The Bosch NPC-20012-F2 IP microBox 2000 Day/Night 720p Indoor IP Camera is a ready-to-use, complete network video surveillance system inside a compact and stylish housing. It features a 1/4” CMOS sensor for capturing videos in 1280 x 720 resolution at 30 fps.The compact and aesthetic design is suitable for installations where housing size and appearance are important.
The camera utilizes intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR) which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly. The low-noise image and the efficient H.264 compression technology provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. The camera features electronic day/night functionality that allows it to switch from color to B/W mode depending on the scene illumination.
The camera features a built-in microphone and loudspeaker that allows remote users to listen in on an area and communicate messages to visitors or intruders via the loudspeaker.
iDNR Technology
The camera uses intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR) which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly. The low-noise image and efficient H.264 compression technology provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. 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.
Compact and Stylish Design
Developed for indoor use, the compact aesthetic design is suitable for installations where housing size and appearance are important. The camera is supplied with a versatile mounting bracket, allowing it to be easily positioned for optimum coverage.
720p Resolution with Multiple Streams
The camera captures images on 720p resolution at 30 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.
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. The microSD card (not included) can be used for local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network, or, if microSD card recording is used, extends the effective life of the storage medium.
Built-In Microphone, Two-Way Audio and Audio Alarm
The camera features a built-in microphone and loudspeaker that allows remote users to listen in on an area and communicate messages to visitors or intruders via the loudspeaker. Audio detection can be used to generate an alarm if needed.
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
The power supply adapter delivered with the camera provides the 5VDC power supply required. Additionally, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can be used, which will allow continuous operation, even during a power failure. For trouble-free network cabling, the camera supports Auto-MDIX.
Access Security
Password protection with three levels and 802.1x authentication is supported. To secure Web browser access, use HTTPS with the 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.
Complete Viewing Software
There are many ways to access the camera's features: using a Web browser, with the supplied 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.
