AutoDome 300 Series PTZ Camera System | 3

Tri-streaming video
Bosch’s innovative tri-streaming feature enables
AutoDomes equipped with the optional IP communications
module to generate independent streams simultaneously.
This feature allows you to stream high-quality images for live
viewing while recording at a reduced frame rate, and at the
same time, stream images to a remote PDA device.
Unsurpassed reliability
All housings feature recessed screws and latches for
increased tamper resistance.
AutoDome pendant housings (indoor and outdoor) are
rated to provide IP 66 protection. In addition, the pendant
housings come equipped with a low-impact, high-resolution
acrylic bubble for enhanced image clarity
AutoDome in-ceiling housings provide IP 54 protection and
are rated IK 8 (IEC 62262). These housings feature an
impact-resistant polycarbonate Rugged Bubble to protect
your camera from vandalism. The Rugged Bubble can
withstand impacts equivalent to a 4.5 kg (10 lb) weight
dropped from a height of 3 m (10 ft).
Outdoor EnviroDome housings provide an operating
temperature range down to -40°C (-40°F). The optional “XT”
extreme temperature kit allows an AutoDome to operate in
temperatures down to -60°C (-76°F), ensuring reliable
operation in even the harshest environments.
The Pressurized Environmental Housing is rated to provide
IP 67 protection for a VG4 Series AutoDome

Modular

Camera System from the elements, both natural and
manmade. It is the ideal surveillance solution for
applications that require frequent wash-down, including
traffic, transit, bridges, tunnels and coastal installations
where salt, moisture, dust, insects and fumes threaten the
long-term operation of the camera.
Ease of installation and servicing
Bosch’s innovative software, the Configuration Tool for
Imaging Devices (CTFID), allows operators or technicians
to control the PTZ, change camera settings, and even
update firmware from virtually anywhere without need for
additional wiring. For the new Ethernet versions, an
embedded Web server lets the installer access all the user
settings, make camera adjustments, and update firmware
via a standard Web browser.

AutoDome’s innovative design simplifies installation and
servicing. AutoDome reduces maintenance costs because
you can replace individual modules instead of entire camera
assemblies. Simply pop out the old module and slide in the
new: it’s almost as easy as changing a light bulb. All tethers
have been replaced with hinges, making installation and
servicing safer and easier. You can even access the built-in
power supply without taking down the dome.

The AutoDome 300 Series has advanced built-in diagnostics
to simplify service and minimize downtime. Using the On
Screen Display (OSD), a technician can quickly and easily
check critical parameters (such as internal temperature and
input voltage level) to verify that the dome is functioning
within acceptable operating limits. If video is not present, a
local inspection of three diagnostic LEDs at the camera site
can identify the presence of video and control data.
