The Bosch NDN-50051-V3 FLEXIDOME IP Outdoor 5000 5MP Day/Night Vandal-Resistant Dome Camera with 3-10mm Varifocal Lens is a professional surveillance camera that provides high-quality 5MP images for demanding security and surveillance network requirements. This robust dome is a true day/night camera offering remarkable performance day or night.
The camera utilizes intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR) which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly. Low-noise image and efficient H.264 compression technology provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage. The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology for vivid daytime color and remarkable night-time imaging while maintaining sharp focus under virtually all lighting conditions.
Developed for outdoor use, the IK10-rated design is suitable for installations where vandal resistance is important. The camera is protected against water and dust to IP66 (NEMA Type 4X) standards. The 3 to 10mm varifocal lens allows you to choose the coverage area to best suit your application. The multi-streaming feature delivers various H.264 streams together with an MJPEG stream for complete and efficient situational awareness.iDNR Technology
The camera uses intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR), which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly. Low-noise image and efficient H.264 compression technology provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage. This results in reduced bandwidth streams that still retain a high image quality and smooth motion. The camera provides the most usable image possible by cleverly optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio. Area-based encoding is another feature which reduces bandwidth. Compression parameters for up to eight user-definable regions can be set. This allows uninteresting regions to be highly compressed, leaving more bandwidth for important parts of the scene.
Vandal-Resistant Outdoor Dome with Varifocal Lens
Developed for outdoor use, the IK10-rated design is suitable for installations where vandal resistance is important. The camera is protected against water and dust to IP66 (NEMA Type 4X) standards. The 3 to 10mm varifocal lens allows you to choose the coverage area to best suit your application. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, and suspended-ceiling mounting (mounting accessories sold separately).
5MP Resolution with Multiple Streams
The camera captures images in 5MP resolution at 12 images per second (ips). The innovative multi-streaming feature delivers various H.264 streams together with an M-JPEG stream. These streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording as well as integration with 3rd party video management systems.
Regions of Interest and E-PTZ
Regions of Interest (ROI) can be user defined. The remote E-PTZ (Electronic Pan, Tilt, and Zoom) controls allow you to select specific areas of the parent image. These regions produce separate streams for remote viewing and recording. These streams, together with the main stream, allow the operator to separately monitor the most interesting part of a scene while still retaining situational awareness.
Supports 2-Way Audio and Audio Alarm
Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate with visitors or intruders via an external audio line input and output. Audio detection can be used to generate an alarm if needed.
Tamper and Motion Detection
A wide range of configuration options are available for alarms signaling camera tampering. A built-in algorithm for detecting movement in the video can also be used for alarm signaling.
Edge Recording
The internal microSD card slot supports up to 2TB of storage capacity. A microSD card can be used for local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network; however, if microSD card recording is used, it extends the effective life of the storage medium.
Cloud-Based Services
The camera supports time-based or alarm-based JPEG posting to 4 different accounts. These accounts can address FTP servers or cloud-based storage facilities
(for example, Dropbox). Video clips or JPEG images can also be exported to these accounts. Alarms can be set up to trigger an e-mail or SMS notification so you are always aware of abnormal events.
Easy Installation
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. Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost-effective, as the camera does not require a local power source. The camera can also be supplied with power from +12VDC power supplies. To increase system reliability, the camera can be simultaneously connected to both PoE and +12VDC supplies. Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can be used, which will allow continuous operation, even during power failure. For trouble-free network cabling, the cameras support Auto-MDIX.
True Day/Night Switching
The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology for vivid daytime color and remarkable night-time imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all lighting conditions.
Access Security
Password protection with three levels and 802.1x authentication is supported. To secure Web browser access, use HTTPS with an SSL certificate stored in the camera. The video and audio communication channels can be independently AES encrypted with 128-bit keys by installing the optional encryption site license (not included).
Complete Viewing Software
There are many ways to access the camera's features: using a Web browser, with the Bosch Video Management System, with the Bosch Recording System, with the free-of-charge Bosch Video Client, or with the video security mobile App. The Bosch Video Client PC surveillance software offers a user-friendly interface to support easy installation and configuration. It also provides easy live viewing of multiple cameras, playback, forensic search, and export.
Video Security App
The Bosch video security mobile App has been developed to enable anywhere access to HD surveillance images, allowing you to view live images from virtually any location. The App is designed to give you complete control of all your cameras, from panning and tilting to zoom and focus functions. This App, together with the separately available Bosch transcoder, will allow you to fully utilize dynamic transcoding features so you can play back images even over low-bandwidth connections.
System Integration
The camera works seamlessly with a wide range of security software and recording solutions from Bosch and other industry providers. Through ONVIF conformance, the open availability of Bosch video software development kits and a team dedicated to special integration and support projects, it is easy to manage Bosch video products within your system design.
