AutoDome 600 Series Description
The AutoDome 600 Series is an easy to install PTZ camera that delivers superb
video in all indoor and outdoor applications. The camera features day/night
functionality for high quality images in low light conditions. This discrete,
high-speed dome camera ensures reliable, uncompromised functionality in diverse
environments across various applications.
AutoDome 600 Series highlights The AutoDome delivers state-of-the-art technology
and features that far exceed other PTZ cameras. The cameras achieve a high
horizontal resolution of 550 TV lines enabling the reproduction of clear and
detailed images.
Wide Dynamic Range
The AutoDome features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology that allows for the
capture of clear images from both bright and dark areas in the same frame. WDR
ensures that bright areas are not saturated and that dark areas are not too
dark.
Progressive scan
The AutoDome camera is ideally suited for moving imaging applications. The
progressive scan technology incorporated into the camera provides smooth and
clear images when viewing images from a moving camera.
Sodium vapour lamp white balance
The AutoDome is an exceptional performer when shooting under a sodium vapour
lamp (a street lamp or tunnel lamp, for example). Images under these conditions
may have a yellowish tint, which may make identification difficult. In the
Sodium Vapor White Balance mode, the AutoDome automatically compensates for the
light from a sodium vapour lamp to restore objects to their original colour.
System Overview
The AutoDome 600 Series offers variable pan and tilt speeds, and the AutoPivot
feature ensures optimal camera control and viewing at all zoom levels. These
high-performance zoom autofocus cameras incorporate the latest digital imaging
technology with excellent sensitivity and resolution. With 99 user defined
presets as well as tour and AutoPan modes, The AutoDome 600 Series is not small
on features. The AutoDome 600 Series adds real intelligence to your video
surveillance applications. Equipped with AutoTrack II, Bosch’s award-winning
motion tracking software, built-in image stabilization, motion engine, the
AutoDome 600 Series incorporates advanced, intelligent video features unmatched
by any other camera system.
The AutoDome 600 Series supports standard and optional video and data
transmission methods, including Bilinx (over coax and UTP) and fiber optic.
Remote control, configuration, and firmware updates can also be performed over
these cables, offering you unparalleled control of your cameras. Cable
compensation provides extended coaxial and UTP distance runs while preventing
the image quality degradation caused by signal losses from long cable lengths.
AutoDome 600 Series Functions
The following are some of the features that make the AutoDome 600 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 camera, and
the AutoDome delivers. The AutoDome 600 Series camera has a 1/4-in. CCD sensor,
with 4CIF/D1 resolution and sensitivity to below 1.0 lux and is available with a
choice of 28x and the industry-leading 36x optical zoom lens, and all 600 Series
systems offer a full 12x digital zoom.
Both camera options provide 550 TVL of horizontal resolution for outstanding
clarity and image detail. The cameras also incorporate 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 AutoDome 600 Series
cameras exceptional performers in all lighting conditions. In low light, these
cameras automatically switch from colour to monochrome by removing the IR filter
to boost the infrared illumination sensitivity, while maintaining superior image
quality. For operation in the darkest conditions, the SensUp control feature
automatically reduces the shutter speed to as little as one second. This
increases sensitivity by more than 50 times.
Accurate control and positioning
With super-quick, 360° per-second pan and 100° per second tilt speeds; the
AutoDome 600 Series outperforms other domes in its class. The 600 Series
supports 99 pre-positions and two styles of Guard Tours: Preset and
Record/Playback. The preset tour has capability for up to 99 pre-positions with
a configurable dwell time between pre-positions, and can be customized as to the
order and frequency each preset is visited. The AutoDome 600 Series also
provides support for two recorded tours, which have a combined duration of 15
minutes of movements.
These are recorded macros of an operator’s movements, including pan, tilt, and
zoom activities, and can be played back in a continuous manner. Supported menu
languages include: English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
AutoTrack II
Bosch introduced the industry’s first automated motion tracking system, and now
we’ve made this award-winning technology even better. The AutoDome 600 Series
contains an advanced DSP that provides real-time video processing for incredibly
smooth object tracking.
AutoTrack II utilizes Bosch’s unique “virtual masking” technology. These
“invisible” masks are created to act just like privacy masks, except that only
the AutoTrack can see them – and it knows to ignore any motion behind them. This
enables the AutoTrack to ignore extraneous background motion, such as a tree
blowing in the wind, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Video motion detection (VMD)
With AutoDome, you can create a “region of interest” within a preset
position where motion is to be detected. The AutoDome 600 Series supports a
total of 10 individual regions of interest (one per preposition). VMD also takes
advantage of virtual masking to ignore areas of unwanted motion.
Image stabilization
As PTZ cameras continue to improve their optical zoom capabilities, image
stabilization becomes critical to eliminate movement caused by unstable camera
mounts. A mere quarter-inch of movement of the camera mount can shift the field
of view by more than 20 feet when the camera is zoomed to a high value. This can
render images unusable.
Image stabilization algorithms included with the AutoDome 600 Series reduces
camera shake in both the vertical and horizontal axis, resulting in exceptional
image clarity (pixel displacement up to +/- 10% for frequencies up to 10 Hz).
Bosch’s unique image stabilization solution does not reduce camera sensitivity,
unlike competitive systems.
Alarm management
The AutoDome 600 Series takes alarm handling to new levels of flexibility and
power.
Inputs and outputs
The AutoDome 600 Series can handle seven alarm inputs, two of which are analogue
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 600
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
The AutoDome 600 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 600 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. Each mask changes size and shape smoothly and quickly –
ensuring that the covered object cannot be seen. You also have a choice of
colours: black, white, and blurred. Blurred comes in handy when privacy is an
issue, but determining the presence of motion is still required.
Fiber Optic Kit
The VGA-FIBER-AN (multimode) is an analogue, fiber optic conversion kit for use
with 100 and 600 Series AutoDomes. This module is a video transmitter/data
receiver modules designed to be mounted directly into an AutoDome power supply
box.
Ease of installation and servicing
The AutoDome 600 Series has been designed for quick and easy installation; a
key feature from Bosch CCTV products. All housings feature recessed screws and
latches for increased tamper resistance. AutoDome in-ceiling housings provide
IP54 protection (with an optional kit) and are rated IK 8 (IEC 62262). These
housings feature an impact-resistant polycarbonate rugged bubble to protect your
camera from vandalism. The rugged bubble can withstand impacts equivalent to a
4.5 kg (10 lb) weight dropped from a height of 3 m (10 ft).
AutoDome pendant housings (indoor and outdoor) are rated to provide IP 66
protection and come fully assembled with a sunshield and ready for wall or pipe
applications with the proper mounting hardware (purchased separately). In
addition, the pendant housing comes equipped with a low-impact, high resolution
acrylic bubble for enhanced image clarity.
Outdoor Pendant housings provide an operating temperature range down to -40°C
(-40°F). The optional “XT” extreme temperature kit allows an AutoDome to operate
in temperatures down to -60°C (-76°F), ensuring reliable operation in even the
harshest environments.
Note:
Bosch offers a full complement of hardware and accessories (as a separate
purchase) for corner, mast, roof, pipe, and in-ceiling applications, which allow
the AutoDome to be easily adapted to individual site requirements.
Easy upgrades
Bosch’s innovative software, the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID),
allows operators or technicians to control the PTZ, change camera settings, and
even update firmware from virtually anywhere without need for additional wiring.
The AutoDome 600 Series has advanced built-in diagnostics to simplify service
and minimize downtime. Using the On Screen Display (OSD), a technician can
quickly and easily check critical parameters (such as internal temperature and
input voltage level) to verify that the dome is functioning within acceptable
operating limits. If video is not present, a local inspection of three
diagnostic LEDs at the camera site can identify the presence of video and
control data.
