The International (SI) unit of measurement of the intensity of light. It is equal to the illumination of a surface one meter away from a single candle.

A method of more accurate and sophisticated video processing.

Each AutoDome has a numerical address in the control system in which it is located. This allows the appropriate dome to be operated. The address may be set locally using the Bilinx Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID) or remotely using the Fast Address function (see Fast Address).

AutoDome's flexible and sophisticated alarm management subsystem that allows "rules" to be created that define which input(s) activate one or more outputs (see Alarm Rule). In its most basic form, a rule could define which input(s) should activate which output(s). In a more complex form, a rule can be programmed to take a specific ke [..]

Bosch's combination of built-in On Screen Displays (OSD) and status LEDs that are used to check critical camera parameters such as internal temperature, input voltage levels, and network connectivity. This allows a technician to quickly determine the source of problems and ensure that the dome is functioning within correct operating limits.

AutoDome's alarm management subsystem that uses "if this, do that" logic to perform specific actions when an event occurs.

Also known as ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reading)

The size of the opening in the iris controlling the amount of light reaching the sensor. The larger the F-Stop number the less light.

Auto Black Compensation is a technique of boosting the video signal level to produce a full-amplitude video signal even when the scene contrast is less than the full range. The darkest part of the signal is set to black and the lightest part to white, thus increasing the contrast.

Fully integrated, high-speed, pan/tilt/zoom camera built into a protective dome housing allowing full and continuous 360° coverage of the scene.
