The MIC Series 550 camera combines cutting-edge
technology with the latest production techniques to
provide a class-leading feature set in an economical
package. The MIC Series 550 range takes high quality
surveillance to new levels of excellence.
As a best-fit camera for virtually any security
application, it can be installed in the harshest of
environments. Thanks to its IP68-rated aluminum
casing, the MIC Series 550 camera functions perfectly
in the most demanding conditions. This tough and
vandal-resistant casing provides protection from the
elements and physical attack. An integrated long-life
silicone wiper and a reversible rain shield ensure high
quality images regardless of the installed environment.
The brushless-motor technology offers ultra-reliable
operation with full 360º continuous rotation pan and
270º tilt control for exceptional viewing capability.
Small increment pan speeds from just 0.2º per second
to 120º per second gives the user precise control. This
speed control is especially important when used with
video analytic systems, particularly for tracking
subjects when fully zoomed in.
The MIC Series 550 camera incorporates Bosch’s
standard controller interface supporting familiar
AutoDome on-screen menus. This enhancement makes
it simple to integrate and use the MIC Series 550
within systems that already use Bosch AutoDome
cameras and systems.
When powered by a MIC IP Power Supply, the MIC
camera becomes an IP-enabled device with extra
features such as Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), and
the ability to record video on a network-attached RAID
iSCSI storage device or locally on a user-supplied SD
or SDHC card (32 GB maximum). The optional
“hybrid” operation provides video and control of the
MIC camera over both analog (Bilinx over coax) and IP
connections simultaneously. For more information, see
the MIC Series IP Power Supply datasheet on the
online Product Catalog at www.boschsecurity.com.
System overview
Robust design rated to an industry-leading IP68
Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and
immersion tests (IP68), MIC Series cameras are
perfectly suited for installation in even the most
unforgiving environments. Reliable ‘O’ ring seals
completely protect the internal components from the
external environment, meaning that there is no need to
pressurize the camera. To guarantee the seal, the
factory subjects each MIC camera to a 100% leak test
before shipping. In addition, the cameras’ aluminum
