2 NDN-921 FlexiDomeHD 720p Day/Night IP Camera
and user-friendly. The installer just needs to select a mode from the menu that best defines the environment in which the camera is being installed. However, the operator still has the ability to customize these modes, if necessary, for the specific requirements of the site.
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, via the alarm input, or remotely via a web browser. In scenes with predominantly IR light, use the alarm input for reliable Day/Night filter switching.
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 allows the camera to use a higher shutter speed when sufficient light is available (for applications such as traffic management). 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 FlexiDomeHD to deliver three H.264 streams (a 720p HD stream, a downscaled resolution stream, and a HD 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. FlexiDomeHD cameras offer unparalleled recording options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI targets directly without needing any recording software. The recording management capabilities of the system can be further enhanced by using the Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM).
FlexidomeHD supports local storage on micro SD 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 version
The hardware-enhanced version of the camera gives you the opportunity to upgrade the video content analysis features of the camera with the more advanced Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) option. This option contains such features as idle object, line crossing, flow detection, crowd detection etc. The camera can be ordered with IVA pre-installed from the factory or IVA can be activated on hardware enhanced versions by installing a license on-site.
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, retail outlets and industrial buildings. Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes completely assembled and ready to use. The camera uses Bosch designed lens and optics to deliver true HD resolution with different light levels.
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 mounting. 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 (VMS), or with the Bosch Video Client. The Bosch Video Client is provided free of charge with each camera. This easy-to-use software can easily configure and operate up to 16 cameras. A license upgrade adds support for up to 64 cameras.
