Recommended Use of Your Camera

Bosch recommends that you consider the following in order to optimize the life of your Bosch
camera.
Notice!
Refer to the document "AUTODOME_OperationGuidelines_2014.pdf" for guidelines for
i
operating your camera using Guard Tours and Preset Tours. To access the document, go to
www.boschsecurity.com, navigate to the product page for your camera, and then locate the
document in the Documents tab.
1. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
Use the recommended Bosch High PoE IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) and Type 4 (90W)
Midspans (sold separately from the camera) between the camera and your PoE network.
Improper network connection can result in intermittent camera reboots.
If you choose to use a PoE switch, ensure that the switch supports High PoE IEEE 802.3bt
Type 3 (60W) and Type 4 (90W) devices to optimize its power management, and that the
switch meets requirements for power draw for the product.
2. Installation in an area with high humidity
Ideally, the bubble of your dome camera should remain in place. The dome contains a breather
vent, which generates equalization of pressure through air exchange to reduce stress in sealed
enclosures. It is able to withstand the most extreme weather conditions and environments.
If you must remove the bubble (for example, to install or remove an SD card), do not leave the
bubble off of the dome for longer than five minutes.
Bosch also recommends that you keep the dome camera in its packaging until you are ready to
install the camera.
3. Installation in a corrosive environment (for example, near a coastline)
The fasteners and fixtures shipped with the camera help to keep the camera secure. Always
use Bosch-supplied screws and other fasteners during the installation or maintenance of the
camera.
Before installation, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is chipped or
otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, touch up the damage with locally
available paint or sealants.
Avoid installation practices that can bring the camera's metal mountings in contact with
materials such as stainless steel. Such contacts can result in galvanic corrosion and degrade
the cosmetic appearance of the camera. These cosmetic damages caused by improper
installation are not covered by warranty as they do not affect the functionality of the camera.
The customer is responsible for the choice of surface and environment to install the device.
4. Outdoor installation
Use proper surge suppression on your network video, power, audio, and alarm cables.
5. SD card
This information is provided to assist the customer in the selection of an appropriate SD
device as a means for recording video. It is not an endorsement of a specific technology or
supplier.
AUTODOME 7000i / 7100i cameras can record video and audio to user-supplied local memory
cards (SD, SDHC, or SDXC, hereafter referred to as "SD cards"). Bosch has identified best
practices with respect to the selection and use of SD cards in the products.
