Superior privacy masking
The camera provides 24 individual, easy to configure
privacy masks, with up to 8 displayed in the same
scene. As the camera is zoomed, each mask changes
size smoothly and quickly, ensuring that the covered
object cannot be seen in most cases.
Comprehensive streaming capabilities on Bosch’s
Common Product Platform (CPP4)
The camera has an advanced, efficient H.264 encoder
(CPP4) embedded for DVD-quality streaming video
and very efficient streaming and network capabilities.
The new platform supports simultaneous streaming of
individually configurable SD streams (H.264 and M-
JPEG), and allows a choice of SD resolution.
Recording and storage management
A memory card (SD (Secure Digital), SDHC (Secure
Digital High Capacity), or SDXC (Secure Digital
eXtended Capacity)) can be used for local alarm
recording or for scheduled local recording to improve
the overall recording reliability. Recording
management can be controlled by the Bosch Video
Recording Manager (VRM), or the camera can use
iSCSI targets directly without any recording software.
Advanced networking capabilities
The AUTODOME offers advanced capabilities so you
can configure the camera to take advantage of the
latest networking technology.
The AUTODOME offers Quality of Service (QoS)
configuration options to ensure fast network response
to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is
the set of techniques to manage network resources.
QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter),
bandwidth, and packet loss parameters to guarantee
the ability of a network to deliver predictable results.
QoS identifies the type of data in a data packet and
divides the packets into traffic classes that can be
prioritized for forwarding.
The AUTODOME also supports the IPv6 internet-layer
protocol for packet-switched internetworking across
multiple IP networks. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses
(IPv4 uses 32-bit addressing), which allows for many
more devices and users on the internet as well as
extra flexibility in allocating addresses and efficiency
for routing traffic.
Ease of installation and servicing
The camera has been designed for quick and easy
installation; a key feature from Bosch CCTV products.
All housings feature recessed screws and latches for
increased tamper resistance.
AUTODOME in-ceiling housings provide IP54
protection. With an optional, impact-resistant, rugged
polycarbonate bubble (sold separately), they are rated
IK 8 (IEC 62262) to protect the 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).
Indoor/outdoor pendant housings are rated to provide
IP66 protection and offer an operating temperature
range down to -40 °C (-40 °F). The indoor/outdoor
pendant comes fully assembled with a sunshield and
ready for wall or pipe applications with the proper
mounting hardware (sold separately). In addition, the
camera models with pendant housing come equipped
with a low-impact, high-resolution acrylic bubble for
enhanced image clarity. You can easily convert the
outdoor pendant for indoor applications by removing
the sunshield.
Bosch offers a full complement of hardware and
accessories (sold separately) for wall, corner, mast,
roof, pipe mount, and in-ceiling applications, which
allow the camera to be adapted easily to individual
site requirements.
Video management system support
The camera ships with Bosch Video Client (BVC), an
easy-to-use software from Bosch that is suitable for
midsize installations. For large enterprise systems,
AUTODOME cameras can be used with Bosch Video
Management System (BVMS), which allows enhanced
video management and viewing capabilities.
In addition, the camera is supported/integrated into all
of the leading third party video management systems.
ONVIF conformant
The AUTODOME Series conforms to the ONVIF Profile
S specification allowing easy integration with the
conformant devices and VMS.
For more information about ONVIF, visit
www.onvif.org.
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network
Video Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. ONVIF conformant devices
are able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and
control information. They are automatically discovered
and connected to network applications such as video
management systems.
Fiber Optic Kit
Bosch offers the optional VG4-SFPSCKT, a unique
media converter module for use with AUTODOME
cameras. This media converter module is designed to
accept a wide-range of 10/100 Mbps SFP modules for
use with Multimode or Singlemode optical fiber with
LC or SC connectors.
The media converter module along with the SFP
module is user-installed directly into the camera‘s
power supply box to provide an integrated fiber optic
solution.
Unsurpassed reliability
As with all Bosch products, the AUTODOME Series has
been subjected to the industry’s most comprehensive
and demanding battery of endurance tests such as
HALT (highly accelerated life testing) to make sure it
will hold up through years of use. And of course, it
comes with Bosch’s industry-leading 3-year warranty.
