delivering outstanding image quality.

Functions

High-performance PTZ day/night camera

The camera has a 1/4-in. CCD sensor, with 4CIF/D1
resolution and sensitivity to below 1.0 lux, and is
available with a choice of 28x and the industry-leading
36x optical zoom lens. Both camera options have a full
12x digital zoom and provide D1 horizontal resolution

u Easy and intuitive installation with multiple pre-

configured user modes that allow users to select the
camera configuration that is ideal for their
applications

for outstanding clarity and image detail. The camera
also incorporates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
technology that allows for the capture of clear images
from both bright and dark areas in the same frame.
WDR ensures that bright areas are not saturated and
that dark areas are not too dark.
Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make
the camera an exceptional performer in all lighting
conditions. In low light, the camera switches
automatically from color to monochrome by removing
the IR filter to boost the infrared illumination
sensitivity, while maintaining superior image quality.
For operation in the darkest conditions, the SensUp
control feature automatically reduces the shutter
speed to as little as one second. This increases
sensitivity by more than 50 times.
Progressive scan
The camera is ideally suited for IP imaging
applications. The progressive scan technology in the
camera provides smooth and clear images when
viewing images from the camera.

Sodium vapor lamp white balance
The camera is an exceptional performer when
capturing video under a sodium vapor lamp (a street
lamp or tunnel lamp, for example). Images under these
conditions may have a yellowish tint, which may make
identification difficult. In the Sodium Vapor White
Balance mode, the camera automatically compensates
for the light from a sodium vapor lamp to restore
objects to their original color.

Virtual masking

The camera offers Virtual Masking, which gives users
flexibility to mask parts of the scene which should not
be considered for flow analysis to trigger Intelligent
Tracking. This allows users to mask background
motion in the scene such as moving trees, pulsating
lights, busy roads, etc.

Intelligent Tracking

The camera utilizes the built-in Intelligent Video
Analytics (IVA) to follow an individual or an object
continuously. Objects detected by IVA when the
camera is in a stationary position activate the
Intelligent Tracking feature, which controls the pan/
tilt/zoom actions of the camera to keep the tracked
object in the scene.
The new Intelligent Tracking is based on robust flow
detection algorithms which can reliably track moving
objects even under challenging scenes.
The tracking and detection reliability can be enhanced
further with virtual masking for scenes with a lot of
background motion such as trees or other objects
creating constant motion in the scene.
The camera supports three modes for Intelligent
Tracking:
Auto mode: When configured in this mode, the camera
actively analyzes the video to detect any moving
object. If it detects movement, it begins to track the
object. This mode is most useful for scenarios where
normally no motion is expected.
One Click mode: In this mode, users can click an
object moving in the live video image to enable the
camera to track the movement of the selected object.
This mode is most useful for scenarios where normal
scene activity is expected.
IVA-triggered mode: In this mode, the camera
continuously analyzes the scene for IVA alarms or IVA
rule violations. If an IVA rule is violated, it triggers the
advanced tracking feature of the camera to start
following the object / person that triggered the alarm.
This unique combination of robust IVA and Intelligent
Tracking allows the camera to track moving objects of
interest without getting distracted by other moving
objects in the scene.

Intelligence

With built-in video content analysis, the AUTODOME
reinforces the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where
edge devices become increasingly intelligent.

The AUTODOME comes with Bosch’s Intelligent Video
Analysis (IVA) built-in. IVA is state-of-the-art intelligent
video analysis that reliably detects, and analyzes
moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms
from spurious sources in the image.
The IVA functionality built into the AUTODOME is able
to detect idle and removed objects as well as loitering,
multiple line crossing, and trajectories. IVA also
supports BEV (Bird’s Eye View) People counting.
Assisted Self Calibration and configurable detection
filters improve reliability and reduce operator work
load.

AUTODOME 7000 PTZ drive and mechanism

The AUTODOME 7000 supports 256 pre-positions and
two styles of Guard Tours: Preset and Record/
Playback. Users can configure the preset standard tour
with as many as 256 sequential pre-positions, with a
configurable dwell time between pre-positions. The
AUTODOME Series also provides support for two
recorded tours, which are recorded macros of an
operator’s movements, including pan, tilt, and zoom
activities, and can be played back with the click of a
button.
Pan and tilt preset repeatability are accurate to within
±0.1 degrees to ensure that the correct scene is
captured every time. The camera delivers variable pan/
tilt speeds from a crawl speed of only 0.1 degrees per
second to a full 400 degrees per second. The camera
is capable of pan speeds of 400 degrees per second
and tilt speeds of 300 degrees per second between
prepositions. The camera provides a tilt angle 18
degrees above the horizon, and a pan range of up to
360 degrees continuous rotation.
The AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and AutoPivot
(automatically rotates and flips the camera) features
ensure optimal control.

Five (5) pre-programmed user modes

Five pre-programmed but configurable user modes,
optimized with the best settings for a variety of typical
applications, make camera programming on-site easy
and user-friendly. Users select from the menu the
mode that best defines the environment in which the
camera is installed:

• Outdoor – general day-to-night changes with sun
highlights and street lighting

• Indoor – general day-to-night changes without sun
highlights and street lighting

• Low light –optimized for sufficient details at low light

• Motion – monitoring traffic or fast moving objects;
motion artifacts are minimized

• Vibrant – enhanced contrast color reproduction and
sharpness

Users have the ability to customize these modes, if
necessary, for the specific requirements of the site.

Superior privacy masking

The camera provides 24 individual, easy to configure
privacy masks, with up to 8 displayed in the same
scene. As the camera is zoomed, each mask changes
size smoothly and quickly, ensuring that the covered
object cannot be seen in most cases.

Comprehensive streaming capabilities on Bosch’s
Common Product Platform (CPP4)

The camera has an advanced, efficient H.264 encoder
(CPP4) embedded for DVD-quality streaming video
and very efficient streaming and network capabilities.
The new platform supports simultaneous streaming of
individually configurable SD streams (H.264 and M­JPEG), and allows a choice of SD resolution.

Recording and storage management

A memory card (SD (Secure Digital), SDHC (Secure
Digital High Capacity), or SDXC (Secure Digital
eXtended Capacity)) can be used for local alarm
recording or for scheduled local recording to improve
the overall recording reliability. Recording
management can be controlled by the Bosch Video
Recording Manager (VRM), or the camera can use
iSCSI targets directly without any recording software.

Advanced networking capabilities

The AUTODOME offers advanced capabilities so you
can configure the camera to take advantage of the
latest networking technology.
The AUTODOME offers Quality of Service (QoS)
configuration options to ensure fast network response
to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is
the set of techniques to manage network resources.
QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter),
bandwidth, and packet loss parameters to guarantee
the ability of a network to deliver predictable results.
QoS identifies the type of data in a data packet and
divides the packets into traffic classes that can be
prioritized for forwarding.
The AUTODOME also supports the IPv6 internet-layer
protocol for packet-switched internetworking across
multiple IP networks. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses
(IPv4 uses 32-bit addressing), which allows for many
more devices and users on the internet as well as
extra flexibility in allocating addresses and efficiency
for routing traffic.

Ease of installation and servicing

The camera has been designed for quick and easy
installation; a key feature from Bosch CCTV products.
All housings feature recessed screws and latches for
increased tamper resistance.
AUTODOME in-ceiling housings provide IP54
protection. With an optional, impact-resistant, rugged
polycarbonate bubble (sold separately), they are rated
IK 8 (IEC 62262) to protect the 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).

Indoor/outdoor pendant housings are rated to provide
IP66 protection and offer an operating temperature
range down to -40 °C (-40 °F). The indoor/outdoor
pendant comes fully assembled with a sunshield and
ready for wall or pipe applications with the proper
mounting hardware (sold separately). In addition, the
camera models with pendant housing come equipped
with a low-impact, high-resolution acrylic bubble for
enhanced image clarity. You can easily convert the
outdoor pendant for indoor applications by removing
the sunshield.
Bosch offers a full complement of hardware and
accessories (sold separately) for wall, corner, mast,
roof, pipe mount, and in-ceiling applications, which
allow the camera to be adapted easily to individual
site requirements.

Video management system support

The camera ships with Bosch Video Client (BVC), an
easy-to-use software from Bosch that is suitable for
midsize installations. For large enterprise systems,
AUTODOME cameras can be used with Bosch Video
Management System (BVMS), which allows enhanced
video management and viewing capabilities.
In addition, the camera is supported/integrated into all
of the leading third party video management systems.
