Bosch’s AutoDome modular camera system is a
revolutionary 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, image stabilization, and AutoTrack.
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 or 36x day/night
without removing the power. AutoDome’s Ethernet
communications module allows you to add IP functionality
while maintaining connectivity to existing analog inputs
and outputs.
500i Series highlights
AutoDome 500i Series adds real intelligence to your video
surveillance applications. Equipped with AutoTrack II the
latest version of Bosch’s award-winning motion tracking
software, built-in image stabilization, motion detection,
and a sophisticated alarm handling “rules” engine, the
AutoDome 500i Series incorporates advanced, intelligent
video features unmatched by any other camera system.
The AutoDome 500i 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.
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 500i 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 500i Series
is available with a choice of 18x, 26x, and the industry-
leading 36x optical zoom lens, and all 500i Series systems
offer a full 12x digital zoom. The 18x and 26x cameras
provide 470 TVL (NTSC) or 480 TVL (PAL), and the 36x
camera provides a full 540 TVL of horizontal resolution for
