camera, are sold separately. The camera can be
installed upright or inverted. No matter the installation
position, the camera will operate faultlessly.
Bosch’s Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices
(CTFID) allows users to control the PTZ, change
camera settings, and update firmware from remote
locations without need for additional wiring.
The camera 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) to verify that the camera is functioning
within acceptable operating limits.
Integrated long-life silicone wiper
Thanks to its integrated wiper, the MIC612 is able to
capture the highest possible quality image regardless
of the weather.
