Bosch AutoDome VG4-512-ETE2W endless 360 degree PTZ dome IP camera with 18x zoom day/night motion detection auto tracking

This camera has been discontinued. A suitable alternative is the Panasonic i-Pro WV-SW395.

The Bosch AutoDome VG4-512-ETE2W is part of Bosch’s 500i series of AutoDome cameras offering high quality output and advanced intelligent features such as video motion detection, image stabilisation and auto tracking. Images are delivered at a maximum resolution of 752x582 pixels at up to 25 frames per second.

The Bosch AutoDome series is a unique modular-based system where high quality dome cameras are built from interchangeable components. This allows you to adapt, upgrade or service your camera without having to replace the entire dome. With the included IP communications module the VG4-512-ETE2W can also deliver live video effectively over IP-based networks while maintaining support for traditional analogue CCTV applications. This allows you to protect your existing CCTV investment while you migrate to digital based IP CCTV at your own pace.

The VG4-512-ETE2W is a professional high-speed dome camera with endless 360° rotation and 18x optical zoom housed in a weatherproof, vandal-resistant enclosure for medium to large sized security applications. Like all IP cameras offered on www.networkwebcams.co.uk, the Bosch AutoDome VG4-512-ETE2W has a built-in web server and can be viewed over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet as a streaming IP webcam.

Bosch AutoDome VG4-512-ETE2W - Key benefits:

• The AutoDome’s modular design lets key camera components be swapped easily allowing for quick and cost-effective upgrades or servicing with minimal downtime
• The IP communications module provides hybrid connectivity allowing integration into existing analogue CCTV systems allowing you to migrate to a fully digital solution at your own pace

Bosch AutoDome VG4-512-ETE2W - Key features:

• Interchangeable modules allow key camera components to be swapped without having to replace the entire dome or even cut the power. As your system grows or the requirements change you can upgrade your dome quickly and cost effectively
• Hybrid connection allows the camera to operate on traditional analogue CCTV systems as well as IP-based digital networks
• Tri-streaming video allows viewing of bandwidth efficient 2x MPEG-4 streams while simultaneously recording high quality JPEG images
• Zoom: 18x optical, 12x digital (216x combined)
• High speed dome with 360° endless rotation and pan speeds of 360°/s
• Autotrack II motion tracking uses an advanced DSP to provide real-time video processing giving smooth object tracking. Areas with constant movement such as trees or plants blowing in the wind can be masked from any auto tracking calculations
• Image stabilisation reduces camera shake in both the vertical and horizontal axis resulting in increased image clarity from cameras fixed to unstable mounts which may move due to vibrations from traffic movement or extreme weather conditions
• Video motion detection allows you to create a “region of interest” in any preset position where you wish to detect motion. Positive triggers can be used to raise alarms
• Resolution: 752 x 582 pixels, 470 TVL (PAL)
• Frame rate: 25 images per second (PAL)
• Auto day/night switching will automatically switch to infrared sensitive video in low-light scenes for 24-hour surveillance
• SensUp control provides sensitivity control in low light conditions with shutter speed adjustment
• 99 Available preset positions
• 1x Guard tour covering 99 preset positions with configurable dwell time
• 2x Record/playback tours which allow playback of an operator’s recorded movements including pan/tilt and zoom activities over a maximum 15 minute period
• 7x alarm inputs
• 4x alarm outputs, 1x which is relay rated at 2A
• Advanced alarm control based on an alarm management rules engine uses sophisticated rules based logic to determine how to manage alarms. Not only can you determine which alarm triggers which output but also combine with keyboard commands to perform advanced dome functions
• Built-in diagnostic tools simplify servicing and minimize downtime
• Auto pivot automatically flips the image when a moving target passes underneath allowing you to always maintain optimal control
• IP communications module includes a web server lets you access all user settings, make camera adjustments or update firmware from a standard web browser
• Advanced privacy masking allows dynamic shapes to be placed over sensitive areas of a scene. The masks will move in relation to the pan-tilt-zoom of the camera
• IP66-rated outdoor ready enclosure with tough vandal-resistant case and anti-tamper fittings
• Wall mount installation
