Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The cameras use H.264 compression, bandwidth
throttling, and multicasting capabilities to manage
bandwidth and storage requirements efficiently, while
delivering high image quality and resolution. The
bandwidth of an H.264 stream using Main profile at 4CIF
resolution is about the same as one MPEG-4 stream at
2CIF resolution. Bosch's innovative tri-streaming feature
enables Dinion IP cameras to generate two independent
H.264 streams and one M-JPEG stream simultaneously.
This allows streaming of high-quality H.264 images for live
viewing and recording while streaming M-JPEG images to
another 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.
Dinion IP cameras offer unparalleled recording options.
Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI targets
directly, as well as Network Video Recorders (NVRs). The
iSCSI storage target support enables the cameras to
function as a conventional DVR, while streaming high-
performance live video across the network.
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, that 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
tamper-detection capabilities.
Hardware enhanced
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 bases the IVA
algorithm on digital imaging technology that uses multi-
level image analysis of pixels, texture, and object
direction, and is activated by installing a license.
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 camera’s video: on a
PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, or with VIDOS. The camera is also
ideal for use with a Divar 700 Series digital video
recorder. By routing a video stream to a Bosch video
decoder, you can also present the video with ultimate
clarity on an analog monitor.
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.
Dinion IP cameras can be configured using the control
buttons on the camera as an alternative to configuration
over IP. 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.
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 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.
Programmable Modes
Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes
support typical applications, but are fully programmable
for individual situations.
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, manually via the alarm
input, or remotely via a web browser. An internal, through-
