– Bandwidth limit speed: Default is No (there is no bandwidth limit active)

The bandwidth limits the traffic from the DVR to each client where each connection
individually may not exceed the configured bandwidth. If bandwidth is set to a value, the
default bandwidth limit only applies to network connections outside the subnet of the
DVR (WAN). Bandwidth limit does NOT apply to network connection on the same subnet
as the DVR (LAN).
Note: IP addresses starting in the range of 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, and 172.16.0.0 to

172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 are always considered LAN
addresses.

The default settings can be overruled by using the <Add> button to add IP address ranges
in ‘Subnet never limited’ or in ‘Subnet always limited’ (it is not possible to enter the
same IP address in both fields). Select a checkbox in front of an IP address and press
<Delete> to remove an IP range from the list; use <Default> to return all default settings.
When ready, click <Save> to save settings and return to previous menu.
DVR will check automatically if a BVC or Web Client network connection request is sent
from a PC located in the field ‘Subnet never limited’ or in ‘Subnet always limited’.

This means that, when the bandwidth limitation is active, it will be limited to the selected
bandwidth setting. For example, if bandwidth limitation is set to 256 Kbps, then network
traffic to these limited IP connections will not exceed 256 Kbps.
When the bandwidth limit is set to a value, the encoding settings for the 2nd stream will
be optimized to stream live video for the selected bandwidth value – see below.

– Bandwidth limit clients: Default is 1.

Choose here the number of ‘bandwidth-limited’ clients (max. 4) that are allowed in the
bandwidth limit configuration. Every ‘bandwidth-limited’ connection used is maximized to
the configured maximum. For example if max bandwidth usage is set to 256Kbps and the
‘bandwidth-limited’ clients value is 4, then the total bandwidth consumption can be 1M.
A maximum 64 ‘remote’ client connections are possible, however more than 4 remote
clients can lead to performance limitations. If the maximum available bandwidth for
streaming is used (60Mbit/s) – users can still login, but will not receive a video stream
until bandwidth is available again

– Auto encode setting for 2nd stream

Press <Set> to enable automatic setting of the second stream based on the setting for
‘Bandwidth limit speed‘ (you will be asked to confirm the automatic selection). For
example, if ‘Bandwidth limit speed‘ is set to 256 Kbps then encoding settings for all
cameras will be set to 64 Kbps for the 2nd stream to optimize viewing of four cameras. For
512 Kbps this will be 128 Kbps for all cameras.
Note: the 2nd stream settings can always be manually changed.

SNMP

Figure 6.19: Network - SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides the basic network management frame
of the network management system, and can be used to retrieve basic system health
information. It can also be used to configure the system to send out traps for events such as
system reboot, video loss, hard disk errors, etc.
The SNMP files can be retrieved/received on devices using common tools such as MG-SOFT
MIB Browser. The Management Information Base (MIB) can be downloaded via the Web Client
in menu Setup > Network > SNMP; press the button <Download MIB>.

Use the following steps to configure SNMP:

1. Select the ‘SNMP enable’ box.

2. Use the defaults for ‘SNMP port’, ‘Read community’, ‘Write community’, or assign your
settings if required.

3. To set up traps, press <Add> and enter IP addresses and ports of the devices that should
receive the trap notification. Press <Delete> to delete a device from the list.

4. Use the defaults or assign settings for ‘Video loss’ events sent to the trap:
– Single mode (set a time limit for detecting a single video loss to generate the trap)

2015.10 | v2.3 | AM18-Q0669 Operations Manual Bosch Security Systems

Motion detect region setup

Figure 6.22: Motion detect region

See here that there are a collection of small rectangular zones on the screen (396 zones for
PAL; 330 zones for NTSC). The normal default when you open this screen for each camera
channel is that the complete screen is colored and ‘armed’ (activated for motion detection). A
black (or dark) area signals a disarmed zone.
To set up motion detect on this screen:

1. Left-click the mouse and drag it over a region where you want to disable (disarm) motion
detection. Notice that the selected zones become dark.

2. Release the mouse button when you have selected a complete area to be disabled for
motion detection.

3. Now repeat this action for other areas on the screen to be disabled. If you want to ‘rearm’
a disabled area again, or you make a mistake, simply select the region again with the left­mouse button (the region will be colored again). Another way to arm/disarm zones is to
use the Fn button on the front panel, or on the remote control, and select zones with the
direction buttons.

4. After setting all the motion detection zones for a channel, return to the ‘Detect’ screen by
right-clicking the mouse (or click the ‘Enter’ button). If you click the ESC button to exit
the region setup screen, the zone setup will not be saved.

Note: Always remember to click <Save> on the ‘Detect’ interface to save the current setup.
