2.4 Disclaimer
BVMS is not designed, intended, or authorized for use in any type of system or application in which the failure of the Software could lead to a risk to health and safety. The user is responsible to verify that the Software and its specified functionalities are suitable for the intended application, in particular with respect to accuracy, safety and security.
2.5 Versions
The table below lists the firmware versions which are used in the BVMS system test. When available, the version contains a clickable download link.
Device Compatibility
Up until some years ago, new released cameras, encoders, domes and decoders that were introduced into market after a BVMS release could not be connected to an existing BVMS version because these cameras where not known to the BVMS. In the BVMS 4.5.1, a new concept was introduced. This concept treats Bosch video encoders and decoders as generic devices, and automatically recognizes specific device functionality (for example the number of streams, relays and inputs). Based on this information the, at that time, unknown device is added to the system and can be used by the operator. This document, which can be found in the Bosch Building Technologies community, provides a detailed description of this functionality: BVMS – Device compatibility.

MS SQL Server 2019, used as a standard version for BVMS 11.0 or higher, is not supported anymore on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit). Therefore, in case of an upgrade scenario, MS SQL Server will remain on version 2017 and such combination is still supported with BVMS 11.0 or higher. However, for this reason it is not possible to deploy new BVMS 11.0 or higher installation on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2, as MS SQL 2019 installation will fail. Audit Trail feature is not supported for Windows (Storage) Server 2012 operating system.

Hardware requirements
The Video Recording Manager has an application specific fail-over mechanism that should be used. Virtualization-based fail-over mechanisms are not supported for the Video Recording Manager. The release notes of the Video Recording Manager provide information on the specific virtualization platforms that are supported considering this limitation.

Video Streaming Gateway
If the VSG runs on a Hyper-V fail-over cluster, and the hardware fails, recording is stopped for ~30 seconds. Live streaming via the VSG might cause a small interruption.

4.3 Installation Notes
For system design specifications the BVMS architects and engineering specifications, system design guide and quick installation guide should be used. The BVMS upgrade guide helps you to upgrade an existing installation, and the BVMS security guide helps you to increase the security of your installation. The datasheet is subject to change. Translated versions are not published instantly; the English version is always up-to-date.
4.4 Versions
The table below lists the firmware versions which are used in the BVMS system test. When available, the version contains a clickable download link.
Device Compatibility
Up until some years ago, new released cameras, encoders, domes and decoders that were introduced into market after a BVMS release could not be connected to an existing BVMS version because these cameras where not known to the BVMS. In the BVMS 4.5.1, a new concept was introduced. This concept treats Bosch video encoders and decoders as generic devices, and automatically recognizes specific device functionality (for example the number of streams, relays and inputs). Based on this information the, at that time, unknown device is added to the system and can be used by the operator. This document, which can be found in the Bosch Building Technologies community, provides a detailed description of this functionality: BVMS – Device compatibility.

*Supported as legacy devices – since those devices reached End of Service phase, full functionality cannot be guaranteed. **Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit) is only supported when updating your BVMS from version 10.1 or lower. MS SQL Server 2019, used as a standard version for BVMS 11.0 or higher, is not supported anymore on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit). Therefore, in case of an upgrade scenario, MS SQL Server will remain on version 2017 and such combination is still supported with BVMS 11.0or higher. However, for this reason it is not possible to deploy new BVMS 11.0 or higher installation on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2, as MS SQL 2019 installation will fail.

4.5 BVMS Setup types and applicability
With BVMS 12.0 and Privacy overlay feature, two different types of setup are introduced:
· BVMS Setup (standard) – not containing AI packages for Privacy overlay feature · BVMS Setup with AI – including AI packages for Privacy overlay feature Please refer to the table below for applicability of setup packages.

Component

BVMS Setup (standard)

BVMS Setup with Comments AI

BVMS server (standalone) yes

yes

BVMS Setup with AI can be used to

allow No-Touch Deployment of AI

packages for connected clients,

while standard setup is generally

sufficient for the server.

DIVAR IP

yes

no

BVMS Setup with AI is not

supported on DIVAR IP. Privacy

overlay feature can only be used on

workstations connected to DIVAR IP.

BVMS Operator Client with no Privacy overlay

yes

BVMS Setup with AI is required for

all the workstations, where Privacy

overlay feature will be used.

BVMS Operator Client

yes

without Privacy overlay

yes

BVMS Setup with AI can also be used

if Privacy overlay is not in use, while

standard setup would be sufficient.

BVMS setup compatibility
BVMS setup versions with and without AI packages are fully compatible with each other. For example, in case of:
· BVMS Setup (standard) installed on DIVAR IP acting as a server · BVMS Setup with AI installed on workstation, connecting to this DIVAR IP BVMS running on this workstation will be fully functional, including Privacy overlay feature that can be used on the client.

*Supported as legacy devices – since those devices reached End of Service phase, full functionality cannot be guaranteed. **Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit) is only supported when updating your BVMS from version 10.1 or lower. MS SQL Server 2019, used as a standard version for BVMS 11.0 and 11.1, is not supported anymore on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit). Therefore, in case of an upgrade scenario, MS SQL Server will remain on version 2017 and such combination is still supported with BVMS 11.0 and 11.1. However, for this reason it is not possible to deploy new BVMS 11.0 or 11.1 installation on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2, as MS SQL 2019 installation will fail.

Colored timeline: Depending on the timeline scale and number of events, loading of colored markings for events might take some time.

Camera

If using Bosch CPP13 or CPP14 based cameras, multicast stream is selfconfigured by the camera, even if not configured in the camera menu before. It might result in network issues if network infrastructure is not prepared for multicast. This issue is visible for fw 8.45.0017 or lower (CPP13), 8.30.0082 or lower (CPP14.1), 8.50.0138 or lower (CPP14.2). It is planned to be fixed with the next firmware release for respective platforms. As a mitigation, if network infrastructure is not prepared for multicast, it is strongly advised to switch to TCP streaming in the BVMS Operator Client or in the BVMS Configuration Client (as a workstation setting).

Configuration Performing factory default (“Restore settings”) for CPP13 cameras might

Client

result in BVMS Configuration Client crash.

Operator Client

Colored timeline: When importing block export video recordings, colored markings might exceed actual available recordings range.

For system design specifications the BVMS architects and engineering specifications, system design guide and quick installation guide should be used. The BVMS upgrade guide helps you to upgrade an existing installation, and the BVMS security guide helps you to increase the security of your installation. The datasheet is subject to change. Translated versions are not published instantly; the English version is always up-to-date.
6.4 Versions
The table below lists the firmware versions which are used in the BVMS system test. When available, the version contains a clickable download link.
Device Compatibility
Up until some years ago, new released cameras, encoders, domes and decoders that were introduced into market after a BVMS release could not be connected to an existing BVMS version because these cameras where not known to the BVMS. In the BVMS 4.5.1, a new concept was introduced. This concept treats Bosch video encoders and decoders as generic devices, and automatically recognizes specific device functionality (for example the number of streams, relays and inputs). Based on this information the, at that time, unknown device is added to the system and can be used by the operator. This document, which can be found in the Bosch Building Technologies community, provides a detailed description of this functionality: BVMS – Device compatibility.

Device Compatibility
Up until some years ago, new released cameras, encoders, domes and decoders that were introduced into market after a BVMS release could not be connected to an existing BVMS version because these cameras where not known to the BVMS. In the BVMS 4.5.1, a new concept was introduced. This concept treats Bosch video encoders and decoders as generic devices, and automatically recognizes specific device functionality (for example the number of streams, relays and inputs). Based on this information the, at that time, unknown device is added to the system and can be used by the operator. This document, which can be found in the Bosch Building Technologies community, provides a detailed description of this functionality: BVMS – Device compatibility.

Description

Windows

Windows 10 build 1607 causes, in some situations, an issue that results in missing visual elements in the Operator Client. Please upgrade your Windows version.

Transcoding

In some scenarios the Operator Client might crash when using a combination of custom display scaling (for example, 129%) and looking at transcoded video.

SDK

CameraManager.StartAlarmRecording parameters “protect”, “alarmId” and

“metadata” do not work.

Alarm

BVMS Enterprise alarms are always presented as multi-rows alarms in the

management operator client.

Configuration Client

Configuration Client IP grayed out after BVMS is de-installed and BVMS Viewer is installed. Work-around: clear the registry entries in ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

Configuration “Import configuration from VRM” does not import the name of the added

Client

iSCSI devices. Work-around: manually configure the iSCSI name.

Cameras

Encrypted multicast is not working for Inteox (CPP13) cameras. We are planning to fix this with camera FW version 7.80.

Person

There is no indication if the BVMS Configuration Client fails to add an edge

Identification TRS to the configuration.

Help

In rare situations the BVMS Operator Client might crash while browsing the

build-in help sections.

Security

After changing the password on a Tattile camera, and BVMS generates an authentication failure, BVMS still receives LPR detection events from the camera. Work-around: remove the BVMS Management Server as event receiver from the camera configuration.

Security

SSH connectivity does not work for users with an empty password. We don’t recommend using accounts that have an empty password.

Person Identification

When the central server starts up the first connection to a TRS causes a disconnect error. This error produces per default a disconnect alarm for the TRS visible within the OpClient alarm list. After 5 sec the central server reconnects to the TRS. This time the connection is successful.

Person

There is no overview which shows the cameras that are assigned to a specific

Identification (core/edge) TRS.

Person Identification

Empty (grey) pictures are shown when the TRS is unavailable while new persons are added using the manage persons dialogue. There is no indication the TRS is unavailable. Workaround: re-open the dialogue.

Description

Configuration Config Wizard crashes when pasting password of encoder. Wizard

Export

Space check of DVD happens after export to temp folder.

Resilience

A fail-over VRM might take up to 30 seconds to build-up the timeline, even when the recorded video is already visible in the image pane.

ANR

It is not possible to associate the recordings of a replaced ANR camera with a

new ANR camera.

Security

Encrypted video that is exported using the VRM eXport Wizard cannot be replayed and results in a black image pane.

Security

Direct iSCSI playback is not working over SSH. The system will automatically fall-back to VRM playback.

Security

LDAP does not work with SSH when the password contains an umlaut.

Security

Connecting via SSH to an unmanaged site using LDAP authentication to the site is not working.

Person

The order of the logical tree in the Person Identification configuration differs

Identification from the order of the logical tree configuration.

11.2 Installation Notes
For system design specifications the BVMS architects and engineering specifications, system design guide and quick installation guide should be used. The BVMS upgrade guide helps you to upgrade an existing installation, and the BVMS security guide helps you to increase the security of your installation. The datasheet is subject to change. Translated versions are not published instantly; the English version is always up-to-date.
11.3 Versions
The table below lists the firmware versions which are used in the BVMS system test. When available, the version contains a clickable download link.
Device Compatibility
Up until some years ago, new released cameras, encoders, domes and decoders that were introduced into market after a BVMS release could not be connected to an existing BVMS version because these cameras where not known to the BVMS. In the BVMS 4.5.1, a new concept was introduced. This concept treats Bosch video encoders and decoders as generic devices, and automatically recognizes specific device functionality (for example the number of streams, relays and inputs). Based on this information the, at that time, unknown device is added to the system and can be used by the operator. This document, which can be found in the Bosch Building Technologies community, provides a detailed description of this functionality: BVMS – Device compatibility.

Multicast issue with camera firmware 7.60.0118
Issue 257256 prevents camera firmware to work in a multicast environment. This issue can be observed when you combine BVMS 10.0.1 and earlier BVMS versions with firmware 7.60.x. Firmware 7.61.0023 solves this issue.

Hardware requirements
The Video Recording Manager has an application specific fail-over mechanism (Failover VRM). Virtualizing the VRM is supported. Using virtualization fail- over mechanisms is not supported. When VRM virtualization and fail-over is required, we recommend running the Master VRM and Failover VRM in separate virtual machines and disable virtualization fail-over mechanisms for these virtual machines.

Description

FIXED: When the BVMS SDK or OPC server is used for controlling Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras, the zoom speed may differ between cameras.
FIXED: The operator client suffers from a small memory leak when opening 25 monitor group controls simultaneously.
FIXED: When adding a new decoder to BVMS, the “secure connection” is not enabled by default. Cameras are added by default with the “secure connection” enabled, which causes issues displaying cameras on decoders. Workaround: deselect “secure connection” for the cameras which need to be displayed on decoders or select the “secure connection” for the decoder.
FIXED: The loadbalancing parameters for the DIVAR IP AiO 7000 are incorrect. Workaround: correct the values manually: 256 iSCSI sessions and 550Mbit/s.
FIXED: Some dialogues are malformed when display scaling is used in Windows.
FIXED: After de-activating the “Set time automatically” flag in the Windows (10) time settings, the BVMS time synchronization mechanism stops working and the time within the system (including the connected cameras) might start drifting. BVMS generates a system warning if the time synchronization mechanism stops working.
FIXED: Compound events should not be nested: cyclic references to compound events could prevent the management server from processing other events.
FIXED: BVMS is able to lock-out an account after a configurable amount of failed password entries. This functionality is not enabled by default for the default “Admin” account. For security reasons Bosch strongly recommends enabling this option for the user-group “Admin Group”, changing the name of the “Admin” user-account, and adding a second user-account to the user-group “Admin Group”. This minimizes the chance that the system administrator is fully locked-out of the system.
FIXED: All LUNs that are scanned on an iSCSI target are added to the configuration.
FIXED: Executing a BVMS Client script, located in the logical tree of a sub- system, from an Enterprise Operator Client is not working.
FIXED: VSG 7.0.2 cannot use large LUNs.
FIXED: If the Operator Client crashes the system will automatically create a dump file. During the dump file creation process no progress is shown to the user, which might take several minutes. We have fixed this bug by showing a dialogue that indicates the progress of the dump file creation process.
FIXED: Automatic distribution of LUNs on multi-port iSCSI (eSeries) does not work correctly when a basic configuration is performed.Please remove the iSCSI device and add it again to your system. Then the LUNs are evenly distributed.

Description
FIXED: When Operator Client and Management Server are installed on one single system the BIS communication might not work properly. Workaround: ensure that, on the Management Server, the “IsServerMode” setting in the C: ProgramDataBoschVMSAppDataBosch.Vms.BISProxy.settings.cxml is set to 1.
