VG4 Series Pressurized Environmental
Housing Module

www.boschsecurity.com

u Maximum environmental protection against dust,

smog, salt air and humidity

u Meets IP67 and NEMA 4X specifications

u Maintains a dry, clean atmosphere for camera, lens,

and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) mechanism

u Extended temperature range

u Compatible with all AutoDome modules and

accessories

The Bosch VG4 Series Pressurized Environmental
Housing module protects a VG4 AutoDome Modular
Camera System from the elements, both natural and
manmade. It is the ideal surveillance solution for
applications that require frequent wash-down,
including traffic, transit, bridges, tunnels and coastal
installations where salt, moisture, dust, insects and
fumes threaten the long-term operation of the camera.
The pressurized housing module is the ultimate way to
protect your surveillance camera investment from the
environment.
The Pressurized Environmental Housing module is
available as part of a VG4 500i Series EnviroDome
pendant assembly (power, mounting, and fiber optic
accessories must be ordered separately). In addition,
the Pressurized Environmental Housing module can be
ordered separately and be fitted to an existing VG4
EnviroDome.

Functions

This rugged pressurized housing, combined with the
AutoDome Modular Camera System, maintains peak
performance in the worst of conditions. The IP67 rated
pressurized dome is the ultimate way to protect the
camera from harsh environmental conditions.

Image control and quality are integral aspects of any
outdoor surveillance system. The VG4 Pressurized
Environmental Housing option offers the same lenses,
26x and 36x, as the standard VG4 500i series, and
offers a full 12x digital zoom once the end of the
optical zoom is reached. In addition, the scaling
feature ensures optimal control for viewing at all zoom
settings.
To enhance sensitivity when night falls, the day/night
AutoDome automatically switches from color to
monochrome by removing the infrared filter. Whether
you program the camera to switch automatically, or
use the manual switch, the result is optimal camera
function, day or night. This feature automatically
reduces the shutter speed to as little as one second,
increasing sensitivity by more than 50 times, even in
the darkest conditions.
Remote control, configuration and updates can be
performed over the video cable (coax or passive UTP)
when using Bilinx-compatible control and
configuration devices (such as the VP-CFGSFT
configuration tool or the LTC 8016 Allegiant Bilinx
Interface).

2 | VG4 Series Pressurized Environmental Housing Module

AutoDomes equipped with the optional TCP/IP
Communications Module use an advanced H.264
encoder to create DVD-quality streaming video across
a local or a wide area network, and can simultaneously
stream CVBS video via coaxial cabling to support
existing analog equipment.
The menu for these devices can display multiple
languages, including: English, Czech, Dutch, French,
German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and
Russian.
