System overview
The AUTODOME 7000 Series camera includes the following functionality:
FunctionDescription
Video EncodingThe camera uses the H.264 compression standards and ensures that the
data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be
adapted to local conditions within wide limits.
StreamingEncodes multiple data streams simultaneously according to individually
customized profiles. This feature creates data streams that can serve
different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for recording and
one (1) data stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area
Network (LAN).
MulticastEnables simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers. The
network must implement the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols as a
prerequisite for Multicasting.
ConfigurationAllows configuration for all camera settings from a Web browser on the
local network (Intranet) or on the Internet. You can also update the
firmware, load device configurations, store configuration settings, and
copy these settings from one camera to another.
Intelligent
Tracking
Continuously follows an individual. Intelligent Tracking operates by
recognizing an individual in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50%
of the field of view for an average target height of six feet.
SnapshotsAllows you to take and store individual video frames as JPEG images
from the Web browser interface.
RecordAllows configuration for the recording options of the IP module. You can
record video from the LIVE page to a hard drive or to a customerprovided SD card.
PlaybackAllows playback of stored video from a customer-provided SD card.
Models with the 30x optical zoom have additional features, including the following.
Anti-fog feature
Intelligent
Dynamic Noise
Reduction
(iDNR)
Image
Stabilization
Significantly improves visibility when viewing foggy or other low-contract
scenes.
IVA / VCA controls the iDNR feature, which reduces noise based on
motion activity in the scene. When there is no motion in the preset
scene, noise reduction is increased. When the camera detects motion in
the preset scene, noise reduction is decreased to reduce bandwidth and
optimize storage space.
This feature allows the camera to detect continuous vibration. If it
detects vibration, the camera dynamically corrects the shaky video in
both the vertical and horizontal axis, resulting in exceptional image
clarity and a stable field of view on the monitor.

4.1
Stabilization
Surveillance cameras are susceptible to vibrations caused by wind or vibrations emanating
from the medium to which the camera is attached. Cameras attached to a pole, roof, or to a
bridge are especially vulnerable. Bosch offers the following recommendations to stabilize an
AUTODOME 7000 and to decrease the affects of vibration on transmitted images, privacy
masks, and Intelligent Tracking.
Pole and Mast Mounts
–Use a pendant arm with the Pole Mount Adapter (VG4-A-9541).
–Do not attach a parapet mount to a pole or mast.
–Use a pole designed specifically for CCTV cameras:
–Do not use a tapered pole.
–Do not use a pole that has signs or other equipment attached.
–Consult EPA rating / Wind load data to select an appropriate pole.
Roof Mounts
–Mount the camera in the most stable location on the roof.
–Avoid locations affected by vibrations such as those caused by a rooftop air conditioner.
–Use guy wires to stabilize the AUTODOME against strong winds.
–Use the LTC 9230/01 Flat Roof Mount Adapter where appropriate. This adapter is made
specifically for AUTODOME roof applications.
Extreme Mount Applications
Unique camera mounting applications that are impacted by extreme high winds, heavy traffic,
or other conditions may require additional measures to stabilize the camera. Contact a
manufacturer that specializes in passive vibration suppression using either damping or
isolation.

Description
This chapter details how to install an AUTODOME to a Wall, Corner, or Mast (pole) mount. Any
differences to the installation between these two mounting systems are noted.
Route Wires and Attach Connectors
Notice!
If you plan to route the power through an intermediate power supply box, refer to Route
Power through Intermediate Power Supply Box, page 29.
Power wires must be routed to the left (front) side of the Power Supply Box through a
separate electrically earth-grounded conduit. All video, control, and alarm wires must be
routed through a second electrically earth-grounded conduit to the right side of the box.
Warning!
External interconnecting cables are to be installed in accordance to NEC, ANSI/NFPA70 (for
US application) and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 (for CAN application) and in
accordance to local country codes for all other countries.
Branch circuit protection incorporating a 20 A, 2-pole Listed Circuit Breaker or Branch Rated
Fuses are required as part of the building installation. A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect
device with a contact separation of at least 3 mm (0.12 in.) must be incorporated.
Making the Connections
Notice!
Refer to the Connection, page 71 chapter for wire specifications and distances.
1.Route all video, control, and alarm wires through the earth-grounded conduit fitting on
the right side of the power box.
2.Route the high voltage 115/230 VAC lines through the earth-grounded conduit fitting on
the left side of the box. The Power Supply Box with a transformer comes with a barrier
that separates the high voltage side on the left, from the low voltage 24 VAC side on the
right.
3.Cut and trim all wires with sufficient slack to reach their connector terminals in the box,
but not so long as to be pinched by or to obstruct closing the Pendant Arm. Refer to the
image above for the connector locations.
4.Attach the supplied 3-pin Power Plug to the incoming power wires. Refer to connector
P101 for wire connections.
5.If audio input and/or audio output is required, attach the supplied 6-pin SERIAL
COMMUNICATIONS to P106 in the Power Supply Box. Refer to connector P106 in the
Power Supply Box Connections section below.
6.Attach an RJ45 plug to the incoming Ethernet cable.

Warning!
In earlier Bosch AUTODOME cameras, cable 8 in the ARM mount is labeled “Control In/Out”
and was used for external RxD/TxD and Biphase communications. In the AUTODOME 7000
Series cameras: If you are mounting an AUTODOME 7000 Series camera to an ARM mount
that was wired for an earlier model of Bosch AUTODOME, you must either re-wire cable 8 to
be audio input and output, or disconnected it from the power supply.
Cables/wires that are routed through number 2 in the illustration above come from the Nexus
cable bundle that is in the pendant Arm.

Route Power through Intermediate Power Supply Box
You may route the main power supply through a VG4-PSU1 (120 V transformer) or through a
VG4-PSU2 (230 V transformer) Power Supply Box before connecting the power to a VG4-PA0
(24 V, no transformer) Power Supply Box. The main issue with this configuration is that the 5pin power out connector from the VG4-PSU1 or VG4-PSU2 does not match to the 3-pin power
input of the VG4-PA0 power supply. The illustration below depicts:
–A VG4-PSU1/VG4-PSU2 Power Supply Box.
–The main power supply connected to the P101 connector and to the grounding screw.
–The 24 VAC power out wire connected to the P107 heater power connectors.
