    Go to boschsecurity.us

     

    Online prod catalog

    Cameras PTZ

    Click on a series 300, 500

     

    Then click software link

     

     

    You can download Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices.

    CTFID....it will allow you to connect to your dome, control it and set shows. It does not matter what protocol you set shots...bosch or pelco. The shots are stored on the cpu controller.

     

    Oh and there is a manual for CTFID, it walks you through how to connect.

     

     

    Once you get your shots programmed, hook it back up to your DVR. CTFID operates with either 232, 485 or using a special tool, VP-USB.

    G3 dome - it should go trough a homing sequence.

     

    Do you get video? How many dip switches are up top under the cap? 4 or 8? if its 8, probably doesnt do 485.

     

    Dip switch 2 did the 232 or 485 selection, but I can tell you that the 485 wasnt as reliable and ready until the later years of making it.

     

    Look for a date code or if you do get video, check the firmware on the video - should pop up.

     

     

    Although, my first thoughts are that if your dome is not moving, probably does not work properly.

    I'll explain further...

     

    I DID do a google search for the definitions of each. I did do a search of the CCTV forums. It seems I was unable to understand how or if one limits the other.

     

    If the shutter is open for exposure 1/100,000 of a second, what happens to the 99,999/100,000ths of that second? Obviously the shutter is not closed the rest of the time. As an object is passing by the camera, the shutter repeatedly opens for exposure... probably not 100,000 in a second but more than 30 I suspect. So if the shutter opens... say 100 times per second (whatever that shutter speed is... 100??) for an exposure (image???) but the DVR only takes 30 images (frames???) per second, what happens to the rest of the exposures (images???)?

     

    Does that better explain what I am asking? I took a quick look at the links you posted... Again, I am dense and/or lacking the vocabulary so I didn't see an answer (that I could understand anyway).

     

    Be educated - Watch this video

     

    Shutter speed = light exposure time for 1 image

     

    Learn about dynamic range too..by the same odd guy.

    A matrix switcher can route any input to any output. It can feed the same input to multiple outputs simultaneously. A matrix switch can only feed one camera at a time to a monitor.

     

    A multiplexer typically puts multiple inputs on one output simultaneously; either in real time as a group (2x2, 3x3 or 4x4, etc.) or to a recorder (sequencing the inputs rapidly).

     

     

    This is 100% correct. except you can program the multiplexer to synch the correct IPS (Images Per Second) to a recorder. Most Muxs have a list of supported recorders.

    If your Autodome G3 has 8 DIP switches, it means it has the older chipset. The newer G3 autodomes had 4.

     

     

    The number 2 DIP is what controlled teh mode: RS232 or RS485.

     

    HOWEVER.

     

    It also depended on your firmware revision. Power cycle the camera and see what comes up on the video.

     

    5.0 - 485 was added

    5.10 - Bilinx was finally enabled for use.

    5.31 - Pelco protocol supported

    5.39 - Final firmware release - December 2006
