2 VDN-498 Series FlexiDome 2X Dome Camera

areas, and one short exposure to resolve details in the scene’s brightest areas. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) of the FlexiDome 2X combines these dual shutter images, mixing pixels from each exposure to produce the most detailed image possible.

20-bit Image Processing

The highly accurate digital signal processing optimally captures the detail in both bright highlights and deep shadows simultaneously. By combining 20-bit image processing and wide dynamic range, the FlexiDome 2X maximizes the information visible in the picture even with strong backlighting.

Wide Dynamic Range

The superior wide dynamic range handling for all lighting conditions reveals details previously unseen.

2X-Dynamic and SmartBLC

Using 2X-Dynamic technology, pixel-by-pixel analysis provides the user with the most detailed information. Turn on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the image without the need for complicated set-up or without compromising dynamic range.

Detail Enhancement

Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the details in a scene, pixel by pixel.

Day/Night Mode

The day/night mode provides enhanced night viewing by increasing the IR sensitivity. The IR filter can switch from color to monochrome automatically by either sensing the illumination level or via the alarm input. The filter can be switched manually via the alarm input, through the camera menu or via the Bilinx coaxial control interface. An internal through-the-lens IR detector enhances the monochrome mode stability, as it prevents reverting to the color mode when IR illumination is dominant. IR contrast is also measured and used to handle reflected IR light in outdoor scenes.

Privacy masking

Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a scene to be blocked. Pre-program any part of the scene to be masked.

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.

Bilinx Technology

Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability embedded in the video signal of all Bosch FlexiDome cameras. Technicians can check status, change camera settings and even update firmware from virtually anywhere along the video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time, provides for more accurate set- up and adjustment, and improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses the standard video cable to

transmit alarm and status messages, providing superior performance without additional installation steps.

Ease of installation

Several features are available that make installation easy:

•Video connection BNC on flying lead

•Power connection on flying leads

•A built-in test pattern generator produces signals to test and fault-find cables.

•A multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD) increases user compatibility.

Programmable Modes

Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes support typical applications, but are fully programmable for individual situations. Switching between modes is easy via Bilinx or the external alarm input.

High efficiency

A high efficiency power supply improves maximum operating temperature.

Video Motion Detection

The built-in video motion detector allows you to select a programmable area with individual thresholds. The global scene change detector minimizes false alarms caused by sudden lighting condition changes, such as switching on or off the indoor or security lighting. When motion is detected, alarms can be displayed in the video signal, the output relay can be closed or an alarm message can be transmitted via Bilinx.

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.

Lens Options

With the FlexiDome 2X dome camera, there is no compromise between scene coverage and aesthetics of the camera. The camera brings the widest choice of lens selection. Choose lenses between 2.8 to 10 mm for wide coverage, 9 to 22 mm VF lens for standard coverage, or 6 to 50 mm for long-rang coverage.

Typical applications

•Entrance foyer/lobby with glass

•Warehouses and loading bays

•Prisons and correctional facilities

•Airport locations including:

–baggage handling

–fuel and equipment storage

•Stadium
