by Brianna Crandall — May 16, 2011—Bosch Security Systems recently launched two new professional security camera series based on more than a decade of operational expertise gained in some of the world’s most challenging surveillance conditions.

The MIC Series 500 Professional is a rugged, high-speed pan-tilt-zoom camera designed to withstand tough conditions in the most demanding environments. The camera is ideal for large, outdoor, multi-camera applications, such as marine or coastal settings, industrial or utility sites, and transportation hubs.

The camera’s rugged, vandal-resistant construction includes an IP 68/NEMA4X-rated aluminum casing that allows no dust ingress and withstands sustained periods of immersion under water. The series can be mounted upright, inverted or canted, which simplifies project planning and provides increased flexibility for installation.

The Extreme Series Camera EX65 is a high-performance yet affordable camera that holds international explosion protected certifications to provide safe surveillance for hazardous locations, including oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical facilities.

The EX65 model’s electropolished 316L stainless steel construction protects the camera from corrosion, particularly in offshore applications. The model is also available in anodized aluminum for onshore harsh-weather environments, from ice to the hottest desert setting. Its Dinion 2X day/night technology delivers uncompromising surveillance in all lighting conditions, with 20-bit image processing and smart backlight compensation (BLC).
