The AUTODOME IP starlight 5100i camera extends the camera range of the series to the next level. The camera has a 1/2-inch, 4MP sensor, which is specially tuned for applications that need surveillance in scenes with varying light levels. The camera has an integrated 20X optical zoom to identify people at a maximum distance of 168 meters (551 feet). The smart camera features Essential Video Analytics, which detects objects within, entering, or leaving an area or crossing a line and provides instant alerts. This feature lets operators react early and quickly to possible intrusions, and prevent damage of property or assets.Functions:Outstanding image quality:The 1/1.8-inch CMOS HD sensor combines outstanding sensitivity and sophisticated noise suppression with High dynamic range of 133dB. The camera provides superior low-light performance as well as outstanding image quality, with sharp focus details and excellent color reproduction even under challenging lighting conditions.Pre-programmed user modes:The camera has several pre-configured scene modes with the best settings for various applications. With one click, users can optimize image settings to match the camera's lighting conditions. Users can also configure individual image settings. Standard: For indoor fluorescent lighting. Sodium-lighting: For scenarios where the video is captured under sunlight in the day or under sodium vapor lamp at night. Vibrant: For enhanced contrast, sharpness, and saturation H.265 high-efficiency video encoding: The camera is designed on the most efficient and powerful H.264 and H.265/HEVC encoding platform. The camera is capable of delivering high-quality and high-resolution video with very low network load. With a doubling of encoding efficiency, H.265 is the compression standard of choice for IP video surveillance systems.Intelligent streaming: Smart encoding capabilities, together with Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction technology and analytics, make the bandwidth consumption drop to extremely low levels. Only relevant information in the scene, such as motion or objects found with the analytics, are encoded.Recording and storage management: Recording management can be controlled by the Bosch Video Recording Manager application, or the camera can use local storage and iSCSI targets directly without any recording software. A memory card with a maximum of 32 GB (microSDHC) / 2 TB (microSDXC) can be used for recording at the edge or for Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) technology to improve the overall recording reliability. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces bandwidth consumption on the network and extends the effective life of the memory card.
