The DINION capture 5000 License Plate IP Camera (NTSC) from Bosch captures detailed and reliable images of vehicle license plates, and is ideal for use in parking lots, public places, and freeways. The camera's DINION 2X technology, along with the 20-bit digital signal processing, helps this IP camera achieve great clarity levels by exposing the tiniest details in the captured images. With its ability to record images of vehicles moving as fast as 140 mph (225 kmph), this camera proves highly efficient for monitoring and enforcing speed limits on freeways.
With a 1/3” wide dynamic range CCD sensor at its heart, this license plate camera records footage at a resolution of 704 x 480 (4CIF) at 30 ips. The 5 to 50mm varifocal lens of this IP camera is pre-calibrated to provide a surveillance range of 26 to 45' (7.9 to 13.7 m) and delivers optimum images at 33.5' (10.2 m).
In bright lighting situations, this IP camera makes use of Advanced Ambient Compensation, which automatically adjusts the exposure and prevents photos from being washed out. This feature is especially useful in situations when the source of light is behind the camera or when the headlight glare of an oncoming car is affecting the image quality. At night, the Night Capture Imaging system illuminates the license plate with a burst of infrared light from the pulsed LED array (850 nm). As the visible light is filtered, a clear IR-illuminated image of the license plate is obtained. Automatic Mode Switching in this Bosch camera features 6 programmable modes that help the camera easily adapt to changes in ambient light in the surveillance area, thus guaranteeing reliable 24-7 monitoring.
All the recorded video is compressed using H.264 technology, allowing for optimal usage of the available bandwidth and storage space. Simultaneous quad-streaming is possible on 2 H.264 streams, an I-frame recording stream, and an M-JPEG stream. You can also choose to store the recorded footage in the camera itself via the microSD card slot.
The weather-sealed IP67-rated aluminum housing of this Bosch surveillance camera keeps dust and water at bay. This means you can mount the camera outdoors, without having to worry the internal and external components getting corroded.
