Executive Summary & Core Capabilities
The Bosch MIC IP Fusion 9000i is an ultra-rugged bispectral PTZ camera designed for high-security perimeters, critical infrastructure, and pipeline boundary surveillance. Featuring an optical 1080p Starlight 30x sensor sitting side-by-side with an uncooled thermal imager, the unit delivers reliable target detection up to 4,517 meters () regardless of severe weather or lighting obstacles.
- All-Weather Vision: Fuses thermal heat sensing with clear optical zoom to see through smoke, heavy rain, dust, and zero-light conditions.
- Built-in Defroster & Wiper: Integrated silicone window wiper and internal glass defrosters keep lenses clear in sub-zero ice or downpours.
- Extreme Weatherproof Casing: Cast solid-aluminum enclosure rated IP68 and IK10 vandal resistance withstands extreme winds, high impacts, and salty air environments.
The MIC IP Fusion 9000i incorporates dual imaging channels: a 1/2.8-inch CMOS optical imager (, , optical zoom) with HDR X and Starlight low-light sensitivity, alongside a high-sensitivity uncooled Vanadium Oxide (VOx) microbolometer thermal imager ( VGA or QVGA options).
Metadata Fusion fuses edge-calculated detection overlays onto a single screen. If smoke or glare blinds the optical camera, thermal analytical metadata maintains tracking coordinates uninterrupted. Power is supplied via 24 VAC or High PoE (95W), while an integrated 16 GB eMMC provides local fallback recording.
