2 | AutoDome® 300 Series PTZ Camera System

The optional IP Communications Module has hybrid

functionality to protect your current analog technology

investment while providing a clear and stable migration

path to fully digital, IP-based solutions. This allows you to

move to IP video at your own pace – all at once or one

camera at a time. And since all AutoDome modules are

completely interchangeable, there is no need to replace

expensive components (e.g., cameras) or labor-intensive

components (e.g., mounts and housings).

Functions

The following are some of the features that make the

AutoDome 300 Series the most flexible PTZ dome camera

systems in the security industry.

High-performance PTZ day/night cameras

Image control and quality are integral aspects of any PTZ

dome system, and the AutoDome delivers. The 300 Series

is available with a choice of 18x, 26x, or an industry-leading

36x optical zoom lens, and all 300 Series systems offer a full

12x digital zoom. The 18x and 26x cameras provide 470 TVL

(NTSC/PAL), and the 36x camera provides a full 540 TVL of

horizontal resolution for outstanding clarity and image

detail. The 36x camera also incorporates technology that

dramatically improves the dynamic range by 128 times. Also

known as WDR (wide-dynamic range), it results in clear

image reproduction in extreme high-contrast environments.

The patented AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and

AutoPivot (automatically rotates and flips the camera)

ensure optimal control.

Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make

300 Series cameras exceptional performers in all lighting

conditions. In low light, these cameras automatically switch

from color to monochrome by removing the IR filter to boost

infrared illumination sensitivity, while maintaining superior

image quality. For operation in the darkest conditions, the

SensUp control feature automatically extends the shutter

speed to as much as one second. This increases sensitivity

by more than 50 times.

With super-quick, 360° per-second pan and tilt speeds, the

AutoDome 300 Series outperforms other domes in its class.

The 300 Series supports 99 pre-positions and two styles of

guard tours: preset and record/playback. The preset tour

can handle up to 99 pre-positions with a configurable dwell

time between pre-positions; the order and frequency with

which each preset is visited can be customized. The

AutoDome 300 Series also provides support for two

recorded tours, which have a combined duration of 15

minutes of movement. These are recorded macros of an

operator’s movements, including pan, tilt, and zoom

activities, and can be played back continuously.

Supported menu languages include: English, French,

German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and Polish.

Alarm management

The AutoDome 300 Series takes alarm handling to new

levels of flexibility and power.

Inputs and outputs

The AutoDome 300 Series can handle seven alarm inputs:

two of these are analog inputs that can be programmed for

EOLR (End-of-Line Resistor) supervision whenever true

security applications require it. These inputs enable the

dome to “sense” if the contact is opened or closed and

whether the wire has been tampered with (either by being

cut or shorted). In addition, the AutoDome 300 Series

supports four outputs: one relay rated at two amps and

three additional open collectors for driving external

devices. Each can be programmed individually.

Advanced alarm control

This new concept in flexibility goes beyond simple alarm

handling. Advanced alarm control uses sophisticated rules-

based logic to determine how to manage alarms. In its most

basic form, a “rule” could define which input(s) should

activate which output(s). In a more complex form, inputs

and outputs can be combined with pre-defined or user-

specified keyboard commands to perform advanced dome

functions. There is virtually no limit to the number of

combinations that you can program, making the standard

software in the dome ready for any application.

Superior privacy masking

The AutoDome 300 Series allows for a total of 24 individual

privacy masks, with up to eight displayed in the same scene.

Unlike conventional privacy masks, these can each be

programmed with three, four, or even five corners to cover

more complex shapes. As the camera is zoomed each mask

changes size smoothly and quickly ensuring that the

covered object cannot be seen. You also have a choice of

colors: black, white, and blurred. Blurred comes in handy

when privacy is an issue, but determining the presence of

motion is still required.

Optional hybrid analog/IP operation

Optional hybrid connectivity allows the AutoDome to

simultaneously stream IP video across a local or wide area

network, and CVBS video via coaxial cabling to support

existing analog equipment. Network video streams are sent

over IP networks and can be viewed with the Bosch DiBos

Digital Video Recorder or on a PC running VIDOS video

management software. Alternatively, a Bosch IP video

decoder can be used to display the video on an analog CVBS

or VGA monitor. For maximum accessibility, video can be

viewed using a Web browser. The BNC connection provides

direct input to a conventional analog matrix switcher or
