If the AutoDome receiving an upgrade contains firmware older than the files above, then the

 

AutoDome is considered a pre-production model. Service packs may not properly update a

 

pre-production model. If you do need to update a pre-production model, follow the special

 

instructions in Section 3.1 Pre-production Firmware Versions (All Models), page 31.

Supporting Software Requirements

 

 

 

In addition to the release levels of the service pack files, you must download and install the

 

latest releases of the Bosch ActiveX utility and the Sun Java software. Bosch recommends that

you install this software prior to any VG4 firmware updates. The latest releases of this software is available at www.boschsecurity.com. Once at the site, navigate to the PTZ catalog listing and access one of the AutoDome Modular Camera System products.
