Video | AutoDome 100 Series Fixed Camera System
Bosch’s AutoDome modular camera system is a
revolutionary new concept in dome cameras. More than
just a series of cameras, it’s a dome platform built around
a system of intelligent, interchangeable modules that
allow you to update camera functionality quickly and cost-
effectively. Using common components lets you install a
basic camera system today and migrate to a more
advanced version tomorrow – without having to replace
the entire dome, thus protecting your initial investment.
Interchangeable modules
The entire AutoDome system is based on five
interchangeable modules: the CPU, camera, housing,
communications, and power supply. Simply swap one of
AutoDome’s interchangeable modules and quickly
upgrade from analog to IP, color to day/night, or add
motion tracking. Never before have you had the ability to
adapt a security system to your changing needs this
quickly or inexpensively.
By using the same housing components, all installations
have a consistent look, and observers have no idea which
type of camera (if any) is watching over them. This
unique, modular design also gives you the flexibility to
move cameras between different housings when special
coverage is needed, or as site plan requirements change.
For example, a fixed color camera over a specific area
could easily be “hot-swapped”to a day/night camera
without removing the power. Migrating from a fixed dome

to a PTZ dome with advanced features such as AutoTrack
II intelligent tracking can be done quickly and easily,
without requiring dome removal or rewiring. AutoDome’s
Ethernet communications module allows you to add IP
functionality while maintaining connectivity to existing
analog inputs and outputs.
100 Series highlights
The AutoDome 100 Series combines the same high-quality
housings used by AutoDome PTZ cameras with the award-
winning imaging technology of Dinion high-resolution
color or day/night fixed cameras and varifocal lenses.
The AutoDome 100 Series supports a variety of standard
and optional video and data transmission methods,
including Bilinx (over coax and UTP), fiber, and even TCP/
IP over Ethernet. Remote control, configuration, and
firmware updates can also be performed over these
cables, offering you unparalleled control of your cameras.
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).
