9 BVIP Firmware Updates
The AutoDome 800 Series incorporate a network video server in the IP module. The primary
function of the server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a TCP/IP
network. The AutoDome 800 Series also allows an operator to update the BVIP firmware via
the TCP/IP network.
The latest BVIP firmware is available on the Bosch Security Systems Web site. To download
the service pack from the Web, navigate to www.boschsecurity.us, click the CCTV link, then
click Cameras, PTZ and navigate to the product page for the AutoDome 800 Series. Then click
the Software tab on the product page.
9.1 Upgrading the AutoDome 800 Series
The preferred method to update an AutoDome 800 Series is through a direct connection
between the camera and a PC. This method entails connecting the Ethernet cable from the
camera directly to the Ethernet port of a PC.
If the direct-connect method is not practical you can also update the AutoDome 800 Series
through a Local Area Network (LAN). You cannot, however, update the AutoDome 800 Series
through a Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet.
