2 AMS System overview
Access Management System is a powerful, pure access control system, which performs solo or
in concert with BVMS, the Bosch flagship video management system.
Its power stems from its unique balance of leading-edge and proven technologies:
– Designed for usability: practical user interface with drag-and-drop Map View, and
streamlined biometric enrollment dialogs.
– Designed for data security: supporting the latest standards (EU-GDPR 2018), operating
systems, databases and encrypted system interfaces.
– Designed for resilience: middle-layer main access controllers provide automatic failover
and replenishment of local access controllers in case of network failure.
– Designed for the future: regular updates and a pipeline full of innovative enhancements.
– Designed for scalability: offering low to high entry levels.
– Designed for interoperability: RESTful APIs, with interfaces to Bosch video management,
event handling and specialized partner solutions.
– Designed for investment-protection: allowing you to build on, but boost the efficiency of,
your installed access-control hardware.

3 Installation
Overall procedure
The installation of the system consists of two separate installers: the server and the client.
The overall order of installation is as follows:
1. Check the system requirements.
2. Before installing any client workstations:
– Install the software on the server and verify correct installation.
– On the server, create one or more workstation authorizations for the client workstations,
and adapt the firewall settings to allow client-server connections.
3. Install the HTTPS Certificate on each client machine.
4. Install the clients.
Notice!
Dedicated servers are recommended
To guarantee the highest levels of operability, availability and performance at all times, install
each server system (access management, video management, intrusion detection or third
party) on its own dedicated computer.
Refer to
– Importing the HTTPS certificate, page 10
– Checking if the system is installed, page 12
