The Bosch NDN-498V09-21PS FlexiDome2X Day/Night IP Camera is a vandal-resistant, network dome camera suitable for day & night operation, and features a varifocal lens. With a 1/3" progressive scan CCD, the camera unit produces motion blur-free video in daylight whereas the 9-22mm zoom lens takes care of varied area of coverage. 20-bit digital signal and image processing augments this CCTV camera's ability by revealing details in video image.

While the NDN-498V09-21PS camera switches automatically from day-mode to night mode and vice versa, its NightSense feature in conjunction with SensUp dynamic enables moonlight-viewing (up to 0.0099 lux in monochrome) by increasing the sensitivity of the IP camera. On the other hand, the 2X-Dynamic Engine produces images with high dynamic range from high-contrast daylight visuals. In tricky backlit situations, the network camera's SmartBLC feature compensates for strong back light in order to reproduce a clear view of subject in the foreground. Autoblack feature helps to look through low-contrast scenes due to foggy or smoky weather.

IP 66 (NEMA-4X) standard water resistance makes the NDN-498V09-21PS camera ideal for outdoor use while the unit's cast aluminum casing, polycarbonate dome and hardened inner liner withstand up to the equivalent of 120 lb (55kg) force, making it suitable for security surveillance. Six pre-programmed operating modes are available for individual situations, and the modes are fully programmable. Private Masking feature of the NDN-498V09-21PS allows masking/blocking of four different privacy zones or specific parts of a scene which can be pre-programmed by the users.

The NDN-498V09-21PS camera can simultaneously output two H.264 video streams along with one M-JPEG stream onto a network. The latter stream can further be integrated with third-party JPEG or M-JPEG-compatible video management systems. Captured video content can be accessed in a variety of ways such as using a web browser on a PC, with VIDOS or Bosch Video Management Systems (BVMS), or with Bosch's DiBos Digital Video Recorder.

Basic video content analysis features are integrated into the camera via the Motion+ video analysis system that incorporates a motion analysis algorithm which provides object size filtering and advanced tamper detection capabilities.

Three power options - PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), 24 VAC, and 12 VDC increase its flexibility, and a UPS can also be used for continuous operation even during a power failure. The NDN-498V09-21PS can be configured either over IP or by using on-body control buttons. When a new firmware becomes available, the FlexiDome camera can be remotely upgraded without a need to uninstall it physically. The NDN-498V09-21PS conforms to the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) specification for smooth interoperability between network video products. Among other notable features are built-in video motion detection, full support for iSCSI recording and internet streaming, and surface mounting option.

Progressive scan
To capture sharp images, even in busy scenes with high
motion content, the Dinion camera uses progressive scan
technology.
Superior image quality
With a 1/3-inch CCD and Bosch’s advanced digital signal
processing, the FlexiDome2X Day/Night IP camera
provides outstanding image quality in virtually all
situations. The highly accurate 20-bit digital signal is
automatically processed to reveal every detail of the
image in both the high and low-light areas of the scene
simultaneously.
20-bit Image Processing
The highly accurate digital signal processing optimally
captures the detail in both bright highlights and deep
shadows simultaneously. By combining 20-bit image
processing and wide dynamic range, the FlexiDome2X
maximizes the information visible in the picture even with
strong backlight.
Wide Dynamic Range
The superior wide dynamic range performance for all
lighting conditions reveals details previously unseen.
2X-Dynamic and SmartBLC
Using 2X-Dynamic technology, pixel-by-pixel analysis
provides the user with the most detailed information. Turn
on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the image
without the need for complicated set-up or without
compromising dynamic range. Features such as Autoblack
and Sharpness further improve the details in a scene,
pixel by pixel
Programmable Modes
Six independent, pre-programmed operating modes
support typical applications, but are fully programmable
for individual situations.
Day/Night switching
In night mode, the camera enhances low light viewing by
switching the IR (infrared) filter out of the optical path
and providing a monochrome image. The camera can
switch from color to monochrome mode automatically by
sensing the illumination level, manually via the alarm
input, or remotely via a web browser. An internal, throughthe-
lens IR detector enhances monochrome mode stability
by preventing the camera from returning to color mode
when IR-illumination is dominant.
Privacy masking
Four different privacy zones allow specific parts of a
scene to be blocked. A mask for any part of the scene can
be pre-programmed.
Default Shutter
The default shutter speed captures fast moving objects
when sufficient light is available. When light levels fall and
other adjustments have been exhausted, the shutter
speed reverts to a standard setting to maintain sensitivity.
SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on the
CCD, the effective sensitivity is dramatically enhanced.
This is especially useful when relying only on moonlight
for illumination.
Efficient bandwidth and storage management
The cameras use H.264 compression, bandwidth
throttling, and multicasting capabilities to manage
bandwidth and storage requirements efficiently, while
delivering high image quality and resolution.
The bandwidth of an H.264 stream using Main profile at
4CIF resolution is about the same as one MPEG-4 stream
at 2CIF resolution.
Bosch's innovative quad-streaming feature enables
FlexiDome2X IP cameras to generate two independent H.
264 streams, an I-frame recording stream, and an M-JPEG
stream simultaneously. This allows streaming of highquality
H.264 images for live viewing and recording while
streaming M-JPEG images to another device at the same
time. The M-JPEG video stream also provides easy
integration with third-party JPEG or M-JPEG-compatible
video management systems.
FlexiDome2X IP cameras offer unparalleled recording
options. Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI
targets directly without any additional recording software.
The recording capabilities of the system can be further
enhanced by using the Bosch Video Recording Manager.
The camera also supports local recording on a microSD
card. This can be used for local alarm recording or for
Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) to improve the
overall reliability of video recording.
Standard intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, the camera reinforces
the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices
become increasingly intelligent. The MOTION+ video
motion analysis system, that is built into all camera
versions, is the perfect solution for applications where
basic video content analysis features are required. This
motion analysis algorithm is based on pixel change and
includes object size filtering capabilities and sophisticated
tamper-detection capabilities.
Hardware enhanced
The hardware-enhanced version of the camera gives you
the opportunity to upgrade the video content analysis
features of the camera with the more advanced Intelligent
Video Analysis (IVA) option. This option bases the IVA
algorithm on digital imaging technology that uses multilevel
image analysis of pixels, texture, and object
direction, and is activated by installing a license.
ONVIF conformance
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video
Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. ONVIF conformant devices are
able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and control
information. They are automatically discovered and
connected to network applications such as video
management systems.
Tough design
The cast-aluminum housing, polycarbonate dome, and
hardened inner liner can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg
(120 lbs) of force. The enclosure contains the full-featured
camera and integral varifocal lens. Ideal for outdoor use,
the cameras are protected against water and dust to IP 66
(NEMA‑4X) standards. The camera enclosure provides the
extra protection necessary for applications such as
schools, banks, prisons, parking garages, retail and
industrial buildings.
Installation is quick and easy, as the camera comes
completely assembled and ready to use. Using the
proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can
select the exact field of view. Mounting options are
numerous, including surface, wall, corner and suspended
ceiling. The compact, sleek design and virtually flushmount
appearance complements any decor.
Unsurpassed flexibility
There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on a
PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, or with the Bosch Video Client. The
camera is also ideal for use with a Divar 700 Series digital
video recorder. By routing a video stream to a Bosch video
decoder, you can also present the video with ultimate
clarity on an analog monitor.
Cost effective, simple installation
Three power options, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), 24 VAC
and 12 VDC are available. Using PoE makes installation
easier and more cost-effective, as cameras do not require
a local power source. To increase system reliability, the
camera can be simultaneously connected to both PoE and
12 VDC/24 VAC supplies. Additionally, uninterruptible
power supplies (UPS) can be used, which will allow
continuous operation, even during a power failure.
For trouble free network cabling, the cameras support
Auto-MDIX.
FlexiDome2X IP cameras have a service mode for easy
installation using the control buttons and an analog video
output on the camera as an alternative to configuration
over IP. The service mode is simply activated by pressing
a button on the camera. This routes the video to the
analog output, bypassing the IP video output. The On-
Screen Display (OSD) simplifies back focus adjustment
and network configuration, minimizing installation and
support costs. The Lens Wizard automatically detects the
lens type and helps focus the lens at the maximum
opening to maintain proper focus.
Easy Upgrade
Remotely upgrade the camera whenever new firmware
becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products, thus
protecting investment with little effort.
Access Security
Various security levels are available for accessing the
network, the camera, and the data channels. As well as
password protection with three levels, 802.1x
authentication using a RADIUS is supported. To secure
Web browser access use HTTPS with a SSL certificate
stored in the camera. For total data protection, the video
and audio communication channels can be independently
AES encrypted with 128‑bit keys by installing the optional
Encryption Site License.
