Bosch starlight cameras deliver the highest quality of relevant video surveillance,
even in extremely low light conditions. From October, the starlight portfolio will be
even further enhanced with improved light sensitivity, superb front and backlight
compensation; higher frames rates as well as a wider choice of resolutions and
form factors. Another compelling enrichment is that all Bosch IP 6000, 7000 and
8000 starlight cameras will feature Bosch video analytics at the edge as standard,
instead of an optional feature requiring no additional investment or license fees
from the customer.
Bosch feels that the offering of video analytics at the edge as standard is now a
necessity to cater to the ever-increasing demand for details and the proliferation of
cameras. Bosch video analytics adds sense and structure to video data already at
the point of capture (at the edge), enabling users to effortlessly search through
large amounts of video data and to pinpoint the information that matters most to
them. In this way users can take appropriate action faster, easier and more
efficiently. It also enables them to reduce network strain and storage requirements
by streaming only the data needed.
The complete IP starlight camera portfolio from Bosch offers a wider selection of
resolutions (720p, 1080p, 5 megapixel) and form factors including fixed box, fixed
dome or moving dome cameras; as well as extremely rugged moving cameras for
when conditions get tough. The starlight portfolio also offers higher dynamic ranges
of up to 120 dB for perfect exposure in all lighting conditions regardless of front and
backlight, as well as frame rates of up to 60 frames per second to easily capture
fast moving objects.
In addition, the latest sensor technology, combined with sophisticated noise
suppression, results in a light sensitivity of 0.0069 lux in colour and 0.0008 lux in
monochrome for the 1080p models. This enables starlight cameras to produce full
colour images in the dark beyond the point where other cameras have switched to
monochrome. Where other cameras fail to show any image at all, starlight cameras
are still capable of delivering detailed monochrome images.
Essential Video Analytics offers 15 different video analytics algorithms that can be
used for advanced intrusion detection and enforcing health and safety regulations. It
also possesses business analytics capabilities, such as people counting and crowd
density information for retail environments.
Intelligent Video Analytics is specifically designed for the most demanding
environments. It has the added capacity to deliver the highest level of accuracy for
mission critical applications such as perimeter protection for airports and critical
infrastructures, ship tracking and traffic monitoring. Intelligent Video Analytics
offers 17 different video analytics algorithms and can do everything that Essential
Video Analytics does. What makes Intelligent Video Analytics stand out is its ability
to differentiate between genuine security events and known false triggers such as
challenging environments where snow, wind, rain, water reflections and distance
could make images even more difficult to interpret. Thus minimizing costly false
positives and enabling users to focus on what is relevant to them.
