The NWD-455 FlexiDome IP is a high-performance, 1/3-
inch CCD network camera, designed to ensure the
highest possible image quality at all times. This ultra-
compact and vandal-resistant camera provides DVD-
like quality MPEG-4 video at up to 25 and 30 images
per second (for PAL and NTSC respectively) or H.264
encoding. Network video signals are sent over IP
networks and can be received and displayed on a PC
web browser, viewed and recorded using the DiBos
hybrid recording system, or managed as part of a
VIDOS or BVMS video management system. Moreover,
a BOSCH Video over IP (BVIP) decoder can decode the
stream for viewing on a CVBS or VGA monitor.
FlexiDome IP uses H.264 or MPEG-4 compression,
bandwidth throttling, and multicasting capabilities to
manage bandwidth and storage requirements
efficiently, while delivering the best image quality and
resolution. The analog video service output and the on-
screen displays (OSD) simplify focus adjustment and
network configuration, leading to lower installation
and support costs. Power over Ethernet (PoE) makes
installation easier and more cost-effective, since these
cameras no longer require AC power.
Functions
H.264 Baseline Profile Encoding
Firmware version 4.0 and higher enables the camera to
use H.264 Baseline Profile to encode the video signal.
This reduces the required bit rate for a given quality
setting, or increases the quality while keeping the bit
rate setting.
Because H.264 Baseline Profile does not support field
encoding, interlaced video is not possible, thus
resolution is limited to a maximum of 2CIF. H.264
encoding requires double the performance in respect
to MPEG‑4. Frame rate values must therefore be
divided by two.
MPEG-4 video encoding
The FlexiDome MPEG-4 encoder creates high-quality
streaming video at low bit rates, minimizing bandwidth
and storage requirements, which further reduces
costs. Each FlexiDome IP camera can deliver up to 25
and 30 images per second (PAL and NTSC) at true
4CIF video resolution.
