4.1Stabilization

Surveillance cameras are susceptible to vibrations caused by wind or vibrations emanating from the medium to which the camera is attached. Cameras attached to a pole, roof, or to a bridge are especially vulnerable. Bosch offers the following recommendations to stabilize an AUTODOME 7000 and to decrease the affects of vibration on transmitted images, privacy masks, and Intelligent Tracking.

Pole and Mast Mounts

–Use a pendant arm with the Pole Mount Adapter (VG4-A-9541).

–Do not attach a parapet mount to a pole or mast.

–Use a pole designed specifically for CCTV cameras:

–Do not use a tapered pole.

–Do not use a pole that has signs or other equipment attached.

–Consult EPA rating / Wind load data to select an appropriate pole.

Roof Mounts

–Mount the camera in the most stable location on the roof.

–Avoid locations affected by vibrations such as those caused by a rooftop air conditioner.

–Use guy wires to stabilize the AUTODOME against strong winds.

–Use the LTC 9230/01 Flat Roof Mount Adapter where appropriate. This adapter is made specifically for AUTODOME roof applications.

Extreme Mount Applications

Unique camera mounting applications that are impacted by extreme high winds, heavy traffic, or other conditions may require additional measures to stabilize the camera. Contact a manufacturer that specializes in passive vibration suppression using either damping or isolation.
