Bosch autodome cameras optical/digital zoom
Bosch Security Systems has extended its AutoDome camera optical zoom range to 26x, while enhancing light sensitivity and picture quality.
Existing AutoDome modules can simply be replaced by modules incorporating newer technology, with no need to change the entire system.
The new AutoDome system is compatible with the entire line of Bosch surveillance products as well as a number of competitive platforms.
Offering maximum flexibility, AutoDome modules are fully interchangeable and 'hot swappable', allowing a system to be quickly and easily adapted to meet changing conditions and security requirements without shutting off the power to the camera - for example, from fixed to PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) or color to day/night.

Bosch Security Systems launch the AutoDome modular camera system, a new series of IP-enabled dome cameras that enable installers to update camera functionality quickly and cost-effectively.
Camera designed for discrete video surveillance
AutoDome Easy, an affordable, compact PTZ camera (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) designed for discrete video surveillance in mid-sized indoor applications, has been announced by Bosch Security Systems.
Advanced capabilities, such as image stabilization or motion detection with tracking, can be added just by changing modules.
The new cameras also allow for hybrid connectivity - the ability to stream IP and analog video simultaneously.
This ensures compatibility with existing analog systems and permits system owners to change over to IP at their own speed, all at once or one camera at a time.
In addition, the new AutoDome cameras easily integrate with the entire line of Bosch surveillance products, including switches, recorders and IP-based video management systems.
The cameras use MPEG-4 encoding and compression to deliver DVD-quality 4CIF (common intermediate format) video at rates of up to 30 frames per second.
Bosch offers AutoDome models that incorporate intelligent features such as built-in image stabilization, motion detection and AutoTrack II automated motion tracking technology.
The new intelligent AutoDomes can detect motion while the camera is moving between presets or on a tour, and can even follow an object that passes behind a privacy mask to ensure continuous tracking.
AutoTrack II utilizes Bosch's unique "virtual masks", so AutoDome detects and tracks only objects in specified areas while ignoring extraneous background motion, making the cameras ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The cameras are offered in four models, ranging from basic level fixed-position, through two levels of PTZ, to the full-featured 500i-Series Intelligent PTZ camera.
The cameras also provide exceptional durability.
All AutoDome pendant housings provide IP66 protection and all come standard with a rugged, vandal-resistant polycarbonate bubble.
In addition, the cameras come with a three-year warranty, the longest available in the security industry on a camera.
