm of homes, small office and retail businesses by offering a cost-effective solution for a broad range of applications.
System overview
The elegant, compact box design is ideal for homes, offices, businesses or shops where camera size and appearance is important. The camera has a 1/2.7-inch CMOS HD sensor and is a true day/night camera offering excellent performance day or night.
Functions
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 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.
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 as well as integration with third-party video management systems.
An upright mode can be selected for the second stream. In this mode an image of 400 x 720 (9:16 aspect ratio) is cropped from the full sensor image. When the scene to be monitored is suitable to this mode, the bandwidth and storage requirements are reduced.
Simultaneous analog and IP video outputs
A surge-protected analog video output ensures that high resolution IP video streaming and an analog video output are available simultaneously. This means, for example, that a confrontation monitor can easily be connected directly to the camera while still maintaining full IP functionality.
Regions of interest and E-PTZ
Regions of Interest (ROI) can be user defined. The remote E-PTZ (Electronic Pan, Tilt and Zoom) controls allow you to select specific areas of the parent image. These regions produce separate streams for remote viewing and recording. These streams, together with the main stream, allow the operator to separately monitor the most interesting part of a scene while still retaining situational awareness.
Built-in microphone, two-way audio and audio alarm
The camera has a built-in microphone to allow operators to listen in on the monitored area. Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate with visitors or intruders via an external audio line input and output. Audio detection can be used to generate an alarm if needed.
Tamper and motion detection
A wide range of configuration options is available for alarms signaling camera tampering. A built-in algorithm for detecting movement in the video can also be used for alarm signaling.
Edge recording
The SD card slot supports up to 2 TB of storage capacity. An SD card can be used for local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network, or - if SD card recording is used - extends the effective life of the storage medium.
