Bosch NDP-7512-Z30 2MP Starlight Autodome (PTZ)

A nice PTZ camera from Bosch that can be controlled and detect people and cars

The camera uses Starlight technology to take clear and detailed images, even when it is very dark. Instead of traditional infrared (IR) night vision, which typically produces black and white images in the dark, Starlight technology can deliver color images in low light where a normal camera would switch to black and white.

Advanced Person and Vehicle Detection

The camera has a smart technology called "IVA Pro " that, with AI, makes it possible to detect and follow people and vehicles

• Precise Registration : The camera can recognize and follow both people and vehicles. That is, it can identify when someone enters an area or if a car drives by.
  
• Fewer False Alarms : The camera can recognize patterns with AI and thus avoid false alarms from e.g. rain, moving trees and bushes, snow or shadows. Due to the AI analysis, it reduces false alarms a lot.
  
• Effective Monitoring : The camera can detect a movement and automatically distinguish between different objects. This means it can keep track of where people and cars are moving and notify you
• Smart Alarm System : The camera can be programmed to trigger alarms according to certain rules. It can, for example, notify if a person enters a restricted area or if a car parks in a place where it is not permitted. This makes it easier to keep an eye on important areas without having to constantly look at the screen.

Night vision with Starlight Technology

The camera uses Starlight technology to take clear and detailed images, even when it is very dark. Instead of traditional infrared (IR) night vision, which typically produces black and white images in the dark, Starlight technology can deliver color images in low light where a normal camera would switch to black and white.
When it gets completely dark, the camera turns on the IR light and the image goes to black and white

Advantages of Starlight Technology in the Dark

• Color images in Low Light : Starlight technology needs very little light to create a color image. So where a traditional camera goes to black and white, a camera with Starlight keeps the color image much longer.
• High Sensitivity : The technology is sensitive to light, making it possible to see details that other cameras would lose in the dark.
• Clear Images without Glare : Even in challenging lighting conditions, such as when there are strong lights and deep shadows in the same scene, Starlight technology ensures clear images without glare or distortion.

The difference between Starlight and Starlight X is the light sensitivity. The Starlight technology can work in low light down to 0.0008 lux, where Starlight X can work down to 0.0003 lux, which means that even if it is almost completely dark, it can still deliver a really good image.

Data Protection and Security

• Multiple Layers of Security : The camera has multiple levels of protection that work together to ensure that the data and the camera itself are safe from attacks and unauthorized access.
  
• Access protection : There are three levels of access protection, which means that only authorized people can change settings or view the recordings. It's like having several 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 has been converted into a secret code that can only be read by those who have the right encryption key. This protects the data from being intercepted by hackers.
  
• Advanced Certificate Management : The camera uses digital certificates to confirm that it is safe to communicate with other devices. Think of certificates as digital ID cards that ensure the camera only talks to trusted devices and servers.
• Protection from 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 the data.

Local storage

The camera supports one micro SD card of up to 2TB

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

Camera Trainer: The camera can be trained

The camera has a smart feature called "Camera Trainer". This function allows you to teach the camera to recognize specific things or objects that you choose. It can be anything from cars and people to certain objects. The camera can then detect these objects both when they are moving and when they are standing still. This means that the camera becomes more flexible and efficient, because it can focus on the things that are most important to you.

Motorized Technician 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 : When the camera is first installed, you can adjust the zoom and focus from a computer. This makes it easier to find the perfect viewing angle without having to manually adjust the camera.
• Fine Tuning : You can fine-tune the image to ensure it is sharp and covers the desired area.
• One-time adjustment : After the initial setup is complete, there is no need to adjust the zoom and focus regularly. The camera remains in the set position and usually does not need further adjustments unless surveillance needs change

(PTZ) Can be controlled directly from the mobile phone or computer

The camera is an Autodome from Bosch, which means you can control the camera up and down, zoom and control it from side to side.
