Bosch introduced the Dinion HD and FlexiDome HD 720p Day/Night IP cameras, among the first products to be released as part of the new Bosch HD (High Definition) range. Equipped with Boschโs latest 1/3-inch HD CCD with progressive scan, the cameras deliver HD images.
Pixel-by-pixel image processing generates the company says the most detailed images, making it easier it’s claimed for operators to distinguish small features โ important when trying to recognise facial characteristics, identify small objects or make out items such as number plates. Also, being true HD, images are reproduced in widescreen format which captures more usable content from any scene.
The Dinion HD 720p Day/Night IP cameras offer customers a conventional box camera, while the FlexiDome HD 720p Day/Night IP cameras provide a dome option. They all feature digital video processing. SmartBLC automatically compensates for backlighting, while SensUp Dynamic significantly enhances sensitivity in low light such as moonlight.
iSCSI storage is supported, and video storage costs are minimised via the Bosch H.264 compression, which saves up to 30 percent storage compared to MPEG-4 without sacrificing image quality it’s claimed. Quad Streaming enables simultaneous streaming of three H.264 video streams and a JPEG stream, giving more flexibility for third-party software integration. The cameras also support multicasting and internet streaming.
Standard video content analysis features are included, such as built-in MOTION+ video motion analysis system. Also, hardware-enhanced versions of the cameras enable Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) functionality using multi-level image analysis of pixels, texture and object direction.
Fully Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) conformant, the Dinion HD and FlexiDome HD cameras integrate with third-party security solutions. Intuitive software also allows them to be combined with standard definition appliances in the same system.
