Bosch Security Systems Operation Manual 2013.07 | 1.2.2 | F.01U.283.679

Connection in Applications

24 VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate with a limited power source. The unit

is intended to operate at 24 VAC (if High PoE is not available). User supplied wiring must be in
compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
High Power-over-Ethernet (High PoE): This unit can by powered via High PoE. To power the
unit this way, use only approved High PoE devices – those offered or recommended by Bosch.
High PoE can be connected at the same time as a 24 VAC power supply. If auxiliary power
(24 VAC to camera and to heater) and High PoE are applied simultaneously, the camera
usually selects auxiliary input (24 VAC) and will usually draw minimal power from the Bosch
High PoE midspan.
For pendant models used in outdoor applications that require heaters, a Bosch High PoE 60W
midspan (NPD-6001A, sold separately) is required to power both the camera and its internal
heaters.
For in-ceiling or indoor pendant applications that don’t require heater power, standard PoE+
(802.3at) midspans or switches can be used to power the camera.

System overview

The AUTODOME 7000 Series camera includes the following functionality:

Function Description

Video Encoding The camera uses the H.264 compression standards and ensures that the

data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be
adapted to local conditions within wide limits.

Streaming Encodes multiple data streams simultaneously according to individually

customized profiles. This feature creates data streams that can serve
different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for recording and
one (1) data stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area
Network (LAN).

Multicast Enables simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers. The

network must implement the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols as a
prerequisite for Multicasting.

Configuration Allows configuration for all camera settings from a Web browser on the

local network (Intranet) or on the Internet. You can also update the
firmware, load device configurations, store configuration settings, and
copy these settings from one camera to another.

Intelligent
Tracking

Continuously follows an individual. Intelligent Tracking operates by
recognizing an individual in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50%
of the field of view for an average target height of six feet.

Snapshots Allows you to take and store individual video frames as JPEG images

from the Web browser interface.

Record Allows configuration for the recording options of the IP module. You can

record video from the Livepage to a hard drive or to a customer-provided
SD card.

Playback Allows playback of stored video from a customer-provided SD card.

Pre-installation Checklist

1. Determine the location and distance for the power supply box based on its voltage and
current consumption.
You may choose to route the main power supply through an intermediate power supply
box (VG4-PSU1 or VG4-PSU2) before connecting the power to the pendant arm power
supply box (VG4-PA0).

Caution!

Select a rigid mounting location to prevent excessive vibration to the camera.

2. Use only UL-listed liquid tight strain reliefs for conduits to the Power Supply Box to
ensure that water cannot enter the box. You must use water tight conduits and fittings to
meet NEMA 4 standards.

3. Purchase the appropriate mounting hardware to use, depending on the location of the
camera, either wall mount, corner mount, or mast (pole) mount.
If your application contains a Power Supply Box, refer to Mount Power Supply Box (Wall,
Mast (Pole), and Corner Mounts), page 22.
If you are using the Mounting Plate with a 24 V AUTODOME camera, refer to Installing the
VGA-PEND-WPLATE, page 33.

Stabilization

Surveillance cameras are susceptible to vibrations caused by wind or vibrations emanating
from the medium to which the camera is attached. Cameras attached to a pole, roof, or to a
bridge are especially vulnerable. Bosch offers the following recommendations to stabilize an
AUTODOME 7000 and to decrease the affects of vibration on transmitted images, privacy
masks, and Intelligent Tracking.

Pole and Mast Mounts

– Use a pendant arm with the Pole Mount Adapter (VG4-A-9541).

– Do not attach a parapet mount to a pole or mast.

– Use a pole designed specifically for CCTV cameras:

– Do not use a tapered pole.
– Do not use a pole that has signs or other equipment attached.

– Consult EPA rating / Wind load data to select an appropriate pole.

Roof Mounts

– Mount the camera in the most stable location on the roof.
– Avoid locations affected by vibrations such as those caused by a rooftop air conditioner.
– Use guy wires to stabilize the AUTODOME against strong winds.
– Use the LTC 9230/01 Flat Roof Mount Adapter where appropriate. This adapter is made

specifically for AUTODOME roof applications.

Extreme Mount Applications

Unique camera mounting applications that are impacted by extreme high winds, heavy traffic,
or other conditions may require additional measures to stabilize the camera. Contact a
manufacturer that specializes in passive vibration suppression using either damping or
isolation.

Installing the Roof Parapet and Pipe Mounts

Description

This chapter details how to install an AUTODOME camera to a Roof Parapet or to a Pipe
mount. Any differences to the installation between these two mounting systems are noted.
The VGA-ROOF-MOUNT is a stationary mount intended for rooftop parapet vertical walls. It is
made of light weight aluminum with a corrosion-resistant finish and is used for all Bosch
AUTODOME cameras up to a rated load of 29 kg (64 lb). This mount can be fitted to the inside
or outside of parapet walls and can swivel for ease of positioning and for servicing the camera.
Note that customers must purchase separately the VG4-A-9543 Pipe Mount to use on the end
of the VGA-ROOF-MOUNT.
The end of the Pipe Mount that is meant to terminate into an enclosure is intended to be field­installed and shall be marked or provided with instructions that identify the equipment
necessary to maintain the environmental integrity of the enclosure. In order to maintain the
integrity of a Type 4X environment, the connected equipment must have a Type 4X
environmental rating. In order to maintain the integrity of a Type 4 environment, the
connected equipment must have a Type 4, Type 4X, Type 6, or Type 6P environmental rating.

Route Wires and Attach Connectors

Power wires must be routed to the left (front) side of the Power Supply Box through a
separate electrically earth-grounded conduit. All video, control, and alarm wires must be
routed through a second electrically earth-grounded conduit to the right side of the box.

Warning!

External interconnecting cables are to be installed in accordance to NEC, ANSI/NFPA70 (for
US application) and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 (for CAN application) and in
accordance to local country codes for all other countries.
Branch circuit protection incorporating a 20 A, 2-pole Listed Circuit Breaker or Branch Rated
Fuses are required as part of the building installation. A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect
device with a contact separation of at least 3 mm (0.12 in.) must be incorporated.

There are two possible methods to route the video, control, and alarm wires:
Method One is to route the video, control, and alarm wires through the conduit fitting on the
right (front) side of the Power Supply Box and out to the AUTODOME Interface Board.

from the housing for no more than five (5) minutes.

Remove the bubble from an in-ceiling housing

1. Loosen the lockscrew (item 1 in the illustration below) in the trim ring using a P1 or
smaller Phillips screwdriver until the bubble can rotate freely.

2. Then rotate the bubble counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn until it releases from the
In-Ceiling Housing. See the figure below for an illustration.

Figure 10.1: Bubble Release Screw

3. Remove the foam inserts surrounding the camera module.

Remove the bubble from a pendant housing

1. Using both hands, apply a firm counterclockwise (looking up at the dome) rotational
force on the Pendant Bubble Assembly to set the bubble latch.

2. Insert a small (2 mm) straight blade screw driver into the release opening in the bubble
trim-ring to release the lock, and then remove the screwdriver.

Replace the bubble in an in-ceiling housing

Figure 10.3: In-Ceiling Bubble

1. Use a non-permanent marking instrument (such as chalk or a carpenter pencil) to mark on
the ceiling the screw slot in the in-ceiling housing.

2. Place the bubble over the Camera Module, and align it until it settles.

3. Rotate the trim ring, not the bubble itself, clockwise until it locks in position in the
housing. The ring becomes tight and may be difficult to turn. Aligning the screw slots by
using the chalk or pencil mark as reference ensures that you align both screw slots.

Warning!

Trim ring can become deformed
If the trim ring is not turned completely, the screw slot on the trim ring will not be aligned
with the screw slot in the housing. You cannot see the screw slot in the housing when you are
turning the screw in the slot in the trim ring. You can turn the screw in the slot in the trim
ring, but miss the screw slot on the housing. Forcing the screw into the trim ring (without the
screw going into the screw slot in the housing) can deform the ring.

4. Erase the chalk or pencil mark if desired.

Replace the bubble in a pendant housing

1. Insert the bubble and trim ring assembly into the pendant housing.

2. Rotate the assembly clockwise until it locks. The latch mechanism makes a click when it
locks.

Ethernet cable using the Bosch High PoE 60W midspan (sold separately). Power can also be
supplied over the Ethernet cable to in-ceiling models and indoor/outdoor pendant models
used in indoor applications (where the heater is not powered) using PoE+ PSEs (midspan
switches) compliant with the IEEE 802.3at, class 4 standard.
The camera can be connected simultaneously to a 24 VAC power supply and to a High PoE 60
W midspan. The camera uses power from the 24 VAC power supply. If this power supply fails,
the camera seamlessly switches power input to the High PoE 60 W midspan. The camera
switches back to the 24 VAC power supply once power is restored.
Refer to Using the IP Interface, for instructions on configuring an IP environment.

Table 11.1: Alarm wire guide

You wire alarms either Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.), and must program the
alarm inputs N.O. (the default) or N.C. through the SETTINGS page.
The camera incorporates two types of alarms: Non-supervised and Supervised. In addition to
transmitting an alarm condition, a supervised alarm also transmits a tamper condition.
Depending on how the alarm is configured, a short or a break in the alarm’s circuit can trigger
the tamper signal.

Configuring Supervised Alarms (inputs 1 and 2)

To configure Alarm 1 or 2 (pin 5 or 6) for supervision, you must install a 2.2 K end-of-line
resistor in the circuit. Then, you program the alarms through the Settings menu to either
Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.).

Notice!

Only Alarms 1 and 2 (pins 5 or 6) can be configured for supervision. Once a supervised alarm
is programmed it does not need to be enabled to indicate a tamper condition.

Configuring a Normally Open Supervised Alarm

1. Install a 2.2 K end-of-line resistor in the alarm circuit.

2. Connect the alarm wires to input 1 or 2 (pin 5 or 6) and to the ground (pin 7) at the

Configuration via IP, Basic Mode

All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the
configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.

Basic Mode: Device Access

Camera name

You can give the camera a name to make it easier to identify. The name makes the task of
administering multiple units in larger video monitoring systems easier, for example using the
Bosch Video Management Systems programs.
The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit, in the event of an alarm for
example. For this reason, enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to quickly identify the
location.

Caution!

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name.
Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may
therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

Password

An AUTODOME 7000 Series camera is generally protected by a password to prevent
unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.
The camera operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access
all the functions of the camera and change all configuration settings.
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for
example, but you cannot change the configuration.
The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and
switch between the different live image displays.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as
service or if the unit is not password protected.
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.

Notice!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also
protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user
password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start
from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

Basic Mode: Date/Time

Device date/Device time/Device time zone

If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to
synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly
evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary,
you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.

Notice!

Ensure that recording is stopped before synching to the PC.

4 Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the camera.

Time server IP address

The camera can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols,
and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every
minute.
4 Enter the IP address of a time server here.

Time server type

Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should
select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required
for special applications and subsequent function extensions.
Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.

13.3

Basic Mode: Network

The settings on this page are used to integrate the camera into an existing network.
Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes
to Set and Reboot.

1. Make the desired changes.

2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The camera reboots and the changed settings are
activated.

Caution!

If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the camera is only available
under the new addresses after the reboot.

DHCP

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you
can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the camera. Certain
applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management Systems, Archive Player, Configuration
Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these
applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and
MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is
retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for camera in this field. The IP address must be valid for the
network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.

Basic Mode: Audio

You can set the gain of the audio signals to suit your specific requirements. The current video
image is shown in the small window next to the slide controls to help you check the audio
source and improve assignments. Your changes are effective immediately.
If you connect via Web browser, you must select the option Transmit Audio on the LIVEPAGE
Functions page. (See LIVEPAGE Functions, page 93). For other connections, the transmission
depends on the audio settings of the respective system.

Audio

The audio signals are sent in a separate data stream parallel to the video data, and so increase
the network load. The audio data are encoded according to G.711 and require an additional
bandwidth of approx. 80 kbps per connection in each direction. If you do not want any audio
data to be transmitted/received, select Off.

Line In

You can set the line input gain using the slider. Values range from 0 to 31. The default value is

0.

Line Out

You can set the line output gain using the slider. Values range from 0 to 79. The default value
is 0.

Basic Mode: Recording

You can record the images from the camera on various local storage media or on an
appropriately configured iSCSI system.
Here you can select a storage medium and immediately start the recording.

Storage medium

1. Select the required storage medium from the list.

2. Click the Start button to start the recording immediately.

Identification

Camera name

The camera name makes it easier to identify the remote camera location, in the event of an
alarm for example. It will be displayed in the video screen if configured to do so. The camera
name makes the task of administering cameras in larger video monitoring systems easier, for
example using the BVC or Bosch Video Management Systems Programs.
Enter a unique, unambiguous name for the camera in this field. You can use both lines for this.

Caution!

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name.
Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may
therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

You can use the second line for entering additional characters; these can be selected from a
table.

1. Click the icon next to the second line. A new window with the character map is opened.

2. Click the required character. The character is inserted into the Result field.

3. In the character map, click the << and >> icons to move between the different pages of
the table, or select a page from the list field.

4. Click the < icon to the right of the Result field to delete the last character, or click the X
icon to delete all characters.

5. Now click the OK button to apply the selected characters to the second line of the

Camera 1 parameters. The window will close.

Camera ID

Each AUTODOME 7000 Series should be assigned a unique identifier that you can enter here
as an additional means of identification.

Initiator extension

You can attach your own text to the initiator name of the camera to make the unit easier to
identify in large iSCSI systems. This text is added to the initiator name, separated from it by a
full stop. You can see the initiator name in the System Overview page.

Password

An AUTODOME camera is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access
to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.

Notice!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also
protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user
password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start
from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

Password

The camera operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access
all the functions of the camera and change all configuration settings.
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for
example, but you cannot change the configuration.
The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and
switch between the different live image displays.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as
service or if the unit is not password protected.
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.

Confirm password

In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.

14.4

Notice!
A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the
Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.

Date/Time

Date format

Select your required date format.

Device date/Device time

Notice!

Ensure that recording is stopped before synching to the PC.

If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to
synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly
evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time.

1. Enter the current date. Since the unit time is controlled by the internal clock, there is no
need to enter the day of the week – it is added automatically.

2. Enter the current time or click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system
time to the camera.

Device time zone

Select the time zone in which your system is located.

Daylight saving time

The internal clock can switch automatically between normal and daylight saving time (DST).
The unit already contains the data for DST switch-overs up to the year 2018. You can use
these data or create alternative time saving data if required.

Notice!

If you do not create a table, there will be no automatic switching. When changing and clearing
individual entries, remember that two entries are usually related to each other and dependent
on one another (switching to summer time and back to normal time).

1. First check whether the correct time zone is selected. If it is not correct, select the
appropriate time zone for the system, and click the Set button.

2. Click the Details button. A new window will open and you will see the empty table.

3. Select the region or the city that is closest to the system's location from the list field
below the table.

4. Click the Generate button to generate data from the database in the unit and enter it into
the table.

5. Make changes by clicking an entry in the table. The entry is selected.

6. Clicking the Delete button will remove the entry from the table.

7. Select other values from the list fields below the table to change the entry. Changes are
made immediately.

8. If there are empty lines at the bottom of the table, for example after deletions, you can
add new data by marking the row and selecting required values from the list fields.

9. Now click the OK button to save and activate the table.

Time server IP address

The camera can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols,
and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every
minute.
Enter the IP address of a time server here.

Time server type

Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should
select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required
for special applications and subsequent function extensions.
Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.

I-frame distance

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. Auto means
auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. Values range from 3 to 60.
An entry of 3 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 4 indicates that
only every fourth image is an I-frame, and so on; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.
