The FLEXIDOME IP 3000i IR is built for high quality, 24/7 performance, with a range of reliable surveillance features, including Essential Video Analytics, and is designed for easy installation. The built-in active infrared illuminator provides high performance in extreme low-light environments. The camera is for indoor use and has a resolution of 1080p.

System overview

The automatic zoom/focus lens wizard makes it easy for an installer to accurately zoom and focus the camera for both day and night operation. The wizard is activated from the PC or from the on-board camera push button making it easy to choose the workflow that suits best. The AVF (Automatic Varifocal) feature means that the zoom can be changed without opening the camera. The automatic motorized zoom/focus adjustment with 1:1 pixel mapping ensures the camera is always accurately focused.

Easy to install stylish indoor dome

Ideal for indoor use, the stylish design is suitable for installations where appearance and flexible coverage are important. The varifocal lens allows you to choose the coverage area to best suit your application. Using the proprietary pan/tilt/rotation mechanism, installers can select the exact field of view. Mounting options are numerous, including surface, wall, and suspended-ceiling mounting.

Intelligent streaming reduces bandwidth and storage requirements

The low-noise image and the efficient H.265 compression technology provide clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 80% compared to standard H.264 cameras. With this new generation of cameras an extra level of intelligence is added with Intelligent Streaming. The camera provides the most usable image possible by cleverly optimizing the detail-to-bandwidth ratio. The smart encoder continuously scans the complete scene as well as regions of the scene and dynamically adjust compression based on relevant information like movement. Together with Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, which actively analyzes the contents of a scene and reduces noise artifacts accordingly, bitrates are reduced by up to 80%. Because noise is reduced at the source during image capture, the lower bitrate does not compromise image quality. This results in substantially lower storage costs and network strain and still retain a high image quality and smooth motion.

Bitrate optimized profile

The average typical optimized bitrate in kbits/s for various frame rates when in H.265 mode is shown in the table:

fps 5 MP

30 1597

12 1205

5 799

2 344

Multiple streams

The multi-streaming feature delivers various H.264 or H.265 streams together with an M-JPEG stream. These streams facilitate bandwidth-efficient viewing and recording as well as integration with third-party video management systems. The camera can run multiple independent streams that allows to set a different resolution and frame rate on the first and second stream. The user can also choose to use a copy of the first stream. The third stream uses the I-frames of the first stream for recording; the fourth stream shows a JPEG image at a maximum of 10 Mbit/s.

Two-way audio and audio alarm

Two-way audio allows the operator to communicate with visitors or intruders via an external audio line input and output. Audio detection can be used to generate an alarm if needed.

True day/night switching

The camera incorporates mechanical filter technology for vivid daytime color and exceptional night-time imaging while maintaining sharp focus under all lighting conditions.
