Camera Modules
High-performance Fixed Camera
The high-performance fixed cameras have a 1/3-inch
interline CCD with Bosch’s unique 15-bit Dinion digital
imaging technology to deliver a 32-fold sensitivity
improvement and a full 540 horizontal lines of resolution.
Available in color and day/night versions, these cameras
incorporate a number of features not found in other fixed
dome cameras.
High-performance 18x PTZ Color Camera
The high-performance 18x PTZ color cameras have a 1/4-
inch color CCD. With 470/480 TVL (NTSC/PAL) horizontal
resolution and sensitivity down to 0.5 lux, this camera offers
exceptional performance at an affordable price. A rugged
motor with fewer moving parts mean that this camera uses
less power and is extremely reliable, making it ideal for high-
usage applications.
High-performance 18x and 26x PTZ Day/Night Camera
The high-performance PTZ day/night cameras have
470/480 TVL (NTSC/PAL) horizontal resolution. These
cameras are available with either an 18x or a 26x optical
zoom lens, and all cameras offer a full 12x digital zoom. The
AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and AutoPivot
(automatically rotates and flips the camera) features ensure
optimal control.
High-performance 36x PTZ Day/Night Camera
Bosch offers the industry-leading 36x optical zoom lens
with a full 12x digital zoom. The 36x camera provides a full
540 TVL of horizontal resolution for outstanding clarity and
image detail. The 36x camera also incorporates an
advanced backlight compensation technology that
dramatically improves the dynamic range by 128 times,
resulting in clear image reproduction in extreme high-
contrast environments.
Housing Modules
All housings feature recessed screws and latches for
increased tamper resistance.
AutoDome pendant housings (indoor and outdoor) are
rated to provide IP 66 protection. In addition, the pendant
housings come equipped with a low-impact, high-resolution
acrylic bubble for enhanced image clarity
AutoDome in-ceiling housings provide IP 54 protection and
are rated IK 8 (IEC 62262). These housings feature an
impact-resistant polycarbonate Rugged Bubble to protect
your 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).
Outdoor EnviroDome housings provide an operating
temperature range down to -40°C (-40°F). The optional “XT”
extreme temperature kit allows an AutoDome to operate in
temperatures down to -60°C (-76°F), ensuring reliable
operation in even the harshest environments.
The Pressurized Environmental Housing is rated to provide
IP 67 protection for a VG4 Series AutoDome
®
Modular
Camera System from the elements, both natural and
manmade. It is the ideal surveillance solution for
applications that require frequent wash-down, including
traffic, transit, bridges, tunnels and coastal installations
where salt, moisture, dust, insects and fumes threaten the
long-term operation of the camera.
Communications Modules
Fixed Communications Module
The Fixed Communications Module (standard on the
AutoDome 100 Series) supports a variety of standard video
and data transmission methods, including Bilinx (over coax
and UTP) remote control, configuration, and firmware
updates can also be performed over these cables, offering
you unparalleled control of your cameras.
Standard Analog Communications Module
The Standard Analog Communications Module (standard on
the AutoDome 200 and 300 Series) supports a variety of
data transmission methods, including Bilinx (over coax and
UTP) and fiber. 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.
Alternative Protocol Communications Module
The Alternative Protocol Module allows you to control a VG4
AutoDome from an American Dynamics Manchester or
Sensormatic RS-422 PTZ control device.
TCP/IP Communications Module
The TCP/IP Communications Module is an integral part of
Bosch’s AutoDome Modular Camera System, adding
network connectivity to any AutoDome 100, 200, 300 or
500i Series camera. The TCP/IP module provides complete
network-based control of all dome functionality including
pan/tilt/zoom operation, presets, tours, and alarms as well
as web-based configuration of all dome settings.
