Recommended Use of Your MIC Camera
Bosch recommends that you consider the following in order to optimize the life of your Bosch
camera.
1. Guard Tours and Preset Tours
With your camera, you can cover a full 360° view using continuous Guard Tours or Preset
Tours. Depending on the type of camera tour selected, your camera might be either in
continuous motion (pan, tilt, or both) or moving between selected preset positions.
Continuous Guard Tours
Guard Tours are a very effective way of monitoring the entire scene; however, if not configured
properly, continuous Guard Tours can reduce the service life of your camera considerably.
Continuous Guard Tours should be used in applications where the tours are required to run
for a fixed duration during the day (not more than twelve hours/day). Additionally, for best
results, the continuous guard tour should be used in scenes with sufficient illumination levels
(50 lux or better), should be at least 60 seconds in duration, and should have a smooth pan/
tilt path (without erratic stops and starts), with the lens set at a wide angle (infinity focus).
The tour should also include at least 10° of tilt movement.
Note: Tour B is now intended for use with the 'IVA while moving' functions.
Preset Tours
For scenarios that require the camera to be in continuous motion for most of the day, Bosch
recommends that you set the camera in Preset Tour mode, moving between a desired set of
presets. For best results, always ensure that each preset has a dwell time of at least 5
seconds.
