Glossary of AutoDome Terms

Each AutoDome has a numerical address

in the control system in which it is located. This allows
the appropriate dome to be operated. The address may
be set manually on the unit via dip switches or remotely
(see Fast Address).

Fully integrated, high speed, pan/tilt

camera built into a protective dome housing allowing
full 360˚ coverage of the scene.

A patented technology that integrates

motion detection into the camera allowing tracking of
object and zooming in to optimize size and 
perspective.

The lens continuously adjusts to the

correct focus automatically for the sharpest picture.

The lens iris opening is automatically

adjusted to allow the correct illumination of the
camera sensor.

The camera pans continuously between

right and left limit settings.

As the camera tilts through the vertical

position, the camera is rotated to maintain the correct
orientation of the image.

This function records the sequence

of movements of the AutoDome (P/T/Z) for later
playback allowing a set pattern to be repeated
automatically. This function is often called Guard Tour.

As the camera zooms in to increase

the size of objects on the monitor screen, the pan and
tilt speeds are reduced so that the relative speed on the
screen remains constant for similar joystick control
positions.

Bosch solution for an economical

dome package that incorporates a vast amount of the
AutoDome features into a modular, discrete package.

A communications format that allows remote

control, configuration and updates to be performed
over the video cable (Coax or Passive UTP)

Pan/Tilt/Zoom protocol for Bosch products.

An AutoDome that has normal color

operation in situations where there is sufficient 
illumination (day conditions), but where the sensitivity
can be increased when there is little light available
(night conditions). This is achieved by removing the
infrared cut filter used for good color rendition and/or
integrating a number of frames to increase the signal 
to the noise ration of the camera.

AutoDome with environmental 

protection that allows it to be used outdoors in almost
any climate.

A system for setting the address of

the AutoDome remotely from the control system.

A sequence of preset shots combined

to provide a pre-programmed tour of the area covered
by an AutoDome camera.

Allows recorded tours with a combined

duration of 15 minutes. Recorded tours consist of
control commands and can be played back as needed.
All camera position information is stored for
maximum flexibility (including pan, tilt, zoom, etc.).

The IP code (Ingress Protection) indicates 

the degree of protection provided by enclosures for
electrical equipment. The first number indicates 
protection of internal equipment against the ingress of
solid foreign objects. The second number indicates
protection of internal equipment against harmful
ingress of water. Higher digits refer to higher levels of
protection. See also NEMA rating.

(National Electric Manufacturers

Association) Specification standards in reference to 
the operating environment for a variety of electrical
devices.

Camera movement in the horizontal direction.

A pre-selected and stored combination

of pan, tilt and zoom positions that allow a set view to
be recalled. Also known as Preset Shot.

A

housing for outdoor applications that protects against
smog, humidity, dirt and dust.

The ability to mask out a 

specific area to prevent it being viewed.

A communication interface for third

party control and firmware upgrades to the AutoDome
products.

The ability to blank out video

in any of the 16 pan sectors.

With this option the camera can

reduce the shutter speed to as little as one second, thus
increasing the sensitivity to nearly 0.002 lux in select
models. Comes as a standard feature on all color and
day/night EnviroDomes.

Activates Auto Focus for three seconds

after camera movement.

Camera movement in the vertical direction.

Changing the effective focal length to allow 

different fields of view to fill the picture area. Zoom
can be optical, where the lens is adjusted, or digital,
where a portion of the view is magnified electronically.

AutoDomes seamlessly integrate into your IP network
infrastructure using the Bosch IP Network video products.
