The AutoDome Modular Camera System
 Bosch
Security Systems launched their CCTV system that never becomes
obsolete. One that allows you to upgrade functionality, adapt
to changing security needs and migrate to new technologies without
even having to power down your system. One that features advanced
intelligence capabilities for capturing the most accurate images
possible, and IP functionality for the most efficient transmission
and storage of those images. This is the revolutionary concept
behind the IP-enabled AutoDome Modular Camera System. With the
new AutoDome, one camera and a series of interchangeable modules
adapt to your changing security needs. The entire system is based
on five types of interchangeable modules: the CPU, camera, housing,
communications and power supply. Simply replace one of the modules
to switch from fixed to PTZ, upgrade from color to day/night,
or add advanced intelligence features like motion tracking and
IP communication. Never before have you been able to adapt a
system as quickly or inexpensively. To obtain more information
