Getting Started  
Install and wire the AutoDome according to the VG5 AutoDome Installation Manual. A typical  
system includes a keyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections.  
Please refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions  
for each of the system components.  
1.1  
Powering On  
When you turn the AutoDome power on there is a ten (10) second pause before the dome  
starts its homing phase. During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and tilts up  
and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire homing phase lasts approximately 40  
seconds and ends with a firmware version screen.

Pelco-D  
American Dynamics (AD) Manchester  
American Dynamics (AD) Sensormatic RS-422  
The VG5 AutoDome natively supports the two Pelco protocols. To use the AD Manchester or  
the AD Sensormatic RS-422 protocol you must purchase a separate module. The module  
contains instructions to install any additional hardware and information about additional on-  
screen menus.  
4.1  
Setting FastAddress with Alternative Protocols  
The VG5 AutoDome offers remote addressing via the FastAddress capability from a keyboard  
that uses an alternative protocol. The FastAddress feature allows you to instal all domes first,  
then set the addresses via the control system. Since it is not necessary to go to the camera’s  
physical location, this feature makes it easier to readdress cameras at a later time.  
4.1.1  
Using an American Dynamics Controller  
Prior to setting the FastAddress for each camera, all cameras will initially move together. After  
the Unique Identifier is set, only the camera that was set with the FastAddress is capable of  
sending and receiving commands. When setting the FastAddress, it is important to remember  
that some American Dynamics Manchester systems use address blocks of 1 to 64, while  
American Dynamics Sensormatic systems typically use address blocks of 1 to 99; meaning  
that when the controller/keyboard displays video for cameras higher than 64 or 99 the  
keyboard/controller sends a different control code to the camera (see Section A Appendix:  
FastAddress Conversions, page 64, for conversion charts). For example at Camera 65, the  
American Dynamics Manchester system sends out an address of 1, while the Sensormatic RS-  
422 system with an address of 100 also sends out an address of 1.  
It is NOT NECESSARY to convert these numbers with the Bosch FastAddress method. The  
camera automatically detects the address being transmitted by the Sensormatic RS-422  
control system and adjusts the camera accordingly.

Using a Pelco Controller  
This section provides instructions to set a FastAddress with a Pelco keyboard or controller.  
An AutoDome with an address set to 0 responds to commands set to any address.  
Pelco-P protocol must use addresses 1 to 32.  
Pelco-D protocol must use addresses 1 to 254.  
NOTICE!  
A previously configured AutoDome with an address above 32 (Pelco-P upper limit) or 254  
(Pelco-D upper limit) can be used without readdressing the unit. However, no two (2)  
addresses can be the same. For example:  
Pelco-P addresses above 32 are repeated in multiples of 32 (1, 33, 65, 97 are the same).  
Pelco-D addresses above 254 are repeated in multiples of 254 (1, 255, 509, 763 are the  
same).  
Setting FastAddress with a Pelco Keyboard  
1. Press and hold 95-PRESET for two seconds to open the Pelco Setup menu.  
2. Move the joystick to select the Command Lock menu.  
3. Press the FOCUS or the IRIS button to turn Command Lock to OFF.  
4. Move to the FastAddress menu and press the FOCUS or the IRIS button to open the  
menu.  
5. Use the joystick to enter the unique identifier for the VG4 AutoDome.  
Move the joystick up or down to select the number.  
Move the joystick right to move to the next number position.  
6. Move the joystick right to select Continue. Then, press the FOCUS or the IRIS button.  
7. Use the keyboard to enter the FastAddress number. Then, press the Camera button.  
Note: You must first clear an assigned FastAddress number to use the number for a  
different VG4 AutoDome.

Pelco Protocol Mode  
The Pelco Mode features Auto Baud Detection that automatically detects and adjusts the  
AutoDome protocol and baud rate to match that of the controller. The AutoDome responds to  
Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocol commands.  
NOTICE!  
The AutoDome supports only the RS-485 protocol while in Pelco mode. It does not transmit  
responses back to the controller.  
4.2.1  
Hardware Configuration  
The AutoDome is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation in Pelco Protocol Mode.  
1. Connect the controller's TX terminals to the AutoDome's TxD terminals. See the  
AutoDome Modular Camera System Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.  
2. Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the  
AutoDome (approximately five (5) seconds).  
NOTICE!  
If control is not established, ensure that the RS-232/RS-485 selector switch is positioned to  
RS-485 (outward toward the LED lights). This switch is located on the bottom of the  
AutoDome CPU board, under the camera head and next to the LED lights. See Figure 4.1.

Advanced Features  
This chapter details the advanced features of the VG5 AutoDome Camera.  
7.1  
Alarm Rules  
The AutoDome features a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form, an alarm rule  
defines those inputs that activate specific outputs. In its more complex form, a rule can be  
programmed to take any combination of inputs and keyboard commands to perform a dome  
function. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and outputs that can be  
programmed into twelve alarm rules.  
7.1.1  
Controlling Alarm Rules  
The AUX 69 command allows a user to enable or disable all alarm rules. By default, alarm rules  
are enabled until the OFF-69-ENTER command is issued from a keyboard (there is no  
corresponding menu item for this command). Disabling alarms rules does not erase the rule,  
the AutoDome preserves the user-defined settings and the rule data is restored when the ON-  
69-ENTER command is issued.  
The OFF-69-ENTER command performs the following actions:  
Disables all alarm rules  
Displays the message “Ack and Reset Alarms” if an alarm-rule triggered alarm is active  
when the AutoDome receives the disable command. You must acknowledge the alarm  
before the rule is disabled.  
Prevents the modification of an alarm rule while disabled.  
7.1.2  
Alarm Rule Examples  
Following are three examples for setting up alarm rules. The first example is a basic alarm  
rule, and the second and third examples are more complex.  
Example 1: Basic Alarm Rule  
Scenario: We want a door alarm contact to:  
1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 1***) on the display when the alarm is triggered.  
2. Move the AutoDome camera to a saved position. (For this example Shot 7.)  
3. Transmit a Bilinx signal over the coax cable to the headend system, such as an Allegiant,  
to trigger an alarm response.  
The sequence to program the above alarm rule example is as follows:  
1. Wire the door contact to Input 1 in the AutoDome. This circuit is normally open.  
2. Define the Alarm Input(s)  
From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set to N.O. (This is the  
default setting for Input 1.)  
NOTICE! For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the VG5 AutoDome  
Installation Manual.  
3. Define the Alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:  
a. Ensure Output 5 is set to OSD. (This is the default setting for Output 5.)  
b. Set Output 6 to Shot 7.  
c. Set Output 7 to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the head end).

4. Set up the Alarm Rule (for this example use Rule 1). Select the Inputs from the Rule  
Setup menu:  
a. Select Rule 1.  
b. Set the first input to Alarm Input 1.  
5. Select the outputs:  
a. Set the first output to OSD.  
b. Set the second output to Shot 7.  
c. Set the third output to Transmit.  
6. Enable the rule:  
Highlight Enabled and select YES.  
Example 2: Advanced Alarm Rule  
Scenario: A VG5 AutoDome located at an airport is set to AutoPan Between Limits from the  
parking garage to the airport terminal. The gate entering the airport has an alarm contact  
connected to the AutoDome, and the perimeter fence in the area of the gate has an infrared  
(IR) motion detection sensor connected to the AutoDome.  
When both the gate contact and motion detector alarms are activated at the same time, we  
want the alarm rule to:  
1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 2***) on the monitor.  
2. Stop the AutoPan and move the camera to a saved position (Shot 5) viewing the fence.  
3. Turn on AutoTrack.  
4. Transmit a Bilinx signal to the head end system to trigger an alarm response.  
The sequence to program this alarm rule example is as follows:  
1. Wire and set the alarm Input(s).  
a. Wire the motion detector to Input 1. (This circuit is normally open.)  
b. Wire the gate alarm contact to Input 5. (This circuit is normally closed.)  
NOTICE!  
For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the AutoDome Modular Camera  
System Installation Manual.  
2. From the Inputs Setup menu:  
a. Ensure Input 1 (the motion detector) is set to N.O. (This setting is the default for  
Input 1.)  
b. Ensure Input 5 (the gate contact) is set to N.C.  
3. Set the alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:  
a. Set Output 5 to OSD.  
b. Set Output 6 to Transmit.  
c. Set Output 7 to Shot 5.  
d. Set Output 8 to AutoTrack.  
4. Set up the Alarm Rule (for this example use Rule 2). Select the alarm Inputs:  
a. From the Rule Setup menu select Rule 2.  
b. Set the first input to Alarm Input 1. (The motion detector.)  
c. Set the second input to Alarm Input 5. (The gate alarm contact.)  
5. Select the alarm Outputs:  
a. Set the first output to OSD.  
b. Set the second output to Shot 5 viewing the fence.  
c. Set the third output to AutoTrack and select Latched.  
d. Set the fourth output to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the headend).  
6. Enable the alarm Rule:  
Highlight Enabled and select YES.

AutoTrack Operation  
The AutoDome features enhanced AutoTrack software with more versatility and smoother  
object tracking. AutoTrack continuously follows an individual even if the person passes behind  
a Privacy Mask. When used with Virtual Mask, it is able to ignore predefined areas of  
background motion.  
You can manually start AutoTrack or program the AutoDome to automatically turn on  
AutoTrack.

NOTICE!  
For proper operation AutoTrack requires that the camera height be set in the software. Open  
the Bosch Main menu, select the Advanced menu and select Camera Height to enter the  
height.  
7.2.1  
AutoTrack Settings and Recommendations  
AutoTrack operates by recognizing an individual in motion and zooms-in to approximately 50%  
of the field of view for an average target height of six feet. In addition to the camera height,  
other factors may interfere with AutoTrack operation.  
Setting the Camera Height  
To ensure smooth tracking set the Camera Height accurately. Bosch recommends a minimum  
camera height of 3.6 m (12 ft).  
1. Press OFF-90-ENTER to turn off the command lock.?  
2. Press ON-46-ENTER to access the Main Menu.?  
3. Use the joystick to highlight the Advanced menu.?  
4. Press Focus/Iris to open the menu.?  
5. Highlight the Camera Height option and press the Focus/Iris button.?  
6. Enter a value between 3.6 m (12 ft) and 30.7 m (100 ft).  
7. Press Focus/Iris again to accept the camera height value.  
8. Exit the Advanced menu; then exit the Main menu.  
Ensuring Smooth AutoTrack Operation  
Factors such as the viewing angle and unwanted motion (from trees, for example) may  
interfere with AutoTrack operation. Use the following recommendations to ensure smooth  
AutoTrack operation:

Mount/Mounting Surface Stability  
Mount the camera in the most stable position. Avoid locations affected by vibrations,  
such as those caused by a roof-top air conditioner. These vibrations may cause  
complications when the camera zooms-in on a target.  
Use the pendant arm mount, if possible. This mount option provides the most  
stability for the camera.  
Use guy wires to protect against strong winds if using the parapet mount.  
Field of View  
Select a location and viewing angle that allows the flow of people to move across  
the camera’s field of view.  
Avoid motion that moves directly towards the camera.  
Avoid locations that attract large numbers of people, such as retail stores or  
intersections.  
Unwanted Motion  
Use the Virtual Masking feature (see Section 7.3 Virtual Masking, page 50) to mask  
unwanted motion from trees or cars.  
Bosch recommends that you draw the virtual mask 10% larger than the object to be  
masked.  
Avoid neon lights, flashing lights, night time lights, and reflected light (from a  
window or mirror, for example). The flickering of these lights can affect the  
AutoTrack operation. Use a Virtual Mask to hide these type of lights if they cannot be  
avoided.  
Check the virtual mask periodically to ensure that it still covers the entire object to  
be masked. Adjust the mask if necessary.  
7.2.2  
AutoTrack Optimization  
The AutoDome achieves optimum tracking performance when the focal length of the lens  
during AutoPan is as close to the focal length of the lens during an AutoTrack operation. The  
ambient light conditions also affect the AutoTrack performance.  
Dynamic Light Conditions  
The ambient lighting conditions affect AutoTrack performance, especially in outdoor dynamic  
lighting conditions that change daily or hourly. To optimize the AutoTrack performance under  
changing light conditions, Bosch recommends that you configure the AutoTrack Sensitivity  
and the AutoPan speeds.  
Bosch recommends setting the AutoTrack Sensitivity to Auto and suggests the following  
AutoPan speed for outdoor conditions:  
Camera Focal Length  
Maximum Suggested AutoPan Speed  
(degrees/sec)  
Near-field (Wide Angle)  
Mid-field  
5
2
1
Far-field (Telephoto)  
If you need a higher AutoPan speed, set the AutoTrack Sensitivity to a value between 1 and 10  
in the Advanced Feature Setup menu.

Consistent Light Conditions  
You may use higher AutoPan speeds in consistent indoor or outdoor ambient light conditions,  
but Bosch recommends not exceeding a speed of more than 15 degrees/sec. Then modify the  
AutoTrack Sensitivity setting to reach the optimal results.  
7.3  
Virtual Masking  
Virtual Masking is a unique Bosch technology that allows you to create an “invisible” area that  
ignores unwanted background motion. These invisible masks are similar to privacy zones,  
except that the AutoDome AutoTrack and Motion Detection algorithms can see them.  
To configure a Virtual Mask, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, then select  
Virtual Masking. To setup a Virtual Mask follow the on-screen menu instructions.  
In Pelco Mode, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, then select Virtual  
Masking. To setup a Virtual Mask follow the on-screen menu instructions.  
NOTICE!  
Draw the mask 10% larger than the object to ensure that the mask completely covers the  
object as the AutoDome zooms in and out.  
7.4  
Privacy Masking  
Privacy Masking is used to block out a specific area of a scene from being viewed. Mask  
choices include black, white, or blurred, and can be configured with three, four, or five  
corners to cover more complex shapes.  
NOTICE!  
Privacy Masking does not hinder AutoTrack from tracking an object.  
To configure a Privacy Mask, open the Main menu, select Display Setup, and then select  
Privacy Mask. Alternatively, enter the keyboard command ON-87-ENTER. To setup a  
privacy mask, follow the on-screen menu instructions.  
In Pelco Mode open the Pelco Main menu, open the Bosch menu, select the Display  
Setup menu, and finally select Privacy Masking. To setup a privacy mask, follow the on-  
screen menu instructions.

Motion Detection with Region of Interest  
(Preset positions 90 through 99)  
With the VG5 Series AutoDome, the motion detection software can be configured to create a  
Region of Interest within multiple preset positions or scenes. It can take advantage of Virtual  
Masking to ignore motion in predefined areas. Motion Detection can also be used as an Alarm  
Rule input.  
Preset positions 90 through 99 are reserved for programming motion detection scenes.  
NOTICE!  
Motion Detection always takes precedence over AutoTrack object tracking.  
To set up a scene with Motion Detection:  
1. Choose an unused Preset position from 90 to 99. For this example use Preset scene 95.  
2. Enter the keyboard command SET-95-ENTER.  
3. Select YES at the Apply Motion Detection? prompt. (If NO is selected, the Preset scene  
does not activate Motion Detection.)  
4. Select YES at the Apply Region of Interest? prompt. (If NO is selected, the entire scene is  
used for Motion Detection.)  
5. Follow the on-screen menu instructions to construct the shape of the screen area you  
want to detect motion within.  
NOTICE! Up to five (5) anchor points can be used to form the area which you want to detect  
motion within. Motion Detection is not activated until the Preset scene is recalled. The Motion  
Detection icon "M" appears in the upper left-hand corner of the display.  
7.6  
7.7  
Image Stabilization  
Image Stabilization becomes increasingly important as zoom ranges are extended. The  
advanced image stabilization algorithms of the VG5 Series AutoDome eliminate camera shake  
for exceptional image clarity. Bosch achieves this clarity without reducing camera sensitivity  
or picture quality.  
To configure image stabilization, open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, and  
then select Stabilization to turn on the feature.  
In Pelco Mode open the Main menu, select the Advanced menu, and then select  
Stabilization to turn on the feature.  
Pre-position Tour  
The VG5 Series AutoDome features (2) preset tours. Each preset scene is saved for playback  
later.  
Tour 1 is a standard tour that only recalls the scenes in the exact sequence they were shot.  
Scenes can be added or deleted on the tour, but the sequence cannot be changed. To add or  
remove scenes on Tour 1 enter the keyboard command SHOT-900-ENTER and follow the on-  
screen instructions.  
Tour 2 is a customizable tour that allows you to rearrange the sequence of scenes on the tour  
by inserting and deleting scenes. To enter the Edit Tour 2 menu, enter the keyboard command  
SET-900-ENTER and follow the on-screen instructions.

AutoDome 600 Series Analog PTZ Camera  
7.8  
Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass Directions  
The VG5 AutoDome allows a user to display the azimuth and elevation position, and the  
compass heading of the camera. The AutoDome displays the position data in the lower-right  
corner of the image display. These readings are described as:  
Azimuth:  
The pan angle from zero to 359 degrees in one degree increments. An azimuth  
of zero degrees corresponds to North.  
Elevation: The tilt position from zero (horizon) to –90 degrees (camera pointing straight  
down) in one degree increments.  
Compass: The cardinal or intercardinal (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) heading in which the  
camera is pointing.  
The AutoDome uses the azimuth to determine the compass direction. The following table  
shows the azimuth range and its corresponding compass heading:  
Azimuth Range  
21° to 65°  
Compass Direction  
NE (Northeast)  
E (East)  
SE (Southeast)  
S (South)  
SW (Southwest)  
W (West)  
NW (Northwest)  
N (North)  
66° to 110°  
111° to 155°  
156° to 200°  
201° to 245°  
246° to 290°  
291° to 335°  
336° to 20°  
7.8.1  
Setting the Azimuth Zero Point  
The installer must calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. The AutoDome uses the Azimuth Zero  
point, usually set to magnetic North, as the zero degree pan position and as the North  
compass heading. The AutoDome then displays the azimuth reading and the compass heading  
based on the number of degrees from the Azimuth Zero point.  
To set the Azimuth Zero point:  
1. Determine the North compass heading, then move the camera to that position.  
2. Press OFF-90-ENTER to turn off the command lock (if active).  
3. Press ON-94-ENTER to set the Azimuth Zero point.  
CAUTION!  
Bosch recommends that only the installer calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. A recalibration to  
the Azimuth Zero point may cause inaccurate compass headings.

AutoDome 600 Series Analog PTZ Camera  
7.9.1  
AutoHome Recalibration Operation  
Recalibration occurs when the AutoDome loses its home position or after the specified time  
interval has elapsed. Once a recalibration event occurs, the AutoDome will delay the start of  
the recalibration for15 minutes to ensure that all manual commands have ceased. Manual  
control is defined as a pan or tilt movement.  
If after the initial 15-minute delay the AutoDome is still under manual control, the unit delays  
the start of recalibration for another 15 minutes.  
It is recommended to set the Inactivity (AUX ON 9) to Shot 1 or to Previous AUX so the  
AutoDome returns to a preset position or starts a tour after the recalibration process is  
complete.  
The AutoHome recalibration behaves in the following manner under specific circumstances:  
AutoTracker  
If the AutoDome is actively tracking an object with AutoTracker when the interval elapses  
or a loss of home is detected, the unit will delay recalibration until the AutoTracker stops  
tracking.  
Preset or Recorded Tour  
If the AutoDome is performing a preset or playback of a recorded tour when the interval  
elapses or a loss of home is detected, the unit will start the recalibration process  
immediately. If the Inactivity command (AUX ON 9) is set to Return to AUX, the unit will  
resume the tour after the recalibration process is complete.  
7.9.2  
Using the AutoHome Recalibration  
Use the following procedure for the initial setup of the AutoHome Recalibration:  
1. Issue the AUX ON 680 command to check the status of the recalibration settings. This  
command displays a status screen that shows the following information:  
Setting

Number of Recals Total number of homing recalibrations performed due to loss of home or  
interval  
Next Cal  
Shows the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next homing  
recalibration  
2. Set the Recalibration Mode to recalibrate on the loss of home and after every interval:  
Issue the AUX ON 682 command.  
Issue the AUX ON 682 command again.  
Note: The AUX ON 682 command must be issued twice only for the initial setup.  
Each subsequent AUX ON 682 command toggles the mode as described in the table  
above.  
3. Set the Recalibration Interval by issuing the AUX ON 683 and the AUX OFF 683  
commands. For example, to set the Recalibration Interval to 24 hours, issue the AUX ON  
683 commands four times.  
4. Set the Initial Offset Time by issuing the AUX ON 684 and the AUX OFF 684 commands.  
For example, to set the Initial Offset Time to 8 hours, issue the AUX ON 684 command  
twice.  
5. Issue the AUX ON 681 command to enable the recalibration routine.
