Specifications
About the Bosch DINION IP 3000i NBE-3503-21
The Bosch DINION IP 3000i NBE-3503-21 is a long-distance bullet body that mounts cleanly under eaves, on poles, or along fencelines. 4K (8MP) resolution roughly quadruples 1080p pixel density, pushing usable identification distance past 25 meters and giving forensic-grade digital zoom on archived footage. A short-range IR illuminator (≤20 m) handles entrance vestibules, indoor corridors, and small enclosed spaces. Beyond 20 meters the IR fall-off causes faces to lose detail in pure darkness. An ultra-wide angle (>120°) captures nearly an entire scene from one position, but pixels per meter drops sharply at the edges, so identification at the periphery is limited.
Best use cases for this camera
Entrance, lobby & vestibule
The 180° field of view captures the entire entrance and surrounding waiting area from a single ceiling mount. Useful for capturing visitors as they enter and leave.
Strengths
- •5MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •180° wide field of view reduces the number of cameras needed per area
Considerations
- •Short IR range limits night usability to indoor or close-proximity scenarios
- •Edge distortion and reduced peripheral pixel density limit identification at the corners of the frame

Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 5.0MP (2592×1944) resolution at 180° field of view. Effective identification range up to 20m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 15m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the DINION IP 3000i NBE-3503-21
Pair with low-cost ambient lighting (motion-triggered LED floods) to extend usable identification distance beyond the IR limit.
Position so the most important subject (entrance, cash register, gate) is in the center third of the frame — peripheral pixel density drops with wide angles.
Plan storage at roughly 20 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps — verify NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.
