Bosch Building Technologies has launched the Flexidome 8100i motorised pan-tilt-roll-zoom (PTRZ) camera, combining powerful edge-based AI, image quality, and convenient remote commissioning to address critical use cases.
Building upon the proven Flexidome Starlight 8000i series, this next-generation of fixed dome cameras provides system integrators with a powerful tool to address the evolving security needs of airports, government facilities, schools, and other organisations with critical security needs.
The Flexidome 8100i offers reliable, high-quality video data for informed decision-making, thanks to edge-based AI video analytics, significantly improving security and operational efficiency across various applications. The uses include detecting personal protective equipment, safeguarding privacy, gathering details about an individual’s physical characteristics for forensic searches, and even recognising potential threats like firearms, among other critical applications.
The camera promises to excel in daylight and challenging nighttime conditions and to offer great image quality. In addition to the camera’s AI and imaging capabilities, features such as smart installation, compliance with government regulations, and data security distinguish it as a solid fixed dome camera for mission-critical surveillance needs.
The camera’s edge-based AI, Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro), is offered with over 95% accuracy for object detection, classification, and counting, enabling real-time safety and security enhancements with increased efficiency. Pre-installed IVA Pro software licenses for Buildings, Perimeter, and Privacy offer tailored solutions for diverse environments.
The camera’s performance can be enhanced further with one of many IVA Pro software licenses. The versatility of IVA Pro enables users to optimise the camera’s functionality and maximize its potential for their security system, with IVA Pro Appearance, IVA Pro Traffic, IVA Pro PPE, and IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection.
Streamlined installation and remote commissioning can reduce setup time by up to 75% compared to traditional cameras. AI-powered autocalibration for video analytics further optimises efficiency, potentially saving an additional 20% of calibration time.
Starlight X captures colour details in low light, while HDR X promises to record high-quality video regardless of object movement, ensuring exceptional image quality in challenging scenes. Intelligent split IR with individually controllable LEDs provides clear images in complete darkness.
The new camera is engineered for maximum reliability in challenging environments. It is rated IP66/IP67 and IP6K9K for protection against water and dust, IK11 for vandal resistance, and has enhanced corrosion protection ensuring continuous operation.
Bosch prioritises sensitive information protection, achieving critical cyber security certifications including IEC 62443-4-1 and UL 2900-2-3 Level 3. Secure Element with Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) functionality supports a 4096-bit key length, allowing for future-proof security.
Government needs are constantly evolving. The Flexidome 8100i cameras comply with the US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 889 for Fiscal Year 2019 and the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). This compliance is offered to ensure consistency with reliability standards and adherence to trade regulations.
