AutoDome 100 Series Analog Fixed
Camera

u 540 TVL fixed dome series

u Color and day/night camera options

u Available with 2.7–13.5 mm or 5–50 mm lens

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 high­quality housings used by AutoDome PTZ cameras with
the award-winning imaging technology of Dinion high­resolution 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.

u Coax/UTP transmission standard on all models

u Convertible to IP communications with optional ac-

cessory

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 resolu-

tion. 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,
high-resolution 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.
