(50 lux or better), should be at least 60 seconds in duration, and should have a smooth pan/
tilt path (without erratic stops and starts), with the lens set at a wide angle (infinity focus).
The tour should also include at least 10° of tilt movement.
Preset Tours
For scenarios that require the camera to be in continuous motion for most of the day, Bosch
recommends that you set the camera in Preset Tour mode, moving between a desired set of
presets. For best results, always ensure that each preset has a dwell time of at least 5
seconds.
Notice!
Presets should be saved with One Push (“Spot Focus”) only.
2. Scene Illumination and Focus Settings
Your camera uses a high-sensitivity image sensor and a high-quality lens with a precise drive
train control to maintain the best focus of the image. The Autofocus mechanism tries
continuously to make the image details appear sharp. Under low light and low contrast
scenarios, the Autofocus algorithm may not be able to find the correct focus points because of
the lack of detail in the scene. In this case, it will keep driving the focus motor to find the best
focus. If this state continues for long, the focus mechanism of your camera could be damaged
beyond repair.
For best results, maintain the scene illumination (visible light and/or IR illumination) to a level
that allows the camera to easily resolve the details in the scene. The illumination requirements
are site-specific and should be verified during camera installation and configuration. For best
camera performance, the scene should have at least 50 lux of illumination.
For scenes where sufficient lux level cannot be maintained, the camera should be used with
One Push (“Spot Focus”), and you should avoid using continuous Guard Tours.
3. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
Use the recommended Bosch High PoE 60W Midspan (sold separately from the camera)
between the camera and your PoE network. Improper network connection can result in
intermittent camera reboots. If the camera reboots frequently, test your camera with another
power supply.
If you choose to use a PoE switch, ensure that the switch can support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at,
class 4 standard) devices to optimize its power management, and that the switch meets
requirements for power draw for the product.
!
Warning!
Only in-ceiling models of the AUTODOME can be connected to a PoE+ switch. Outdoor
models should be used only with the Bosch High PoE 60W Midspan.
4. Installation in an area with high humidity
Ideally, the bubble of your dome camera should remain in place. The dome contains a
desiccant pack to control the level of moisture inside the camera. Removing the bubble from
the dome exposes the desiccant to moisture that could negatively affect the performance of
the camera. If you must remove the bubble (for example, to install or remove an SD card), do
not leave the bubble off of the dome for longer than five minutes.
Bosch also recommends that you keep the dome camera in its packaging until you are ready to
install the camera.
