AutoDome
Modular Camera System
The only camera system ready to go wherever the future takes you
The entire system is based on five types of
interchangeable modules: the CPU, camera, housing,
communications and power supply. Simply replace one
of the interchangeable modules to switch from fixed to
PTZ, upgrade from color to day/night, or add advanced
intelligence features like motion tracking and
IP communication. Never before have you been able to
adapt a system as quickly or inexpensively.
The CPU Module determines
fixed or PTZ capability as
well as advanced functions
like privacy masking, motion
detection and tracking.
Camera Module choices
include fixed or PTZ, color or
Day/Night and zoom range.
Power Supply Module
options meet your site
specific installation
requirements, whether
indoor or outdoor, and are
protected against
unexpected surges in power.
The Communications Module
determines how video and
data will be communicated
to the matrix switch,
DVR or IP video system.
Housing Module options are
available for any indoor or
outdoor application.
The AutoDome
Modular Camera System
The world of CCTV will never
be the same
Imagine a CCTV system that never becomes
obsolete. One that allows you to upgrade
functionality, adapt to changing security needs and
migrate to new technologies without even having to
power down your system. One that features
advanced intelligence capabilities for capturing the
most accurate images possible, and IP functionality
for the most efficient transmission and storage of
those images. This is the revolutionary concept
behind the IP-enabled AutoDome Modular Camera
System. With the new AutoDome, one camera and a
series of interchangeable modules adapts to your
changing security needs. The technology is
sophisticated, but the idea couldn’t be simpler.

Upgrading your CCTV system
is now as simple as changing
a lightbulb
Just remove the bubble… Take out the “hot swap” fixed camera module…
And replace the bubble.
AutoDome’s flexible, interchangeable modules allow you to make whatever changes you need without
buying a new system or installing new cameras. It’s the last camera system you’ll ever need to buy –
the only system that can future-proof your security investment. And it’s only available from Bosch.
Put in the new “hot swap” PTZ camera module…

A 200, 300 or 500i CPU Module and PTZ Camera Module are required to add pan/tilt/zoom functionality to an AutoDome 100 Series dome.
As your security needs change, you can expand the functionality of your system by simply replacing the fully interchangeable
CPU, camera and/or communications modules. The main unit remains intact. So you can start with a 100 Series stationary
camera with the most basic features today and move up to an advanced 500i Series PTZ with image stabilization, motion
tracking and alarm handling rules engine tomorrow – all as quickly and easily as changing a lightbulb.

AutoDome camera modules are available with state-of-the-art technologies that are designed to deliver
optimal image clarity, camera control and sensitivity. Whatever the situation, Bosch technology makes it
easy to capture clear images.
See it all with exceptional
clarity and control
High-resolution optics — With horizontal resolution of up to 540 TVL, Bosch generates more TV lines than conventional
CCTV cameras, resulting in dramatically sharper images for clearer and more accurate identification.
6
Day/Night capability — Day/Night cameras automatically
switch from color to monochrome, enhancing sensitivity for
infrared illumination to provide high-quality images even in
low-light conditions.
Extended zoom — Get tight close-ups with optical zoom
lenses from 18x to 26x, or an industry-leading 36x plus a
full 12x digital zoom once the end of the optical zoom is
reached.
Precise camera control — Bosch patented AutoScale
proportional zoom technology automatically reduces
pan and tilt speeds in proportion to the depth of
zoom, ensuring precise camera control regardless of
zoom level. AutoPivot automatically rotates the
camera 180° once it tilts past the vertical position to
maintain correct image orientation.
Enhanced sensitivity — SensUp shutter control
automatically slows shutter speeds to as long as one
full second, increasing sensitivity by more than
50 times for clearer images in low light.
7
Wide dynamic range — Select AutoDome cameras
also incorporate an advanced backlight
compensation technology that dramatically improves
the dynamic range by as much as 128 times, resulting
in clear image reproduction in extreme high contrast
environments.

Range
Without Wide Dynamic
Range
Rigorous endurance testing — All models are subjected
to Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), Highly
Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) and Multiple
Environmental Over Stress Testing (MEOST) to measure
endurance and to ensure reliability.
Durability assured — Dome housings are tested to
ensure resistance to water ingress, corrosion, ultraviolet
rays, and impact.
Extreme conditions testing — Domes and components
are subjected to extreme temperatures, voltages and
vibrations to determine true operating limits.
Quality guaranteed — All AutoDome systems are backed
by an industry-leading 3-year warranty.
Tested tough for proven reliability
The AutoDome Modular Camera System builds
on over 10 years of designing and manufacturing
PTZ dome systems. Bosch subjects the
AutoDome to the most comprehensive and
rigorous battery of endurance tests in the
industry so you can be assured of years of
reliable operation.
8
Improved design — The new compact housing is 15%
smaller than the previous generation AutoDome and all
tethers have been replaced by hinges, for safer, easier
installation. The hinged arm provides access to the
power supply without taking down the dome and built-in
surge suppression protects all power, data and video
inputs. EnviroDome models include an improved heater/
blower that prevents fogging down to -40°C (-40°F).
The “XT” extreme temperature kit extends EnviroDome’s
operating range down to a frigid -60°C (-76°F).
Superior Ingress Protection — All AutoDome pendant
enclosures – indoor and outdoor – are IP66/NEMA 4X
rated, impervious to dust and protected from strong jets
of water. The EnviroDome outdoor enclosure has been
completely redesigned to offer superior corrosion
resistance.
Improved vandal resistance — The protection of a
rugged polycarbonate bubble, recessed set screws and
recessed bubble latch are standard on all AutoDome
housings.

Advanced intelligence
for advanced capabilities
The true intelligence of the AutoDome Modular Camera System lies within the CPU module.
For the most advanced functionality of any dome camera available, turn to the 500i Series CPU.
With built-in image stabilization, motion detection, and a sophisticated alarm handling rules engine,
the AutoDome 500i is unrivaled in the CCTV industry. And even if you don’t need these advanced
capabilities now, the modularity of the new AutoDome gives you the ability to quickly and easily
upgrade to them in the future.
AutoTrack II — The Bosch revolutionary and award-winning automated motion tracking system, AutoTrack, has been
further enhanced in the 500i Series. It contains an advanced DSP, which provides real-time video processing for
incredibly smooth object tracking. The new AutoTrack II also has the ability to continuously follow an object even if it
passes behind a privacy mask. It also uses Bosch’s unique virtual masking technology, which creates invisible masks so
the camera ignores any motion that occurs in that area. This enables AutoTrack II to ignore extraneous background
motion, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor applications.
Video Motion Detection (VMD) — With the AutoDome 500i Series, motion detection software can be configured to
create a region of interest within multiple preset positions where motion is to be detected. AutoDome VMD is much
more accurate than detection based on movement of a camera’s focus motor, which competitive cameras rely on. VMD
also takes advantage of Bosch virtual masking to ignore prescribed areas of motion.

AutoTrack II with virtual masking accurately tracks subjects without getting confused by swaying trees or other moving objects.
