Functions
High-performance starlight PTZ camera: Starlight Technology
Extreme low-light sensitivity makes this camera an exceptional performer in all lighting conditions. In low light, the camera automatically switches from color to monochrome by removing the IR filter to boost sensitivity, while maintaining superior image quality. For operation in the darkest conditions, automatic control of shutter speeds increases sensitivity by more than 50 times. Starlight models have a 720p50/60 HD imaging platform with starlight technology. The camera produces detailed video images in scenes with limited ambient lighting, without any motion blur associated with cameras that use slow shutters. The camera has been tuned to deliver high-quality HD video in both day and night operation.

Sodium vapor lamp white balance
The camera is an exceptional performer when capturing video under a sodium vapor lamp (a street lamp or tunnel lamp, for example). Images under these conditions may have a yellowish tint, which can make identification difficult. In the Sodium Vapor White Balance mode, the camera automatically compensates for the light from a sodium vapor lamp to restore objects to their original color.

Five (5) pre-programmed user modes
Five pre-programmed but configurable user modes, optimized with the best settings for a variety of typical applications, make on-site programming easy and user-friendly. Users select from the menu the mode that best defines the environment in which the camera is installed:
Outdoor: General day-to-night changes with sun highlights and street lighting
Indoor: Ideal mode for indoor applications where lighting is constant and not changing
Low light: Optimized for sufficient details at low light
Motion: Monitoring traffic or fast moving objects; motion artifacts are minimized
Vibrant: Enhanced contrast color reproduction and sharpness

Users have the ability to customize these modes, if necessary, for the specific requirements of the site.

Image Stabilization
As PTZ cameras continue to increase their optical zoom capabilities, image stabilization becomes critical to eliminate movement caused by unstable camera mounts. Minor movement of the camera mount can shift the field of view by a large distance when the camera is zoomed to a high value. This can render images unusable. The camera incorporates an Image Stabilization algorithm that allows the camera to detect continuous vibration. If it detects vibration, the camera dynamically corrects the shaky video in both the vertical and horizontal axis, resulting in exceptional image clarity and a stable field of view on the monitor.

Superior privacy masking
The camera provides 24 individual, easy to configure privacy masks, with up to 8 displayed in the same scene. As the camera is zoomed, each mask changes size smoothly and quickly, ensuring that the covered object cannot be seen in most cases.

Sophisticated alarm responses
The camera supports advanced alarm control that uses sophisticated rules-based logic to determine how to manage alarms. In its most basic form, a "rule" could define which input(s) should activate which output(s). In a more complex form, inputs and outputs can be combined with pre-defined or user-specified commands to perform advanced camera functions.

PTZ drive and mechanism
The AUTODOME 7000 supports 256 pre-positions and two styles of Guard Tours: Preset and Record/ Playback. Users can configure the preset standard tour with as many as 256 sequential pre-positions, with a configurable dwell time between pre-positions. The AUTODOME Series also provides support for two recorded tours, which are recorded macros of an operator's movements, including pan, tilt and zoom activities and can be played back with the click of a button. Pan and tilt preset repeatability are accurate to within +/-0.1 degrees to ensure that the correct scene is captured every time.

The camera delivers variable pan/ tilt speeds from a crawl speed of only 0.1 degrees per second to a full 400 degrees per second. The camera is capable of pan speeds of 400 degrees per second and tilt speeds of 300 degrees per second between prepositions. The camera provides a tilt angle 18 degrees above the horizon and a pan range of up to 360 degrees continuous rotation.

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. The Intelligent Defog technology, for example, allows you to view video clearly through a foggy scene or can improve contrast in dark areas of a scene.

Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction reduces bandwidth and storage requirements
The camera uses Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (IDNR) which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly. The low-noise image and the efficient H.264 compression technology combine to provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 30% 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.

Intelligent Defog
Users can configure the mode to be active continuously or to activate automatically when the video analytics in the camera detect fog and add light to the video image (and then deactivate when the fog clears or the scene changes).

Intelligence
With built-in Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), the camera reinforces the concept of Intelligence at the Edge. IVA is Bosch's state-of-the-art intelligent video content analysis technology. With IVA, the camera reliably detects and analyzes moving objects while 2, AUTODOME IP starlight 7000 HD suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image. IVA also allows the camera to detect multiple object behaviors including idle and removed objects, loitering, multiple line crossing and trajectories. IVA supports BEV (Bird's-Eye-View) People Counter and Assisted Self-Calibration. Configurable detection filters improve reliability and reduce operator work load.

Intelligent Tracking
The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) to follow an individual or an object continuously. Objects detected by IVA in a stationary position activate the Intelligent Tracking feature, which controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the tracked object in the scene. The new tracking feature is based on robust flow detection algorithms which can reliably track moving objects even under challenging scenes. The tracking and detection reliability can be enhanced further with virtual masking for scenes with a lot of background "noise" such as trees or other objects creating constant motion in the scene. The camera supports three modes for Intelligent Tracking.

Auto mode: When configured in this mode, the camera actively analyzes the video to detect any moving object. If it detects movement, it begins to track the object. This mode is most useful for scenarios where no motion is expected in the scene.
Click mode: In this mode, users can click an object moving in the live video image to enable the camera to track the movement of the selected object. This mode is most useful for scenarios where normal scene activity is expected.
IVA-triggered mode: In this mode, the camera continuously analyzes the scene for IVA alarms or IVA rule violations. If an IVA rule is violated, it triggers the advanced tracking feature of the camera to start following the object / person that triggered the alarm. This unique combination of robust IVA and Intelligent Tracking allows the camera to track moving objects of interest without getting distracted by other moving objects in the scene.
