Video | AutoDome 100 Series Analog Fixed Camera

The AutoDome 100 Series is an easy to install fixed
camera that delivers superb video in all indoor and
outdoor applications. The camera features day/night
functionality for high quality images in low light
conditions. This discrete dome camera has an IP66 rating
ensuring reliable uncompromised functionality even in
dusty and potentially wet environments.

By using the same housing components, all AutoDome
installations have a consistent look, and observers have
no idea which type of camera (if any) is watching over
them.

100 Series highlights

The AutoDome 100 Series combines the same high-quality
housings used by AutoDome PTZ cameras with the award­winning imaging technology of Dinion high-resolution
color or day/night fixed cameras and varifocal lenses.

The AutoDome 100 Series supports a variety of standard
and optional video and data transmission methods,
including Bilinx (over coax and UTP) and fiber. Remote
control, configuration, and firmware updates can also be
performed over these cables, offering you unparalleled
control of your cameras.

The AutoDome 100 Series maximizes your security
investment by integrating with Bosch video storage
products, as well as the full range of Bosch video over IP
products.

And, the AutoDome 100 Series is simple to install and use.
The in-ceiling and pendant housings come fully
assembled. The pendant housings are ready for wall or
pipe applications with the proper mounting hardware
(purchased separately). Also available for pendants, are
corner, mast, and roof mounting kits which allow the
AutoDome 100 Series to be easily adapted to the
individual site requirements.

Functions

The following are some of the features that make the
AutoDome 100 Series the most flexible fixed dome
camera in the security industry.

High-performance camera features

AutoDome 100 Series cameras have a 1/3-inch color or
day/night CCD with Bosch’s unique 15-bit Dinion digital
imaging technology to deliver a 32-fold sensitivity
improvement and a full 540 horizontal lines of resolution.
In addition, AutoDome 100 Series cameras incorporate a
number of features not found in other fixed dome
cameras.

These include:

•

XF-Dynamic – Extends the camera’s dynamic range to
deliver sharper, more detailed images and outstanding
color reproduction accuracy.

•

NightSense – Automatically activated under low-light
conditions to extend the 100 Series’ exceptional
sensitivity by a factor of three during monochrome
operation.

•

SensUp – Increases integration time by a factor of 10
to dramatically enhance sensitivity.

•

Back Light Compensation (BLC) – A fully
programmable backlight compensation (BLC) area of
interest and variable BLC level let AutoDome 100
Series day/night cameras overcome even the most
challenging entrance, vestibule, and lobby
applications.

•

Auto Black – Enhances contrast by compensating for
reduced contrast due to fog, mist, or glare.

•

Default Shutter – Automatically adjusts to the lens
opening at fast shutter speeds, eliminating motion
blur and providing remarkably clear and detailed
images of fast-moving objects.

AutoDome 100 Series day/night versions automatically
switch from color to monochrome by removing a
mechanically switching IR filter in low-light conditions.
This boosts the infrared illumination sensitivity while
maintaining superior image quality.

Unsurpassed reliability

All housings feature recessed screws and latches for
increased tamper resistance.

AutoDome pendant housings (indoor and outdoor) are
rated to provide IP 66 protection. In addition, the pendant
housings come equipped with a low-impact, high­resolution acrylic bubble for enhanced image clarity.
Outdoor Pendant housings provide an operating
temperature range down to -40°C (-40°F).

AutoDome in-ceiling housings provide IP54 (with optional
kit) protection and are rated IK 8 (IEC 62262). These
housings feature an impact-resistant polycarbonate
rugged bubble to protect your camera from vandalism.
The rugged bubble can withstand impacts equivalent to a

4.5 kg (10 lb) weight dropped from a height of 3 m
(10 ft).

Ease of installation and servicing

Bosch’s innovative software, the Configuration Tool for
Imaging Devices (CTFID), allows operators or technicians
to change camera settings, and even update firmware
from virtually anywhere without need for additional
wiring.
