Camera Reference Guide
The camera is critical for every application Regardless of the quality or capability of the CCTV system you use, the quality of the image you view depends heavily on the quality of the camera. The Bosch camera range offers outstanding performance in every class — from the stylish indoor FlexiDomes to very high performance Dinion 2X cameras for the most demanding situations. Introducing Dinion and FlexiDome 2X Dinion 2X and FlexiDome 2X cameras are built on our innovative Dinion 2X Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology. The Dinion 2X DSP works in combination with our proprietary wide dynamic range (WDR) CCD sensor to deliver the world’s first 20-bit image processing for the CCTV market. Both our Dinion 2X and FlexiDome 2X solutions take advantage of this technology to provide excellent low light and WDR performance in many difficult lighting conditions, including day/night applications. Whatever your application, there’s a Bosch camera to match it To help you make the best choice from the Bosch range of cameras, this guide summarizes the features and benefits, and gives clear reasons for choosing each family for virtually all applications you may encounter. Selection tables are shown on pages 4-9. Committed to quality Bosch is a major player in security and observation systems, so you can be confident that the cameras are made to the highest quality standards. The three-year warranty and a free advance exchange program ensure that if problems do occur, a solution is quickly found. Save time and money with Bilinx Bilinx is the newest CCTV technology innovation from Bosch.

FlexiDome I & II cameras
Compact fixed cameras in a stylish dome. Excellent picture clarity with true color reproduction. Lightly-tinted dome masks camera with minimum light loss. Choice of integral standard or wide-angled lenses. Easy mounting on ceiling or wall. Why select FlexiDome cameras? • Performance — Regardless of lighting conditions, FlexiDomes provide unmatched picture clarity. Optimum contrast and color reproduction are achieved with an advanced digital signal processor (DSP), which includes backlight compensation for optimum contrast, a wide dynamic range and other image enhancing features. • Active deterrent — The presence of the dome "announces" active surveillance (as deterrent), but the camera itself is hidden behind a lightly tinted dome. The camera can be discreetly pointed towards sensitive areas without being visible to potential offenders. • Stylish innovation — The combination of stylish design, advanced camera technology and ease of installation provides the optimum surveillance solution for a wide range of indoor security monitoring applications.
10
Camera Reference Guide
When should you use FlexiDome cameras? • Indoor applications. • Standard lighting situations. • Where the viewing direction needs to be concealed. • Where discrete observation is desirable. Typical applications Entrances lobbies and reception areas, cash desks and checkouts.

Bilinx bi-directional communication technology
Control AutoDome PTZ including pre-positions. Adjust camera and dome configuration settings. Cut and paste settings to multiple cameras remotely. Receive alarm signals and motion detection. Lower installation costs. Plug and play — no need to address each camera. Upgrade existing single cable installations easily. Update camera firmware. Remote programming — the convenience of Bilinx Bilinx is the newest CCTV technology innovation from Bosch. This bi-directional communication capability is embedded in the video signal of Bosch Dinion cameras. With Bilinx, technicians can check status, change camera settings of analogue Bosch Dinion cameras and even update firmware from virtually anywhere along the video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time, provides for more accurate set-up and adjustment, and improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses the standard video cable to transmit alarm and status messages, providing superior performance without additional installation steps.
