Bosch CCTV Cameras in Saudi Arabia: DINION 5100i, FLEXIDOME 5100i and DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000, and When Consultants Specify Them

كاميرا مراقبة بوليت مثبتة على جدار من الطوب

AZEIDK supplies Bosch CCTV cameras in Saudi Arabia in three groups: the DINION 5100i IR outdoor bullets (2, 5 and 8 MP), the FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR 8 MP dome, and the DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 recording and management appliance for up to 32 channels. Bosch typically appears where the specification names the brand or demands documented cybersecurity.

This guide covers each model as stated in Bosch’s official datasheets, what consultants check in the submittal, when an “approved equal” is acceptable, and how cameras and recorder fit together.

Key takeaways

  • DINION 5100i IR comes in three outdoor models: NBE-5702-AL (2 MP), NBE-5703-AL (5 MP) and NBE-5704-AL (8 MP), rated IP66/IP67, IK10 and NEMA 4X.
  • FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR (NDV-5704-AL) is a 4K (3840 × 2160) indoor dome rated IP54 and IK10.
  • DINION and FLEXIDOME ship with IVA Pro Buildings analytics pre-installed and conform to ONVIF Profiles S, G, T and M.
  • DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 is a BVMS-based appliance for up to 32 IP channels (8 pre-licensed) and up to 250 Mbps recording bandwidth.
  • The camera datasheets list a Secure Element with TPM functionality, HTTPS, PKI support and NDAA compliance.

Which Bosch CCTV products does AZEIDK offer in Saudi Arabia?

AZEIDK offers Bosch video products in the Saudi market only, through the Bosch brand page and its security and surveillance systems solution. Values below come from AZEIDK’s product pages and Bosch’s official datasheets.

ProductTypeResolution / capacityProtectionTypical use
DINION 5100i IROutdoor IP bullet2 / 5 / 8 MPIP66/IP67, IK10, NEMA 4XPerimeters, fences, car parks, yards

The AVIOTEC video fire detection camera is left out on purpose: it belongs with fire alarm content, not surveillance.

Bosch DINION 5100i IR outdoor bullet cameras

All three models use a 3.2–10.5 mm varifocal lens with motorised zoom and focus, so the view is set from software without opening the housing. The datasheet gives an operating range of −40 to +55 °C, which covers exposed Saudi sites in summer.

What DINION 5100i adds to a design

  • Analytics: IVA Pro Buildings pre-installed for deep-learning detection of persons and vehicles; IVA Pro Perimeter or IVA Pro Traffic as optional licences.
  • Edge recording: microSD slot supporting cards up to 2 TB.
  • Power: PoE IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at Type 1, Class 3, or 12 VDC.
  • Audio: two-way audio via external line in/out.
  • DORI: for the 8 MP model, the datasheet gives an Identify distance of about 6 m at 3.2 mm and 28 m at 10.5 mm (EN 62676-4).

Bosch FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR (NDV-5704-AL)

The FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR is a fixed ceiling dome for indoor public areas: 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor, 3840 × 2160 maximum resolution, 3.2–10.5 mm lens (105° – 31°), built-in IR up to 40 m and up to 30 fps.

It is rated IP54 and IK10, which suits waiting areas and corridors where tampering is a risk. The datasheet adds a built-in microphone with two-way audio (the microphone can be locked by a secure licence key where local rules require), alarm input and output, PoE Class 3 and an operating range of −20 to +50 °C. For exposed entrances and car parks, use DINION 5100i IR instead.

Bosch DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 recording appliance

The DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 is more than a plain NVR. Per the datasheet it combines recording, viewing and management on Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) and Video Recording Manager components, running Microsoft Windows Server IoT 2022 for Storage Workgroup. Per the datasheet, it runs on the BVMS Lite base licence (MBV-BLIT-DIP).

DIP-4428IG-2HD2 × 8 TB14896 GB
DIP-442IIG-2HD2 × 18 TB33516 GB
  • Up to 32 IP camera channels, 8 pre-licensed; the licence table (base licence MBV-BLIT-DIP) sets an upper limit of 32.
  • Up to 250 Mbps recording bandwidth; camera streams must be configured to stay within it.
  • Compact mini-tower with two front-swappable 3.5-inch SATA bays, shipped in a non-RAID configuration.
  • One DisplayPort and two HDMI outputs; two Gigabit LAN ports.
  • Three operating modes: full recording and management system, recorder within a BVMS system, or iSCSI storage expansion.
  • Mouse and keyboard are not included; software maintenance needs a separate Software Assurance agreement.

Bosch camera cybersecurity: what the datasheets state

On government, healthcare and other high-spec projects, consultants ask how the camera itself is protected, not only how good the image is. The official DINION 5100i IR and FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR datasheets list:

  • A built-in Secure Element providing main TPM functionality.
  • HTTPS browser access and authenticated secure firmware uploads.
  • PKI support, a pre-installed Bosch origin device certificate, and client/server certificates.
  • Three-level password protection.
  • NDAA compliance.

The FLEXIDOME datasheet also lists the UL 2900-2-3 Cybersecurity Assurance Program and IEC 62443-4-1; the DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 datasheet lists IEC 62443 capability plus NDAA and TAA compliance. Ask for these by name in the submittal and do not assume they apply to every model.

When do consultants specify Bosch cameras?

Bosch usually appears where the specification names the brand or sets detailed requirements: ONVIF profiles, on-board analytics, alarm-system immunity standards such as EN 50130-4, and cybersecurity documentation. Approval then becomes a line-by-line review.

What a consultant checks in a Bosch CCTV submittal

  1. Full model number (e.g. NBE-5704-AL, NDV-5704-AL) against the BOQ.
  2. Resolution, frame rate, field of view and DORI distances per location.
  3. IP and IK ratings and operating temperature for outdoor positions.
  4. PoE class and switch compatibility.
  5. Required ONVIF profiles and VMS compatibility.
  6. Cybersecurity documents and certificates named in the specification.
  7. Recorder storage, bandwidth and licensed channels.

Is an approved equal accepted?

That depends on the specification wording and the consultant. Under “Bosch or approved equal”, the contractor must show the alternative meets every written clause, not just resolution. Where the brand is named with no alternative, supply it as specified or obtain written approval before any change.

Bosch vs Hikvision and Dahua

AZEIDK also supplies Hikvision and Dahua, compared in Hikvision or Dahua?. The practical question is which brand meets the project specification:

Specification itemBosch datasheetWhat an alternative must show
Brand named, Written consultant approval
CybersecuritySecure Element (TPM functions), HTTPS, PKIOfficial manufacturer document per clause
NDAAStated for cameras and DIVAR IPManufacturer statement for the same model
IntegrationONVIF S, G, T, MSame profiles or proven VMS compatibility
Outdoor environmentIP66/IP67, IK10, −40 to +55 °C (DINION)Equal or higher ratings

Where a project does not impose these requirements, Hikvision and Dahua lines may be a good fit. For the wider market see CCTV and access control brands in Saudi Arabia, and for types, resolution and storage see the CCTV cameras guide.

FAQ

What is the difference between Bosch DINION and FLEXIDOME?

DINION 5100i IR is an outdoor bullet (IP66/IP67, IR up to 60 m); FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR is an indoor ceiling dome (IP54, IR up to 40 m).

How many cameras does DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 support?

Up to 32 IP camera channels, 8 pre-licensed, with a licensed upper limit of 32 per the datasheet.

Do Bosch cameras work with other brands’ recorders?

They conform to ONVIF Profiles S, G, T and M, which eases integration; check which features the chosen VMS actually supports.

Do Bosch cameras need a separate power supply?

Usually not. Both cameras run on PoE Class 3, and DINION also accepts 12 VDC.

Summary

Start from the specification: DINION 5100i IR for the outdoor perimeter, FLEXIDOME indoor 5100i IR for interiors, and DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 for recording and management up to 32 channels. Checking model numbers, certificates, PoE class and recording bandwidth before the submittal saves repeated rejections.
