Dinion HD 1080p Camera from Bosch Receives Prestigious Red Dot Award


o Combining advanced technology and top-class design

Munich - For its elaborate and innovative product design, the Dinion HD 1080p Day/Night surveillance camera from Bosch Security Systems has been honored with the red dot award. This is one of the world's largest and most renowned design competition, which this year attracted over 14,000 submissions from 58 countries - 4,515 products alone in the category 'product design'. Following the announcement of the prizes, the award-winning products are put on display in the red dot design museum, and bear the coveted red dot logo for the remainder of their life cycle.

The winning design boasts a completely new casing to accommodate the sophisticated, HD-optimized technology inside. Ad Biemans, Product Marketing Manager at Bosch Security Systems comments: "When monitoring colorful scenes with a large amount of activity, it is essential that you can see every last detail - in terms of both safety and security. Our professional HD cameras let you do exactly this, a fact that has earned us our leading position in the surveillance camera market."

Within the industry, the Dinion HD 1080p is recognized for its best-in-class, Bosch-designed digital imaging technology, resulting in high resolution images even under challenging lighting conditions. The camera uses the latest CMOS-based HD sensor for a sharper, more detailed picture with a 16:9 image format. Multicasting, internet streaming and iSCSI recording (CCTV storage) are all fully supported, while the built-in Intelligent Video Analysis assists operators in monitoring a busy environment with such features as idle object, line crossing, flow detection, and crowd detection.

The red dot recognition of the Dinion HD 1080p reflects the Bosch brand values of advanced technology and design. Together with their professional look and feel, the cameras are manufactured with the utmost attention to detail. The Dinion HD 1080p delivers the same standards of performance and reliability in any security and surveillance scenario, day or night.

The outstanding quality of the Bosch Security Systems design has been repeatedly acknowledged by international award organizations of late. Last year the Dinion HD 1080p scooped up the GOOD DESIGN award, one of the oldest and world's most recognized programs for design excellence. Only recently the camera also won the MTP Gold Medal Award, one of the most prestigious prizes awarded by the organizers of trade fairs in Poland and central Europe.
