Bosch NDE-5703-AL

Security teams monitoring outdoor perimeters, parking lots, or building entrances need a camera that delivers sharp, detailed footage day and night, while standing up to harsh weather and tampering. The Bosch NDE-5703-AL is a 5-megapixel network dome camera built for exactly these demanding environments. Its motorized varifocal lens lets you remotely adjust the field of view from 32° to 100°, ensuring you capture the right area without climbing a ladder. With Essential Video Analytics onboard, it can distinguish between a person, a vehicle, and other movement, reducing false alarms and focusing your attention on real threats.

Why choose it

This camera delivers more than just high resolution—it gives you intelligent video.

Remote zoom and focus via the web interface or Bosch Configuration Manager make installation and adjustments quick and safe.
