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

Functions
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 Image Technology (C-BIT) 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.

Flexible lens choice
The camera comes with a choice of tele, mid-range and ultra wide angle lenses. These varifocal 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. The optically corrected ultra wide angle lens provides outstanding performance without the need for dewarping software.

Simple installation
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that allows fast and easy configuration. Six configurable user modes are provided with the best settings for a variety of applications:
Outdoor: general day-to-night changes with sun highlights and street lighting
Indoor: general day-to-night changes without sun highlights and street lighting
Motion: monitoring traffic or fast moving objects; motion artifacts are minimized
Lowlight: Optimized for sufficient details at low light
Intelligent AE (BLC on non-IVA models): for people moving in front of a bright background
Vibrant: enhanced contrast, sharpness and saturation

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.

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. A corridor 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.

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
The internal MicroSD card slot supports up to 2 TB of storage capacity. A microSD card can be used for local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network or - if microSD card recording is used - extends the effective life of the storage medium.

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.

Regions of interest
Two Regions of Interest (ROI) can be user defined. The remote 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. The IVA Intelligent tracker can also follow objects within the defined regions of interest. The Intelligent tracker can autonomously detect and track moving objects or the user can click on an object which the Intelligent tracker will then follow.

Rugged design
The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate window and hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force (>IK10). Ideal for outdoor use, the camera is protected against water and dust to IP66 and IP67 (NEMA Type 4x) standards. 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.

Access Security
Password protection with three levels and 802.1x authentication is supported. To secure Web browser access, use HTTPS with a SSL certificate stored in the camera. The video and audio communication channels can be independently AES encrypted with 128-bit keys by installing the optional encryption site license.

Surveillance software
There are many ways to access the camera's video and IVA-based features: using a web browser, with the Bosch Video Management System, with the Bosch Recording System, with the free-of-charge Bosch Video Client or with the video security mobile App. The Bosch Video Client PC surveillance software offers a user-friendly interface to support easy installation and configuration. It also provides easy live viewing of multiple cameras, playback, forensic search and export. Access to IVA metadata is available to integrators via RTSP.

Video security App
The Bosch video security mobile App has been developed to enable Anywhere access to HD surveillance images allowing you to view live images from any location. The App is designed to give you complete control of all your cameras, from panning and tilting to zoom and focus functions. It's like taking your control room with you. This App, together with the separately available Bosch transcoder, will allow you to fully utilize their dynamic transcoding features so you can play back images even over low-bandwidth connections.

Connections
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S specification. This guarantees interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports Auto-MDIX which allows the use of straight or cross-over cables. Camera power is supplied via PoE (Power-over Ethernet) or via the 24 VAC/12 VDC connector. Third-party integrators can easily access the internal feature set of the camera for integration into large projects.
