Review Summary
The DINION IP ultra 8000 MP with 12 megapixel resolution offers crisp, clear and extremely detailed images for the most demanding IP video surveillance requirements. It captures 12 megapixel at 20 fps and 4K UHD at 30 fps, so providing images of fast moving objects in high resolutions. The content-rich image allows effective retrospective analysis at the level of detail that makes the difference when collecting forensic evidence. The camera offers a wide-angle overview and multiple focus points on a single screen so now you can focus on details without losing the bigger picture.

System overview
Advanced image processing techniques take the DINION IP ultra 8000 MP to the next level. Intelligent Video Analysis tracks and focuses on relevant situations and adds sense and structure to stored video, allowing you to quickly retrieve the correct data. Intelligent Auto Exposure gives superb front and back light compensation, providing you with the perfect picture every time. Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction saves bitrate at the source and only uses bandwidth when needed. This results in up to 50% less bitrate and significantly reduces storage costs and network strain without compromising on video quality.
Functions
Measured dynamic range
The dynamic range of the camera is outstanding and is obvious in real world performance comparisons - 92 dB wide dynamic range for 4K UHD mode (plus an extra 16 dB when combined with Intelligent Auto Exposure). The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF) analysis with a standardized test chart based on ISO standards. This method provides more realistic and verifiable results in comparison with the theoretical approximations sometimes used.
Intelligent Video Analysis
After only 20 minutes you can miss 90% of the activity on a screen. Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA ) assists by alerting you when predefined alarms are triggered. By smartly combining up to 8 IVA rules, complex tasks are made easy and false alarms are reduced to a minimum. IVA also adds sense and structure to your video by adding metadata. This enables you to quickly retrieve the relevant images from hours of stored video. Metadata can also be used to deliver irrefutable forensic evidence or to optimize business processes based on people counting or crowd density information.
Intelligent Auto Exposure
Fluctuations in backlight and front light can ruin your images. To achieve the perfect picture in every situation, Intelligent Auto Exposure automatically adjusts the exposure of the camera. It offers superb front light compensation and incredible backlight compensation by automatically adapting to changing light conditions.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
Quiet scenes with little or no movement require a lower bitrate. By intelligently distinguishing between noise and relevant information, Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction reduces bitrate by up to 50%. Because noise is reduced at the source during image capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise on video quality.
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction adjusts spatial and temporal filtering (3DNR) based on intelligent analysis of the scene content. Motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) reduces motion blur normally associated with standard temporal filtering. This maintains image quality of fast moving objects while still optimizing bitrate. With Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, Bosch focus is to significantly reduce storage costs and lessen network strain by only using bandwidth when needed.
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.
Selectable resolution and aspect ratio
The camera has three basic application variants that can be chosen at start-up to provide the best possible performance for typical applications:
12MP (4:3)
4K UHD (16:9)
1080p (16:9)
The 12MP variant can be used in applications where the highest resolution possible is required. The 4K UHD variant is suitable for applications where the 16:9 4K standard is required with a frame rate of 30 fps. The 1080p30 (16:9) variant is for applications that require extra sensitivity and dynamic range. Each of these variants selects the best possible tuning parameters for the application so that you get the best performance possible from your camera.
Scene modes
The camera has a very intuitive user interface that allows fast and easy configuration. Nine configurable modes are provided with the best settings for a variety of applications. Different scene modes can be selected for day or night situations.
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
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, plus easy integration with third-party video management systems. Depending on the resolution and frame rate selected for the first stream, the second stream provides a copy of the first stream or a lower resolution stream.
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. Intelligent Tracking continuously analyses the scene for moving objects. If a moving object is detected, the camera automatically adjusts its settings, including field of view, to optimally capture details of the object of interest.
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.
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.
Lens options
The permanently attached wide-angled lenses of 5 mm or 3.2 mm are factory mounted and calibrated and cannot be replaced in the field. There are three telephoto lenses optionally available for the camera body version:
a 35 mm lens (LFF-8012C-D35)
a 50 mm lens (LFF-8012C-D50)
a 75 mm lens (LFF-8012C-D75)
The separate camera body includes an auto-focus lens wizard to ensure that lenses can be easily focused. The automatic motorized focus adjustment with 1:1 pixel mapping ensures that the camera with these telephoto lenses is always focused accurately.
Housing options
To protect the camera, two housings are optionally available (UHO-POE-10 and UHO-HBGS-X1). When choosing a housing keep the following in mind:
A camera with a 75 mm telephoto lens is too long for the UHO-POE-10 housing; use the UHO-HBGS-X1 housing instead.
A camera with a 3.2 mm factory-mounted lens has a restricted view at the edges in the UHO-HBGS-X1 housing; use the UHO-POE-10 housing instead.
DORI coverage
DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) is a standard system (EN-50132-7) for defining the ability of a camera to distinguish persons or objects within a covered area.
