systems” and found to meet Risk Group 2 for exposure limit

4.3.7 “Infrared radiation hazard exposure limits for the eye.”
For other hazard exposure limits, the product was found to be
exempt. Risk Group 2 is characterized in the standard as
“products generally do not pose a realistic optical hazard if
aversion responses limit the exposure duration or where
lengthy exposures are unrealistic.” Since there is no aversion
response for IR, avoid eye exposure. Risk Group 2 sources do
not pose an infrared radiation hazard for the eye within 10 s at
distances beyond 200 mm or 8 inches. The Exposure Hazard
Value for the product (ratio of the Exposure level to the
Exposure limit) is up to 10 at a test distance of 200 mm (8
inches). The Hazard Distance (distance beyond which the
product falls into the exempt/safe group) is at most 640 mm
(25 inches). Note that typical use cases are well beyond the
Hazard Distance.When servicing the unit, physically disconnect
the power supply to avoid possible IR exposure to the eyes. If
physical disconnection is not possible, use appropriate
shielding to block the LED panel or use eye protection with a
transmission of 10% or less at a wavelength of 850 nm.

the power socket of the camera.

NOTICE!

For a DC supply, the polarity is important. Incorrect polarity
does not damage the camera, but will not allow the camera to
switch on. If input voltage is not within the specified range or
has incorrect polarity (DC only), the voltage indicator (a yellow
LED in the front window) turns on to indicate this condition.

7. Connect the incoming Ethernet cable to the RJ45
connector supplied in the camera junction box.

4.3.1 About the Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors is the most
common method for transmitting composite video. Bilinx
control data can also be sent over the same cable. Bilinx is a
Bosch 2-way communication protocol for analog cameras that
allows remote control, configuration, and updates over a video
coax cable.
VEI-30 models feature cable compensation or “Pre-Comp,”
which extends the range of video from the head end, but does
not extend the range of Bilinx control.

5 Manual Camera Settings

Most camera settings can be adjusted remotely via CTFID
software (for analog models; refer to the Configuration Tool for
Imaging Devices User Manual at www.boschsecurity.com) or via
the web browser interface (for IP models). Some settings--lens
focus, focal length, pan, tilt, LED tilt, and the width of the
illumination beam--require manual adjustment using controls at
the back of or in the front of the camera.

5.1 Adjusting Focus, Focal Length, Pan, and
Tilt

To adjust the focal length and focus, use the controls located
on the access panel at the rear of the camera housing. An
access panel also contains the camera keypad buttons that you
use to interact with the camera’s on-screen display (OSD)
menu. This menu provides advanced set-up options for getting
the best results under special circumstances.

5.1.1 Accessing the Rear Controls

1. Unscrew the four (4) captive screws (item 1 in the figure

below) of the access panel on the rear of the camera
housing.

5.2 Adjusting Angle of LED Tilt and Width of
Illumination Beam

Adjust the angle of LED tilt and the width of the illumination
beam on the front of the camera. See the figures in the
subchapters below to identify the locations for each
adjustment.

5.2.1 Adjusting the Angle of LED Tilt

NOTICE!

Do not discard the additional LED tilt set screw supplied in the
accessory kit! It is required to adjust the angle of LED tilt.

Adjust the angle of LED tilt (up or down) to maximize coverage
of the infrared light over the field of view. As a general
guideline, when the camera is pointed down at a steeper angle
(usually at higher installation heights or for applications of
shorter ranges), the angle of LED tilt should be raised above the
axis of the camera to reduce the potential of overexposure in
the foreground.

1. Select the appropriate set screw for adjusting the angle of

LED tilt, based on how far you want the camera to “see.”
Use the 31 mm screw for general area surveillance /
targets closer to the camera. Use the 25 mm screw for
other use cases such as monitoring a perimeter.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.263.417 | 3.0 | 2012.01

2. Insert the set screw in the screw slot (item 1, Figure 5.6)
between the camera window and the LED window in the
front of the camera.

Figure 5.6 Slot for set screw for adjusting angle of LED tilt

3. Insert the screw as far as possible into the slot. The screw
must be in the slot completely to make the adjustment.

WARNING!

The LED Tilt Set screw must be inserted completely so that the
integrated O-ring makes a seal with the camera housing. If the
screw is not completely inserted, the water tightness of the
camera will be compromised.

5.2.2 Adjusting the Illumination Beam Width

Adjust the infrared beam width by adding or removing the 3D
diffuser. Each camera ships with a 3D diffuser plate (already
installed in the camera) and the 3D diffuser (not installed in the
camera). The diffuser plate holds the 3D diffuser in place in the
camera. The 3D diffuser is recommended for wider field of view
applications.
– With the 3D diffuser, a focal length of 6 mm provides a

horizontal field of view (FOV) of 42° to match the
illumination pattern; the resulting beam angle is 42° (H) x
20° (V).

– Without the 3D diffuser, a focal length of 27 mm (or

greater) provides a horizontal field of view (FOV) of 10° (or
less) to match the illumination pattern; the resulting beam
angle is 10° (H) x 10° (V).

F.01U.263.417 | 3.0 | 2012.01 User Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Dinion Infrared Imager Manual Camera Set tings | en 29

To install the 3D diffuser:

1. Unscrew the four (4) captive screws beneath the
illuminator in the front of the unit (item 2, Figure 5.7).

Figure 5.7 3D Diffuser

2. Using the captive screws, remove the 3D diffuser plate.

3. Insert the 3D diffuser into the slit in the gasket on the 3D
diffuser plate.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the diffuser is inserted into the
camera housing with the sticker side facing the LED array.
It is important that the diffuser is oriented with the sticker
side surface facing the LED array or IR performance will be
lost.

4. Install the diffuser and plate assembly into the camera
housing to secure and seal the unit.

To remove the 3D diffuser:

1. Remove the 3D diffuser and plate assembly as when
installing the 3D diffuser.

2. Remove the 3D diffuser from the diffuser plate.

3. Install the diffuser plate into the camera housing to secure
and seal the unit.

Menus

The camera normally provides an optimal picture without the
need for further adjustments. Advanced set-up options are
available in a menu system for getting the best results under
special circumstances. The camera implements your changes
immediately so that before and after settings are easily
compared.

6.1 Menus

6.1.1 Top level menus

Once you have opened the access panel on the rear of the
camera housing (see Section 7, Configuration), you can adjust
the camera settings via the camera’s on-screen display (OSD)

6.3 Camera control communication (Bilinx)

This camera is equipped with a coaxial communications
transceiver (also referred to as Bilinx). In combination with VP­CFGSFT, the camera setting can be changed from any point
along the coaxial cable. All menus can be accessed remotely
giving full control of the camera. With this method of
communication it is also possible to disable the local keys on
the camera. To avoid loss of communication on an installed
camera, the Communication On/Off selection is not available
while using remote control. This function can only be accessed
with the camera buttons. Bilinx communications can only be
disabled using the buttons on the camera.

Disabled camera buttons

When the Bilinx communications link is active, the buttons on
the camera are disabled.
