Network IP dome camera Bosch FLEXIDOME 8100i IR 6MP HDR motorized 3.9–10 mm PTZ IP6K9K (NDE-8703-RL)

The Bosch FLEXIDOME 8100i IR is a network IP dome camera designed for wide-area surveillance and detailed scene capture. Featuring a 6MP sensor with HDR and a motorized 3.9–10 mm zoom range, the camera supports flexible framing and clear imaging across varying lighting conditions. Integrated infrared illumination enables reliable low-light performance, while the robust IP6K9K dust and water rating ensures the unit can be installed in demanding outdoor enclosures or in challenging indoor environments. This model is engineered for security and facility management applications that require both situational overview and fine detail recognition.

Advantages

The camera combines a high-resolution 6MP sensor with HDR to preserve detail in scenes that include both bright and dark areas. Motorized PTZ functionality with a 3.9–10 mm zoom enables adaptive framing without manual lens changes, and integrated IR illumination extends usability into low-light or nighttime conditions. Its IP6K9K ingress protection rating provides exceptional resistance to dust, high-pressure washdowns and water exposure when mounted in appropriate housings, increasing reliability in harsh installations. Network connectivity supports integration into standard IP-based video management systems.

Suitable for

• Large indoor public spaces such as airports, train stations and shopping centres
• Industrial facilities and manufacturing floors when installed in protective enclosures
• Perimeter and exterior monitoring when used with certified outdoor housings
• Security and access control points requiring both overview and detailed face or licence-plate capture

How to use

Install the camera in a location that provides the desired coverage and ensure it is housed in an appropriate enclosure if used outdoors or in harsh conditions. Connect the device to a PoE-capable switch or provide the required network power and configure network settings through the camera’s web interface or your video management system. Use the motorized zoom and pan/tilt controls to set initial framing and presets for routine monitoring. Adjust HDR and exposure settings as needed to balance bright and dark areas in the scene, and verify IR illumination coverage for low-light zones.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation in outdoor or industrial environments, mount the camera inside a certified outdoor enclosure that maintains the IP6K9K protection. Regularly verify lens cleanliness and IR illuminator alignment, and schedule firmware updates via your network management tools to maintain security and feature compatibility with video management systems.
