Bosch DINION IP 1/3" Color Network Camera, NTSC, 24 VAC / 12 VDC / PoE, 60 Hz

DINION IP cameras are modern, hybrid systems that support legacy-direct analog output, as well as modern network delivery. They can stream video simultaneously on both channels. Supporting the award-winning DINION digital imaging technology, they provide proven, dependable service for the most demanding security and surveillance requirements.

Functions

Unsurpassed flexibility
The DINION IP is a true hybrid camera. Equipped with both Ethernet and BNC connections, it can simultaneously stream IP video across a local or wide area network and CVBS video via coaxial cable to support existing analog equipment. It can fit seamlessly into an existing analog system, making use of installed equipment, while providing new IP-based functionality.

There are many ways to access the camera's video: on a PC using a web browser, using Bosch's DiBos Digital Video Recorder, with VIDOS or BVMS video management systems, or via a Bosch IP video decoder for viewing on an analog CVBS or VGA monitor. The BNC connection provides direct input to a conventional analog matrix switcher or DVR, further enhancing the DINION IP's viewing and recording flexibility.

ONVIF
ONVIF (Open Network video Interface Forum) compliancy ensures integration with third party management systems and video network devices.

H.264 Baseline Profile Encoding
Firmware version 4.0 and higher enables the camera to use H.264 Baseline Profile to encode the video signal. This reduces the required bit rate for a given quality setting, or increases the quality while keeping the bit rate setting.

Because H.264 Baseline Profile does not support field encoding, interlaced video is not possible, thus resolution is limited to a maximum of 2CIF. H.264 encoding requires double the performance in respect to MPEG 4. Frame rate values must therefore be divided by two.

Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The cameras use MPEG-4/H.264 compression, bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to manage bandwidth and storage requirements efficiently, while delivering the best image quality and resolution. Bosch's innovative tri-streaming feature enables DINION IP cameras to generate two independent MPEG-4/H.264 streams and an M-JPEG stream simultaneously. This allows streaming of highquality images for live viewing, while recording at a reduced frame rate, and streaming M-JPEG images to a remote PDA device at the same time. The M-JPEG video stream also provides easy integration with thirdparty JPEG or M-JPEG-compatible video management systems.

The DINION IP cameras offer unparalleled recording options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI devices directly, as well as Network Video Recorders (NVRs). The iSCSI RAID5 storage support enables the cameras to function as a conventional DVR, while streaming high-performance live video across the network. The cameras also offer 10 Mb internal RAM storage.

Cost effective, simple installation
DINION IP cameras contain a built-in Power over Ethernet-(PoE) complaint network adapter. Power over Ethernet transmits power from the network switch, over the Ethernet cable, directly to the camera. This makes installation easier and less expensive, because cameras can now be installed in places where AC power is not available.

The On-Screen Display (OSD) simplifies back focus adjustment and network configuration, minimizing installation and support costs. The Lens Wizard automatically detects the lens type and helps focus the lens at the maximum opening to maintain proper focus throughout the 24-hour cycle. Unlike other IP cameras, no network connection, PC configuration utilities, or other tools are required to set up DINION IP cameras.

Superior image quality
With a 1/3-inch color CCD and Bosch's advanced digital signal processing, the DINION IP provides outstanding image quality in virtually all situations. Automatically activate the NightSense feature to extend sensitivity under low-light conditions by a factor of three in monochrome operation. MPEG-4 compression technology provides DVD-quality, 4CIF video at frame rates of up to 30 images per second for NTSC, and up to 25 IPS for PAL. Bosch's advanced H. 264 compression technology reduces bandwidth and storage needs by up to 30% compared to traditional MPEG-4 IP compression.

Intelligence
The DINION IP supports increased intelligence at the edge that provides powerful tamper detection for various combined picture cases arising from: video loss, masking, hooding, defocusing, and diverted camera. Bosch also offers Intelligent Video Motion Detection (IVMD) as an additional licensable option. This provides Video Content Analysis (VCA) directly at the video input for even more advanced VCA.
