New FLEXIDOME 5100i cameras with deep learning video analytics improve building security

When it comes to building security, smart cameras with high-quality imaging capabilities are critical. With deep learning, the FLEXIDOME 5100i cameras keep a virtual eye on and around buildings. Differentiating between actual security events and known false triggers can significantly reduce false alarms and the time and expense of security operators investigating the problem.

The IVA Pro Buildings provides reliable alerts for line crossing, loitering, and person and vehicle detection. The high-quality imaging of the new cameras adds value by capturing details even in challenging lighting, thanks to starlight, HDR, and intelligent infrared (IR) technologies.

People counting is an application that helps businesses make critical decisions on how to improve safety, operational efficiency, and profitability. Thanks to the IVA Pro Buildings, built into the FLEXIDOME 5100i, operators can use real-time data to understand what happens in a given location and gain insights into how people move and behave. These insights provide several benefits, for example:

• Help improve safety and security with early warnings for unusual events, e.g., increases in people crossing a virtual perimeter line
• Manage the flow of people entering and exiting buildings or gathering areas most effectively
• Enhance the customer experience by identifying congested areas, allowing for preemptive staffing with more personnel, which reduces customer friction

All building security use cases or applications that involve people counting and person or vehicle detection using the IVA Pro Buildings require no calibration. This feature makes the configuration of video analytics straightforward and ready to use out of the box.

The FLEXIDOME 5100i cameras come pre-installed with the new Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro) Buildings. The IVA Pro Buildings supports accurately detecting persons and vehicles in crowded areas, especially in and around buildings. As an option, when traffic monitoring or long-range intrusion detection alongside perimeters is required, a license can be added for the IVA Pro Perimeter or Traffic. The IVA Pro Buildings, based on deep learning, ensures high resilience to false triggers such as vehicle headlights or shadows, rain, wind, or moving foliage, and sun reflections.

FLEXIDOME 5100i cameras capture details even in challenging lighting for improved situational awareness:

• Starlight technology increases sensitivity for enhanced colors in low light and reduces motion blur on moving objects in dark areas.
• High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology ensures perfect exposure even in scenes with a large dynamic range, capturing all details in bright and dark areas.
• The built-in IR illumination allows the camera to see up to 45 meters in total darkness.
• Intelligent IR ensures objects of interest are perfectly exposed even when close to the camera.
• Available in 4K ultra HD for highly detailed images.

The FLEXIDOME 5100i fixed cameras offer gyro-based electronic image stabilization (EIS) to control image stability. The built-in gyro sensor continuously measures movement and vibration, automatically stabilizes the image, and removes the motion caused by wind or vibration for enhanced image quality.

Thanks to the simple three-step installation concept, the cameras are up and running in minutes. On top of this, commissioning can be done wirelessly via an integrated USB-C and Bosch Wi-Fi dongle, enabling the full power of the Bosch Project Assistant app. With IVA Pro Buildings built-in, they require no calibration for person and vehicle detection, saving installers valuable time.

FLEXIDOME 5100i provides a larger tilt range, allowing the mechanical setting to reach an 85° maximum tilt. This feature makes the camera suitable for low ceiling applications, even at higher zoom levels, without the need for a tilt mount accessory.

FLEXIDOME 5100i cameras provide high-image quality thanks to starlight and HDR. The built-in IVA Pro Buildings supports reliable intrusion detection and accurate people counting in crowded areas. An improved three-step installation concept saves installers valuable time.

FLEXIDOME 5100i IR cameras provide high-image quality for 24/7 performance, thanks to starlight, HDR, and intelligent infrared (IR) illumination. The built-in IVA Pro Buildings supports reliable intrusion detection and accurate people counting in crowded areas. An improved three-step installation concept saves installers valuable time.
