server. Its primary function is to encode video and control data
for transmission over an IP network. With its MPEG-4 encoding
it is bandwidth efficient for both network and recording. The
use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV sys-
tems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily.

18 en | Introduction FlexiDome IP
V 1.0 | 2006.12 Operating Instructions Bosch Security Systems
Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously
received on several receivers.
1.4.1 Wide dynamic range
The digital signal is automatically processed to optimally cap-
ture the detail in both the high and low light areas of the scene
simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the pic-
ture.
1.4.2 Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over-Ether-
net (IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection. With
this configuration, only a single cable connection is required to
view, power and control the camera.
1.4.3 Receiver
MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoders (for example VIP XD)
can be used as a receiver. Computers with decoding software
such as VIDOS or computers with the Microsoft Internet
Explorer web browser installed can also be used as receivers.
1.4.4 Video encoding
The camera uses the MPEG-4 compression standard. 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.
1.4.5 Tri Streaming
Tri Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded
simultaneously according to three different, individually cus-
tomized profiles. This creates two MPEG4 streams per camera
that can serve different purposes, for example, one for local
recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN, and
an additional JPEG stream for use with a PDA.
1.4.6 Recording
The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the
network to store long-term recordings.

FlexiDome IP Introduction | en 19
Bosch Security Systems Operating Instructions V 1.0 | 2006.12
1.4.7 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 protocols are
implemented on the network.
1.4.8 Encryption
The data transmissions and the authentication channel can be
encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. Web browser con-
nections can be protected using HTTPS.
1.4.9 Configuration
The camera can be configured using a browser on the local net-
work (Intranet) or from the Internet. Similarly, firmware
updates and rapid loading of device configurations are also pos-
sible. Configuration settings can be stored as files on a com-
puter and copied from one camera to another.
1.4.10 Tampering recognition and motion detectors
The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for
alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. An
algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also
part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to
include special video analysis algorithms.
1.4.11 Snapshots
Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG
images, stored on the hard drive or displayed in a separate
browser window.
1.4.12 Backup
The browser application Livepage has an icon for saving the
video images provided by the unit as a file on your computer's
hard drive. Clicking this icon stores the video sequences and
they can be replayed with the Player from
Bosch Security Systems included with the package.

1.4.13 Intelligent Video Motion Detection
The intelligent video motion detection (iVMD) system of the
camera uses advanced analysis algorithms with comprehensive
functions for the detection of motion.
