Q: How far can Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS see clearly?

The recommended effective range of Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS is approximately 4 meters (DORI Recognize threshold, ≥125 px/m on the target). At this distance the 0.1MP (320×240) sensor provides enough pixel density to describe a person's actions and clothing; identify-grade detail requires roughly half this distance.

About the Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS

The Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS is a tinted-bubble dome that obscures the lens direction, deterring tampering and vandalism. Sub-megapixel resolution is suitable only for general overview footage — useful for movement detection but insufficient for facial recognition or license-plate reading. 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 standard 50–80° horizontal FOV mimics how a person sees a scene and works well for general-purpose monitoring of rooms, parking spaces, and perimeter walls without distortion.

Best use cases for this camera

General surveillance

Suited to general-purpose monitoring tasks within 4 meters of the mounting point with 51° of horizontal coverage.

Strengths

•Vandal-resistant dome housing harder to tamper with than bullet form factor

Considerations

•Resolution limits forensic digital zoom — recorded faces beyond ~12m may not be identifiable
•No built-in IR — requires external illumination for night use

Installation tips for the FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS

Ceiling-mount at 2.5–3.5 m for indoor use; for vandal-prone outdoor locations use a wall mount with the lens facing outward and downward.

Coverage geometry & DORI distances

At a 5-metre standoff the Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS covers about 4.8 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 9.5 m, and at 20 m to 19.1 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 18 m, observe up to 7 m, recognise up to 4 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 2 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 7.5mm lens declared by the manufacturer.

Power & cabling

The Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS draws an estimated 5.5 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. Even a narrowly-aimed dome camera can incidentally record passers-by, so the Art. 13 sign at the entry point applies regardless of how tightly the lens is framed.

Installer time & cost (rough estimate)

A typical EU installer quotes 3–4 h of labour per dome camera of this class (approximately €135–€185 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 Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes for the IP66/IP67-rated variant of this model. Bullet and dome bodies in the Bosch range survive direct rain, snow and UV; check the IP / IK rating against your environment (IP66 for rain/dust, IK10 for vandal-prone locations).

What PoE class powers the Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS?

The camera draws roughly 5.5 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 Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS consume per day?

At 0.1MP (320×240) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS produces approximately 2 GB per day — about 60 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 Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS identify a person?

Per EN 62676-4:2025 pixel-density thresholds, this camera identifies (≥ 250 px/m on the target) up to about 2 m, recognises a person up to 4 m, observes general activity up to 7 m, and detects motion up to 18 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 Bosch FLEXIDOME IP thermal 9000i NHT-9000-F07QS use?

Typical ingest is 2 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.
