AUTODOME Bubble Replacement and Maintenance
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. The IK10-rated bubble is
made of nylon. 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 low-impact.
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.
Notice!
Polycarbonate bubbles are not recommended for use in HD AUTODOME cameras because of
degradation of optical quality.
