Introduction
Bosch’s AutoDome modular camera system is a
re vol utiona ry n ew co ncept in d ome cam eras. 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 costeffectively. 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 tracking
and image stabilization. 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
example, a fixed color camera over a specific area could
easily be “hot-swapped”to a day/night camera without
removing the power. Migrating from a fixed dome to a PTZ
dome 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.
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), 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.

The optional IP Communications Module has hybrid
functionality to protect your current analog technology
investment while providing a clear and stable migration
path to fully digital, IP-based solutions. This allows you to
move to IP video at your own pace – all at once or one
camera at a time. And since all AutoDome modules are
completely interchangeable, there is no need to replace
expensive components (e.g., cameras) or labor-intensive
components (e.g., mounts and housings).
Functions
The following are some of the features that make the
AutoDome 100 Series the most flexible fixed dome camera
systems in the security industry.
High-performance camera features
AutoDome 100 Series cameras have a 1/3-inch color 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 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.
Optional hybrid analog/IP operation
Optional hybrid connectivity allows the AutoDome to
simultaneously stream IP video across a local or wide area
network, and CVBS video via coaxial cabling to support
existing analog equipment. Network video streams are sent
over IP networks and can be viewed with the Bosch DiBos
Digital Video Recorder, or on a PC running VIDOS video
management software. Alternatively, a Bosch IP video
decoder can be used to display the video on an analog CVBS
or VGA monitor. For maximum accessibility, video can be
viewed using a Web browser. The BNC connection provides
direct input to a conventional analog matrix switcher or
DVR, further enhancing AutoDome’s viewing and recording
flexibility.
MPEG-4 encoding
AutoDome’s IP Communications Module uses the latest
MPEG-4 compression technology to provide DVD-quality
4CIF video at frame rates up to 25/30 PAL/NTSC images per
second (IPS). The IP module also leverages bandwidth
throttling and multicasting capabilities to efficiently
manage bandwidth and storage requirements while
delivering the best possible image quality and resolution.
Tri -stream ing video
Bosch’s innovative tri-streaming feature enables
AutoDomes equipped with the optional IP Communications
Module to generate two independent MPEG-4 streams and
a JPEG stream simultaneously. This allows you to stream
high-quality images for live viewing while recording at a
reduced frame rate, and at the same time, stream JPEG
images to a remote PDA device.
Unsurpassed reliability
AutoDome builds on Bosch’s 10-plus years of experience
designing and manufacturing dome camera systems. All
AutoDome pendant housings (indoor and outdoor) are
rated to provide IP 66 protection. Outdoor EnviroDome
housings provide an operating temperature range down to
–40°C (–40°F). The optional “XT”extended temperature kit
allows AutoDome to operate in temperatures down to –
55°C (–67°F), ensuring reliable operation in even the
harshest environments.
All housings come standard with a rugged polycarbonate
bubble, recessed set screws, and a recessed bubble latch to
reduce the chance of damage from vandalism. Inside the
dome, the power, data, and video are all protected against
unexpected surges of power.

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. For
the new Ethernet versions, an embedded Web server lets
the installer access all the user settings, make camera
adjustments, and update firmware via a standard Web
browser.
AutoDome’s innovative design simplifies installation and
servicing. AutoDome reduces maintenance costs because
you can replace individual modules instead of entire camera
assemblies. Simply pop out the old module and slide in the
new ones: it’s almost as easy as changing a light bulb. All
tethers have been replaced with hinges, which makes
installation and servicing safer and easier. You can even
access the built-in power supply without taking down the
dome.
