3 Camera reference
3.1 Introduction
NWC-0700, NWC-0800 and NWC-0900 are megapixel resolution
IP cameras capable of delivering crisp, low-noise images at a
video frame rate.
NWC-0700 is a 2-megapixel resolution camera having maximum
resolution of 1600 by 1200 and achieving a maximum frame
rate of 24.
NWC-0800 is a 3.1-megapixel resolution camera having maxi-
mum resolution of 2048 by 1536. It is typically viewed at 1920
by 1200 resolution with the frame rate up to 20.
NWC-0900 is a dual-sensor, day-night camera featuring a 3.1-
megapixel color sensor paired with a 1.3-megapixel mono-
chrome sensor sensitive to near infrared illumination. When the
scene is well illuminated, the 3.1-megapixel sensor is selected
to deliver color images of up to 2048x1536 pixels. To provide
seamless transition between day and night modes, the color
sensor is set to default resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. In low-
light conditions, NWC-0900 can automatically switch to the 1.3-
megapixel (1280x1024) monochrome sensor, enabling the
delivery of clear imagery at illumination levels as low as 0.01
lux. NWC-0900 typically delivers 20 fps in day mode and over
30 fps in night mode.
All cameras are equipped with LAN connector and can deliver
image data at a maximum data rate of up to 55 Mbps. Images
are sent over the network in a compressed Motion JPEG format
using TFTP protocol with the supplied software or using HTTP
protocol with DiBos8.
Power for all cameras can be supplied via DC jack (+9 V to
+12 V) or Power over Ethernet.
All cameras feature:
–Automaticexposure(AE)and Gain (AGC) control
– Automatic backlight compensation
– Automatic multi-matrix white balance
– 50/60 Hz selectable flicker control
– Electronic pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ)
!
CAUTION! Medium risk:
Never supply power via the Ethernet connection (PoE) when
power is already supplied via the power connector.

MegaPixel IP CamerasCamera reference | en 13
Bosch Security Systems User Manual F.01U.064.422 | V 1.0 | 2007.03
– Adjustable brightness, saturation, gamma, and sharpness
– Simultaneous delivery of full-field view and zoomed images
at video frame rate
– Electronic image rotation by 180 degrees
– On board motion detection
– Auto iris on NWC-0700 and NWC-0800
3.2 Connectors
NWC-0700, NWC-0800, and NWC-0900 have the following con-
nectors located on the rear side of the camera housing:
– LAN connector (100 Base-T). The LAN connector also
accepts power-over-Ethernet, 48V DC over spare wires or
over data pairs. The cameras are compliant with IEEE
802.saf. The polarity is arbitrary. For a list of recom-
mended PoE switches, see "Network Switch or Routers."
– Via DC jack, accepting 9V-12V (+/-10%) DC supply,
500 mA. The center contact in the power connector is pos-
itive.
– DC-iris connector. NWC-0900 does not support auto-iris so
does not have this connector.
3.3 Housing and mounting
All camera models feature durable aluminum housing. The
ambient temperature should be maintained between 0 ºC and
40 ºC. The cameras are not to be used outdoors without appro-
priate protective enclosures. When using outdoor an enclosure
with proper protection grade shall be used. The NWC-0900 has
two lenses and requires a 3" window to avoid shading; there is
no such limitation for the other two models.
Cameras are mounted using a ¼" x 20 threaded hole at the top
and bottom of the housing.
The cameras are to be installed according to the applicable
code. The mounting means should be adequate for mounting a
½ kg (1 lb) camera.
CAUTION!
When mounting the camera, make sure the screw that goes into
the hole is short in length, 6.35 mm (¼ inch) or less, and does
not touch the camera board.

F.01U.064.422 | V 1.0 | 2007.03 User Manual Bosch Security Systems
3.4 Network cabling
Category 5 cabling or better is recommended. All network
cabling must be installed according to applicable codes and
regulations.
3.5 Optics
The MegaPixel cameras should be used with a 1/2" or larger
optical format lens. The NWC-0900 requires two manual-iris
lenses and has a limitation on lens diameter (<38mm).
3.5.1 Using manual iris lenses
Choosing the lens correctly is very important for megapixel
cameras. A poorly selected lens may cause the image to appear
blurry when the lens iris is fully opened or closed too far. To
deliver sharp megapixel resolution images you should:
– Use megapixel-resolution lenses;
– Obtain best resolution and depth of focus by having the
iris slightly closed.
When setting up the camera, direct it at the scene and try clos-
ing the iris by several F-stops. At some point the image will look
its sharpest. Leave the iris closed at this value. In situations
where motion-blur can be expected, an iris value should be
selected that gives best balance of resolution, depth of focus,
and motion blur.
3.5.2 Auto-iris lenses
Standard DC auto-iris lenses can be used with the NWC-0700
and NWC-0800 cameras. Cable shall be minimum 20 mm or
longer.
3.5.3 Using auto-iris lenses
NWC-0700 and NWC-0800 are available with DC auto-iris
option. To use the DC auto-iris lens:
1. Attach the lens to the camera.
2. Plug the lens cable into the connector on the back of the
camera. Make sure that the lens cable is long enough.
Many DC lenses are available with short and long cable
options.
The camera will automatically detect the presence of an auto-
iris DC lens and start using it. Auto-iris lens operation typically
proceeds as follows:
– If illumination is sufficient, the camera will close the iris
within half-a-minute.

MegaPixel IP CamerasCamera reference | en 15
Bosch Security Systems User Manual F.01U.064.422 | V 1.0 | 2007.03
– When the iris is closed, the image should become visibly
sharper. As the iris is gradually closed, the image bright-
ness may fluctuate slightly.
Note: You can monitor the state of the iris in the Bosch Video
System "Settings" dialog. See Section 3.5.2 Auto-iris lenses for
details.
3.6 Accessing cameras
Cameras can be accessed and controlled by means of:
– Bosch Video System software
– HTTP requests issued from DiBos8 or Internet Explorer
3.6.1 Supported network services
NWC-0700, NWC-0800, and NWC-0900 implement video over
TFTP and HTTP network protocols. The HTTP protocol allows
direct access to the cameras using DiBos8 and through Internet
Explorer or other HTTP-based applications.
The Bosch Video System software utilizes TFTP protocol. TFTP
protocol yields the highest live viewing frame rate.
Only 100 Mbps/1 Gbps network switches should be used. Sim-
ple hubs do not segregate network segments, and should be
replaced in existing networks to be used with MegaPixel cam-
eras.

4.1.3 Camera installer
Camera Installer allows you to find all cameras that are present
on the local area network, assign IP addresses to the detected
cameras, and to verify that the cameras are accessible and
operational. Camera Installer saves information about installed
cameras into a dedicated file used by Video System. Camera
Installer supports two modes of operation - Basic and
Advanced.
– Basic mode - In this mode, Camera Installer detects all
cameras that are within range of the broadcast request (all
cameras within the network segment of the host PC) and
automatically assigns IP addresses to the cameras. It
