1 Introduction
1.1 Establishing the connection
The unit must have a valid IP address to operate on your network and a compatible subnet
mask.
By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On plus Link-Local so a DHCP server assigns an
IP address or, if no DHCP server is available, a link-local address (auto-IP) is assigned within
the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
You can use IP Helper or Configuration Manager to find the IP address. Download the software
from http://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com.
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the unit as the URL.
3. During initial installation, confirm any security questions that appear.
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 BoschVideoClient or BVMS.
1.2 Configuration with Project Assistant app
You can also use the Project Assistant app to complete the initial configuration of the camera.
In order to use this device with the Project Assistant app by Bosch, you must download the
app from the Bosch Download Store, from Google Play, or from the Apple Store.
You can access the app in several ways:
– Scan the QR code from the QIG.
– From www.boschsecurity.com, select Support > Apps and Tools > Online Apps - Video >
Bosch Project Assistant app. Select the appropriate operating system, and then click the
appropriate button to download and install the app.
– From Google Play Store (play.google.com), search for Bosch Project Assistant. Select the
app from the list. Click the Install button.
– From Apple Store (itunes.apple.com), search for Bosch Project Assistant. Select the app
from the list. Click the appropriate button to download and install the app.
1.3 Password protection in camera
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.
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.

4 General
4.1 Identification
Device name
Enter a unique, unambiguous name for the device (for example, the installation location of the
device). This name should be easy to identify in a list of devices in your system. The device
name is used for the remote identification of a unit, such as in the event of an alarm.
Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not
supported by the system's internal management.
Device ID
Enter a unique identifier for the device. This ID is additional identification for the device.
Video name
Enter a name for the video (for example, HDR ON).
Host name
Enter a host name.
Initiator extension
Add text to an initiator name to make identification easier in large iSCSI systems. This text is
added to the initiator name, separated from it by a full stop. (You can see the initiator name in
the System Overview page.)
4.2 User Management
The section Allowed authentication modes provides information about the authentication
modes set in the camera. A checkmark appears in the checkbox to the left of the mode if the
mode is set. If the mode is not set, the phrase, “No certificate installed” appears to the right
of the mode name.
Password
This field indicates if a password is set for the camera.
Certificate
A check mark in this check box indicates that at least one certificate is loaded onto the
camera. If no certificates are loaded, then “No certificate installed” appears to the right of the
text.
The Escrypt certificate is a root certificate for Bosch Security Systems that proves that the
device meets the following criteria:
– It originates from a Bosch factory that is a secure environment.
– It has not been tampered with.
Escrypt is a Bosch company and Certificate Authority (CA).
Active directory server (ADFS)
A check mark in this check box indicates that the camera uses an active directory server. If the
camera does not use ADFS, then “No certificate installed” appears to the right of the text.
Password management
A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. You can use different authorization
levels to limit access.
Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also
protected with a password. Therefore, you must always start from the highest authorization
level when assigning passwords.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged into the
“service” user account.

The device has three authorization levels: service, user, and live.
– service is the highest authorization level. Entering the correct password gives access to
all the functions and allows all configuration settings to be changed.
– user is the middle authorization level. At this level you can operate the device, play back
recordings, and also control camera, for example, but you cannot change the
configuration.
– live is the lowest authorization level. At this level you can only view the live video image
and switch between the different live image displays.
A fourth user group, VCA configuration, has the privilege to configure VCA only.
Note: Configuration and use of this user group is available only in Configuration Manager (7.20
or later).
To edit a password
To edit a password, click the pencil icon to the right of the column Type for the appropriate
User name.
To create a new user
To create a new user, click Add.
In the box User, fill in the fields. For Group, select the appropriate authorization level. For
Type, select either Password (for a new password) or Certificate (for a certificate that the
new user is authorized to use).
Note: Use a maximum of 19 characters. Do no use special characters.
Confirm password
In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.
Notice!
A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the
Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.
4.3 Date/Time
Date format
Select the required date format from the dropdown menu.
Device date/Device time
Notice!
Make sure that recording is stopped before synching to the PC.
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 current time or click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system
time to the camera.
Note: It is important that the date/time is correct for recording. An incorrect date/time setting
could prevent correct recording.

Daylight saving time
The internal clock can switch automatically between normal and daylight saving time (DST).
The unit already contains the data for DST switch-overs for many years in advance. If the date,
time and zone have been set up correctly, a DST table is automatically created.
If you decide to create alternative daylight saving time dates by editing the table, note that
values occur in linked pairs (DST start and end dates).
First, check the time zone setting. If it is not correct, select the appropriate time zone and
click Set.
1. Click Details to edit the DST table.
2. Select the region or the city which is closest to the system's location from the list box
below the table.
3. Click Generate to fill the table with the preset values from the unit.
4. Click one of the entries in the table to make changes. The entry is highlighted.
5. Click Delete to remove the entry from the table.
6. Choose other values from the list boxes under the table, to change the selected entry.
Changes are immediate.
7. If there are empty lines at the bottom of the table, for example after deletions, add new
data by marking the row and selecting values from the list boxes.
8. When finished, click OK to save and activate the table.
Time server address
The camera can receive the time signal from time server using various time server protocols,
and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every
minute.
Enter the IP address of a time server here.
You can choose to have the DHCP server give a time server date by selecting the Overwrite by
DHCP option.
Time server type
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server.
– Select Time protocol if the server uses the protocol RFC868.
– The SNTP protocol supports a high level of accuracy and is required for special
applications and subsequent function extensions.
– Select TLS protocol if the server uses the RFC 5246 protocol.
– Select Off to disable the time server.
Click Set to apply the changes.

Show VCA metadata
When video content analysis (VCA) is activated, additional information is displayed in the live
video stream. With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion
is recorded are marked with yellow rectangles.
Using EssentialVideoAnalytics or IntelligentVideoAnalytics, the outlines of detected objects
are displayed in following colors:
– Red: Objects that generate an alarm event under the current settings appear on the
camera image inside a red outline.
– Orange: An object that has triggered one alarm event but does not generate another
appears inside an orange outline (example: object has crossed a line). During forensic
search, an object that triggers an alarm event has an orange outline from the beginning.
– Yellow: Objects that are detected as moving but do not generate an alarm event under
the current settings appear inside a yellow outline.
Show VCA trajectories
The trajectories (motion lines of objects) from the video content analysis are displayed in the
live video image if a corresponding analysis type is activated. The trajectory is shown as a
green line following the object base point.
