2.3
Browser connection
A computer with a web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla
Firefox) is used to receive live images, control the unit, and replay stored
sequences. The unit is configured over the network using the browser.
System requirements
Our recommendations are: Computer with Dual core HyperThreading processor or
better Graphic card with performance that matches or is better than the
resolution of the
camera Windows 10 or later Network access Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge,
or Mozilla Firefox
– or Application software, for example, Video Security Client, Bosch Video
Client or BVMS. Note: To see live images in your browser it might be necessary
to download and install the MPEGActiveX from the Bosch download store.
Establishing the connection
The unit must have a valid IP address and a compatible subnet mask to operate
on your network. By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On and so your
DHCP server assigns an IP address. With no DHCP server the default address is
automatically assigned via linklocal address. The Project Assistant app or
Configuration Manager can be used to find the IP address. Download the
software from
https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com:
- Start the web browser. 2. Enter the IP address of the device as the URL. 3.
During the initial installation, confirm any security questions that show. If
a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication),
you must configure the device before the device can communicate with the
network. To configure the device, connect it directly to a computer using a
network cable and then set the service-level password.
Note: If you cannot connect, the unit may have reached its maximum number of connections. Depending on the device and network configuration, each unit can have up to 50 web browser connections, or up to 100 connections via Bosch Video Client or BVMS.
Password protection in camera
The device is password-protected. The first time that any user accesses the device, the device will prompt the user to set a password at the service level. The camera requires a strong password. Follow the prompts in the dialog box, which specifies what is required. The system measures the strength of the password that you enter. Make sure the password obeys these conditions: 8 to 19 characters in length Upper and lower case letters Minimum of 1 digit

Minimum of 1 special character These special characters are not allowed:
‘@’, ‘&’, ‘<‘, ‘>’, ‘:’, ‘+’
When you use Configuration Manager to access your device for the first time,
you must set the initial password of the device in Configuration Manager. The
Users section (General > Unit Access > Users) displays the message, “Before
you can use this device you have to secure it with an initial password.” Note:
After you set the initial password, a “lock” icon appears next to the device
name in the Devices list in Configuration Manager. You can also launch the
device webpage directly. In the device webpage, an initial password page
appears, displaying input fields and a password strength gauge. Enter the user
name (“service”) and a password in the appropriate fields. Refer to the
section User Management for more information. After a service-level password
is set for the device, the device displays a dialog box that prompts users to
enter the user name (“service”) and the service-level password every time that
they access the device. 1. Fill in the fields User name and Password. 2. Click
OK. If the password is correct, the desired page appears. Note: New releases
of software may require you to set a new and stronger password.

If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is
important to synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only
possible to identify and correctly evaluate simultaneous recordings when all
units are operating on the same time. 1. Enter the current date. Since the
unit time is controlled by the internal clock, there is
no need to enter the day of the week – it is added automatically. 2. Enter the

Positioning
The Positioning feature describes the location of the camera and the
perspective in the camera’s field of view. Perspective information is
essential to Video Analytics, as it enables the system to compensate for the
illusory smallness of distant objects. Only through use of perspective
information is it possible to distinguish objects such as persons and cars,
and accurately compute their real size as they move through 3D space. However,
to calculate perspective information accurately, the camera must be directed
at a single, flat horizontal plane. Multiple and inclined planes, hills,
stairs can falsify perspective information and produce incorrect object
information such as size and speed.
Mounting position The mounting position describes the perspective information that is also often called calibration. In general, the mounting position is determined by the parameters of the camera such as height, roll angle, tilt angle, and focal length. The height of the camera must always be entered manually. Whenever possible, roll angle and tilt angle are provided by the camera itself. The focal length is provided, if the camera has a built-in lens.
Tilt angle [°] Enter the tilt angle if the value is not determined by the camera. The tilt angle describes the angle between the horizontal and the camera. A tilt angle of 0° means that the camera is mounted parallel to the ground. A tilt angle of 90° means that the camera is mounted vertically in bird’s eye view perspective. The flatter the tilt angle is set, the less accurate the estimate of object sizes and speeds will be. The settings must be between 0° and 90°. Estimates are no longer possible when you have reached 0°.
Roll angle [°] Enter the roll angle if the value is not determined by the camera. The roll angle describes the angle between the roll axis and the horizontal plane. The angle can deviate from the horizontal by up to 45°.
Height [m] Enter the height in meters of the position of the camera. The height describes the vertical distance from the camera to the ground plane of the captured image. Typically the elevation of the mounted camera above the ground.

Focal length [mm] Enter the focal length in millimeters of the position of the camera if the value is not determined by the camera. The focal length is determined by the lens. The shorter the focal length, the wider the field of view. The longer the focal length, the narrower the field of view and the higher the magnification.
Sketch Click to improve the automatic calibration. The Sketch-based calibration window is displayed. The Sketch functionality offers an additional, half-automatic calibration method. This calibration method allows you to describe the perspective in the camera’s field of view by drawing vertical lines, ground lines, and ground angles in the camera image and entering the correct size and angle. Use the Sketch functionality if the result of the automatic calibration is not sufficient. You can also combine this manual calibration with the values for roll angle, tilt angle, height and focal length calculated by the camera or entered manually. Select the Calculate check box to obtain the roll angle, tilt angle, height and focal length from the sketched calibration elements – vertical lines, ground lines and angles – you have placed in the device. Clear the Calculate check box to enter a value manually or to refresh to the values provided by the device itself.
Assisted calibration with Configuration Manager Calibration leverages data from the device’s internal sensors and/or direct user input. With Configuration Manager the device can be calibrated using the map-based calibration feature, which allows fast and easy calibration by marking ground points on the map and image. Alternatively, the user can still resort to the Sketch-based calibration to manually input the calibration values. Refer to the Configuration Manager Online help content to learn more about assisted calibration methods.
Calibrating cameras using the Sketch-based calibration window To determine
non-automatically set values: 1. Enter the value for tilt angle, roll angle,
height and focal length if the value is known,
for example, by measuring the height of the camera above the ground, or
reading the focal length from the lens. 2. For each value that is still
unknown, select the Calculate check box, then place a calibration element on
the camera image. Use these calibration elements to trace individual outlines
of the displayed environment in the camera image and define the position and
size of these lines and angles.
Click

Click
to place an angle on the ground in the image.
The angle on ground represents an angle lying on the horizontal ground plane,
such as the corner of a carpet or parking bay markings.
3. Adjust the calibration elements to the situation:
Enter the real size of a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then enter
the size in the corresponding box.
Example: You have placed a line on ground across the lower side of an automobile.
You know that the automobile is 4 m long. Enter 4 m as the length of the line.
Adjust the position or length of a line or angle. To do this, drag the line or angle or
move the end points to the desired position in the camera image.
Remove a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then click the trash can
icon.
Note:
Blue lines indicate calibration elements added by you.
White lines represent the element as it should be positioned on the camera image
based on the current calibration results or the determined calibration data.
Notice!
If the distance to the camera (geolocation) is not relevant, it is enough to determine height
i
and focal length in relation to each other. This allows a simple calibration by marking 2-3 persons each with a vertical line and setting their size. 1,80 m (71 in.) for all is sufficient.
Use at least one person in the front and one person in the background of the image for best
results.
Coordinate system Select the coordinate system and enter the appropriate
values in the additional input fields that appear depending on the coordinate
system selected. The Coordinate system feature describes the position of the
camera in a local Cartesian or the global WGS 84 coordinate system. The camera
and the objects tracked by the video analytics are displayed on a map.
Cartesian The Cartesian coordinate system describes each point in the space by
a combination of the position on three orthogonal axes X, Y and Z. A right-
handed coordinate system is used, where X and Y span the ground plane and Z
describes the elevation of the ground plane.
X [m] The location of the camera on the ground on the X-axis.
Y [m] The location of the camera on the ground on the Y-axis.
Z [m] The elevation of the ground plane. To determine the elevation of the

Notice! The device has a mechanism to prevent oscillation between switching
from day to night and night to day continuously when the device is in Auto. In
case of frequent oscillations, the device will stay progressively longer in
night mode. At a certain point, the device will stop oscillating and enter
permanent night mode. Resetting this behavior ensures a shorter night mode.
This can be useful, for example, to account for changing conditions or for

Recording
Images can be recorded to an appropriately configured iSCSI system or, for
devices with a micro SD slot, locally to a micro SD card.
SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times and temporary recordings. They can be used for local alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording. For long-term authoritative images use an appropriately sized iSCSI system.
Two recording tracks are available (Recording 1 and Recording 2). The encoder streams and profiles can be selected for each of these tracks for both standard and alarm recordings. Ten recording profiles are available where these recording tracks can be defined differently. These profiles are then used for building schedules.
A Video Recording Manager (VRM) can control all recording when accessing an iSCSI system. The VRM is an external program for configuring recording tasks for video servers.

Network Management
SNMP The camera supports two versions of Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) for managing and monitoring network components, and can send SNMP
messages (traps) to IP addresses. The unit supports SNMP MIB II in the unified
code. Select either of the options that follow for the SNMP parameter: SNMP
v1 legacy SNMP v3 If you select either of the SNMP version, but do not enter
an SNMP host address, the camera does not send messages (traps) automatically,
but only replies to SNMP requests. Select Off to deactivate the SNMP function.
1. SNMP host address / 2. SNMP host address If you wish to send SNMP traps automatically, enter the IP addresses of one or two required target units here.
SNMP v1 legacy When you select SNMP v1 legacy in the field SNMP, the fields Write community and SNMP traps appear.
Write community Type the password for Write community to allow the exchange of data between connected devices.
SNMP traps You can select which traps are to be sent. 1. Click Select. A list is opened. 2. Click the checkboxes to select the required traps. All the checked traps will be sent. 3. Click Set to accept the selection.
SNMP v3 When you select SNMP v3 in the field SNMP, the tabs User and Trap user show. The same fields show in both tabs. The SNMP engine ID field also appears, indicating the unique identifier of the SNMP entity. User name Enter the appropriate user name. Authentication protocol Select the appropriate authentication protocol: None, MD5, or SHA1. Authentication password Enter the appropriate password for authentication. Privacy protocol Select the appropriate privacy protocol: None, DES, or AES. Privacy password Enter the appropriate password. Read-only To make this information read-only, select this check box.
Quality of service The camera offers Quality of Service (QoS) configuration options to ensure fast network response to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is the set of techniques to manage network resources. QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters to guarantee the ability of a network to deliver predictable results. QoS identifies the type of data in a data packet and divides the packets into traffic classes that can be prioritized for forwarding.

Consult with your network administrator for assistance configuring the Video,
Control, and the Alarm video settings, and to select the appropriate Post-
alarm time. Post-alarm time has a time period from 0 s [seconds] to 3 h
[hours]; 15 s [seconds] is the default option. Click Set to apply the changes.
Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the
Set button changes to Set and Reboot.
Multicast
The device can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal
simultaneously. The stream is either duplicated and then distributed to
multiple receivers (Multi-unicast), or it is sent as a single stream to the
network, where it is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a
defined group (Multicast).
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses UDP and the
Internet Group Management protocol (IGMP V2). The network must support group
IP addresses. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP
protocol does not support multicast connections.
A special IP address from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (class D address) must
be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The
multicast address can be the same for multiple streams, however, it is
necessary to use a different port in each case.
The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enter a dedicated
multicast address and port for each stream. The video channels can be
individually selected for each stream. Enable Enable simultaneous data
reception on receivers that need to activate the multicast function. To do
this, check the box and enter the multicast address. Multicast Address Enter a
valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the
data stream in the network).
With a 0.0.0.0 setting, the encoder for the stream operates in multi-unicast
mode (copying of data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast
connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to
impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances. Port Enter the
port address for the stream here. Streaming Click the checkbox to activate
multicast streaming mode. An activated stream is marked with a check.
(Streaming is typically not required for standard multicast operation.)
