The 5MP outdoor dome cameras from Bosch are professional surveillance cameras that provide high quality images for demanding security and surveillance network requirements. These robust domes are true day/night cameras offering excellent performance day or night.
There is a version with a built-in active infrared illuminator that provides high performance in extreme low-light environments.
System overview
Vandal resistant outdoor dome with varifocal lens
Ideal for outdoor use, the IK10-rated design is suitable for installations where a vandal resistance is important. The camera is protected against water and dust to IP66 standards. The varifocal lens allows you to choose the coverage area to best suit your application. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, and suspended-ceiling mounting.
The automatic zoom/focus lens wizard makes it easy for an installer to accurately zoom and focus the camera for both day and night operation. The wizard is activated from the PC or from the on-board camera push button making it easy to choose the workflow that suits best.
The AVF (Automatic Varifocal) feature means that the zoom can be changed without opening the camera. The automatic motorized zoom/focus adjustment with 1:1 pixel mapping ensures the camera is always accurately focused.
Functions
Essential Video Analytics
The built-in video analysis reinforces the Intelligenceat-the-Edge concept and now delivers even more powerful features. Essential Video Analytics is ideal for use in controlled environments with limited detection ranges.
The system reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes objects, and alerts you when predefined alarms are triggered. A smart set of alarm rules makes complex tasks easy and reduces false alarms to a minimum. 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.
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 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 Essential 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 Auto Exposure technology, for example, allows you to view moving objects in bright and dark areas of a scene.
- High Dynamic Range to see every detail in both bright and dark areas of the scene
- Built-in Essential Video Analytics to trigger relevant alerts and quickly retrieve data
- Fully configurable H.265 multi-streaming
- 5MP resolution with image quality up to 30 fps for highly detailed images
- Easy to install with auto zoom/focus lens, wizard and pre-configured modes
