Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,
such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause
complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.
Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most stability for
the camera.
Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.
Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across the
camera's field of view.
Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera.
Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or
intersections.
Use the Virtual Masking feature (see chapter 7 in the VG4 200,300,500i Series User
Manual) to mask unwanted motion from trees or cars.
Bosch recommends that you draw the virtual mask 10% larger than the object to be
masked.
Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a window or
mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the AutoTrack operation.
Use a Virtual Mask to hide these type of lights if they cannot be avoided.
Check the virtual mask periodically to ensure that it still covers the entire object to be
masked. Adjust the mask if necessary.
