without compromising dynamic range. Features such
as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the
details in a scene, pixel by pixel.
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-the-lens IR detector
enhances monochrome mode stability by preventing
the camera from returning to color mode when IR-
illumination is dominant.
Privacy masking
Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a
scene to be blocked. A mask for any part of the scene
can be pre-programmed.
Default Shutter
The default shutter speed captures fast moving
objects when sufficient light is available. When light
levels fall and other adjustments have been exhausted,
the shutter speed reverts to a standard setting to
maintain sensitivity.
SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on
the CCD, the effective sensitivity is dramatically
enhanced. This is especially useful when relying only
on moonlight for illumination.
Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The cameras use H.264 (Main Profile) compression,
bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to
manage bandwidth and storage requirements
efficiently, while delivering high image quality and
resolution.
Bosch's innovative Quad-streaming feature enables the
FlexiDome2X IP to deliver three H.264 streams (two
4CIF streams and an I‑frame only stream) together
with an M‑JPEG stream. These four streams facilitate
bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording options as
well as integration with third-party video management
systems.
FlexiDome2X IP cameras offer unparalleled recording
options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI
targets directly without any additional recording
software. The recording capabilities of the system can
be further enhanced by using the Bosch Video
Recording Manager.
The camera also supports local recording on a
microSD card. This can be used for local alarm
recording or for Automatic Network Replenishment
(ANR) to improve the overall reliability of video
recording.
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, which 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 advanced Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) option
bases the IVA algorithm on digital imaging technology
that uses multi-level image analysis of pixels, texture,
and object direction.
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.
Tough design
The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate dome, and
hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of
55 kg (120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the
full-featured camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal
for outdoor use, the cameras are protected against
water and dust to IP 66 (NEMA‑4X) standards. The
camera enclosure provides the extra protection
necessary for applications such as schools, banks,
prisons, parking garages, retail and industrial
buildings.
Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes
completely assembled and ready to use. Using the
proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can
select the exact field of view. Mounting options are
numerous, including surface, wall, corner and
suspended ceiling. The compact, sleek design and
virtually flush-mount appearance complements any
decor.
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 the Bosch Video Client.
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
