This discreet, aesthetic camera mounts flush in a ceiling or wall. Its easily-painted cover plate blends in with almost all surroundings. The 12MP sensor operating at 30 fps provides full panoramic surveillance with complete area coverage, fine details and high speeds. The camera offers full situational awareness and simultaneous E-PTZ views in high resolution. Versions The 360° version of the camera, when mounted centrally on a ceiling, gives complete wall-to-wall coverage. The 180° version has a higher effective resolution and is ideal for wall mounting or for ceiling mounting in corridors.
Dewarping The lens captures a circular image. Our dewarping software transforms this circular image into several different distortion-free rectangular views. To facilitate system integration, you can choose edge dewarping inside the camera or client-side dewarping on an external platform. The freely available Video Security Client from Bosch provides advanced client-side dewarping features.
Advantages of panoramic surveillance Panoramic surveillance offers full 180° or 360° coverage of the designated area. Because our panoramic cameras cover the full area, they provide complete situational awareness and are ideally suited to following movement in one continuous sweep.
These panoramic cameras will considerably augment the functionality of any high-end surveillance system especially when coupled with Intelligent Video Analytics, for example, for people counting or complex rule-based alarm triggering. Intelligent Video Analytics continuously monitors the full image circle so you still receive alarms even if you are zoomed-in on a particular region.
Functions
12MP sensor at 30 fps The ultra high 12MP sensor resolution together with the exceptionally high frame rate of 30 fps makes this camera unique in the field of panoramic image capture. Motion is smoother and the E-PTZ feature provides more detailed images. The effective resolution for the 180° version is 8MP and for the 360° version 7MP.
Intelligent Video Analytics The camera uses the latest generation of the Bosch Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) software. IVA combined with full panoramic vision produces an extremely powerful surveillance tool which enriches full situational awareness. With intelligent tracking, movement can be followed continuously throughout the full image circle. There is no need to hand off tracking from one camera to another, greatly simplifying movement analysis. The system reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes objects, and alerts you when predefined alarms are triggered. A smart set of alarm rules makes complex tasks easy and reduces false alarms to a minimum. Intelligent Video Analytics also adds sense and structure to your video by adding metadata. Metadata is generated from the full image circle and also separately on the E-PTZ channel. This enables you to quickly retrieve the relevant images from hours of stored video. Metadata can also be used to deliver irrefutable forensic evidence or to optimize business processes based on people counting or crowd density information.
Client-side dewarping With client-side dewarping, the camera streams a single circular non-dewarped image at 30 fps. Dewarping is performed with our dewarping software that is installed on the PC where multiple view modes are available or you can choose to use a third-party client-side dewarping software solution.
