20-bit Image Processing
The highly accurate digital signal processing optimally
captures the detail in both bright highlights and deep
shadows simultaneously. By combining 20-bit image
processing and wide dynamic range, the FlexiDome 2X
maximizes the information visible in the picture even
with strong backlighting.

Day/Night Mode
The day/night mode provides enhanced night viewing
by increasing the IR sensitivity. The IR filter can switch
from color to monochrome automatically by either
sensing the illumination level or via the alarm input.
The filter can be switched manually via the alarm
input, through the camera menu or via the Bilinx
coaxial control interface. An internal through-the-lens
IR detector enhances the monochrome mode stability,
as it prevents reverting to the color mode when IR
illumination is dominant. IR contrast is also measured
and used to handle reflected IR light in outdoor
scenes.

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.

Bilinx Technology
Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability
embedded in the video signal of all Bosch FlexiDome
cameras. Technicians 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.

Ease of installation
Several features are available that make installation
easy:

Programmable Modes
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.

Video Motion Detection
The built-in video motion detector allows you to select
a programmable area with individual thresholds. The
global scene change detector minimizes false alarms
caused by sudden lighting condition changes, such as
switching on or off the indoor or security lighting.
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.

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.

Lens Options
With the FlexiDome 2X dome camera, there is no
compromise between scene coverage and aesthetics
of the camera. The camera brings the widest choice of
lens selection. Choose lenses between 2.8 to 10 mm
for wide coverage, 9 to 22 mm VF lens for standard
coverage, or 6 to 50 mm for long-rang coverage.
