About the Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA
The Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA is a multi-sensor panoramic body that replaces several traditional cameras with one seamless image. 5MP resolution sharpens the image well past 1080p — facial identification extends to roughly 20 meters and retroactive digital zoom on recorded footage stays crisp, without the storage and bandwidth cost of a full 4K stream. There is no built-in IR illuminator on this model, so it depends entirely on ambient light. In dark environments, pair it with external IR floods or white-light illuminators. A narrow field of view trades coverage area for pixel density at distance — the right choice when you need to read faces or plates far from the camera, e.g., long corridors, gate approaches, ANPR installations.
Best use cases for this camera
Long corridor & aisle monitoring
The 35° narrow angle is intentionally tuned for corridor work — it concentrates pixel density along the length of the hallway rather than wasting resolution on the side walls. Mount at the far end facing along the corridor.
Single-camera room coverage
A single panoramic camera replaces 3–4 conventional cameras when ceiling-mounted in the center of an open space. Ideal for retail floors, classrooms, and small warehouses where simplification of cabling and licensing matters.
License plate / ANPR
The combination of 35° narrow angle and 4.7MP (2880×1620) resolution provides the pixel density required for ANPR at typical lane widths, especially when paired with proper lane lighting and perpendicular mounting.
Strengths
- •4.7MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •Single-camera coverage of full rooms reduces cabling and licensing cost
- •37m effective range supports outdoor perimeter and parking-lot deployments
Considerations
- •No built-in IR — requires external illumination for night use
- •Narrow angle requires more cameras to cover wide areas — plan camera count accordingly
- •Fisheye distortion requires dewarping in software for natural viewing angles

Field of View Visualization
Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 4.7MP (2880×1620) resolution at 35° field of view. Effective identification range up to 15m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 0m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the Bolide BN8108R/NDAA
Center-ceiling mount at 2.7–3.5 m gives the most uniform coverage; corner mounts work but waste roughly 25% of the field of view on the wall.
Plan cabling for multiple cameras to cover wide areas — at 35° you cover roughly 6 m of width per camera at 10 m distance.
Plan storage at roughly 19 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps — verify NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
At a 5-metre standoff the Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA covers about 3.2 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 6.3 m, and at 20 m to 12.6 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 183 m, observe up to 73 m, recognise up to 37 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 18 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 2.8-12mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA draws an estimated 12.0 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 100 m end-to-end — beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.
Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)
Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland) — Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. Panoramic / fisheye coverage almost always captures more than the controller intended — schedule a privacy mask review after install to blur out staff-only areas, neighbouring premises and any glass that admits a view of third parties.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 4–5 h of labour per panoramic camera of this class (approximately €180–€230 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.
Indicative EU 2024-2025 pricing — actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA suitable for outdoor installation?
Most panoramic units in the Bolide catalogue are IP66/IK10 rated for outdoor use — verify the exact suffix in the model code (e.g. "-W" for weather-rated). Mount under an eave or recessed canopy where possible: direct rainfall on the dome causes droplets that distort the wide-angle image.
What PoE class powers the Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA?
The camera draws roughly 12.0 W in steady-state operation, requiring a 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) switch port. A single Cat6 STP cable carries both data and power up to 100 m — beyond that, add an inline extender or convert to fibre near the camera.
How much storage does the Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA consume per day?
At 4.7MP (2880×1620) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the Bolide BN8108R/NDAA produces approximately 19 GB per day — about 570 GB per month. Motion-only or event-triggered recording typically cuts that by 40–70 % depending on scene activity. Plan NVR HDD capacity for the longest retention period required by your privacy policy or insurance contract.
Up to what distance can the Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA identify a person?
Per EN 62676-4:2025 pixel-density thresholds, this camera identifies (≥ 250 px/m on the target) up to about 18 m, recognises a person up to 37 m, observes general activity up to 73 m, and detects motion up to 183 m. Identification distance assumes daylight or full IR illumination on the target — at the limits of the IR cone the effective identify distance shrinks roughly 30 %.
What network bandwidth does Bolide Bolide BN8108R/NDAA use?
Typical ingest is 7 Mbps for the main stream (H.265, medium scene complexity, 15 fps) plus ~0.5 Mbps for a low-resolution sub-stream used by mobile clients. For a 16-camera installation of this class, plan a 50–100 Mbps NVR uplink and a dedicated VLAN for camera traffic.
