Giving you a clearer view in the most difficult locations,
our Dinion 2X and FlexiDome 2X cameras bring the
highest level of image quality to your surveillance
applications.
Dinion 2X and FlexiDome 2X Day/Night images in all
conditions
Dinion 2X and FlexiDome 2X cameras are built on our
innovative Dinion 2X Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
technology. The Dinion 2X DSP works in combination
with our proprietary wide dynamic range (WDR) CCD
sensor to deliver the world’s first 20-bit image processing
for the CCTV market. Both our Dinion 2X and FlexiDome
2X solutions take advantage of this technology to provide
excellent low light and WDR performance in many
difficult lighting conditions, including day/night
applications.
DinionXF and FlexiDomeXF – color performance even
in difficult lighting
Reveal details conventional color cameras miss.
The DinionXF and FlexiDomeXF combine 15-bit digital
video processing with XF-Dynamic to deliver very good
picture performance in a range of color applications.

The flagship of the Dinion range, the 20-bit Dinion 2X
Day/Night camera gives you a powerful solution capable
of handling the most demanding lighting situations,
24 hours a day. Optimized for both natural and artificial
light, this flexible fixed-body camera ensures you always
get the best results, whatever your specific requirements.
Bosch 2X image processing is 32 times more powerful
than DinionXF‘s 15-bit capabilities!
Smart backlight compensation, 6 user-programmable
modes and a built-in test pattern generator offer easy,
out-of-the-box installation.
Better than the naked eye
Strong backlighting or high contrast scenes are
no problem for the camera’s wide dynamic range
performance, while low light situations are handled easily
by its highly sensitive CCD sensor. Fully automatic detail
enhancement analyzes the image pixel by pixel. In very
difficult lighting, the Dinion 2X produces images that
reveal details which cannot be seen by the human eye.
Dinion 2X advanced smart
surveillance camera
Revealing detail in the most extreme lighting
CCTV cameras are often used in harsh lighting, where
the difference between the brightest and the darkest
parts of a scene can be extreme. To help Dinion 2X
produce a clear picture in these conditions the camera’s
CCD sensor generates two images: one long exposure
to resolve details in the scene’s darkest areas, and one
short exposure to resolve details in the scene’s brightest
areas. The Dinion 2X DSP combines these ‘dual shutter’
images, mixing pixels from each exposure to produce
the most detailed image possible.
