Bosch Bullet Thermal VGA 30° 30Hz IP66/IP67 IK10 PoE+ (NBT-8701-F14VF)

Thermal bullet camera with uncooled VOx microbolometer delivering crisp 640 x 480 thermal video at 30 Hz. Its 14 mm lens provides a 30° horizontal field of view, ideal for perimeter surveillance and early fire detection. Housed in robust aluminum with IP66/IP67 and IK10 ratings, it withstands harsh environments and vandalism. Power via PoE+ or 12 VDC, with H.264/M-JPEG compression, IVA analytics, and MicroSDXC storage up to 2 TB.

Advantages

Detects heat signatures in total darkness, smoke, and challenging weather. The <50 mK NETD ensures fine thermal sensitivity, while Dynamic Contrast Enhancement improves image clarity. Multiple color palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Rainbow) adapt to different scenarios. Built-in Intelligent Video Analytics reduces false alarms and enables advanced detection rules. Dual power options and wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +60 °C) ensure reliability in extreme conditions.

Suitable for

• Perimeter protection for critical infrastructure and industrial sites
• Early fire detection in warehouses, forests, and waste facilities
• Border and coastal surveillance in complete darkness
• Monitoring of areas with poor visibility (fog, dust, smoke)
• Outdoor security requiring vandal-resistant and weatherproof cameras

Recommendations

For mission-critical thermal surveillance, pair this camera with a PoE+ switch and a VMS supporting IVA rules. Position at a height of 3–5 m with a clear line of sight to the monitored area. Use the MicroSDXC card for edge recording as a backup to central storage. Regularly clean the lens and check the housing seals to maintain IP integrity.
