Bosch Previews 4K Ultra HD Surveillance Technology

  • Apr 11, 2013

With an investment in research and development unsurpassed in the industry, Bosch is bringing the next generation of imaging technology to the security surveillance market.

4K imaging delivers 4,000 horizontal and 2,000 vertical pixels to produce 8MP resolution that conforms to the SMPTE HD standard. Larger and richer video provides a tremendous advantage in detail capture with crisp, vivid images even when zoomed in digitally. This makes 4K imaging ideal for tracking people, capturing facial characteristics and numbers, and for large area surveillance. And, the 16:9 HD aspect ratio enables widescreen display of the camera field of view—covering more area and giving operators greater situational awareness.

Bosch's next generation imaging solutions will feature a 12MP sensor that is configurable to 4K mode—an industry first! In 4K mode, the cameras transmit video at up to 30 frames per second for smooth motion—the highest performance available in the industry today. And, at full 12MP resolution, the cameras stream video at an industry-leading 20 frames per second.

Delivered in a number of form factors—including a DINION 12MP fixed camera, FLEXIDOME 12MP vandal-resistant dome, FLEXIDOME 8MP 180° panorama dome, and a FLEXIDOME 7MP 360°* panorama dome —the cameras will fit a range of applications.

For a complete 4K solution, Bosch will offer monitors, video management software, recording and transcoding solutions, ensuring customers get the best image quality possible from these advanced surveillance systems.

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
