2 | AutoDome 300 Series PTZ Camera System
The optional IP Communications Module has hybrid
functionality to protect your current analog technology
investment while providing a clear and stable migration
path to fully digital, IP-based solutions. This allows you to
move to IP video at your own pace – all at once or one
camera at a time. And since all AutoDome modules are
completely interchangeable, there is no need to replace
expensive components (e.g., cameras) or labor-intensive
components (e.g., mounts and housings).
Functions
The following are some of the features that make the
AutoDome 300 Series the most flexible PTZ dome camera
systems in the security industry.
High-performance PTZ day/night cameras
Image control and quality are integral aspects of any PTZ
dome system, and the AutoDome delivers. The 300 Series
is available with a choice of 18x, 26x, or an industry-
leading 36x optical zoom lens, and all 300 Series systems
offer a full 12x digital zoom. The 18x and 26x cameras
provide 470 TVL (NTSC) or 480 TVL (PAL), and the 36x
camera provides a full 540 TVL of horizontal resolution for
outstanding clarity and image detail. The 36x camera also
incorporates technology that dramatically improves the
dynamic range by 128 times. Also known as WDR (wide-
dynamic range), it results in clear image reproduction in
extreme high-contrast environments.
The AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and AutoPivot
(automatically rotates and flips the camera) features
ensure optimal control.
Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make
300 Series cameras exceptional performers in all lighting
conditions. In low light, these cameras automatically
switch from color to monochrome by removing the IR
filter to boost infrared illumination sensitivity, while
maintaining superior image quality. For operation in the
darkest conditions, the SensUp control feature
automatically extends the shutter speed to as much as
one second. This increases sensitivity by more than 50
times.
With super-quick, 360° per-second pan and tilt speeds,
the AutoDome 300 Series outperforms other domes in its
class. The 300 Series supports 99 pre-positions and two
styles of guard tours: preset and record/playback. The
preset tour can handle up to 99 pre-positions with a
configurable dwell time between pre-positions; the order
and frequency with which each preset is visited can be
customized. The AutoDome 300 Series also provides
support for two recorded tours, which have a combined
duration of 15 minutes of movement. These are recorded
macros of an operator's movements, including pan, tilt,
and zoom activities, and can be played back continuously.
Supported menu languages include: English, French,
German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and Polish.
Alarm management
The AutoDome 300 Series takes alarm handling to new
levels of flexibility and power.
Inputs and outputs
The AutoDome 300 Series can handle seven alarm inputs:
two of these are analog inputs that can be programmed
for EOLR (End-of-Line Resistor) supervision whenever true
security applications require it. These inputs enable the
dome to "sense" if the contact is opened or closed and
whether the wire has been tampered with (either by being
cut or shorted). In addition, the AutoDome 300 Series
supports four outputs: one relay rated at two amps and
three additional open collectors for driving external
devices. Each can be programmed individually.
Advanced alarm control
This new concept in flexibility goes beyond simple alarm
handling. Advanced alarm control uses sophisticated
rules-based logic to determine how to manage alarms. In
its most basic form, a "rule" could define which
input(s) should activate which output(s). In a more
complex form, inputs and outputs can be combined with
pre-defined or user-specified keyboard commands to
perform advanced dome functions. There is virtually no
limit to the number of combinations that you can
program, making the standard software in the dome ready
for any application.
Superior privacy masking
The AutoDome 300 Series allows for a total of 24
individual privacy masks, with up to eight displayed in the
same scene. Unlike conventional privacy masks, these can
each be programmed with three, four, or even five corners
to cover more complex shapes. As the camera is zoomed
each mask changes size smoothly and quickly ensuring
that the covered object cannot be seen. You also have a
choice of colors: black, white, and blurred. Blurred comes
in handy when privacy is an issue, but determining the
presence of motion is still required.
Optional hybrid analog/IP operation
AutoDomes equipped with the optional TCP/IP
Communications Module use an advanced H.264 encoder
to create DVD-quality streaming video across a local or a
wide area network, and can simultaneously stream CVBS
video via coaxial cabling to support existing analog
equipment. Network video streams are sent over IP
networks and can be viewed with the Bosch Divar XF
Digital Video Recorder, or on a PC running VIDOS video
management software. Alternatively, a Bosch IP video
