Bosch Security Systems

MIC IP starlight 7000i Browser connection | en 5

1 Browser connection

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

1.1Systems requirements

Our recommendations are:

–Computer with Intel Skylake processor or better

–Intel HD530 graphic card with performance that matches or is better than the resolution of the camera

–Windows 7 or later operating system

–Network access

–Internet Explorer version 11 or later

– or –

Application software, for example, Video Security Client, Bosch Video Client or Bosch

Video Management System.

Note:

To see live images in your browser it might be necessary to download and install the MPEGActiveX from the Bosch download store.

1.2Establishing 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.

If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication), you must configure the device before the device can communicate with the network.

To configure the device, connect it directly to a computer using a network cable and then set the service-level password.

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 Bosch Video Client or Bosch Video Management System.

1.3Password protection in camera

The device is password-protected. The first time that any user accesses the device, the device will prompt the user to set a password at the service level.

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.

Bosch Security Systems

User Manual

2017.11 | 1.2 |

6	en | Browser connection	MIC IP starlight 7000i

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.

1.Fill in the fields User name and Password.

2.Click OK. If the password is correct, the desired page appears.

4 General

4.1Identification

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.

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.)

4.2User 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.

2017.11 | 1.2 |

User Manual

Bosch Security Systems

MIC IP starlight 7000i	General | en 15

–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.

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.

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.

4.3Date/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 for many years in advance. If the date, time and zone have been set up correctly, a DST table is automatically created.

Bosch Security Systems

User Manual

2017.11 | 1.2 |

16 en | General	MIC IP starlight 7000i

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 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.

4.4Display Stamping

Various overlays or “stamps” in the video image provide important supplementary information. These overlays can be enabled individually and are arranged on the image in a clear manner.

Camera name stamping

6.1.1Positioning

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.

This parameter is important for Intelligent Tracking. If using Intelligent Tracking, select

Standard.

The MIC camera provides the tilt angle and the focal length automatically to complete the global calibration for every potential field of view of the camera.

Height [m]

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. Enter the height in meters of the position of the camera.

Sketch

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.

Click to improve the automatic calibration. The Sketch Calibration window is displayed.

VCA Profile

Select the appropriate profile.

Global

Select the Global check box to use the global, overall calibration for all AUTODOME and MIC cameras.

Alternatively, clear the Global check box to obtain a local calibration and overwrite the global calibration for the selected profile. To do this, select the VCA profile before.

Notice!

The Sketch functionality is only available for configured and assigned pre-positions.

For AUTODOME and MIC cameras, configure the pre-positions of the camera and assign the pre-positions to one of the available 16 VCA profiles before calibration with Sketch. Applications are pre-positions of cameras directed towards different ground planes, an optimized calibration for inclined ground planes or large focal lengths. A local pre-position calibration does not change the global calibration.

It is also possible to calibrate pre-positions without entering a global calibration.

Calculate

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.

Tilt angle [°] / Roll angle [°]

Enter the angle manually, or click the refresh icon to obtain values provided by any sensors that the camera may have. Alternatively, select the Calculate check box to obtain values based on the calibration elements marked on the image.
