4 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
Mast (Pole), and Corner Mounts), page 24

4.1 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 camera 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.
4.2 Configuring and Implementing Intelligent Tracking
Configuring Intelligent Tracking
The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) to continuously follow an
individual or object even if it passes behind a Privacy Mask or a stationary object. The camera
uses objects detected by IVA in a stationary preset position to activate the Intelligent Tracking
feature.
The Intelligent Tracking feature allows continuous on-screen following of an individual or an
object. This feature operates by recognizing an object in motion and zooms in to
approximately 50% (default Tracker zoom threshold) of the field of view for an average target
height of six feet. This feature controls the pan/tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the
selected object in the scene.

– Mount/Mounting Surface Stability
– Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,
such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause
complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.
– Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most
stability for the camera.
– Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.
– Field of View
– Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across the
camera’s field of view.
– Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera.
– Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or
intersections. Intelligent Tracking is optimized for scenes with very few moving
objects.
– Unwanted Motion
– Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a
window or mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the
Intelligent Tracking operation.
– Avoid motion from moving leaves/branches that present a persistent fixed motion.

5 Preparing the bubble
Notice!
To avoid excessive moisture saturation inside the housing, limit the amount of time that the
bubble is disconnected from the housing. Bosch recommends that the bubble be removed
from the housing for no more than five (5) minutes.
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.
