AM18-Q0615 | v1.0 | 2012.10 Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems
3 System Information
3.1 Overview of functions
The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary
function is to encode video and control data for transmission
over an IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited
for IP communication and for remote access to digital video
recorders and IP systems. The use of existing networks means
that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be
achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera
can be simultaneously received on several receivers.
3.1.1 Progressive scan
The camera captures and processes progressively scanned
images. When there is fast motion in a scene, progressively
scanned images are generally sharper than interlaced images.
3.1.2 True Day/Night function
In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing by
switching the IR (infrared) filter out of the optical path and
providing a monochrome image. The camera can switch from
color to monochrome mode automatically by sensing the
illumination level, manually via the alarm input, or remotely via a
web browser.
3.1.3 Multiple streams
Multiple streams enable the camera to deliver several H.264
streams together with an M-JPEG stream. These streams
facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording options as
well as integration with third-party video management systems.
3.1.4 ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
The camera complies to the ONVIF standard which means that
it is easier to install and integrate into larger systems. The
ONVIF standard is a global standard for the interface of network
video products.

FLEXIDOME HD System Information | en 15
Bosch Security Systems Installation Manual AM18-Q0615 | v1.0 | 2012.10
3.1.5 Audio
Two-way duplex audio is available in the unit for live voice
communications or audio recording.
3.1.6 Alarm I/O
The alarm input can be used to control the functionality of the
unit. An alarm output can control external devices.
3.1.7 Tamper detection and motion detection
The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for
alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. A
Motion+ algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is
included.
3.1.8 Video encoding
The camera uses the H.264 compression standards. Thanks to
efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high
image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions
within wide limits.
3.1.9 Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables
simultaneous, real time transmission to multiple receivers. The
prerequisite for this is that the UDP and IGMP V2/V3 protocols
are implemented on the network.
3.1.10 Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over-
Ethernet compliant network cable connection. With this
configuration, only a single cable connection is required to
view, power, and control the camera.
3.1.11 Encryption
The unit offers a variety of options for protection against
unauthorized reading. Web browser connections can be
protected using HTTPS. Protect the control channels via the
SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user
data itself can be encrypted.

AM18-Q0615 | v1.0 | 2012.10 Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems
3.1.12 Recording
The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the
network to store long-term recordings, and with a local
microSD card for shorter storage times and temporary
recordings.
3.1.13 Configuration
The camera can be configured using a browser on the local
network (Intranet) or from the Internet. Similarly, firmware
updates and rapid loading of device configurations are also
possible. Configuration settings can be stored as files on a
computer and copied from one camera to another.

FLEXIDOME HD System Information | en 17
Bosch Security Systems Installation Manual AM18-Q0615 | v1.0 | 2012.10
3.2 Operation with external systems
The camera can be used with a variety of Bosch systems:
– Bosch Video Management System
– Bosch Video Client
– Bosch Recording Station
When connected to any of these systems, many of the camera
configuration parameters are controlled by the system and not
by the settings made via a web browser.
Bosch Video Management System
The Bosch Video Management System is a unique enterprise IP
video surveillance solution that provides seamless management
of digital video, audio, and data across any IP network. It is
designed to work with Bosch CCTV products as part of a total
video surveillance management system.
Bosch Video Client
The camera video server and the Bosch Video Client software
combine to provide a high-performance system solution. The
Bosch Video Client is a Windows application for viewing,
operating, controlling, and administering CCTV installations
(such as surveillance systems) at remote locations.
Bosch Recording Station
The camera is also designed for use with the Bosch Recording
Station. The Bosch Recording Station can record up to 64 video
and audio streams. The Bosch Recording Station supports
various functions of the camera, such as controlling relays,
remote control of peripheral devices, and remote configuration.
It can use alarm inputs to trigger actions and, when motion
detection Motion+ is active, can record the relevant cells,
making intelligent motion detection possible.
