Configuration Prerequisites
To operate the camera in your network, you must configure the camera properly for your
network. You will need the following information:
– Unit IP address: An identifier for the camera on a TCP/IP network.
Default: 192.168.0.1 (if your network does not have a DHCP server)
or
the first available IP address (if your network has a DHCP server)
Note: You will likely need to change the IP address of your camera so that it does not
conflict with another device on your network. Refer to the section Network > Network
Access for more information.
– Subnet mask: A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
Default: 255.255.255.0
– Gateway IP address: A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network.
Default: 0.0.0.0
– Port: An endpoint to a logical connection in TCP/IP and UDP networks. The port number
identifies the use of the port for use through a firewall connection.
Notice!
Ensure that the network parameters of your camera are available before you begin
configuration. Contact your local network administrator for a valid IP address, Subnet mask,
and Gateway IP address.
The following sections provide instructions about installing the software necessary to view
images over an IP connection, configuring the IP network settings, and accessing the camera
images from a Web browser.
The camera has a default IP address of 192.168.0.1. To change the IP address or any network
settings, you can use the Configuration Manager software or the built-in Web server.
Notice!
Contact your local network administrator for a valid IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Gateway
IP Address.
Using the built-in Web Server
1. Set the IP address on the network device to 192.168.0.10 to ensure that the network
device and the camera are on the same Subnet.
2. Launch your web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) and navigate to the
following URL: http://192.168.0.1. The web browser opens the Live page for the camera;
a security warning message appears.
3. Select the box Always Trust, and then click YES.
4. Click Configuration at the top right of the page.
5. Select Network. The menu expands.
6. Select Network Access. The page Network Access opens.
7. Configure the settings on this page based on the addresses provided by your local
network administrator.
4 Click Set and Reboot. The camera will reset (go through the homing sequence, which
usually takes 30 seconds to complete), and then the Live page appears, with updated
video and the new IP address.

Identification
Camera name
The camera name makes it easier to identify the remote camera location, in the event of an
alarm for example. It will be displayed in the video screen if configured to do so. The camera
name makes the task of administering cameras in larger video monitoring systems easier, for
example using the BVC or Bosch Video Management Systems Programs.
Enter a unique, unambiguous name for the camera in this field. You can use both lines for this.
Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not
supported by the system's internal management.
You can use the second line for entering additional characters; these can be selected from a
table.
1. Click the icon next to the second line. A new window with the character map is opened.
2. Click the required character. The character is inserted into the Result field.
3. In the character map, click the << and >> icons to move between the different pages of
the table, or select a page from the list field.
4. Click the < icon to the right of the Result field to delete the last character, or click the X
icon to delete all characters.
5. Now click the OK button to apply the selected characters to the second line of the
Camera 1 parameters. The window will close.
Camera ID
Each device should be assigned a unique identifier that can be entered here as an additional
means of identification.
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
Bosch Security Systems Operation Manual 2016.02 | 4.0 |
Password
The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit.
You can use different authorization levels to limit access.
Notice!
Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also
protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user
password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start
from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.
Password
The camera operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access
all the functions of the camera and change all configuration settings.
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for
example, but you cannot change the configuration.
The lowest authorization level is live. 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 unit is not password protected.

Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.
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 your required date format.
Device date/Device time
Notice!
Ensure 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.
Device time zone
Select the time zone in which your system is located.
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 up to the year 2018. You can use
these data or create alternative time saving data if required.
Notice!
If you do not create a table, there will be no automatic switching. When changing and clearing
individual entries, remember that two entries are usually related to each other and dependent
on one another (switching to summer time and back to normal time).
1. First check whether the correct time zone is selected. If it is not correct, select the
appropriate time zone for the system, and click the Set button.
2. Click the Details button. A new window will open and you will see the empty table.
3. Select the region or the city that is closest to the system's location from the list field
below the table.
4. Click the Generate button to generate data from the database in the unit and enter it into
the table.
5. Make changes by clicking an entry in the table. The entry is selected.
6. Clicking the Delete button will remove the entry from the table.

made immediately.
8. If there are empty lines at the bottom of the table, for example after deletions, you can
add new data by marking the row and selecting required values from the list fields.
9. Now click the OK button to save and activate the table.
Time server IP address
The camera can receive the time signal from a 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.
Time server type
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should
select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required
for special applications and subsequent function extensions.
Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.

Encoder Profile
For the video signal encoding, you can select a code algorithm and you can change the presets
for the profiles.
You can adapt the video data transmission to the operating environment (for example network
structure, bandwidth, data load). To this end, the camera simultaneously generates two data
streams (Dual Streaming), which compression settings you can select individually, for example
one setting for transmissions to the Internet and one for LAN connections.
Pre-programmed profiles are available, each giving priority to different perspectives.
You can change individual parameter values of a profile and you can also change the name.
You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs.
Caution!
The profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of parameters that interact with
one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles.
Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the configuration options.
Note: In the default setting, Stream 1 is transmitted for alarm connections and automatic
connections.
Notice!
All parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent on one another. If you enter a
setting that is outside the permitted range for a particular parameter, the nearest permitted
value will be substituted when the settings are saved.
Profile name
Default Profile name Description
HD Image Optimized For an HD image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to ensure that the picture quality is the priority.
HD Balanced For an HD image, the video bit rate and frame quality are

If required, enter a new name for the profile.
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.
Maximum bit rate
This maximum bit rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video
quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in individual images being skipped.
The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target bit
rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it will be adjusted automatically.
Encoding interval
This parameter determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. For
example, entering or selecting 4 means that only every fourth image is encoded, while the
following there are skipped, which can be particularly advantageous for networks with low
bandwidths. The image rate in (images per second (ips) appears next to the text field or
slider.
Video resolution
Select the desired resolution for the video image.
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 that you require for the group of pictures, depending on whether you
place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little
bandwidth as possible.
Options are IP, IBP, and IBBP.
Averaging period
Select the appropriate averaging period as a means of stabilizing the long term bit rate.
I-frame distance
This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. Auto means
auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. Values range from 3 to 60.
An entry of 3 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 4 indicates that
only every fourth image is an I-frame, and so on; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.
Note that the values supported depend on the GOP structure setting. For example, only even
values are supported with IBP; if you have selected IBBP, only 3 or multiples of 3 are
supported.
Min. P-frame QP
This parameter allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frame and to define the lower
limit for the quantization of the P-frames, and thus the maximum achievable quality of the Pframes. 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 quantization of the P-

frame (QP value), the higher the encoding quality (and thus the best image quality) and the
lower the frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate under
network settings. A higher quantization value results in low image quality and lower network
load. Typical QP values are between 18 and 30.
The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video
quality.
I/P-frame delta QP
This parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame quantization (QP) to the P-frame quantization
(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. The basic setting Auto
automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus).
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.
Background delta QP
Select the appropriate encoding quality level for a background region defined in Encoder
Regions. The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality.
Object delta QP
Select the appropriate encoding quality level for an object region defined in Encoder Regions.
The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality.

Encoder Regions
User can configure encoding regions for every configured preset (preposition/scene), to
increase or decrease the encoding quality for selectable areas of the video image. These
regions give better control of the bit rate. Important parts of the scene (identified as objects
in the GUI) are encoded at high resolution and therefore have an enhanced encoding quality.
Less important parts (such as the sky and trees in the background, all identified as
backgrounds in the GUI) are encoded at lower quality and therefore have a decreased
encoding quality.
Eight encoder regions can be defined. To define encoder regions, follow these steps.
1. From the first drop-down box (the unlabeled Regions selection list), select one of the
eight available regions. (The drop-down box has the default option of Region 1).
2. Click the + box to add an area.
3. Use the mouse to define the area (shape) that the region covers and to position the area
(shape) in the preview of the video image.
– Drag the center, corner points, or sides of the shaded area (shape).
– Double-click a side to add additional points to the area (shape).
4. From the last drop-down box (the unlabeled Mode selection list), select the encoder
quality for the defined area. (The drop-down box has the default option of Default).
For unimportant parts of the video image, select Background.
For important parts of the video image, select Object.
(The quality levels for Background and for Object are defined in the Expert Settings
section of the page Encoder Profile.)
5. For PTZ cameras: From the second drop-down box (the unlabeled Prepositions/Scenes
selection list), select a Preposition/Scene to which to add the region. (The drop-down list
is blank by default unless you have defined at least one scene, in which case the default is
Preposition 1 or the custom name for the preposition).
Note: If you have not yet defined any prepositions/scenes, refer to Prepositions and
Tours.
6. If required, select another region and repeat the steps.
7. To remove a region, select the area and click the waste bin icon.
8. Click Set to apply the region settings.

Select the number of the privacy mask. A colored rectangle appears in the unlabeled video
preview window above the Set button.
3. Navigate to the scene where the privacy mask is required.
4. Use the Zoom controls to zoom in so that the object to be covered is approximately the
same size as the Mask Outline.
5. Use the Pan/Tilt controls to center the object inside the Mask Outline.
Note: Do not move the mask outline at this time. It should remain in the center of the preview
window.
6. If required, place the cursor on a corner or on a vertex of the mask rectangle, and then click
and drag to expand or to shrink the Mask Outline.
– To avoid hiding too much of the scene, don’t expand the mask outline more than twice
the default size.
– To provide the optimum mask performance, don’t shrink the mask outline to less than
half of the default size.
7. Click the Enabled check box to activate the privacy mask.
8. Move the privacy mask if desired. Place the cursor inside the privacy mask area in the
preview window and then click and drag to move the privacy mask. Note: Keep it as close to
the center of the Preview Window as possible.
9. Click SET to save the size and the position of the privacy mask.
10. The mask expands by 10% for a few seconds to illustrate how much the mask size will
increase during Pan/Tilt movement.
11. To hide an individual mask, select the mask number and clear the Enabled check box.
12. To hide all masks from an image view, click the Disable Masks check box.
Note: If you choose to hide all masks, you must enable each individual mask to show the mask
in the scene.
13. To display IVA behind privacy masks, click the IVA behind masks check box.
Notice!
