High definition camera, 5 MP, H.265, day/night, VCA, WDR/HDR, PoE, motor-driven varifocal lens, motorized 3-axis adjustment (PTRZ), variable mounting concept
The camera must be installed in a vandal-resistant dome housing for installation in suspended ceilings that has an IK10 impact resistance rating. Associated adapters shall allow easy and visually appealing surface mounting of the camera on walls and ceilings. 
The camera's modular housing system must offer an adapter that allows the camera to be easily and robustly mounted on poles or walls outdoors. In this combination, the camera must meet the requirements of protection class IP66.
For easy alignment of the lens after mounting, the camera must be internally equipped with an electronic gimbal (Remote Positioning Dome - RPoD/PTZR). The gimbal must be controllable over the network using the camera's configuration interface in a common web browser. The remote gimbal must allow precise alignment of the lens with the scene to be captured. Fast and uncomplicated adjustment to changed scenes must also be possible during operation. 
The camera must have an option for homogeneous IR illumination discreetly integrated in the housing ring, and thus outside the dome. The illumination shall consist of multiple LEDs and provide a range of up to 30 m in each direction. The IR illumination shall be capable of being manually or automatically adjusted to the scene being captured. In automatic mode, the orientation and intensity of the illumination must be dynamically determined based on the position of the lens and exposure control. In addition, the camera must have ambient light detection and an IR cut filter (ICR) that can be pivoted. Presets for image capture must be able to switch automatically between day and night.
The camera must be offered in two versions with motorized P-Iris varifocal lenses (3-10 mm and 12-40 mm). These must support adjustment of focal length (zoom) and focus (including one-push autofocus) over the network using the camera's configuration interface in a common web browser. It must be possible to make the settings during operation and without manual action at the mounting location.
The camera must be equipped with a sealed off and hardened Linux operating system with Long Term Support. In addition to the established security functions according to the current state of IoT technology (unnecessary ports deactivated ex works, enforcement of strict passwords, user management with four-eye login, etc.), the software must support secure network authentication according to the IEEE 802.1X standard and allow encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.2 / AES 256 bit). The manufacturer must clearly have cyber security concerns in mind and regularly subject the software to internal and independent penetration tests. Updates to close known gaps or to optimize functions must be made available over the entire lifetime of the product (at least 5 years). The installation of updates must be possible free of charge in the first year of operation of the camera and can be carried out against payment in the subsequent years of operation, provided that the manufacturer offers system maintenance that can be individually planned for each camera.
The camera has to offer the option for video content analysis (VCA) on site that detects movements and objects in the uncompressed image and analyzes them with functions such as intrusion detection or line crossing. The detected objects and the corresponding metadata have to be transmitted with the video stream to a suitable recording system to be stored in a database. Suitable client software has to be offered, that allows the targeted search and evaluation of the recordings.
The camera must be equipped with a RAM memory that is automatically used to store the video stream in the event of a temporary network failure (e.g. spanning tree, bursts). It must be possible to expand this memory with an SDXC card. When the network is restored, the camera shall automatically send the stored video stream to the recording system with priority and resume regular operation after this buffer is emptied. The manufacturer must offer a compatible recording system to use this function.
The camera shall be designed with a rugged aluminum housing for commercial and industrial indoor use with 24/7/365 continuous operation.
