FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i cameras

The FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i cameras are the first cameras enabled for Intelligent Audio Analytics, helping security staff see with sound to understand the situation quickly and appropriately respond to an incident.

Intelligent Audio Analytics detects and classifies sounds and identifies the approximate direction of the source. This new audio AI is trained on field data sets in various environments and background noises to detect sound signatures of gunshots, smoke alarms (T3), and carbon monoxide alarms (T4) while ignoring false positives, like slamming car doors or banging carts. This precise detection enables security guards to confirm the alarm visually and act proactively. The cameras offer 360-degree coverage without blind spots, an integrated microphone array, and three MEMS acoustic sensors that can capture sound from any direction to help guide an operator to the area of interest. The first Intelligent Audio Analytics software licenses available for the cameras are the Gunshot Detector and T3/T4 (Smoke and Carbon monoxide alarm) Detector. Additional detectors are planned in the future firmware releases.

Like all Bosch cameras, the new panoramic cameras combine built-in AI with the Internet of Things (IoT), easily converting video data into valuable insights. Remote Portal fully supports these video cameras, enabling system integrators to remotely perform services such as changing configuration settings and installing firmware updates to ensure systems meet the highest reliability standards and support sustainable business practices.

Benefits

24/7 Situational awareness

High-quality imaging with no blind spots covers large and uniquely shaped areas, while edge-based AI delivers insights to identify important objects or situations any time, day, or night.

Accurate and reliable sound detection

Improve situational awareness and strengthen security by pairing video with audio analytics. Precise detection of specific sound signatures while ignoring false positives enables security guards to confirm the alarm visually and act proactively.

Simple to install

Panoramic cameras are easy to install with a twist-and-click system and have adjustable imager rotation for versatile use.

Stress-free and sustainable operations

Our cloud-based approach ensures that all our solutions maximize convenience and minimize costly on-site visits, effectively reducing travel and CO₂ emissions.

Secure and protected

We embrace an end-to-end approach to maximize data security, physical safety, and cybersecurity to give you peace of mind and protection against potential threats. No audio information needs to be recorded or leave the camera ensuring privacy is protected.

Seamless integration

Panoramic cameras offer valuable insights to users thanks to their seamless integration with Bosch and leading video management systems. Event-based integration of Intelligent Audio Analytics with BVMS, Cloud Services and Bosch intrusion panels. Bosch Sound Detectors are integrated in Intrusion Alarm system allowing users to interface with one system and trigger emergency alarms.

Use cases

360° overview, zero blind spots

Places like border control or waiting areas in airports, bank entrances or other commercial buildings need a great overview. It’s important to track people from the moment they enter the building and follow them as they move around. Because all of their movements may be crucial for monitoring behavior or forensic search. Without exception. Zero blind spots. FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i cameras do both. They also have the option to zoom in on objects of interest. And at a better resolution than ever before - even at the extreme edges of a scene. So you can minimize the risk of missing important information.

Enhanced security, informed decisions

Get insights into anything from occupancy levels in a parking lot to recognizing and detecting stationary objects or objects that have been remove e.g. mandatory fire equipment in a logistics hall. Built-in Camera Trainer enables you to tailor built-in Video Analytics to detect the things that matter most to you. For even more accuracy and flexibility.

Improve situational awareness and response time by pairing audio and video analytics

The FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i are the first Bosch cameras to feature Intelligent Audio Analytics on the edge, besides the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics and Camera Trainer. Intelligent Audio Analytics help security staff see with sound, enabling them to quickly and appropriately respond to an incident. It is based on SoundSee technology used by the International Space Station where it identifies imminent failures by analyzing machine noise ─ it can hear when something is about to go wrong.

The first Intelligent Audio Analytics software licenses available are the Gunshot Detector and T3/T4 (Smoke and Carbon monoxide alarm) Detector for the FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i and FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i IR. Additional detectors are planned in the future firmware releases.

In schools and universities, panoramic cameras can give a complete overview and identify unusual situations in hallways, corridors, cafeterias, and other areas. By providing instantaneously detection, classification and direction of the source of an audio event without the need for additional server or external connectivity, Intelligent Audio Analytics will vastly improve situational awareness and strengthen the protection of people and property.

Features

Reliable built-in video and audio analytics

FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i cameras are equipped with Intelligent Video Analytics, Camera Trainer, Intelligent Audio Analytics. The built-in audio and video AI enables the cameras to understand what they see and convert video and audio data into actionable insights. This ultimately improves security, delivers business insights and improves response times in emergency situations.

Intelligent Video Analytics helps customer focus only on alerts that matter and track suspicious activity
Camera Trainer teaches cameras to detect objects or situations that customers previously couldn’t detect
Intelligent Audio Analytics precisely detects and classifies sounds and identifies the direction of the source. This enables security guards to confirm the alarm visually and act proactively. So they can respond fast and appropriately to an incident.

High- quality of relevant images 24/7

Bosch FLEXIDOME Panoramic 5100i IR cameras offer a 360-degree overview in a single image without blind spots, even in low-light conditions thanks to infrared light. By offering a detailed overview image of an area, the panoramic cameras enable users to simultaneously zoom in on an object of interest without losing the bigger picture. The close-up images are transmitted in a separate channel so that both overview and detail can be viewed at the same time – and all in high resolution. Edge or client-side dewarping ensures easy integration and flexible viewing and recording. With 12-megapixel sensor resolution at a frame rate of 30 frames per second, these cameras provide a 360-degree overview enabling the easy capture of objects to significantly improve the quality of a surveillance operation. Perfect exposure to capture objects of interest is achieved in every situation by Intelligent Auto Exposure. It automatically adjusts the exposure of the camera by dynamically adapting to the changing light conditions to deliver excellent front light and backlight compensation.

Designed for easy installation and mounting

Designed for easy installation and mounting, the panoramic cameras also offer twist and click installation to reduce installation time. A rotatable imager enables easier alignment. For applications when it’s necessary to look down along the wall, the cameras can be easily mounted and tilted on a wall to achieve a 180-degree view.
