Specifications
About the Bosch DINION IP 4000i IR NBE-4502-AL
The Bosch DINION IP 4000i IR NBE-4502-AL is a weather-sealed bullet housing optimized for perimeter, parking, and exterior building installations. At 1080p the camera produces detail dense enough to identify faces inside ~10 meters and read European license plates inside 8 meters under daylight conditions. A 50–80 m IR range turns this into a true night-perimeter camera — open yards, fenced lots, and rural properties become practical use cases without supplemental lighting. A wide 80–120° angle covers a large room or open area from a single mounting position, making it ideal for retail floors, conference rooms, and small parking lots.
Best use cases for this camera
Outdoor perimeter & fenceline
With 60m IR reach and 2.1MP (1920×1080) resolution, this camera covers fences, yards, and approach roads in complete darkness. Mount on poles or eaves at 4–6 m height angled slightly downward.
Parking lot & open yard
The 100° field of view spans roughly 95 meters at the camera's effective range — wide enough to monitor multiple parking rows from a single mounting point.
Entrance, lobby & vestibule
The 100° 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
- •60m IR range eliminates the need for external night-time illuminators
- •100° wide field of view reduces the number of cameras needed per area
- •40m effective range supports outdoor perimeter and parking-lot deployments
Considerations
- •No notable limitations for the intended class of installations

Installation tips for the DINION IP 4000i IR NBE-4502-AL
Mount at 4–6 m height angled 10–20° downward — high enough to deter tampering, low enough to preserve face detail at 28m.
Avoid mounting under direct ceiling lights or behind glass — both reflect IR back into the lens and create severe glare in the image.
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.
