About VG4 AutoDome Firmware Updates

The latest VG4 service pack is available on the Bosch Security Systems Web site. To download
a service pack from the Web, navigate to www.boschsecurity.us, click the CCTV link, then
click Software under the Download Library heading. Select CCTV, then Camera, PTZ and
choose the AutoDome model to choose the service pack you want to download.
A service pack update usually contains more than one file. The VG4 AutoDome system
determines which files it requires, and automatically selects a service pack file if its version is
greater than the version installed in the AutoDome.
NOTE: When uploading a service pack to an AutoDome you can choose to install the files
which are automatically selected, or skip a file by deselecting it. If you choose to deselect a
file that is a newer version than the one already installed, you will receive a warning that
skipping a particular file may cause system instability.
