System overview
Compared to SD cameras, the DINION IP 7000 HD offers, at no higher cost, motorized autofocus, higher resolution, better sensitivity, higher frame rates and improved picture quality and is still more bandwidth efficient. Video storage costs are significantly reduced.

Hybrid operation
A surge-protected analog video output allows full hybrid operation. This means that high resolution IP video streaming and an analog video output are available simultaneously. The hybrid functionality offers an easy migration path from legacy CCTV to a modern IP-based system.

Functions
Secure and easily-installed
The sleek and sturdy housing design meets IP66 and NEMA 4x enclosure standards to protect your video surveillance equipment from adverse elements. A built-in heater and fan keep the internal temperature of the housing within the specified operating temperatures. A permanent low-power window defroster keeps the housing window clear in high humidity and icy condition. A sunshield is fitted to the top of the housing. Tamper-resistant screws for the locking clasps prevent illegitimate access to the housing contents. The supplied mounting bracket has a swivel and tilt head for maximum mounting flexibility. User connections for power, Ethernet and/or telemetry can be routed through seal-tight fittings in the rear or in the foot of the housing.

The unique, hinged, side-opening design in the housing provides easy access to the camera/lens controls when the kit is mounted. The auto-focus lens wizard makes it easy for an installer to accurately focus the camera for both day and night operation. The wizard is activated from the web browser or from the on-board camera push button making it easy to choose the workflow that'suits best. The automatic motorized back focus adjustment with 1:1 pixel mapping ensures the camera is always focused accurately.

Power failover
To increase power reliability, the camera can be simultaneously connected to both Power-over Ethernet (PoE) and the housing power supply. If the housing power supply fails and PoE is available, the camera switches seamlessly to the PoE power input. This ensures the camera remains operational during a local power supply failure. After the housing power supply is restored, the camera switches back to the housing power input.

Pre-wired
For easy connection, some kit models have a 1.5 m (5 ft) power cable pre-wired through a seal-tight cable gland in the housing foot. An Ethernet cable and other cables can be later fed through a second fitting in the foot or through fittings in the rear of the housing.

Outstanding image quality
With a 1/2.7-inch CMOS HD sensor, the camera delivers outstanding image quality. Image performance and color reproduction are superb even under challenging lighting conditions. This true day/night can automatically switch from color to monochrome mode by sensing the illumination level or manually via the alarm input or a web browser.

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. The low-noise image and the efficient H.264 compression technology provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 50% compared to other H.264 cameras. This results in reduced-bandwidth streams that'still retain a high image quality and smooth motion. The camera provides the most usable image possible by cleverly optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio.

Area-based encoding
Area-based encoding is another feature which reduces bandwidth. Compression parameters for up to eight user-definable regions can be set. This allows uninteresting regions to be highly compressed, leaving more bandwidth for important parts of the scene.

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.

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. With IVA, Intelligent Tracking can follow objects within the defined regions of interest. Intelligent Tracking can autonomously detect and track moving objects or the user can click on an object which the tracker will then follow.

Flexible lens choice
The camera comes with a choice of AVF (Automatic Varifocal) lenses for easy installation. These SR (Super Resolution) lenses have an advanced iris design to ensure that the high resolution HD sensor produces the sharpest image possible, even in the corners.

Simple set-up
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that allows fast and easy configuration. Configurable scene modes are provided with the best settings for a variety of applications.
• Indoor - general day-to-night changes in an indoor environment without sun highlights or street lighting effects.
• Outdoor - general day-to-night changes in an outdoor environment with sun highlights and street lighting effects.
• Traffic - for monitoring traffic movement on roads or parking lots. It can also be used in industrial applications where fast moving objects are to be monitored. Motion artifacts are minimized.
• Night-optimized - optimized for details in low light environments.
• Intelligent AE - optimized for scenes with fluctuating front and back light caused by sunlight or other illuminated objects in the scene.
• Vibrant - enhanced contrast, sharpness and saturation.
• Low bit rate - reduces bandwidth requirements.
• Sports and gaming - high-speed capture and improved color rendition and sharpness.
• Retail - improved color rendition and sharpness with reduced bandwidth requirements.

Storage management
Recording management can be controlled by the Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) or the camera can use iSCSI targets directly without any recording software.

Edge recording
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to 2 TB of local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network and extends the effective life of the memory card.

Video analytics
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 that is built into all camera versions is the perfect solution for applications where standard video content analysis features are required. The IVA version of the camera uses the latest generation of the Bosch Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) software. This IVA system is the guard-assistant system of choice when reliable indoor or outdoor video analytics is needed.

The state-of-the-art system reliably detects, tracks and analyzes moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image. The face detection feature detects faces in the scene and forwards a high quality JPEG image of the best shot of each face when the face disappears from the scene. Retrospective forensic search capabilities are available remotely from the web browser or the Bosch Video Client.

Cloud-based services
The camera supports time-based or alarm-based JPEG posting to four different accounts. These accounts can address FTP servers or cloud-based storage facilities (for example, Dropbox). Video clips or JPEG images can also be exported to these accounts. Alarms can be set up to trigger an e-mail or SMS notification so you are always aware of abnormal events.
