Bosch NBE-5704-AL 8MP Starlight Mini bullet

Small discreet mini bullet camera from Bosch Security

A camera with advanced person and vehicle detection that sees well in low light

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

• Accurate 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 : With AI, the camera can recognize patterns 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. Starlight technology can work in low light down to 0.0008 lux, where Starlight X can work all the way 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.

Built-in microphone

The camera almost allows you to be present without actually being. The built-in microphone can be used to record all sounds around the camera and even go in and listen live here and now. This feature provides a very good opportunity to assess whether something is happening outside the camera's field of view, but also high investigative value, as you may be lucky to get accents or names on the recordings.

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

Supported licenses

Licenses that can be added to the camera. All three licenses can be activated simultaneously.

• IVA Pro Buildings License: This license enables advanced video analytics features specifically designed for building surveillance. It includes functions such as intrusion detection, tracking of people and vehicles, and detection of unauthorized access.
  
• IVA Pro Perimeter License: This license is intended for perimeter surveillance and protects borders by identifying and tracking people or vehicles crossing defined lines or entering recorded areas.
  
• IVA Pro Traffic License: This license extends the camera's video analysis to traffic monitoring. It can be used to monitor road traffic, detect events such as queues or accidents, and analyze traffic patterns.

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 (stay in area)
4. Condition change
5. Following router (object moves outside the specified route)
6. Tampering (attempted manipulation)
7. Removed object (object is 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 leaving 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 (Queue Counter)
15. Traffic incidents (Traffic incidents)
16. Traffic wrong way (oncoming traffic)

All these analyzes 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 options with "Forensic Search" here.

Stand-alone, closed Bosch system or part of 3rd party systems, the camera can do it all.

Independent device with SD card - so you can download all your recordings directly on the Bosch Security APP, completely free of charge and without taking the SD card out of the camera and don't worry if the SD card wears out or breaks, the camera will also keep an eye with it. This solution works well and just as easily as with a hard disk recorder.

Bosch NVR - If the camera is to be used in a larger integrated solution, it can also be connected to a hard disk recorder from Bosch, DIVAR, or via ONVIF a completely 3rd manufacturer

If you use a VMS platform such as Milestone, Genetec or a whole 3. then you can also add the camera via either Private protocol or ONVIF. If you want to take full advantage of META data from the camera, you must check the list of supported cameras on your VMS platform.
