Bosch MICRO DOME 2MP HDR 137 2.49 IP66 IK10 - NUE-3702-F02-GOV

Bosch NUE-3702-F02-GOV Micro Dome 2MP HDR Wide-Angle IP Camera

Overview

The Bosch NUE-3702-F02-GOV is a 2MP micro dome camera built around a fixed 2.49mm f/1.7 lens that delivers a 137° horizontal field of view — wide enough to cover an entire room corner-to-corner, or a corridor end-to-end, from a single ceiling mount. At 480g and 123mm across, it installs unobtrusively in lobbies, retail floors, stairwells, and small perimeter zones where a larger dome would be visually intrusive or overkill. IP66 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance qualify it for outdoor soffits, covered entryways, and vandal-exposed indoor environments. If you're sourcing through GSA or a government procurement vehicle, the Bosch Security camera line GOV suffix indicates government-channel SKU positioning.

Key Features

• 137° Horizontal Field of View: The 2.49mm f/1.7 lens produces one of the widest fixed fields in the micro-dome class. A single camera can cover a 20-foot-wide retail aisle or a full elevator lobby without blind corners — that's one camera where a narrower optic would require two, cutting installation labor and licensing costs.
• H.265/HEVC Compression: H.265 cuts storage and bandwidth requirements roughly 40–50% compared to H.264 at equivalent quality. On a 24/7 deployment with a 2TB edge card inserted, that compression difference translates directly into days of additional on-board retention before overwrite — meaningful for investigations without a dedicated NVR on every location.
• Up to 2TB MicroSD Edge Storage: Onboard card storage up to 2TB gives this camera genuine standalone recording capability. For remote or network-constrained sites, edge recording means footage is available locally even during WAN outages — no NVR required for basic retention use cases.
• H.264 / H.265 / M-JPEG Triple Codec Support: Running parallel streams in different codecs lets you feed a high-efficiency H.265 recording stream to your network video recorder while simultaneously delivering an M-JPEG stream to a legacy VMS or web client that can't decode H.265 — no transcoding overhead on the server side.
• PoE 802.3af/802.3at, 3.2W–4.5W: Drawing as little as 3.2W at typical load, this camera won't strain your PoE switch budget. A standard 802.3af port (max 15.4W) can run this camera with headroom to spare. No auxiliary power supply, no separate power run — just one cable per camera.
• IP66 Environmental Rating: IP66 means the camera is fully protected against high-pressure water jets and dust ingress — suitable for covered outdoor mounting, car wash adjacencies, and food-service areas where periodic hose-down cleaning occurs. Not rated for submersion; if you need underwater or wash-down pit coverage, step up to IP67 or IP68.
• IK10 Vandal Resistance: IK10 is the highest standard impact rating, withstanding 20 joules of impact force — equivalent to a deliberate hammer blow. In detention facilities, school corridors, and public transit installations where camera tampering is a documented risk, IK10 is the correct specification to specify, not a nice-to-have.
• -30°C to 50°C Operating Range: The rated temperature floor of -30°C (-22°F) covers unheated storage areas, northern exterior mounting, and cold-chain warehouse environments without a heater option or enclosure upgrade. At the high end, 50°C handles direct-sun exterior exposure in most North American climates.
• ONVIF Profile S, G, M, T: Four ONVIF profiles means broad compatibility with third-party VMS platforms out of the box. Profile G covers edge recording interoperability; Profile T adds H.265 and metadata streaming. Most enterprise VMS platforms — Milestone, Genetec, Avigilon, Exacq — negotiate these profiles automatically on discovery.
• 1–30 fps Variable Frame Rate: The adjustable frame rate from 1 fps through 30 fps lets you tune bandwidth per scene. A parking lot camera at 10 fps consumes significantly less bandwidth than 30 fps with no meaningful loss in evidentiary value for slow-moving subjects — useful when you're aggregating dozens of cameras over a constrained uplink.

Integration & Compatibility

ONVIF Profile S, G, M, and T conformance makes the NUE-3702-F02-GOV interoperable with virtually any modern enterprise VMS. The dual PoE standard support (802.3af and 802.3at) means the camera negotiates correctly with both standard and high-power PoE switches — no manual power class configuration needed in most deployments. The GOV model designation aligns with government procurement requirements; verify TAA compliance and NDAA Section 889 status with Bosch directly for your specific contract vehicle before committing at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What VMS platforms is the NUE-3702-F02-GOV compatible with?

A: The camera supports ONVIF Profile S, G, M, and T, which covers automatic discovery and interoperability with Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon Control Center, Exacq, and most other enterprise VMS platforms that implement ONVIF. Verify driver availability with your specific VMS vendor for the latest firmware.

Q: Does the NUE-3702-F02-GOV require a separate power supply?

A: No. It draws 3.2W to 4.5W via standard PoE (802.3af) or PoE+ (802.3at) — a single Ethernet cable handles both data and power. No separate power injector or local supply is needed.

Q: What is the maximum local storage capacity on the NUE-3702-F02-GOV?

A: The camera supports a microSD or compatible memory card up to 2TB, enabling significant on-board recording capacity — useful for edge-only deployments or as a failover buffer when network connectivity is disrupted.

Q: Is the NUE-3702-F02-GOV suitable for outdoor installation?

A: Yes. IP66 protects against rain and high-pressure water jets, and the operating temperature range extends to -30°C (-22°F), making it viable for covered exterior mounting in most climates. IK10 impact resistance adds protection against physical tampering.

Q: What is the horizontal field of view, and is the lens adjustable?

A: The NUE-3702-F02-GOV uses a fixed 2.49mm f/1.7 lens with a 137° horizontal field of view. The lens is not varifocal — the scene coverage is set at manufacturing. This wide angle suits area-overview applications; it is not intended for narrow-corridor or license-plate-detail use cases.

Q: What video compression formats does this camera support?

A: It encodes in H.265/HEVC, H.264, and M-JPEG simultaneously. H.265 is recommended for primary recording to maximize storage efficiency; M-JPEG streams are available for legacy clients or frame-accurate forensic export.
