The TCP/IP Communications Module is an integral part
of Bosch’s AutoDome Modular Camera System, adding
network connectivity to any AutoDome 100, 200, 300 or
500i Series camera. The TCP/IP module provides
complete network-based control of all dome
functionality including pan/tilt/zoom operation, presets,
tours and alarming as well as web-based configuration
of all dome settings.
AutoDome cameras equipped with the TCP/IP
Communications Module deliver true hybrid operation.
With both Ethernet and analog BNC connections,
network-enabled AutoDome cameras provide direct
network connection while simultaneously supporting
existing analog equipment. The TCP/IP Communications
Module uses MPEG-4 compression, bandwidth
throttling, and tri-streaming capabilities to efficiently
manage bandwidth and storage requirements while
delivering outstanding image quality.
Built-in iSCSI support allows network-enabled
AutoDomes to stream video directly to an iSCSI RAID
array. This eliminates the need to stream all the video
data over the network to a conventional network video
recorder (NVR). The TCP/IP Communications Module
can be configured to send alarm notifications with
associated snapshot images via e-mail. SNMP support is
included for remote device monitoring and
management.
