1 Getting Started
Install and wire the AutoDome according to the Bosch AutoDome Modular Camera System
Installation Manual. A typical system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and
appropriate wiring connections. Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete
installation and setup instructions for each of the system components.
1.1 Powering On
When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome
starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up
and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40
seconds and ends with a splash screen.
Figure 1.1 Sample VG4 Startup Splash Screen
The splash screen displays the type of AutoDome, the camera installed, the firmware levels for
various files, and the current IP address (if the AutoDome contains the IP Communications
module). The (P) to the right of the AutoDome series indicates that the AutoDome contains
the optional modules for maintaining internal pressure.
1.2 Establishing AutoDome Control
The most common ways to interface with the AutoDome are:
– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common
and is covered in this manual.
– Using the AutoDome Configuration Tool software running on a PC with Bilinx or the RS-
232/485 communication protocol. Refer to the CTFID User Manual for instructions.
– Using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) such as the Bosch DiBos 8 software.
Refer to the DiBos 8 User Guide for instructions.
– Using the Bosch IP Web interface included with the IP Communications Module.

The Pelco Mode features Auto Baud Detection that automatically detects and adjusts the
AutoDome protocol and baud rate to match that of the controller. The AutoDome responds to
Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocol commands.
4.2.1 Hardware Configuration
The AutoDome is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation in Pelco Protocol Mode.
1. Connect the controller's TX terminals to the AutoDome's TxD terminals. See the
AutoDome Modular Camera System Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.
2. Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the
AutoDome (approximately five (5) seconds).
Figure 4.1 RS-232/RS-485 Selection Switch
4.2.2 Pelco Keyboard Commands
Pelco control commands are composed of a sequence of two (2) keyboard inputs with the
following convention: 1) a Command Number and 2) a Function key input.
The AutoDome uses the PRESET command key to save and recall presets (pre-positions) 1
through 99.
NOTICE! The AutoDome supports only the RS-485 protocol while in Pelco mode. It does not
transmit responses back to the controller.
NOTICE! If control is not established, ensure that the RS-232/RS-485 selector switch is
positioned to RS-485 (outward toward the LED lights). This switch is located on the bottom of
the AutoDome CPU board, under the camera head and next to the LED lights. See Figure 4.1.

3 LEDs
4 RS485
NOTICE! To save a preset, enter the desired number and hold the PRESET key for
approximately two (2) seconds. To recall a preset, enter the desired preset number (or
command) and momentarily press and release the PRESET key.

7 Advanced Features
This chapter details the advanced features of the AutoDome Modular Camera System.
7.1 Alarm Rules (300 and 500i Series Only)
The 300 and 500i Series AutoDomes feature a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form,
an alarm rule defines those inputs that activate specific outputs. In its more complex form, a
rule can be programmed to take any combination of inputs and keyboard commands to
perform a dome function. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and outputs that
can be programmed into twelve alarm rules.
7.1.1 Controlling Alarm Rules
The AUX 69 command allows a user to enable or disable all alarm rules. By default, alarm rules
are enabled until the OFF-69-ENTER command is issued from a keyboard (there is no
corresponding menu item for this command). Disabling alarms rules does not erase the rule,
the AutoDome preserves the user-defined settings and the rule data is restored when the ON-
69-ENTER command is issued.
The OFF-69-ENTER command performs the following actions:
– Disables all alarm rules
– Displays the message “Ack and Reset Alarms” if an alarm-rule triggered alarm is active
when the AutoDome receives the disable command. You must acknowledge the alarm
before the rule is disabled.
– Prevents the modification of an alarm rule while disabled.
7.1.2 Alarm Rule Examples
Following are three examples for setting up alarm rules. The first example is a basic alarm
rule, and the second and third examples are more complex.
Example 1: Basic Alarm Rule
Scenario: We want a door alarm contact to:
1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 1***) on the display when the alarm is triggered.
2. Move the AutoDome camera to a saved position. (For this example Shot 7.)
3. Transmit a Bilinx signal over the coax cable to the headend system, such as an Allegiant,
to trigger an alarm response.
The sequence to program the above alarm rule example is as follows:
1. Wire the door contact to Input 1 in the AutoDome. This circuit is normally open.
2. Define the Alarm Input(s)
– From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set to N.O. (This is the
default setting for Input 1.)
NOTICE! For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the AutoDome Modular
Camera System Installation Manual.
VG4 Modular Camera System Advanced Features | en 49
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User’s Manual F.01U.133.268 | 6.0 | 2010.03
2. Click the Online Config button and then expand Alarm.
Figure 7.2 Expanded Alarm Group
3. Expand Output Options; then click Output Option 5.
4. Select Tracking from the Type drop-down list.
5. Click Output Option 6.
6. Select Shot from the Type drop-down list.
7. Type the number 1 or use the slide bar to specify shot number 1. (Shot numbers must be
set prior to configuring an alarm rule. See Section 3.2 Setting Preset Shots, page 30, for
instructions).
The AutoDome moves to this preposition when the alarm rule is true.
Figure 7.3 Output Option 6 Configuration
8. Expand Alarm Rule; then click Alarm Rule 1.
9. Click the Yes radio button to enable the rule.
10. Type the number 1 1 or use the slider bar to select for the Input option.
11. Select Alarm Input 1 from the Input Option drop-down list.
12. Ensure that the Output number is set to 1.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User’s Manual F.01U.133.268 | 6.0 | 2010.03
7.2.1 AutoTrack Settings and Recommendations
AutoTrack operates by recognizing an individual in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50%
of the field of view for an average target height of six feet. In addition to the camera height,
other factors may interfere with AutoTrack operation.
Setting the Camera Height
To ensure smooth tracking set the Camera Height accurately. Bosch recommends a minimum
camera height of 3.6 m (12 ft).
1. Press OFF-90-ENTER to turn off the command lock.
2. Press ON-46-ENTER to access the Main Menu.
3. Use the joystick to highlight the Advanced menu.
4. Press Focus/Iris to open the menu.
5. Highlight the Camera Height option and press the Focus/Iris button.
6. Enter a value between 3.6 m (12 ft) and 100 m (328.1 ft).
7. Press Focus/Iris again to accept the camera height value.
8. Exit the Advanced menu; then exit the Main menu.
Ensuring Smooth AutoTrack Operation
Factors such as the viewing angle and unwanted motion (from trees, for example) may
interfere with AutoTrack operation. Use the following recommendations to ensure smooth
AutoTrack operation:
–Mount/Mounting Surface Stability
– Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,
such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause
complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.
– Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most
stability for the camera.
– Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.
–Field of View
– Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across
the camera’s field of view.
– Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera.
– Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or
intersections.
–Unwanted Motion
– Use the Virtual Masking feature (see Section 7.3 Virtual Masking (500i Series Only),
page 52) to mask unwanted motion from trees or cars.
Bosch recommends that you draw the virtual mask 10% larger than the object to be
masked.
– Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a
window or mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the
AutoTrack operation. Use a Virtual Mask to hide these type of lights if they cannot be
avoided.
– Check the virtual mask periodically to ensure that it still covers the entire object to
be masked. Adjust the mask if necessary.

8.4 Configuring the IP AutoDome Camera
To operate the camera in your network you must assign it a valid network IP address. The
default IP address is 192.168.0.1, but you may have to change this address if it conflicts with
another device on your network.
To properly configure the camera for your network, you need the following information:
– Unit IP address: An identifier for the camera on a TCP/IP network. For example,
140.10.2.110 is a valid syntax for an IP address.
– Subnet mask: A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
– Gateway IP address: A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network.
– Port: An endpoint to a logical connection in TCP/IP and UDP networks. The port number
identifies the use of the port for use through a firewall connection.
The IP AutoDome defaults are as follows:
– IP Address: 192.168.0.1
– Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
