1 Browser connection

A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer is used to receive live images from the camera, control the camera, and replay stored sequences. The camera is configured over the network using the browser.

1.1 System requirements

Network access (Intranet or Internet) – Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0 or higher – Screen resolution at least 1024 × 768 pixels – 16- or 32-bit color depth – Sun JVM installed The Web browser must be configured to enable Cookies from the IP address of the unit. In Windows Vista, deactivate protected mode on the Security tab under Internet Options.
To play back live video images, an appropriate ActiveX must be installed on the computer. If necessary, install the Bosch Video Client.
AM18-Q0611 | v5.50 | 2012.03 Software manual Bosch Security Systems
Camera Browser Interface Browser connection | en 11

1.2 Establishing the connection

The camera 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 and so your DHCP server assigns an IP address. With no DHCP server the default address is
192.168.0.1
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the camera as the URL.
3. During initial installation, confirm any security questions that appear.

Note:

If you do not connect, the camera may have reached its maximum number of connections. Depending on the device and network configuration, each camera can have up to 25 web browser connections, or up to 50 connections via Bosch Video Client or Bosch Video Management System.

1.2.1 Password protection in camera

A camera offers the option of limiting access across various authorization levels. If the camera is password-protected, a message to enter the password appears.
1. Enter the user name and the associated password in the appropriate fields.
2. Click OK. If the password is correct, the desired page is displayed.

1.3 Protected network

If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication), the camera must be configured first. To configure the camera, connect it directly to a computer using a network cable and configure the two parameters, Identity and Password. Only after these have been configured can communication with the camera via the network occur.

4.1 Configuration Menu

The settings page provides access to the configuration menu which contains all the unit's parameters arranged in groups.
There are two options for configuring the unit or checking the current settings: – Basic Mode Advanced Mode
In Basic Mode the most important parameters are arranged in several menu groups. This allows you to change the basic settings with just a few entries and then put the device into operation.
Advanced Mode is recommended only for expert users or system support personnel. You can access all device parameters in this mode. Settings that affect the fundamental functionality of the device (such as firmware updates) can only be changed in this mode.

5Basic Mode

5.1 Device Access

5.1.1 Naming

Enter a unique name to assist in identification. This name simplifies the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems. The name is used for remote identification, for example, in the event of an alarm. Choose a name that makes it as easy as possible to identify the location unambiguously.

5.1.2 Password

A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. 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 of the camera and allows all configuration settings to be changed.
user is the middle authorization level. This user can
operate the device, play back recordings, and also control a camera but cannot change the configuration.
live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to
view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as service or if the camera is not password protected.
Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed if all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. For example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user password should also be set. When assigning passwords, always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.
AM18-Q0611 | v5.50 | 2012.03 Software manual Bosch Security Systems
Camera Browser Interface Basic Mode | en 25
Password
Define or change a separate password for each level. Enter the password (19 characters maximum) for the selected level.
Confirm password
Re-enter the new password to ensure that there are no typing mistakes. The new password is only saved after clicking Set. Therefore, click Set immediately after entering and confirming the password, even if assigning a password at another level.

5.2 Date/Time

Device date, time and zone

If there are multiple devices operating in the 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 devices are operating on the same time. Device time, date and time zone are shown. Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your
computer to the device.

Note:

It is important that the date/time is correct for recording. An incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct recording.

5.3 Network

Use the settings on this page to integrate the device into a network. Some changes only take effect after a reboot. In this case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.
1. Make the desired changes.
2. Click Set and Reboot. – The device is rebooted and the changed settings are
activated. If the IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address is changed, then the device is only accessible under the new addresses after the reboot.

DHCP

If the network has a DHCP server for dynamic IP address allocation, set this parameter to On to activate the automatic acceptance of DHCP-assigned IP addresses. For certain applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for the camera. The IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the set IP address.

Gateway address

Enter the IP address of the gateway to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet. Otherwise, this field can remain empty (0.0.0.0).

Each device should be assigned a unique identifier that can be entered here as an additional means of identification.

6.1.2 Naming

Assign a unique name to assist in identification. This name simplifies the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems. The name is used for remote identification, for example, in the event of an alarm. Choose a name that makes it as easy as possible to identify the location unambiguously.

6.1.3 iSCSI 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.

6.2 Password

A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. 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 of the camera and allows all configuration settings to be changed.
user is the middle authorization level. This user can
operate the device, play back recordings, and also control a camera but cannot change the configuration.
live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to
view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as service or if the camera is not password protected.
Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed if all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. For example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user password should also be set. When assigning passwords, always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

6.2.1 Password

Define and change a separate password for each level. Enter the password (19 characters maximum) for the selected level.

6.2.2 Confirm password

Re-enter the new password to ensure that there are no typing mistakes. The new password is only saved after clicking Set. Therefore, click Set immediately after entering and confirming the password, even if assigning a password at another level.
