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 high-quality 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 third-party
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.
