Bosch NDP-4502-Z12 Autodome (PTZ)

Indoor PTZ camera from Bosch that can be controlled and detects people and cars

A small, discreet PTZ camera that is ideal for warehouses and larger indoor areas where you want a camera that can patrol automatically.

Built-in intelligent video analytics

The camera has a smart feature called "Intelligent Video Analytics" (IVA). This means that the camera can analyze what it sees and automatically detect certain things, such as people, cars or other objects. When the camera detects something important, it can immediately send an alarm or message directly to you. This is a feature that provides peace of mind because the camera can keep an eye on whether someone is coming and inform you immediately.

• Detect important objects : The camera can automatically recognize and track various things, such as people and cars. This means it can notify you if something unexpected happens, such as someone moving into a certain area.
• Respond to events : If the camera sees something unusual, like someone staying too long in one place or crossing a line you've drawn, it can send an alarm message.
• Automatic adjustment : The camera has a built-in sensor that helps it adjust itself completely automatically. This means that it will always set the image correctly, so you don't have to calibrate the camera yourself.
• Custom settings : You can set the camera to detect specific things that are important to you. For example, it can be set to recognize certain types of cars or people with certain characteristics.
• High precision : The camera detects very well, which reduces the risk of false alarms triggered by wind, rain, or other movements that could otherwise trigger a false alarm.

Data protection and security

• Multiple layers of security : The camera has multiple levels of protection that work together to ensure that data and the camera itself are safe from attack and unauthorized access.
  
• Access Protection : There are three levels of access protection that ensure that only authorized people can change settings or view recordings. It's like having multiple locks on a door - only the right keys can open them.
  
• Encrypted data transport : When data is sent from the camera to a computer or server, it is encrypted. This means that the information is converted into a secret code that can only be read by those who have the correct encryption key. This protects the data from being intercepted by hackers.
  
• Advanced Certificate Management : The camera uses digital certificates to verify that it is secure to communicate with other devices. Think of certificates as digital ID cards that ensure the camera only talks to trusted devices and servers.
• Protection against attacks : The camera has built-in measures to protect it from malicious attacks. This ensures that hackers cannot gain control of the camera or steal data.

Local storage

The camera supports one micro SD card for local storage.

• Micro SDHC card: Supports up to 32GB
• Micro SDXC card: Supports up to 2TB

PTZ functions can be controlled directly from your mobile or computer

The camera is an Autodome from Bosch, which means you can control the camera directly from your mobile or PC.
With the PTZ functionality (Pan, Tilt, Zoom), you can control the camera up and down, zoom in and out, and move it from side to side.

• Remote control via mobile and computer: You can control the camera directly from your mobile or computer, no matter where you are. This way you can keep an eye on and zoom in on specific areas or objects.
• Detailed image: With the built-in 12x optical zoom that the camera comes with, you can zoom in on large distances and get detailed images of objects far away with good details.
• Automatic movement patterns: In addition to manual control, you can program the camera to follow specific routes or monitor specific areas automatically. This is especially useful in larger surveillance areas where the camera can cover several important positions at once.

Motorized zoom and focus for setup

The camera has motorized zoom and focus, which makes it easy to adjust the viewing angle and sharpness during installation.

• Remote Adjustment : During camera installation, you can adjust zoom and focus from a computer, making it easier to find the perfect viewing angle without having to manually adjust the camera.
• Precise adjustment : You can fine-tune the image to ensure it is sharp and covers the desired area.
• One-time adjustment : After setup is complete, there is no need to adjust zoom and focus regularly. The camera remains in the set position and usually does not need further adjustments unless the surveillance needs change.

A Bosch surveillance camera is packed with intelligent analysis

The camera is equipped with 16 different types of VCA (Video Content Analysis).

1. Object in field (object appears in an area)
2. Crossing line (an object crosses a line)
3. Loitering (staying in an area)
4. Condition change
5. Following router (object moves outside the specified route)
6. Tampering (attempted manipulation)
7. Removed object (object removed from a specified position)
8. Idle object (an object is left behind)
9. Entering field (object moves into an area)
10. Leaving field (object leaves area)
11. Similarity search (objects appear similar)
12. Crowd detection (objects gather in groups)
13. Counter (counts how many objects cross a line)
14. Occupancy (meat counter)
15. Traffic incidents
16. Traffic wrong way (oncoming traffic)

All of these analyses are available in all Bosch surveillance cameras and help make Bosch one of the best and most widely used European surveillance cameras. You can see more about the possibilities with "Forensic Search" here:

Stand-alone, closed Bosch system or part of third-party systems, the camera can do it all.

Standalone unit with SD card: With this solution, you can easily download your recordings directly via the Bosch Security app – completely free of charge and without having to remove the SD card from the camera. The camera also monitors the condition of the SD card and notifies you if it is getting worn out or broken. This solution is both practical and just as easy to use as a hard disk recorder.

Bosch NVR: If the camera is to be part of a larger overall solution, it can easily be connected to a Bosch hard disk recorder, such as DIVAR. Alternatively, it can be connected to third-party systems via ONVIF.

VMS platform: The camera can be integrated with leading VMS platforms such as Milestone, Genetec or other third-party systems. This can be done via either proprietary protocols or ONVIF. If you want to fully utilize the camera metadata, you should check if your VMS platform supports the specific camera model.

Power over Ethernet

Do as the pros do. PoE means that only 1 cable needs to be run to the camera. The camera is powered through the network cable, typically from a recorder with built-in PoE, or from a PoE switch.

Power over Ethernet

Do like the professionals. POE means that only one cable is needed for the camera. The camera gets power through the network cable, typically from a recorder with built-in PoE, or from a POE switch.
