Bosch NBN-921 DINION HD 720p Day/Night IP Camera, IVA

DINIONHD Day/Night IP cameras are progressive scan HD cameras that use the Bosch-designed DINION digital imaging technology. The camera uses the latest CCD-based HD sensor for a sharper, more detailed picture with a 16:9 image format. Features such as multicasting, internet streaming and iSCSI recording are fully supported. The DINIONHD camera delivers the highest standards of performance and reliability in any security and surveillance scenario, day and night.

Functions

720p HD Camera
The DINIONHD is designed using the latest HD CCD sensor which can deliver high resolution 720p streaming video in HD format (16:9). The camera now brings the unmatched DINION Image performance to HD-standard video.

Outstanding image quality
With a 1/3-inch HD CCD sensor, the DINIONHD Day/Night IP camera delivers outstanding image quality. The Bosch-designed digital video processing system optimally handles the HD image format without compromise. Image performance and color reproduction are superb even under challenging lighting conditions.

XF Dynamic and SmartBLC
The XF-Dynamic technology uses pixel-by-pixel analysis to provide the user with the most detailed information. Turn on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the image without the need for complicated set-up or without compromising dynamic range. Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the details in a scene.

Programmable Modes
Six independent, pre-programmed configuration modes, which have been optimized for typical applications, makes camera programming on-site easy 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 DINIONHD 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. DINIONHD 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). DINIONHD supports local storage on a microSD 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 tamperdetection 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.

Unsurpassed flexibility There are many ways to access the cameras 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.

Cost effective, simple installation
Three power options, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), 24 VAC and 12 VDC are available. Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras do not require a local power source. To increase system reliability, the camera can be simultaneously connected to both PoE and 12 VDC/24 VAC supplies. Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can be used, which will allow continuous operation, even during a power failure. For trouble-free network cabling, the cameras support Auto-MDIX which allows the installer to use straight or cross-over cables.

Intuitive user interface
The DINIONHD camera has a very intuitive user interface that allows fast and easy configuration over IP. The new intuitive lens wizard in the web GUI guides the installer through a step-by-step procedure to setup the back focus correctly.

Easy Upgrade
Remotely upgrade the camera whenever new firmware becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products, thus protecting investment with little effort.

Access Security
Various security levels are available for accessing the network, the camera and the data channels. As well as password protection with three levels, 802.1x authentication using a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server is supported. To secure Web browser access, use HTTPS with a SSL certificate stored in the camera. For total data protection, the video and audio communication channels can be independently AES encrypted with 128-bit keys by installing the optional encryption site license.
