Firmware
The IP AutoDome is designed in such a way that its functions and parameters can be updated
with firmware. To do this, transfer the current firmware package to the unit via the selected
network. It will then be automatically installed there.
In this way, an IP AutoDome can be serviced and updated remotely without a technician
having to change the installation on site.
You obtain the current firmware and the detailed VG4 Firmware Update Manual from customer
service or from the download area at www.boschsecurity.com.
Configuration
You can save configuration data for the IP AutoDome on a computer and then load saved
configuration data from a computer to the unit.
Upload
1. Enter the full path of the file to upload or click Browse to select the required file.
2. Make certain that the file to be loaded comes from the same unit type as the unit you
want to configure.
3. Next, click Upload to begin transferring the file to the unit. The progress bar allows you
to monitor the transfer.
Once the upload is complete, the new configuration is activated. The time remaining is shown
by the message going to reset Reconnecting in ... seconds. The unit reboots automatically
once the upload has successfully completed.
NOTICE!
The creation of JPEG images has a lower priority than video encoding and image analysis. This
can result in JPEG images being created with a delay of up to several seconds after the
triggering event. If reliable, real-time recording of the alarm is required, ensure that the
encoder has enough computing power available.
CAUTION!
Before launching the firmware upload make sure that you have selected the correct upload
file. Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no longer being addressable, in which
case you must replace the unit.
You should never interrupt the installation of firmware. An interruption can lead to the flash-
EPROM being incorrectly programmed. This in turn can result in the unit no longer being
addressable, in which case it will have to be replaced. Even changing to another page or
closing the browser window leads to an interruption.
Refer to the VG4 Firmware Update Manual (available on www.boschsecurity.com) for complete
instructions.
