5 Mounting

5.1 Mounting Location and Orientation Options

MIC cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly onto buildings and poles suitable to support CCTV equipment.

Select a secure installation location and mounting orientation for the device. Ideally, this is a location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally.

Select a location where the MIC camera will not touch materials such as steel straps or cables. You can install the camera:

- onto a MIC-DCA or a MIC wall mount (MIC-WMB) with a MIC shallow conduit adapter (MIC-SCA). (Never install the wall mount only.)

or

– directly to a mounting surface using the supplied base gasket and the appropriate connector kit (sold separately):

- MIC-9K-IP67-5PK (IP67 Connector kit for MIC IP fusion 9000i, MIC IP ultra 7100i, and MIC IP starlight 7100i cameras)

To have an installation rated IP67, you must use the appropriate IP67 Connector Kit from Bosch.

Confirm that no residual water or moisture is in the bottom of camera. Ground the camera as described in the chapter "Installing a MIC Camera on a Hinged DCA."

The most common type of mounting location is the top of a pole suitable to support CCTV equipment and that provides a robust mounting platform to minimize camera motion and typically has a large base cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.

Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of a building, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.

The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.

Notice!

Outdoor installation

For details about the proper configuration for installing your camera outdoors with surge and lightning protection, refer to the chapter "Installing the camera outdoors, page 27."

Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors, in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60).

Do not install the device near:

- Any heat sources

- Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where the device may contact power lines, circuits, or lights

Isolate shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable from any high voltage power lines in a separate grounded, metal conduit. Refer to the datasheet for test conditions for allowable transients / voltage fluctuations.

BOSCH MIC IP FUSION 9000i - Notice! - 1

Notice!

Heat sources may obscure the thermal image

Heat sources in the direct FOV of the thermal camera or which can reflect from thermally reflective sources might obscure the thermal image.

Mounting surface recommendations for MIC mounting accessories

The mounting surface should be capable of supporting the combined weight of the MIC camera + MIC Illuminator + MIC mounting accessory (DCA, wall mount, corner bracket, etc.). All expected conditions of load, vibration and temperature should be considered when planning an installation. The material should accommodate a minimum pull-out strength of 275 kg (600 lb).

The mounting accessory should be secured to one of the following surfaces:

  • Concrete (solid / cast)
  • Concrete masonry unit (concrete block)
  • Brick (all types)
  • Metal (steel / aluminum, minimum 3 mm (0.125 in.) thick)

In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.

▶ Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of load, vibration, wind, and temperature.

BOSCH MIC IP FUSION 9000i - Mounting surface recommendations for MIC mounting accessories - 1

Caution!

Risk of lightning strikes

If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes. The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should result.

Installation in a damp environment (for example, near a coastline)

The fasteners shipped with the camera are designed to resist corrosion. Always use Bosch-supplied screws and other fasteners when installing the camera.

The camera head has factory-installed plastic screws that prevent corrosion in the screw holes when no MIC sunshield accessory is attached. Do not remove these screws until you install a sunshield accessory. For complete details, refer to the installation instructions for the sunshield accessory.

Before installation, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is chipped or otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, touch up the damage with paint or sealants available locally.

Avoid installation practices that may allow the camera's metal mountings to contact materials such as stainless steel. Such contact can result in galvanic corrosion and degrade the cosmetic appearance of the camera. These cosmetic damages caused by improper installation are not covered by warranty as they do not affect the functionality of the camera.

5.2 Mounting Options

See the figures that follow for illustrations of the correct and the incorrect mounting orientations of MIC cameras.

MIC cameras are designed to be mounted upright (straight up) or inverted (straight down).

See the figures below for illustrations of the correct and the incorrect mounting orientations of MIC cameras.

5.3 Mounting Bracket Options

Bosch sells a complete series of mounting brackets that support multiple mounting configurations.

Always use only Bosch-supplied mounts, which are designed for safe installation of your MIC camera.

Refer to the MIC Series Mounting Brackets Installation Guide for complete installation instructions.

Mounting hardware recommendations for MIC mounting accessories

Fasteners are not supplied with the MIC mounting accessories for attachment to the mounting surface. The type of fastener necessary is dependent on the mounting surface.

Fasteners can include wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, single expansion anchors, double expansion anchors, machine screws, or 'Thru-Bolting' with a nut.

Fasteners are to be of a structural grade (ISO Class 10.9, SAE Grade 8) and zinc plated for moderate corrosion resistance. When installed in marine or similarly corrosive environments, stainless hardware (A2-800, A4-800) is recommended.

Fasteners are to be a minimum diameter of 8 mm (0.3125 in.).

All bolts must extend through the mounting surface and be secured with a flat washer, lock washer, and nut. All studs must be anchored to concrete or welded to a steel backing plate. In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.

The hinged DCA is well-suited to installations on top of a pole.

11 Connection

11.1 About Camera Power and Control

The camera incorporates a network video server that encodes video images and PTZ control commands for transmission over a TCP/IP or UDP/IP network.

With its H.264 or H.265 encoding, it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. Use existing networks to achieve quick and easy integration with CCTV systems or local networks. Several receivers can receive video images simultaneously from a single camera.

11.2 Power Source Options

The camera can be powered by a network compliant to High Power-over-Ethernet using a Bosch model of High PoE Midspan (sold separately). With this configuration, only a single cable connection

(Cat5e/Cat6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)) is needed to view, to power, and to control the camera.

For maximum reliability, the camera can be connected simultaneously to a High PoE Midspan and a separate 24 VAC power source. If High PoE and 24 VAC are applied simultaneously, the camera usually selects the High PoE Midspan and will draw minimal power from the auxiliary input (24 VAC). If the High PoE Midspan power source fails, the camera switches power input seamlessly to 24 VAC. After the High PoE Midspan power source is restored, the camera switches power input again to the High PoE Midspan.

The power supply must be certified to UL/IEC 60950-1 2nd Edition, AM1+AM2 or UL/IEC 62368-1 2nd Ed, Output 24 VAC, LPS, +65 °C (+149 °F) min.

Bosch recommends only a midspan power source for models with an attached illuminator. The table below identifies the power devices that can be connected simultaneously to the camera.

If power is supplied from: Cameracan receive power simultaneously from:
95 W midspan (NPD-9501A) 24 VAC PSU: VG4-A-PSU1 or VG4-A-PSU2

BOSCH MIC IP FUSION 9000i - Power Source Options - 1

Notice!

Connect the 24 VAC connections from the MIC camera to the heater output of the power supply (VG4-A-PSU1 or VG4-A-PSU2).

BOSCH MIC IP FUSION 9000i - Notice! - 1

Caution!

Compliance with EN50130-4 Alarm Standard – CCTV for Security Applications To meet the requirements of the EN50130-4 Alarm Standard, an ancillary uninterruptable power (UPS) supply is necessary. The UPS must have a Transfer Time between 2–6 ms and a Backup Runtime of greater than 5 seconds for the power level as specified on the product datasheet.

For more information, refer to the installation manual Power Supply Units for AUTODOME 7000i, AUTODOME 7100i, and MIC cameras (shipped with VG4-A-PSU1 and VG4-A-PSU2). Note: If the MIC camera will be installed directly to a mounting surface, instead of onto a MIC DCA or a MIC wall mount bracket, Bosch recommends using the connector kit for your model of camera to protect the connections against moisture and dust particles. Each kit provides components for connecting as many as 5 MIC cameras. - MIC-9K-IP67-5PK (Connector kit for MIC IP fusion 9000i). Not using the IP67 Connector Kit will void the camera warranty. Note: The PoE connection is not intended to be connected to exposed (outside plant) networks. Seal the base of the camera against moisture ingress (standing water).

11.5 Connect the Camera to the Network

  1. Make the appropriate network connections depending on the power source of your IP network:

- If using a High PoE midspan power source:

a. Connect one end of a Cat5e/Cat6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector of the camera. b. Connect the other end of the cable to the DATA + POWER OUT port on the midspan.

Note: You must ground cable at both ends!

c. Connect a Cat5e/Cat6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable from the DATA port of the midspan device to the Local Area Network (LAN).

  • If not using High PoE: Connect a Cat5e/Cat6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable from the RJ45 connector of the camera to the Local Area Network (LAN).
  • If not using PoE and if connecting directly to a computer, DVR/NVR, or other related network device: Connect either a Cat5e/Cat6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable or a crossover Ethernet cable between the RJ45 connector of the camera and the network device. Note: You must ground cable at both ends!
  • If applicable, connect the 24 VAC wires to the power source.
  • If applicable, connect the RS-485 wires to the MIC-ALM-WAS-24 (optional).
  • Attach the ground wire from the camera to an earth-ground connection on the mounting surface using the supplied screw or a suitable user-supplied fastener.

Additional troubleshooting for MIC thermal imagers.

Problem Explanation Solution
A small square appears intermittently at the upper right of the video output.This symbol warns that flat-field correction (FFC) is about to begin.Do nothing; this is normal operation for the thermal camera.
The thermal image appears 'grainy'.This often occurs when the temperature of the camera fluctuates, such as after the camera is powered on, or when ambient temperature is changing.Wait for the camera to perform a flat-field correction (FFC).
The thermal image is of poor quality.Thermal image settings are not optimized for the type of scene being viewed.Adjust the thermal camera settings to optimize the quality of the image. Refer to section on Thermal Camera Settings in Operation Manual.
The picture shows images that aren’t present in the scene.Check to see if there the heat of objects are being reflected off a surface causing thermal reflections.

14 Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your MIC camera will preserve the MIC, especially the surface finish, for an extended period.

Cleaning – Remove power from the device before cleaning. Generally, using a dry cloth for cleaning is sufficient, but a moist, fluff-free cloth may also be used. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

In corrosive environments, you should clean the camera surface periodically with fresh water.

▶ Wash the camera thoroughly with fresh water: - Regularly (1-2 times per quarter, or more frequently if possible) - Immediately after an event such as a sea storm that could introduce a layer of salt on the camera's surface

Use a flow rate of 150-145 liter/minute. Hold the nozzle a minimum distance of 1 m from the camera.

In certain use cases, it might help to use a solution of hydrophobic liquid to prevent long-term buildup of salt layers on the camera's surface.

Note: Do not use water pressure greater than 96.5 kPa (14 psi) to wash the unit.
