Analog Camera Firmware Updates via the CTFID

 

This chapter details the procedure to update the firmware files for an AutoDome 100,

 

AutoDome 600, a MIC Series 550 and a MIC Series 550 UIR analog camera using the

 

Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID). The CTFID connects a computer to an analog

 

camera using a BNC to USB (Bilinx) connection or via a serial (RS232/RS485) connection.

 

Bilinx is a communication protocol that allows you to update the firmware for an analog

 

camera over the video cable (coaxial or passive UTP). For a Bilinx connection, the CTFID is

 

connected to an analog camera using a BNC to USB converter (Bosch part VP-USB). For a

 

serial connection, the analog camera is connected to a computer through the DB9 Com port.

 

The version of the CTFID software must be version 3.13 or higher to interface with an analog

 

camera. (Visit www.boschsecurity.com for the latest version of the CTFID software). For

 

further references and details, refer to the CTFID online help, to the CTFID User’s Manual and

 

to the AutoDome 600 Installation Manual.

 

The latest service pack is available on the Bosch Security Systems Web site.

NOTICE! Use this upgrade method with an AutoDome 100, an AutoDome 600, a MIC Series

550, and a MIC Series 550 IR camera only. If you are updating the AuotDome 700 Series, refer

to Section 1 IP AutoDome Firmware Updates via a TCP/IP Network, on page 1.

Selecting the Service Pack

 

The analog service packs are cumulative. Before you begin a firmware update, check the

 

version of the System Controller Main (SC) firmware currently installed in the camera. The SC

 

Main firmware version determines the service pack with which you must start. To determine

 

the SC Main firmware version, issue the ON-66-ENTERcommand on the keyboard or from the

 

CTFID.

 

 

 

The camera displays the current firmware levels for the camera files. The SC Main firmware

 

level is indicated as item 1 in the illustration below.

This not only reduces your carbon footprint but also translates to lower utility bills, making them an economical choice for conscientious consumers.

Safety features, such as tempered glass doors and child locks, are also priorities in the Bosch 600 Series. These innovations provide peace of mind for families, ensuring that kitchens are safe and secure, even when the oven or other appliances are in use.

Overall, Bosch Appliances 600 Series combines elegant design, innovative technology, and energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their kitchen experience.
