Bosch Introduces Updated AutoDome with Extended Optical Zoom Range

July 1, 2005
Camera range extended to 26x, also improved light sensitivity and picture quality

Bosch Security Systems, a full-line manufacturer of high-quality security systems and components, has extended its AutoDome camera optical zoom range to 26x, while enhancing light sensitivity and picture quality. The new 26x optical zoom AutoDome includes a versatile day/night camera that provides superb video from the darkest scenes as well as in daylight. In addition to the extended optical zoom range, the Bosch AutoDome cameras feature a 12x digital zoom, giving a total zoom range of over 310x, which allows users to see minute details close up and clearly.

With the upgraded day/night performance, the extended optical zoom with added digital zoom boost and increased sensitivity for low-light performance, AutoDome provides exceptional coverage and picture quality for virtually every facility and application, including prisons, schools, and airports, as well as commercial and retail environments.

AutoDome camera systems now integrate directly with select manufacturers' control systems, as well as with the standard Bosch options of Biphase, Bilinx (bi-directional communication technology), RS232, or RS485 communication. The AutoDome camera systems provide rugged flexibility and reliable performance in delivering high quality images, indoors or outdoors, day or night.

AutoDome camera systems with AutoTrack monitor an area with a preset tour, but once motion is detected, the camera will automatically lock onto the subject, zoom in for a better view and follow the subject anywhere within the camera's 360-degree coverage area. In addition, when connected to a recording device, and motion is detected by AutoTrack, the recorder immediately begins recording uninterrupted video, concentrating on where the movement occurred.

AutoDome camera systems are available through Bosch manufacturer's representatives.
