Bosch Flexidome HD VR: video surveillance and design to integrate different image platforms

Developed as a hybrid solution for simultaneous IP and analog signals, Bosch Security's new Flexidome HD VR network camera incorporates the company's CBIT image optimization technology.

The new Flexidome HD VR IP camera from Bosch Security Systems completes the evolution of the company's video equipment, with features such as a compact, vandal-resistant dome housing that allows the integration of different HD imaging platforms in a unified design.

In this sense, The German manufacturer emphasizes that, in addition to the growing number of technical requirements that video surveillance solutions must meet, design considerations are equally important.

This is how Rob Bertens explains it, product manager video systems de Bosch Security: “in recent years, Bosch has introduced a series of highly advanced high-definition cameras that meet both requirements., and that represents the evolution in security products that is now completed with Flexidome IP HD VR, which is an important step forward in terms of design, image quality, ease of installation and operation”.

For this reason, This camera offers a selection of imaging modules: 720p60 for superior low light performance, 1.080p full HD resolution and 1,080p HDR, even for the most difficult wide dynamic range scenes. All three modules use the same Flexidome design, allowing freedom of choice and a unified aesthetic for video surveillance security installations.

Flexidome HD VR integra la tecnología Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT), a Bosch Security innovation that enables intelligent dynamic image optimization. CBIT enabled cameras include two special modes: Intelligent Auto exhibition (IAE), providing optimal data for objects of interest, plus intelligent dynamic noise reduction (ID NO), which reduces the need for bandwidth by up to 30% compared to other cameras.

To facilitate its handling, Flexidome HD VR equips an automatic variable focal length lens (AVF), which practically reduces installation time in half, since from the control room they can focus and adjust the zoom of several cameras at the same time remotely.

The camera's AVF lens takes full advantage of the high sensor resolutions available with Bosch super resolution lenses, to which is added the 90º horizontal view of the camera and a complete range of mounting options.

In addition to its advances in operation and aesthetics, This camera offers a hybrid security solution, as it is compatible with connections to existing analog devices and systems, including flat monitors, and allows a gradual conversion from analog systems to high-tech IP solutions.

Flexidome HD VR camera works seamlessly with Bosch transcoding technology, like the one applied in Video Client, the video management system of this manufacturer, as well as in its storage solutions. The user can view the video sequences from the iPad, browser or the free Bosch Viewing Client app, an additional advantage to facilitate management in retail facilities, restaurants, casinos, airports,…

Like the rest of the range of IP and high definition cameras, Bosh encoders and analysis systems, This model supports Onvif and built-in third-party software and storage solutions. El programa Integration Partner Program (IPP) The company offers partners immediate access to online tools to facilitate the integration of management and recording software, video analysis, videowall and management in 'the cloud'.
