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.

Overview of Features

 

 

The AutoDome 700 Series includes the following functionality:

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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 Bosch Video Client, or
