Bosch MIC-550ALW36P 550TVL Outdoor PTZ CCTV Analog Security Camera (PAL) with 36x Optical Zoom

Bosch MIC-550ALW36P 550TVL Outdoor PTZ CCTV Analog Security Camera (PAL) with 36x Optical Zoom

The MIC Series 550 camera combines cutting-edge technology with the latest production techniques to provide a class-leading feature set in an economical package. The MIC Series 550 range takes high quality surveillance to new levels of excellence. As a best-fit camera for virtually any security application, it can be installed in the harshest of environments. Thanks to its IP68-rated aluminum casing, the MIC Series 550 camera functions perfectly in the most demanding conditions. This tough and vandal-resistant casing provides protection from the elements and physical attack. An integrated long-life silicone wiper and a reversible rain shield ensure high quality images regardless of the installed environment. The brushless-motor technology offers ultra-reliable operation with full 360º continuous rotation pan and 270º tilt control for exceptional viewing capability. Small increment pan speeds from just 0.2º per second to 120º per second gives the user precise control. This speed control is especially important when used with video analytic systems, particularly for tracking subjects when fully zoomed in.

The MIC Series 550 camera incorporates Bosch’s standard controller interface supporting familiar AutoDome on-screen menus. This enhancement makes it simple to integrate and use the MIC Series 550 within systems that already use Bosch AutoDome cameras and systems.

When powered by a MIC IP Power Supply, the MIC camera becomes an IP-enabled device with extra features such as Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA), and the ability to record video on a network-attached RAID iSCSI storage device or locally on a user-supplied SD or SDHC card (32 GB maximum). The optional “hybrid” operation provides video and control of the MIC camera over both analog (Bilinx over coax) and IP connections simultaneously.

Robust design rated to an industry-leading IP68

Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and immersion tests (IP68), MIC Series cameras are perfectly suited for installation in even the most unforgiving environments. Reliable ‘O’ ring seals completely protect the internal components from the external environment, meaning that there is no need to pressurize the camera. To guarantee the seal, the factory subjects each MIC camera to a 100% leak test before shipping. In addition, the cameras’ aluminum construction is protected from corrosion by two different processes: first, the cameras receive a coating of Alodine 5200, a chromate-free conversion coating of aluminum that is used in the aerospace and defense industries where a protective layer is required to improve corrosion resistance. Second, they receive a robust, powder coat layer of paint.

Various mounting options, including on-site canting

The MIC Series 550 camera features twist-lock on-site canting functionality. This allows the camera to be installed upright, inverted, or canted (at a 45º angle) to achieve the perfect field of view. No matter the installation position, the camera will operate faultlessly.

Integrated wiper

Regardless of the weather, the MIC Series 550 camera is able to capture the highest possible quality image all year long, thanks to its integrated, long-life silicone wiper.

Multi-protocol operation

Compatible with a multitude of protocols, including Bosch “Biphase (OSRD)” and “Bilinx,” Pelco “P” and “D,” and Forward Vision, the MIC Series 550 camera integrates seamlessly with existing security systems.
