Bosch FLEXIDOME Corner 9000 IR Vandal-Resistant Corner-Mount Camera, NTSC

The FLEXIDOME corner 9000 IR is a vandal-resistant, corner-mount camera featuring a no-grip, anchor-free design. This water-resistant dome camera uses a high performance 960H 1/3-inch CCD sensor with a resolution of 720TVL. The sensor, the integrated infrared illumination, and the advanced image processing technology combine to allow 24/7 effective professional surveillance in high risk, vandal-prone applications under any ambient lighting conditions, even completely dark rooms.

The ultra-wide lens enables the camera to view the entirety of a small room, including the floor beneath the camera. The camera is impossible to grip or hang from, providing maximum safety for applications such as waiting rooms, elevators and psychiatric care rooms.

System overview

Corner-mount, vandal-resistant design
The innovative design allows a perfectly flush fit into the corner of a room that protects against even the most brutal attempt to destroy, detach or disable the camera. The sharp 45 Degree angle hides all wiring and delivers complete coverage of a 4.5 x 4.5 m (15 x 15') room, including below the camera itself. The camera has no anchor points for maximum safety in environments with at-risk individuals.

Infrared illumination
The camera harnesses the power of infrared illumination to deliver outstanding images day or night. Infrared-emitting LEDs achieve covert, effective night vision for the most advanced level of night vision performance available today. With the intensity-adjustable infrared LEDs, foreground hotspots and underexposed backgrounds are eliminated.

True day/night switching
The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology for vivid daytime color and exceptional night-time imaging under infrared illumination while maintaining sharp focus under all lighting conditions. The camera also features outstanding spectral response in the near infrared field for excellent active-infrared night vision.

Ease of installation
No focus or pan/tilt adjustments are required as the camera, with its wide angle lens, provides complete coverage of a 4.5 x 4.5 m (15 x 15 ft) room.

The camera can be supplied with power from either +12 VDC or 24 VAC power supplies.

Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes support typical applications, but are fully programmable for individual situations. Switching between modes is easy via Bilinx or the external alarm input.

Several other features are available that make installation easy:
• Video BNC and power connectors on flying leads.
• A built-in test pattern generator produces signals to test and fault-find cables.
• A built-in OSD control panel allows on-site adjustment of camera settings.
• A multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD).

Bilinx technology
Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability embedded in the video signal of this camera. Installers can check status, change camera settings and even update firmware from virtually anywhere along the video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time, provides for more accurate set-up and adjustment, and improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses the standard video cable to transmit alarm and status messages, providing superior performance without additional installation steps.

Ideal picture performance
There are many settings available to help fine-tune the picture performance to match your installation environment. These include:
• Smart BLC - automatically and dynamically compensates for strong backlight
• Peak White Invert - reduces glare from highlight areas
• Contrast and sharpness - enhance details in bright or misty scenes
• SensUp - sensitivity is dramatically enhanced by a factor of 10
• Default shutter - improves the motion performance in auto exposure mode
• Dynamic noise reduction - dynamically reduces noise in the picture

Privacy masking
Fifteen different privacy zones allow specific parts of a scene to be blocked. Pre-program any part of the scene to be masked.

Video Motion Detection
The built-in video motion detector allows you to select four programmable areas with sensitivity thresholds. When motion is detected, alarms can be displayed in the video signal, the output relay can be closed or an alarm message can be transmitted via Bilinx.

Typical applications
• Waiting rooms
• Hospital recovery rooms
• Psychiatric care rooms
• Vandal-prone areas
