Two new Dinion IP cameras from Bosch
Grasbrunn, Germany
As regards audio capabilities, the built-in microphone and two-way audio functionality turn these Dinion IP cameras into even more effective security tools, as the operator or security guard can not only listen to but also question intruders or communicate with visitors who appear to be in need of assistance. Easy installation and configuration are guaranteed by the cameras’ Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality, as well as due to the preconfigured user modes. For retail applications in particular, the cameras come with a direct monitor output, enabling a confrontation monitor to be directly connected to the camera. It is therefore ideal for entrances and other situations where people need to be made aware of the presence of video surveillance.
Nowadays, customers demand smooth and instant access to high definition video from any location and at any time. Bosch believes it has responded to this need by offering its Dynamic Transcoding technology. By constantly measuring the available bandwidth and automatically adjusting the bit rate of the camera, this patented technology enables smooth live video streaming, regardless of the available bandwidth, as well as full-HD details when playback is paused anywhere and anytime. Thus, image quality and detail are maintained while suspicious events are easily and quickly detected. This Dynamic Transcoding technology can be fully exploited in combination with the new Dinion IP 4000 and 5000 cameras by simply adding one of the Bosch Divar IP recording solutions or a Bosch Videojet to the total Bosch video surveillance solution.
“The two new Dinion IP HD cameras are the logical solution for small and medium-sized enterprises where both professional security and appearance matter," explains Derek Lin, Product Manager Video Systems at Bosch. “Their aesthetic design makes them ideal for seamless and discrete indoor installation, offering maximum security for people and property while simultaneously respecting the building’s architecture. They demonstrate that high performance and aesthetic design can be made affordable for everyday video surveillance applications."
