Built for mission-critical applications, this outdoor-rated dome camera delivers next-generation surveillance even in difficult and low lighting conditions. Choose from 2MP, 4MP and 8MP variants for crisp and detailed video up to 4K UHD resolution. The varifocal P-Iris lens offers a customisable viewing angle of up to 110°, with the tele lens offers 36° - 12°. Starlight X technology and HDR X enables rich, full-colour images in near to pitch darkness. Capture smooth video free from vibrations at long distances with built-in electronic image stabilisation.
The robust housing is IP67- and IK11-rated for effective protection against vandalism and harsh weather conditions. Integrate external alarms via I/O to activate upon detection of tampering, network disconnection, or user-defined alerts setup through the IVA Pro Buildings video analytics. On-camera recording is enabled via a microSD card (sold separately) with capacity up to 2TB. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the motorised PTRZ controls allowing the viewing angle to be configured remotely during setup.
Video Analytics
Featuring IVA Pro Buildings and IVA Pro Perimeter analytics, these preinstalled applications are optimised to improve security and operational efficiency in and around buildings and across perimeters. Using AI-driven algorithms, it can accurately detect and classify objects such as people or vehicles, improving IVA reliability and ignoring false alarm triggers including falling leaves and shadows. Configure alarm rules to meet your surveillance requirements and run scenarios such as virtual line crossing, loitering warning and route traversal. Gather statistical data of counted objects within specified areas and those crossing user-defined virtual lines to aid business performance and efficiency. Review footage quickly and efficiently with AI Forensic Search.
The device also supports additional Bosch analytics applications with the purchase of additional licence keys.
