Introduction

Bosch’s AutoDome modular camera system is a

revolutionar y new concept in dome cameras. More than just

a series of cameras, it’s a dome platform built around a

system of intelligent, interchangeable modules that allow

you to update camera functionality quickly and cost-

effectively. Using common components lets you install a

basic camera system today and migrate to a more advanced

version tomorrow – without having to replace the entire

dome, thus protecting your initial investment.

Interchangeable modules

The entire AutoDome system is based on five

interchangeable modules: the CPU, camera, housing,

communications, and power supply. Simply swap one of

AutoDome’s interchangeable modules and quickly upgrade

from analog to IP, color to day/night, or add motion

detection and image stabilization. Never before have you

had the ability to adapt a security system to your changing

needs this quickly or inexpensively.

By using the same housing components, all installations

have a consistent look, and observers have no idea which

type of camera (if any) is watching over them. This unique,

modular design also gives you the flexibility to move

cameras between different housings when special coverage

is needed, or as site plan requirements change. For

example, an 18x PTZ camera over a specific area could

easily be “hot-swapped” to a 26x day/night without

removing the power.

Migrating from a basic dome to one with advanced features

such as AutoTrack II intelligent tracking can be done quickly

and easily, without requiring dome removal or rewiring.

AutoDome’s Ethernet communications module allows you

to add IP functionality while maintaining connectivity to

existing analog inputs and outputs.

300 Series highlights

The AutoDome 300 Series includes support for both 18x

and 26x day/night PTZ cameras, and several advanced

features – including an alarm management “rules” engine

and privacy masking.

The AutoDome 300 Series supports a variety of standard

and optional video and data transmission methods,

including Bilinx (over coax and UTP), fiber, and even TCP/IP

over Ethernet. Remote control, configuration, and firmware

updates can also be performed over these cables, offering

you unparalleled control of your cameras. Cable

compensation provides extended coaxial and UTP distance

runs while preventing the image quality degradation caused

by signal losses from long cable lengths.
