Bosch AUTODOME IP 5000 HD 30x 1MP Camera with 4.3-129mm Varifocal Lens and Clear Bubble, Outdoor, White

With AUTODOME IP 5000 HD cameras, you can capture full details of your surveillance space and identify activity details in the scene. The 30x zoom lens with 720p25/30 or 1080p25/30 HD resolution ensures a sufficient magnification ratio to identify people easily from a distance of up to 180 m (590 ft) for 1080p models and up to 125 m (410 ft) for 720p models. The camera provides complete network-based control of all functionality including pan/tilt/zoom operation, presets, tours, alarms, and web-based configuration of all camera settings.

The AUTODOME IP family makes it easier for you to stay in control of your security even when you're on the go. When used in combination with the Video Security App from Bosch, the camera supports Dynamic Transcoding technology, which allows you to stream high-resolution H.264 video, to pan/tilt/zoom the camera, and to search recorded clips remotely through mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets, all on a low-bandwidth network connection (up to 50% less than other H.264 PTZ cameras).

Functions

Superior imaging performance
Designed using Bosch's digital imaging platform, AUTODOME IP 5000 HD cameras deliver highresolution, zoomed-in views for indoor and outdoor applications with large coverage areas.

Pre-programmed user modes
The camera comes with three (3) pre-tuned scene modes to match various lighting conditions found in indoor scenes. Users can complete the configuration without going through multiple imaging settings.

• Indoor: general day-to-night changes without sun highlights and street lighting
• Outdoor: general day-to-night changes with sun highlights and street lighting
• Vibrant: enhanced contrast, sharpness and saturation

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). Uncorrected images under these conditions 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.

Superior privacy masking
For installations in public places where privacy of private property is of high concern, 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.

PTZ drive and mechanism
The camera supports 256 pre-positions and two styles of Guard Tours: Pre-position and Record/Playback. The Pre-position tour has capability for up to 64 prepositions with a configurable dwell time between prepositions and can be customized as to the order and the frequency that each Pre-position is visited. The camera also provides support for two (2) recorded tours, which have a total duration of 15 minutes of movements. These are recorded macros of an operator's movements, including pan, tilt, and zoom activities, and can be played back in a continuous manner.

Pan and tilt preset repeatability are accurate to within +/-0.2 degrees to ensure that the correct scene is captured every time. The camera delivers maximum pan speed of 300 degrees per second and maximum tilt speed of 200 degrees per second. The camera is capable of manual speeds (pan and tilt) of 0.1 to 120 degrees per second. The camera provides a pan range of up to 360 degrees continuous rotation. The camera's tilt angle is from 0 Degree to +/-90 Degree.

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. User can configure encoding regions for every configured preset (preposition/scene), to increase or decrease the encoding quality for selectable areas of the video image. These regions give better control of the bit rate. Important parts of the scene (identified as objects in the GUI) are encoded at high resolution and therefore have an enhanced encoding quality. Less important parts (such as the sky and trees in the background, all identified as backgrounds in the GUI) are encoded at lower quality and therefore have a decreased encoding quality.

Intelligent Defog
Users can configure the mode to be active continuously, or to activate automatically when the video analytics in the camera detects fog and optimizes the contract in the video image (and then deactivates when the fog clears or the scene changes).

Advanced streaming
The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities so that you can configure the camera to take advantage of the latest network technology. The camera is designed on an efficient and powerful encoding platform capable of delivering high-quality HD video with very low network load. The new intelligent encoding capabilities drop the bandwidth consumption to extremely low levels if the camera detects no motion in the scene. The camera is capable of quad streaming which allows the camera to be configured to deliver independent, configurable streams for live viewing, recording, or remote monitoring on over bandwidth-constrained networks.

Recording and storage management
A memory card (a maximum of 32 GB microSDHC / 2 TB microSDXC) can be used for local alarm recording or for scheduled local recording to improve the overall recording reliability. Recording management can be controlled by the Bosch Video Recording Manager (Video Recording Manager), or the camera can use iSCSI targets directly without any recording software.

Alarm handling and Motion Detection
A wide range of configuration options is available for alarms signaling the camera. A built-in algorithm for detecting movement on presets can also be used for alarm signaling, or the camera can interface to an external alarm source using the built-in alarm I/O ports. In addition, a user can also schedule virtual alarms. Any of the available external alarm, motion alarm or scheduled virtual alarms can then be used to trigger a relay output or to force the camera to do certain tasks (for example, to start a guard tour or to go to a preset location).

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.

Complete viewing software
There are many ways to access the camera's features: using a web browser, with the Bosch Video Management System, with the free-of-charge Bosch Video Client, with the Video Security App, or via third-party software.

Bosch Video Security app
The AUTODOME IP cameras fully support Dynamic Transcoding technology from Bosch, which -in combination with the Video Security App from Bosch- provides 24/7 remote access to camera controls, live video streams, recordings and HD images from anywhere, regardless of available bandwidth. Dynamic Transcoding automatically adjusts the bit rate to the available bandwidth to ensure smooth video streaming. When the video is paused at an incident, a full HD still image is shown instantly. To gain all benefits of Dynamic Transcoding, simply expand the IP video surveillance system with either a DIVAR IP recording solution or a VIDEOJET XTC from Bosch.

System integration
The camera conforms to the ONVIF Profile S specifications. This ensures interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. Third-party integrators can easily access the internal feature set of the camera for integration into large projects.

Dual power options
All models can be powered by a IEEE 802.3at PoE+ switch or a 24 VAC power supply. When powered using PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at class 4) configuration, only a single cable connection is required to power and to control the camera while also viewing images from the camera. For additional system reliability, users also have the option to connect the 24 VAC power supply to the camera while using PoE+.

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