Bosch WEATHER PROTECTOR FOR AUTODOME 7100I - PROTECTS AGAINST RAIN DIRT AND SUN - STY - NDA-7100-WP

Bosch NDA-7100-WP Weather Protector for AUTODOME 7100i

Overview

The Bosch NDA-7100-WP is a purpose-built weather protector designed exclusively for the AUTODOME 7100i PTZ camera. When you install a high-value dome outdoors — on a building facade, parking structure, or campus perimeter — this shroud provides a physical barrier against rain, blowing dirt, and direct sun exposure that would otherwise degrade image quality and accelerate weathering of the camera housing. It's a straightforward add-on, but skipping it on exposed installations is one of the more common mistakes in the field.

Key Features

• Rain and Dirt Deflection: The protector's overhanging shroud channels water away from the camera dome and blocks wind-driven debris — particularly relevant on installations where the camera faces prevailing weather or is mounted below a roofline without natural overhang.
• UV and Solar Load Reduction: Direct sun on a dark camera housing raises internal operating temperature. The NDA-7100-WP's white signal (RAL 9003) finish reflects solar radiation, reducing thermal stress on the AUTODOME 7100i's internals during summer peak hours.
• RAL 9003 Signal White Finish: The standard white color integrates cleanly on light-colored facades and soffits. If your installation is on a dark or colored surface, factor in the contrast — this model ships in a single color.
• IEC 60068-2-52 Salt Atmosphere Tested: Passing the salt fog standard means the plastic housing and finish resist corrosion in coastal or industrial environments where airborne chlorides accelerate surface degradation. Relevant for ports, waterfront facilities, and chemical processing sites.
• IEC 60068-2-6 Vibration Tested: The protector is validated to handle mechanical vibration per IEC standard — important on rooftop mounts near HVAC equipment or on structures with significant foot-traffic vibration.
• IEC 60068-2-27 Shock Tested: Mechanical shock certification means the housing won't crack or deform from the kind of handling impacts common during installation or from nearby construction activity post-install.
• Lightweight Construction at 320 g: At 320 grams, the NDA-7100-WP adds negligible load to the camera mount — no need to re-evaluate wall anchor or pendant arm ratings when adding this protector.

Integration and Compatibility

The NDA-7100-WP (often searched as NDA 7100 WP) is designed specifically for the AUTODOME 7100i camera family. It is not a universal fit — verify your camera model before ordering. If you are configuring a complete outdoor PTZ installation, pair this with the appropriate PTZ camera mounts and brackets rated for your mounting surface. For multi-camera outdoor deployments, review the PoE switch selection guide to ensure your infrastructure supports the power and data requirements of the AUTODOME 7100i. Additional security camera accessories including pendant adapters and wall mounts are available for the 7100i series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NDA-7100-WP compatible with AUTODOME cameras other than the 7100i?

A: The NDA-7100-WP is designed specifically for the AUTODOME 7100i. Compatibility with other AUTODOME generations is not confirmed by available evidence — verify fit against your specific camera model before ordering.

Q: What color does the NDA-7100-WP ship in?

A: It ships in RAL 9003 signal white. No other color variants are indicated in available evidence.

Q: How much does the NDA-7100-WP weigh?

A: The protector weighs 320 grams, adding negligible load to any standard AUTODOME 7100i mount.

Q: Is the NDA-7100-WP tested for salt atmosphere environments?

A: Yes. It is tested per IEC 60068-2-52 (salt atmosphere), making it appropriate for coastal or industrial environments with airborne chlorides.

Q: Does the NDA-7100-WP provide an IP rating for the camera?

A: The NDA-7100-WP is a mechanical weather protector — it does not itself carry an IP ingress rating in available evidence. The AUTODOME 7100i camera has its own IP rating independent of this accessory.

Marty Allison

The NDA-7100-WP gets overlooked on budget reviews, but it is doing real work on exposed outdoor AUTODOME 7100i installations. The IEC 60068-2-52 salt atmosphere rating is what I look at first — if the site is within a few miles of coastal water or has any industrial airborne particulate, a non-tested shroud will show surface degradation within 18 months. This one is tested to the standard.

Technical Highlights:

• IEC 60068-2-52 Salt Atmosphere: Validated resistance to chloride corrosion — the correct spec for coastal, port, and chemical-plant perimeter deployments where untested plastics pit and discolor quickly.
• RAL 9003 Signal White / 320 g: The white finish cuts solar heat load on the camera body; at 320 grams it adds nothing meaningful to pendant arm or wall-mount load calculations.
• IEC 60068-2-6 Vibration and IEC 60068-2-27 Shock: Both certifications matter on rooftop installs near mechanical equipment — the protector won't work loose or crack from continuous low-amplitude vibration or installation handling.

Deployment Considerations:

• The RAL 9003 white finish is the only available color — on dark or charcoal facades it will be visually prominent; factor that into aesthetic approval for the site.
• This protector is specific to the AUTODOME 7100i — do not assume fit on earlier or later AUTODOME generations without confirming against Bosch's current mounting accessory compatibility matrix.

Best fit: coastal perimeter and port-facility AUTODOME 7100i deployments where salt atmosphere and direct weather exposure are the dominant environmental factors — this is the accessory that keeps a premium PTZ investment performing over a multi-year service life in those conditions.
