Bosch NDI-3703-AL security camera Dome IP security camera Indoor 2592 x 1944 pixels Ceiling

The FLEXIDOME indoor 3100i IR is a versatile camera for general indoor surveillance monitoring. The 5MP sensor, along with an integrated varifocal lens, support a sharp and detailed image with a flexible field of view. With added IR functionality, the camera is able to function even in scenes where ambient lighting is not always available. The device features built-in IVA Pro Buildings, bringing highly reliable deep learning-based detection which only triggers relevant alarms. The device is also secured with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) functionality, ensuring safe storage of all certificates and keys needed for authentication and encryption. The camera design snaps on without visible screws, making installation fast and easy. An extensive range of compatible accessories enables various mounting options.

High Dynamic Range
The camera has High Dynamic Range. This is based on a multiple-exposure process that captures more details in the highlights and in the shadows even in the same scene. The result is that you can easily distinguish objects and features, for example, faces with bright backlight.

Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro Buildings)
The camera comes with the IVA Pro Buildings preinstalled and brings reliable deep-learning based detection and tracking of persons and vehicles. Being resistant to false triggers caused by challenging environments with rain, wind (moving trees), snow, hail, and water reflections as well as shadows and bugs, it detects, tracks, and classifies objects. A smart set of alarm and counter rules alerts you when predefined alarms are triggered, and enables forensic search with high efficiency though recordings. Configuration effort is minimized and made easy by removing the need for calibration.

Intelligent streaming
Smart encoding capabilities, utilizing video analytics, reduce bandwidth consumption to extremely low levels. Only relevant information in the scene, such as motion or objects found through analytics, needs to be encoded. The camera is capable of triple streaming, allowing it to deliver independent and configurable streams for live viewing, recording, or remote monitoring via constrained bandwidths. Each of these streams can be adapted independently to deliver high-quality video, perfectly tailored to purpose, while reducing bit rate by up to 90% compared to a standard camera.

Modular accessories
A full line of modular accessories is available, which allows a consistent design across different cameras and a wide range of installation possibilities. Available options include wall or pipe mount, an SMB with 4S and conduit support, and a compact L shape wall mount.

Edge recording
Insert a memory card into the card slot to store up to 2 TB of local alarm recording. Pre-alarm recording in RAM reduces recording bandwidth on the network, and extends the effective life of the memory card. It has advanced edge recording providing a reliable storage solution possible due to the combination of these functions:
- Industrial SD card support allows for extreme lifetime
- Health monitoring of industrial SD cards provide early service indications.

Easy installation
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Powerover-Ethernet compliant network cable connection. With this configuration, only a single cable connection is required to view, power, and control the camera. Using PoE makes installation easier and more cost-effective, as cameras do not require a local power source.

Data security
Special measures have been put in place to ensure the highest level of security for device access and data transport. The three-level password protection with security recommendations allows users to customize device access. Web browser access can be protected using HTTPS and firmware updates can also be protected with authenticated secure uploads. The cameras have built-in Secure Element (SE) hardware providing main Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functionality to ensure the highest levels of data security and privacy protection. Together with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support, superior protection from malicious attacks is guaranteed. The cameras also support RSA encryption key lengths of up to 4096 bits, ensuring data safety beyond 2030, as well as 802.1x network authentication with EAP/ TLS. The advanced certificate handling offers:
- Bosch origin device certificate pre-installed
- Self-signed unique certificates automatically created when required
- Client and server certificates for authentication
- Client certificates for proof of authenticity
- Certificates with encrypted private keys

Bosch Remote Portal
With the secure cloud infrastructure, Remote Portal, you can manage your connected Bosch devices. From the Remote Portal you can:
- Complete initial configuration of your connected Bosch devices (online or offline).
- Update firmware for single or multiple devices.
- Manage certificates.
- Monitor the health of your connected Bosch devices.

System integration and ONVIF conformance
The camera conforms to the ONVIF Profile S, ONVIF Profile G, ONVIF Profile M, and ONVIF Profile T specifications. For H.265 configuration, the camera supports Media Service 2, which is part of ONVIF Profile T. Compliance with these standards guarantees interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer. Third-party integrators can easily access the internal feature set of the camera for integration into large projects.

How to use

Mount the camera at the chosen location ensuring the dome has an unobstructed view of the monitored area. Connect the camera to the network using the appropriate Ethernet cable and power source according to the site’s power-over-Ethernet or local power configuration. Configure network settings and integrate the camera into your video management system or network video recorder, then adjust lens framing to cover critical zones. Calibrate motion detection thresholds and schedule recording or event notifications as required for your monitoring needs.

Recommendations

Position the camera to minimize direct exposure to strong light sources or reflections, and use appropriate mounting height to balance field of view and identification needs. Regularly check firmware updates and verify weather seals after installation to maintain reliable outdoor performance.
