2 Using the AutoDome 700 Series
The AutoDome 700 Series transmits PTZ control commands and images over a TCP/IP
network. It also allows users to configure the camera display settings, camera operating
settings, and to configure the network parameters.
The AutoDome 700 Series incorporates a network video server in the IP module. The primary
function of the server is to encode video and control data for transmission over a TCP/IP
network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote
access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks means that
integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily. Video
images from a single camera can be simultaneously received on several receivers.

The AutoDome 700 Series includes the following functionality:

2.2 System Requirements

The AutoDome 700 Series requires specific software and hardware to allow a user to view live
images and to configure camera settings over a TCP/IP network. These requirements are:
– A computer with the Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system,
network access, and the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser version 7.0 or later, or
– A computer with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system, network
access, and reception software such as the Bosch Video Management System or the

Function Description
Video Encoding The camera uses the H.264 compression standards and ensures that the
data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be
adapted to local conditions within wide limits.
Streaming Encodes multiple data streams simultaneously according to individually
customized profiles. This feature creates data streams that can serve
different purposes. For example, one (1) data stream for recording and
one (1) data stream optimized for transmission over the Local Area
Network (LAN).
Multicast Enables simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers. The
network must implement the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols as a
prerequisite for Multicasting.
Configuration Allows configuration for all camera settings from a Web browser on the
local network (Intranet) or on the Internet. You can also update the
firmware, load device configurations, store configuration settings, and
copy these settings from one camera to another.
Snapshots Allows you to take and store individual video frames as JPEG images from
the Web browser interface.
Record Allows configuration for the recording options of the IP module. You can
record video from the Livepage to a hard drive.
