Bosch Dinion and FlexiDome IP Cameras

Analog security cameras use thick coaxial cables wired to your centralized security room and a digital video recorder (DVR) there. IP cameras, however, can be on a wireless network — and you don't even need a centralized security room with a monitor wall and a fixed operator workstation since anyone with a password and authorized access can view security footage on networked monitors, computers and smartphones. Security footage is stored on network video recorders (NVRs) — which unlike DVRs, that require you to be in the same room with the monitor the DVR is hooked to in order to view footage, lets you can view the video from anywhere in the world.

These particular IP cameras — from left to right, the FlexiDome and the Dinion — are day/night models that use current-standard H.264 video compression along with 20-bit image processing. And given the company's 114-year-old reputation, we're inclined to believe it when it says that these cameras use advanced software algorithms to analyze and enhance each pixel, as well as highly sensitive sensors that can create progressive-scan images for sharp details even in low-light. conditions. In terms of installation, they use the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) standard, which theoretically ensures they'll integrate seamlessly with compliant video products from different vendors.

All in all, it makes us feel secure, even if the company name does sound like a sound effect: Boshhhhh!  As in "putting the kibosh on intruders," no doubt.
