The Bosch NBC-255-P and NBC-225-P IP cameras are readyto-use, complete network video surveillance systems inside a compact camera. These cameras bring Bosch’s high performance technology into the realm of small office and retail businesses by offering a cost-effective solution for a broad range of applications.

To use the camera as a stand-alone video surveillance system, simply take it out of the box and install it; it operates straight away, no additional equipment is required.

For medium-to-large-scale or growing systems, the camera easily integrates with the Bosch Divar 700 Series recorder. It uses H.264 compression technology to give clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 30%.

Functions

Best-in-class image performance
The Bosch NBC-255-P and NBC-225-P IP cameras deliver the clearest images and most accurate colors within its class. Progressive scan ensures moving objects are always sharp.

Tri-streaming video
Tri-streaming allows a data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to three different, individually customized settings. Two types of streams can serve different purposes. For example, use H.264 stream for local recording and viewing, and the M-JPEG stream to provide compatibility with legacy DVRs.

Efficient recording
A removable SD/SDHC card offers edge recording inside the camera. This SD card not only saves network bandwidth but also reduces the requirement for a high-capacity hard disk or DVR. When used with an SD card, the camera is a complete, self-contained surveillance system without the need for additional equipment.

The camera can also be used with an iSCSI server connected via the network to store long-term recordings.

16-channel PC surveillance software
The bundled PC surveillance software offers a user-friendly interface to support easy installation and configuration. A wizard allows the configuration of multiple cameras simultaneously using an auto detection device. Multiple cameras can be monitored in one screen and video clips on the SD card can be archived and searched in a single application.

ONVIF 1.0 compliant
The latest Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) standard ensures compatibility with other surveillance products. This will contribute to a reduction in future upgrade or migration costs.

Two-way audio and audio alarm
Two-way audio allows remote users to listen in on an area and communicate messages to visitors or intruders via an external loudspeaker (not included). Audio detection can be used to generate an alarm, if needed.

Tamper and motion detection
A wide range of configuration options is available for alarms signaling camera tampering. A built-in algorithm for detecting movement in the video can also be used for alarm signaling.

Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection. With this configuration, only a single cable connection is required to view, power, and control the camera.
