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, an 18x PTZ camera over a specific area
could easily be “hot-swapped” to a 26x day/night without
removing the power.

Migrating from a basic dome to one 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.
200 Series highlights
The AutoDome 200 Series is an economical, high-speed
dome camera that uses a high-performance, 18x color PTZ
camera. The 200 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 (for example cameras) or labor-
intensive components (for example mounts and
housings).

Functions
The following are some of the features that make the
AutoDome 200 Series the most flexible PTZ dome camera
systems in the security industry.
High-performance 18x PTZ color camera
AutoDome 200 Series PTZ color cameras have a 1/4-inch
color CCD. With 470 TVL/480 TVL (NTSC/PAL) horizontal
resolution and sensitivity down to 0.5 lux, the 200 Series
offers exceptional performance at an affordable price. A
rugged motor with fewer moving parts mean the
200 Series uses less power and is extremely reliable,
making it ideal for high-usage applications.

With super-quick, 360° per-second pan and tilt speeds,
the AutoDome 200 Series outperforms other domes in its
class. As with all AutoDome Modular PTZ Camera
Systems, the 200 Series includes AutoScaling
(proportional zoom) and AutoPivot (automatically rotates
and flips the camera), so tracking a subject is effortless.
