BVIP Firmware Updates

The AutoDome IP and HD units incorporate a network video server in the IP module. The
primary function of the server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a
TCP/IP network. An AutoDome IP and HD also allows an operator to update the BVIP firmware
via the TCP/IP network.
The latest BVIP firmware is available on the Bosch Security Systems Web site. To download
the service pack from the Web, navigate to www.boschsecurity.us, click the CCTV link, then
click Cameras, PTZ and navigate to the product page for the an AutoDome IP and HD . Then
click the Software tab on the product page.

Upgrading the AutoDome IP or HD

The preferred method to update an AutoDome IP or HD is through a direct connection
between the camera and a PC. This method entails connecting the Ethernet cable from the
camera directly to the Ethernet port of a PC.
If the direct-connect method is not practical you can also update the AutoDome IP or HD
through a Local Area Network (LAN). You cannot, however, update the AutoDome IP or HD
through a Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet.
