without compromising dynamic range. Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the details in a scene, pixel by pixel.

Programmable Modes

Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes support typical applications, but are fully programmable for individual situations.

Day/Night switching

In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing by switching the IR (infrared) filter out of the optical path and providing a monochrome image. The camera can switch from color to monochrome mode automatically by sensing the illumination level, manually via the alarm input, or remotely via a web browser. An internal, through-the-lens IR detector enhances monochrome mode stability by preventing the camera from returning to color mode when IR- illumination is dominant.

Privacy masking

Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a scene to be blocked. A mask for any part of the scene can be pre-programmed.

Default Shutter

The default shutter speed captures fast moving objects when sufficient light is available. When light levels fall and other adjustments have been exhausted, the shutter speed reverts to a standard setting to maintain sensitivity.

SensUp Dynamic

By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on the CCD, the effective sensitivity is dramatically enhanced. This is especially useful when relying only on moonlight for illumination.

Efficient bandwidth and storage management

The cameras use H.264 (Main Profile) compression, bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to manage bandwidth and storage requirements efficiently, while delivering high image quality and resolution.

Bosch's innovative Quad-streaming feature enables the FlexiDome2X IP to deliver three H.264 streams (two 4CIF streams and an I‑frame only stream) together with an M‑JPEG stream. These four streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording options as well as integration with third-party video management systems.

FlexiDome2X IP cameras offer unparalleled recording options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI targets directly without any additional recording software. The recording capabilities of the system can be further enhanced by using the Bosch Video Recording Manager.

The camera also supports local recording on a microSD card. This can be used for local alarm recording or for Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) to improve the overall reliability of video recording.

Standard intelligence

With built-in video content analysis, the camera reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices become increasingly intelligent. The MOTION+ video motion analysis system, which is built into all camera versions, is the perfect solution for applications where basic video content analysis features are required. This motion analysis algorithm is based on pixel change and includes object size filtering capabilities and sophisticated tamper- detection capabilities.

Hardware enhanced

The advanced Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) option bases the IVA algorithm on digital imaging technology that uses multi-level image analysis of pixels, texture, and object direction.

ONVIF conformance

The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. ONVIF conformant devices are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and control information. They are automatically discovered and connected to network applications such as video management systems.

Tough design

The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate dome, and hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the full-featured camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal for outdoor use, the cameras are protected against water and dust to IP 66 (NEMA‑4X) standards. The camera enclosure provides the extra protection necessary for applications such as schools, banks, prisons, parking garages, retail and industrial buildings.

Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes completely assembled and ready to use. Using the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can select the exact field of view. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, corner and suspended ceiling. The compact, sleek design and virtually flush-mount appearance complements any decor.

Unsurpassed flexibility

There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on a PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video Management System, or with the Bosch Video Client. The camera is also ideal for use with a

Divar 700 Series digital video recorder. By routing a video stream to a Bosch video decoder, you can also present the video with ultimate clarity on an analog monitor.

Cost effective, simple installation

Three power options, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet),

24 VAC and 12 VDC are available. Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras
