1.2 Establishing 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.
Password protection in the device
The device is password protected across various authorization levels. You must set a password for the ‘service’ authorization level to get access to the device. Make sure the password obeys these conditions: – 8 to 19 characters in length – Upper and lower case letters – Minimum of 1 digit – Minimum of 1 special character
These special characters are not allowed: ‘@’, ‘&’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘:’, ‘+’
1. Enter the password in the two text fields.

Positioning
The Positioning feature describes the location of the camera and the perspective in the camera’s field of view. Perspective information is essential to Video Analytics, as it enables the system to compensate for the illusory smallness of distant objects. Only through use of perspective information is it possible to distinguish objects such as persons, bicycles, cars and trucks, and accurately compute their real size and speeds as they move through 3D space. However, to calculate perspective information accurately, the camera must be directed at a single, flat horizontal plane. Multiple and inclined planes, hills, stairs can falsify perspective information and produce incorrect object information such as size and speed.
Mounting position
The mounting position describes the perspective information that is also often called calibration. In general, the mounting position is determined by the parameters of the camera such as height, roll angle, tilt angle, and focal length. The height of the camera must always be entered manually. Whenever possible, roll angle and tilt angle are provided by the camera itself. The focal length is provided, if the camera has a built-in lens.
Tilt angle [°]
Enter the tilt angle if the value is not determined by the camera. The tilt angle describes the angle between the horizontal and the camera. A tilt angle of 0° means that the camera is mounted parallel to the ground. A tilt angle of 90° means that the camera is mounted vertically in bird’s eye view perspective. The flatter the tilt angle is set, the less accurate the estimate of object sizes and speeds will be. The settings must be between 0° and 90°. Estimates are no longer possible when you have reached 0°.
Roll angle [°]
Enter the roll angle if the value is not determined by the camera. The roll angle describes the angle between the roll axis and the horizontal plane. The angle can deviate from the horizontal by up to 45°.
Height [m]
Enter the height in meters of the position of the camera. The height describes the vertical distance from the camera to the ground plane of the captured image. Typically the elevation of the mounted camera above the ground.
Focal length [mm]
Enter the focal length in millimeters of the position of the camera if the value is not determined by the camera.
2019-10 | V01 | DOC User manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
The focal length is determined by the lens. The shorter the focal length, the wider the field of view. The longer the focal length, the narrower the field of view and the higher the magnification.

Sketch
Click to improve the automatic calibration. The Sketch Calibration window is displayed. The Sketch functionality offers an additional, half-automatic calibration method. This calibration method allows you to describe the perspective in the camera’s field of view by drawing vertical lines, ground lines, and ground angles in the camera image and entering the correct size and angle. Use the Sketch functionality if the result of the automatic calibration is not sufficient. You can also combine this manual calibration with the values for roll angle, tilt angle, height and focal length calculated by the camera or entered manually. Select the Calculate check box to obtain the roll angle, tilt angle, height and focal length from the sketched calibration elements - vertical lines, ground lines and angles - you have placed in the camera. Clear the Calculate check box to enter a value manually or to refresh to the values provided by the camera itself.
Configuration | en 23
Calibrating cameras using the Sketch Calibration window
To determine non-automatically set values:
1. Enter the value for tilt angle, roll angle, height and focal length if the value is known, for example, by measuring the height of the camera above the ground, or reading the focal length from the lens.
2. For each value that is still unknown, select the Calculate check box, then place a calibration element on the camera image. Use these calibration elements to trace individual outlines of the displayed environment in the camera image and define the position and size of these lines and angles.
– Click to place a vertical line across the image.
A vertical line corresponds to a line that is perpendicular to the ground plane, such as a door frame, edge of a building or a lamp post.
– Click to place a line across the ground in the image.
A line on ground corresponds to a line that is on the ground plane, such as a road marking.
– Click to place an angle on the ground in the image.
The angle on ground represents an angle lying on the horizontal ground plane, such as the corner of a carpet or parking bay markings.
3. Adjust the calibration elements to the situation: – Enter the real size of a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then enter
the size in the corresponding box. Example: You have placed a line on ground across the lower side of an automobile. You know that the automobile is 4m long. Enter 4m as the length of the line.
– Adjust the position or length of a line or angle. To do this, drag the line or angle or
move the end points to the desired position in the camera image.

Notice!
If the distance to the camera (geolocation) is not relevant, it is enough to determine height and focal length in relation to each other. This allows a simple calibration by marking 2-3 persons ‑ each with a vertical line ‑ and setting their size. 1,80m (71 in.) for all is sufficient. Use at least one person in the front and one person in the background of the image for best results.
Coordinate system
Select the coordinate system and enter the appropriate values in the additional input fields that appear depending on the coordinate system selected. The Coordinate system feature describes the position of the camera in a local Cartesian or the global WGS 84 coordinate system. The camera and the objects tracked by the video analytics are displayed on a map.
Cartesian
The Cartesian coordinate system describes each point in the space by a combination of the position on three orthogonal axes X, Y and Z. A right-handed coordinate system is used, where X and Y span the ground plane and Z describes the elevation of the ground plane.
X [m]
The location of the camera on the ground on the X-axis.
Y [m]
The location of the camera on the ground on the Y-axis.
Z [m]
The elevation of the ground plane. To determine the elevation of the camera, add the Z [m] value and the Height [m] value of the camera.
WGS 84
The WGS 84 coordinate system is a spherical coordinate system description of the world and used in many standards including GPS.
Latitude
Latitude is the north-south position of the camera in the spherical coordinate system WGS 84.

Maximum bit rate
The encoder maintains the maximum bit rate over a number of GOPs (group-of-pictures), limiting image quality when necessary. To ensure long-term stability of the maximum bit rate, use the Averaging period. The value entered in this field must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the field Target bit rate. If the value entered here is too low, it will be adjusted automatically. The value in this field is not to be interpreted as the network transmission bit rate.
3000i | DINION IP 3000i IR | FLEXIDOME IP turret
3000i IR
Averaging period
Select the appropriate averaging period as a means of stabilizing the long term bit rate.
Target bit rate
To optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the device. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion. For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this limit can temporarily be exceeded up to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field.
Encoding interval
The Encoding interval slider determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. This can be particularly advantageous with low bandwidths. The image rate is displayed next to the slider.
Video resolution
Select the desired resolution for the video image for Standard Definition (SD) streams. This setting is not used by High Definition (HD) streams.
Expert Settings
If necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to specific requirements. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).
GOP structure
Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures (GOP). To have the lowest possible delay, choose IP.
I-frame distance
Use the slider to set the distance between I-frames to Auto or to between 3 and 255. An entry of 3 means that every third image is an I-frame. The lower the number, the more I-frames are generated.
2019-10 | V01 | DOC User manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Allow enhanced prediction
This function allows for multiple references in H.264 and H.265 streams, which can reduce bitrate. Some decoders do not support this feature and therefore can be disabled.
Min. P-frame QP
In the H.264-protocol, the Quantization Parameter (QP) specifies the degree of compression and thus the image quality for every frame. The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality. A higher quality produces a higher data load. Typical QP values are between 18 and
30. Define the lower limit for the quantization of the P-frames here, and thus the maximum
achievable quality of the P-frames.
I/P-frame delta QP
This parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame QP to the P-frame QP. For example, you can set a lower value for I-frames by moving the slide control to a negative value. Thus, the quality of the I-frames relative to the P-frames is improved. The total data load will increase, but only by the portion of I-frames. To obtain the highest quality at the lowest bandwidth, even in the case of increased movement in the picture, configure the quality settings as follows:
1. Observe the coverage area during normal movement in the preview images.
2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at which the image quality still meets your needs.
3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible value. This is how to save bandwidth and memory in normal scenes. The image quality is retained even in the case of increased movement since the bandwidth is then filled up to the value that is entered under Maximum bit rate.

Ten recording profiles are available where these recording tracks can be defined differently. These profiles are then used for building schedules.
A Video Recording Manager (VRM) can control all recording when accessing an iSCSI system. The VRM is an external program for configuring recording tasks for video servers.

4.4.1 Storage Management

Device manager
The Device manager indicates if storage is controlled locally or by a VRM system. An external Video Recording Manager (VRM) system for the unit is configured via the Configuration Manager.
Recording media
Select a media tab to connect to the available storage media.
iSCSI Media
To use an iSCSI system as the storage medium, a connection to the desired iSCSI system is required to set the configuration parameters. The storage system selected must be available on the network and completely set up. It must have an IP address and be divided into logical drives (LUNs).
1. Enter the IP address of the required iSCSI destination in the iSCSI IP address field.
2. If the iSCSI destination is password protected, enter the password into the Password field.
3. Click Read.
2019-10 | V01 | DOC User manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
– The connection to the IP address is established.
The Storage overview field displays the logical drives.
Local Media
An SD card inserted in the camera can be used for local recording. 4 If the SD card is password protected, enter the password into the Password field. The Storage overview field displays the local media. Note: SD card recording performance is highly dependent on the speed (class) and performance of the SD card. It is recommended to use an industrial SD card with health monitoring.
Local storage To activate the ANR settings, Recording 1 must be assigned to an iSCSI target and Recording 2 to a local storage.
This function enables recording to the iSCSI target. If there is a network disconnection, the video is recorded to the local storage. When the network is recovered, the video recorded to the local storage is transferred to the iSCSI target and completes the missing information.
Activating and configuring storage media
Available media or iSCSI drives must be transferred to the Managed storage media list, activated, and configured for storage.

4.5.2 Video Content Analysis (VCA)

The camera has integrated Video Content Analysis (VCA) which detects and analyzes changes in the picture using image processing algorithms. Such changes can be due to movements in the camera's field of view. Detection of movement can be used to trigger an alarm and to transmit metadata.
Various VCA configurations can be selected and adapted to your application, as required.
Refer to Setting up VCA for more information on setting up video content analysis.
Note:
If there is not enough computing power, priority is given to live images and recordings. This can lead to impairment of the VCA system. Observe the processor load and optimize the encoder settings or the VCA settings if necessary, or turn off VCA completely.
Setting up VCA
Several VCA configurations are available. – Off – Silent VCA – Profile #1 – Profile #2 – Scheduled – Event triggered
Configuration | en 39
Silent VCA
In this configuration, metadata is created to facilitate searches of recordings, however, no alarm is triggered. 4 In the VCA configuration drop-down list, select Silent VCA. No parameters can be changed for this selection.
Profile # 1/ Profile # 2
Two profiles can be set up with different VCA configurations
1. In the VCA configuration drop-down list, select profile 1 or 2 and enter the required settings.
2. If necessary, click Default to return all settings to default values.
To rename a profile:
1. To rename the file, click the icon to the right of the list field and enter the new profile name in the field.
2. Click the icon again. The new profile name is saved.
The current alarm status is displayed for information purposes.
Scenario
Scenarios are applications with pre-defined settings that are adapted to specific use cases. All relevant settings, from tasks to metadata, are set automatically by the system. The following scenarios are available: – Intrusion (one field) – Intrusion (two fields) – People counting – Traffic incidents

Notice!
A camera calibration is required for all scenarios. Using the scenarios will reset the VCA configuration to the scenario defaults. All values (Metadata Generation and Tasks) can be edited after activating the scenario defaults. Delete tasks that do not fit your use cases.
Analysis type
Select the required analysis algorithm. Motion+ offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering. Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this is explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings. With the Motion+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded are marked with rectangles.
Aggregation time [s]
Set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds. The aggregation time always starts when an alarm event occurs. It extends the alarm event by the value set. This prevents alarm events that occur in quick succession from triggering several alarms and successive events in a rapid sequence. No further alarm is triggered during the aggregation time. The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts once the aggregation time has expired.
Alarm status
The alarm status is displayed here for information purposes. This means you can check the effects of your settings immediately. Click Configuration to set up the analysis type.
Tamper detection
Detect tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.
Reference check
Save a reference image that can be continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is triggered. This detects tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example, if the camera is turned.
1. Click Reference to save the currently visible video image as a reference.
2. Click Add mask and select the areas in the reference image that are to be ignored. Click Set to apply.
3. Check the box Reference check to activate the on-going check. The stored reference image is displayed in black and white below the current video image.
4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check once again.
Sensitivity
The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.
2019-10 | V01 | DOC User manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Trigger delay [s]
Set delayed alarm triggering here. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This avoids false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.
Disappearing edges
The area selected in the reference image should contain a prominent structure. If this structure is concealed or moved, the reference check triggers an alarm. If the selected area is too homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure would not trigger an alarm, then an alarm is triggered immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.
Appearing edges
Select this option if the selected area of the reference image includes a largely homogenous surface. If structures appear in this area, then an alarm is triggered.
Global change
Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.
Global change (slider)
Set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This
setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Mask.... Set a high value if fewer
sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm. This option allows detection, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for example.
Configuration | en 41
Current brightness
For information, the current brightness of the camera scene is displayed. The brighter the scene, the higher the value. Use this value as an indicator when defining a corresponding threshold.
Scene too bright

Quality of service
The priority of the different data channels can be set by defining the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP). Enter a number between 0 and 252 as a multiple of four. For alarm video you can set a higher priority than for regular video and you can define a Post Alarm Time over which this priority is maintained.

4.7.6 Multicast

The device can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. The stream is either duplicated and then distributed to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast), or it is sent as a single stream to the network, where it is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses UDP and the Internet Group Management protocol (IGMPV2). The network must support group IP addresses. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.
A special IP address from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (classD address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams, however, it is necessary to use a different port in each case.
3000i | DINION IP 3000i IR | FLEXIDOME IP turret
3000i IR
The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. The video channels can be individually selected for each stream.
Enable
Enable simultaneous data reception on receivers that need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the box and enter the multicast address.
Multicast Address
Enter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data stream in the network).
With a 0.0.0.0 setting, the encoder for the stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.
Port
Enter the port address for the stream here.
Streaming
Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode. An activated stream is marked with a check. (Streaming is typically not required for standard multicast operation.)
Metadata
You can enable multicast metadata here. The configuration follows the same pattern as for video multicast, but without the streaming option. Define a multicast address and define a port.
2019-10 | V01 | DOC User manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Audio
You can enable multicast audio for different encoders here. The configuration follows the same pattern as for video multicast, but without the streaming option. Define a multicast address and define a port for the different encoders.
Multicast packet TTL
A value can be entered to specify how long the multicast data packets are active on the network. If multicast is to be run via a router, the value must be greater than 1.
IGMP version
Set the multicast IGMP version to comply with the device.
