AUTODOME Bubble Replacement

This guide provides instructions for replacing a bubble on an
AUTODOME camera (of VG4 Series, VG5 Series, or 7000 Series)
with in-ceiling or pendant housing. The guide also includes
important information about handling and cleaning the bubble.
Replacement bubbles are made of either Polycarbonate or
Acrylic. Rugged polycarbonate bubbles provide high impact
resistance, and are comparable to glass or acrylic, although their
surface is much softer. High-resolution acrylic bubbles offer
enhanced image clarity for high-resolution images but are low­impact.

!

Warning!

High-resolution acrylic bubbles are not permitted to be used

with a VG4 Pressurized Environmental Housing. If not avoided,

this application could result in bodily injury and damage to the

camera.

!

Warning!

Polycarbonate bubbles are not recommended for use in HD

AUTODOMES, due to optical quality degradation.
