Cameras & Optics

The FLEXIDOME multi 7000i camera is built for highquality performance, featuring four independent imagers with motorized zoom/focus lenses. It helps to simplify installation and lower costs while maintaining flexibility in coverage. With four scenes simultaneously in a single camera, it is perfect for wide area coverage, traffic intersections and building corners. When the lenses are tilted at the right angle, the camera can even cover an area up to full 360°. Additionally, the zoom capability allows the camera to obtain detailed coverage for more distant areas.

Functions

20-megapixel multi-directional overviews

Four independent 5-megapixel imagers with separate remote zoom and focus lenses capture very highquality images with a total resolution of 20 megapixels.

Each of the four imagers can be set-up flexibly with 3- axis movement along a circular track. This enables surround coverage, capturing detailed images from every angle for comprehensive video coverage with four separate views from a single IP address.

High Dynamic Range
The camera has High Dynamic Range. This is based on a multiple-exposure process that captures more details in the highlights and in the shadows even in the same scene. The result is that you can easily distinguish objects and features, for example, faces with bright backlight.

The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF) analysis according to IEC 62676 Part 5. This method is used to provide a standard result which can be used to compare different cameras.

H.265 high-efficiency video encoding

The camera is designed on the most efficient and powerful H.264 and H.265/HEVC encoding platform. The camera is capable of delivering high-quality and high-resolution video with very low network load. With a doubling of encoding efficiency, H.265 has become the new compression standard of choice for IP video surveillance systems.

Two-way audio and built-in microphone

Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate with visitors or intruders via an external audio line input and output. Alternatively, there is an integrated microphone to capture crisp and clear audio. By using the integrated or external microphone, audio detection can be used to generate alarms to alert the security operator quicker and act more proactively. If required by local laws, the microphone can be blocked via a secure license key.

Intelligent Video Analytics

The camera uses the latest generation of Bosch Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA). Specifically designed for the most demanding environments. It is extremely resistant to false triggers caused by challenging environments with snow, wind (moving trees), rain, hail, and water reflections. By using the zoom function of the lens, the camera can provide automatic person detection over distances up to 130 m / 430 ft.

This discreet, aesthetic camera mounts flush in a ceiling or wall. Its easily-painted cover plate blends in with almost all surroundings. The 12MP sensor operating at 30 fps provides full panoramic surveillance with complete area coverage, fine details and high speeds. The camera offers full situational awareness and simultaneous E-PTZ views in high resolution.

The 360° version of the camera, when mounted centrally on a ceiling, gives complete wall-to-wall coverage. The 180° version has a higher effective resolution and is ideal for wall mounting or for ceiling mounting in corridors.

The lens captures a circular image. Our dewarping software transforms this circular image into several different distortion-free rectangular views. To facilitate system integration, you can choose edge dewarping inside the camera or client-side dewarping on an external platform. The freely available Video Security Client from Bosch provides advanced client-side dewarping features.

The AUTODOME IP starlight 7000i camera incorporates the latest in Video Analytics, starlight technology, and video streaming. With starlight imaging technology for excellent low-light sensitivity and the most robust Intelligent Video Analytics on the market, the camera delivers unmatched picture quality. Even under the most challenging light conditions, the 30x PTZ dome camera delivers high-definition (HD) 1080p video. Easy to install, the camera is available in either a field-proven, outdoor pendant housing or an indoor, in-ceiling housing.

Functions

Exceptional low-light performance
The latest sensor technology combined with the sophisticated noise suppression results in an exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-light performance is so good that the camera continues to provide excellent color performance even with a minimum of ambient light.

High dynamic range
The dynamic range of the camera is outstanding and is obvious in real-world performance comparisons. In extended dynamic range mode, the camera uses an electronic shutter to capture four images with different exposure time and reproduce a high-contrast frame. The result is that you can view details in both the bright areas (highlights) and the dark areas (shadows) of a scene at the same time. You can easily distinguish objects and features (for example, faces) with bright backlight.

Snap to zoom
Drawing a box in the image will trigger the camera to zoom to the correct position.

Intelligent Video Analytics on the edge
With built-in video content analysis (VCA), the camera reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices become increasingly intelligent.
The camera comes with the state-of-the-art VCA method by Bosch, Intelligent Video Analytics, that reliably detects, and analyzes moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image.
With this method, the camera is able to detect idle and removed objects as well as loitering, multiple line crossing, and trajectories. This method also supports BEV (Bird's Eye View) People counting.

Video Analytics while camera is moving
Outside of pre-positions and even while the PTZ camera is moving, whether on guard tours or manually, the Intelligent Video Analytics application can detect and start alarms when objects are in alarm fields. These alarm fields are defined once across all PTZ camera views. The camera can automatically trigger an alarm if any part of a field within the camera's view becomes active while on a guard tour sweeping across the monitored areas.

Intelligent Tracking
The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics to follow an individual or an object continuously.
When Intelligent Video Analytics detects objects while the camera is in a stationary position, the camera activates the Intelligent Tracking feature. This feature controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to track the objects and keep them in view in the scene. The new Intelligent Tracking is based on robust flow detection algorithms which can reliably track moving objects even under challenging scenes.

Camera Trainer
Based on examples of target objects and non-target objects, the new Camera Trainer program uses machine learning to allow the user to define objects of interest and generate detectors for them. In contrast to the moving objects that the Intelligent Video Analytics application detects, the Camera Trainer program detects both moving and non-moving objects and classifies them immediately. Using Configuration Manager, you can configure the Camera Trainer program using both live video as well as recordings available through the respective camera. The resulting detectors can be downloaded and uploaded for distribution to other cameras.
