AutoDome 300 Series PTZ Camera System
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. 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
▶ High-speed PTZ dome
▶ Fully interchangeable CPUs, cameras, housings,
communications, and mounts
▶ Choice of 540 TVL 36x day/night night camera with
128x wide dynamic range or 26x and 18x day/night
cameras
▶ Optional hybrid operation provides simultaneous
analog (coax) and IP connectivity
▶ Advanced privacy masking
▶ Advanced alarm control with rules engine
▶ UTP transmission standard on all analog models
▶ Cable compensation extends cabling distances
▶ Multi-protocol capable
▶ Three-year warranty
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.
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 18x, 26x,
and the industry-leading 36x 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.
