Bosch launches new Flexidome IP starlight 8000i X series

Industrial

Launched in UAE, the new Flexidome IP starlight 8000i X series offers two or four megapixel resolution, custom optics, next-level HDR (high dynamic range) X, and starlight X for enhanced image quality in scenes with low-light and fast-moving objects

The new starlight X technology helps to significantly improve image capture during the day. It excels in near-dark scenes, ensuring color images down to 0.0061 lux due to its custom optics, Bosch advanced image processing algorithms, and noise suppression. HDR X enables the cameras to optimise video capture in scenes with fast-moving objects with a dynamic range up to 144 dB, ensuring perfect exposure regardless of challenging lighting conditions while reducing motion-related artefacts and blur in the daytime. The camera’s new 1/1.8 inch sensor further improves image quality across all light levels. 

Exceptional outdoor performance 24/7

The new X series extends the outdoor fixed camera portfolio of the Flexidome IP starlight 8000i family by delivering an ideal mix of resolution, light sensitivity, dynamic range, frame rate, custom optics, and built-in AI. The cameras' enhanced image qualities address the difficulties inherent in extremely low light and challenging light levels around the clock. Thanks to their robust, water- and dust-resistant design with an IP66 and IP6K9K rating and vandal-resistant IK10+ housing, typical applications include manufacturing, public sector, and transportation. The cameras can withstand temperatures ranging from -50 to +60°C (-8 to +140°F). Their high-quality, dual-layer coating also protects against corrosion.

Built-in AI supports predictive solutions

Like all Flexidome IP starlight 8000i cameras, the X series has built-in AI featuring IVA and Camera Trainer to support predictive solutions. This built-in AI enables these cameras to understand what they see and attach a layer of metadata to video feeds to convert video data into actionable insights, helping users anticipate unforeseen events and prevent them from happening. IVA is highly resistant to false triggers caused by demanding weather conditions, such as snow, wind, rain, hail, and water reflections, and environments subject to vibration, such as on bridges. It provides automatic object detection over large distances, making it ideal for perimeter protection of airports, parking lots, critical infrastructures, government buildings, border patrol, ship tracking, and traffic monitoring. 

Remote device management supports sustainable business practices

The new cameras also feature Bosch remote device management, which is a combination of tools like project assistant and configuration manager and services for secure, transparent, and cost-effective device management throughout a product’s life. The innovative remote wireless configuration and commissioning functionality of the Flexidome IP starlight 8000i range enables installers to work smarter while onsite. With any Flexidome IP starlight 8000i camera, commissioning can be done entirely wireless – no need for ladders or lifts. Installers can use the Bosch Project Assistant app installed on a wireless tablet or smartphone to adjust the pan, tilt, roll, and zoom (PTRZ) and set the required field of view without touching the camera or lens.
