1 Introduction

1.1 Systems requirements

– 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 newer) operating system – Network access – Web browser:
– Internet Explorer version 11 (or newer)
Mozilla Firefox
– Application software, for example, VideoSecurityClient, BoschVideoClient, BVMS, or
Project Assistant app. – DirectX 11 – MPEG-ActiveX 6.34 (or newer) [required to see, in your browser, live images from the
camera] – Configuration Manager 7.0 (or newer)

1.2 Establishing 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 BVMS.
Project Assistant
In order to use this device with the Project Assistant app by Bosch, you must download the app from the Bosch Download Store, from Google Play, or from the Apple Store. You can access the app in several ways: – Scan the QR code from the QIG. – From www.boschsecurity.com, select Support > Apps and Tools > Online Apps - Video >
Bosch Project Assistant app. Select the appropriate operating system, and then click the
appropriate button to download and install the app. – From Google Play Store (play.google.com), search for Bosch Project Assistant. Select the
app from the list. Click the Install button.
2020-07 | 1.2 | User Manual Bosch Security Systems
MIC IP ultra 7100i │ MIC IP starlight 7100i Introduction | en 7

from the list. Click the appropriate button to download and install the app.

1.3 Password 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. 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.

3 General

3.1 Identification

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.
Video 1
Enter a name or description for the Video 1 stream (for example, “Visible image”).
Host naming
Enter a host name.
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.)

3.2 User 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.
2020-07 | 1.2 | User Manual Bosch Security Systems
MIC IP ultra 7100i │ MIC IP starlight 7100i General | en 11
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.
– 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. In the box User, fill in the fields. For Group, select the appropriate authorization level. For Type, select either Password (for a new password) or Certificate (for a certificate that the new user is authorized to use).
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.

3.3 Date/Time

Date format
Select the required date format from the dropdown menu.
Device date/Device time
Notice!
Make sure 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.

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. 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 address
The camera can receive the time signal from 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. You can choose to have the DHCP server give a time server date by selecting the Overwrite by
DHCP option.
Time server type
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. – Select Time protocol if the server uses the protocol RFC868. – The SNTP protocol supports a high level of accuracy and is required for special
applications and subsequent function extensions.
– Select TLS protocol if the server uses the RFC 5246 protocol. – Select Off to disable the time server. Click Set to apply the changes.

5.1 Installer Menu

Application variant
– If you are connecting to MIC-ALM-WAS-24, select “[camera name] - IO“ to allow the
camera to recognize additional inputs and outputs from this device and to allow control of an external washer unit.
– Otherwise, select “[camera name].”
Sensor mode
The sensor mode specifies the base resolution and frame rates for the image quality settings. Fast moving scenes use more frame rates (50 fps or 60 fps) for better image quality than slow moving scenes. Adjust this setting as necessary. This higher resolution (HD 1080p) gives maximum detail in these scenes, but can result in motion artifacts for fast-moving objects because of the lower frame rates. Some types of light can show flickering in the image when the frame rate is not synchronized with the mains power frequency. To avoid this, the sensor mode frame rate should be in line with the power frequency: – 50Hz: 25 or 50 fps – 60Hz: 30 or 60 fps Select On to output a mirror image of the camera picture.
Note: Privacy masks are not supported in mirror image mode.
Coding standard
Select the encoding mode: – H.264 – H.265 – H.265 (no B-frames) H.265 (no B-frames) is a restrictive mode for the encoder where it only supports I and P frames. This decreases calculation power so that there can be a higher frame rate (for example, 30 fps for a camera that might be restricted to 25 fps).

5.1.1 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. This parameter is important for Intelligent Tracking. If using Intelligent Tracking, select
Standard.
Standard
VCA Profile
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.

MIC IP ultra 7100i │ MIC IP starlight 7100i Camera | en 21
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 that are provided by any sensors that the camera may have. As an alternative, select the Calculate check box to get values based on the calibration elements that are marked on the image.
Height [m]
Enter the height manually, or click the refresh icon to obtain values that are provided by any sensors that the camera may have. As an alternative, select the Calculate check box to obtain values based on the calibration elements that are marked on the image.
Focal length
Enter the focal length manually, or click the refresh icon to obtain values that are provided by any sensors that the camera may have. As an alternative, select the Calculate check box to obtain values based on the calibration elements that are marked on the image.
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:
Bosch Security Systems User Manual 2020-07 | 1.2 |
22 en | Camera MIC IP ultra 7100i │ MIC IP starlight 7100i
– 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 4m long. Enter 4m 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.
– Remove a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then click the trash can
icon.
Note: Blue lines indicate calibration elements added by you. White lines represent the element as it should be positioned on the camera image based
on the current calibration results or the determined calibration data.
Horizon
If the values correspond, areas on the camera image have a colored background. blue: This area corresponds to the sky. The bottom line of the blue area represents the horizon. Objects that are detected in the blue area cannot be filtered correctly by size or speed. If the camera is installed at a relatively low height in a building, for example, this display is not required, because the entire area covered by the camera is below the horizon.
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. 1,80m (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
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. Select the coordinate system and enter the appropriate values in the additional input fields that appear depending on the coordinate system selected.
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.
Azimuth [°]
The orientation of the camera in a counter-clockwise angle starting with 0° in the east (WGS
84) or on the X-axis (Cartesian). If the camera is directed towards the north (WGS 84) or the Y-axis (Cartesian), the azimuth is 90°.

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.
Longitude
Longitude is the east-west position of the camera in the spherical coordinate system WGS 84.
Ground level [m]
The elevation of the ground above sea level. To determine the elevation of the camera, add the
Ground level [m] value and the Height [m] value of the camera.
Azimuth [°]
The orientation of the camera in a counter-clockwise angle starting with 0° in the east (WGS
84) or on the X-axis (Cartesian). If the camera is directed towards the north (WGS 84) or the
Y-axis (Cartesian), the azimuth is 90°.

5.2 Scene Mode

A scene mode is a collection of image parameters that are set in the camera when that particular mode is selected (installer menu settings are excluded). Several pre-defined modes are available for typical scenarios. After a mode has been selected, additional changes can be made through the user interface. Customize the mode, if necessary, for the specific requirements of the site by selecting different values for the fields below.
Current mode
Select the mode you wish to use from the drop-down menu. – Standard This mode is optimized for most standard scenes both indoor and outdoor. – Sensitivity boost This mode provides maximum sensitivity in low light scenes by using longer exposure times, resulting in bright images even in extreme low light. – Fast movement This mode is used for monitoring fast moving objects like cars in traffic scenes. Motion artifacts are minimized and the image is optimized for a sharp and detailed picture in color and monochrome. – Vibrant This mode provides a more vivid image with increased contrast, sharpness, and saturation. – Color Only (Traffic) In this mode, the camera does not switch to monochrome mode at low light levels. The mode is optimized to minimize motion artifacts and to capture the color of vehicles/pedestrians and traffic lights, even at night, for scenarios such as city surveillance and traffic monitoring. – Illuminator This mode gives optimized performance when using the MIC illuminator accessory. – Custom mode #1 If necessary, select a custom mode. – Custom mode #2 If necessary, select a second custom mode.

AE-response speed
Select the speed of the response of auto exposure. Options are Super slow, Slow, Medium (default), Fast.
Shutter Mode
– Fixed: The shutter mode is fixed to a selectable shutter speed. – Automatic exposure: increases camera sensitivity by increasing the integration time on
the camera. This is accomplished by integrating the signal from a number of consecutive video frames to reduce signal noise. If you select this option, the camera disables Shutter automatically.
Shutter
Adjusts the electronic shutter speed (AES). Controls the time period for which light is gathered by the collecting device. The default setting is 1x (60 Hz: 1/30, 50 Hz: 1/25)
Maximum automatic exposure
Use this field to limit the integration time when Frame Integration is active. The range of options is from 1/4 to 1/30 (default).
Default shutter limit
The camera tries to hold this shutter value as long as sufficient ambient light is available in the scene. The range of options is from 1/60 to 1/10000. The default value is 1/120 for all modes except
Motion (default 1/500).
Backlight compensation
The function will ignore small areas of high illumination directly into the camera. The function increases the brightness of the overall screen to make sure that subjects and the larger portion of the scene remain bright. Select Off to stop Backlight compensation. (Default) Select On to start Backlight compensation. Note: You cannot use High dynamic range and Backlight compensation at the same time. (When High dynamic range is On, Backlight compensation is Off.) ※ Backlight compensation does not work in Fixed shutter mode.

Night mode shutter
Controls the time period for which light is gathered by the collecting device while in night mode. Values are ¼, 1/8, 1/15, and 1/30; the default is 1/15.

5.2.2 Enhance

All settings on this page except for Intelligent Noise Reduction are scene-mode specific. This means that sharpness/noise suppression/HDR can be adjusted on each scene mode.
High dynamic range
The High dynamic range mode uses an electronic shutter to capture multiple images with different exposure times and to reproduce a high-contrast frame. The output frame combines the bright area captured by the high-speed shutter image and the dark area captured by the low-speed shutter image. The result is that you can view details in both the bright areas (highlights) and the dark areas (shadows) of a scene at the same time. Select On to start High dynamic range. (Default) Select Off to stop High dynamic range. Note: You cannot use High dynamic range and Backlight compensation at the same time. (When High dynamic range is On, Backlight compensation is Off.) ※ High dynamic range does not work in Fixed shutter mode.
Stabilization
Stabilization reduces camera shake in both the vertical and horizontal axis. The camera compensates for the movement of the image by up to 2% of the image size. This feature is ideal for cameras mounted on a pole or mast, or on another location that shakes frequently. – On - Stabilization is always on. – Off - Stabilization is disabled. – Auto - Stabilization activates automatically when the camera detects vibration greater
than the set threshold.
Sharpness mode Select the appropriate sharpness mode. Options are Manual and Auto.
Sharpness level
This field is active when Sharpness mode is set to Manual. Adjust the level of sharpness of the video image (from 1 to 15) using the slider. Adjustments to the Sharpness level appear on the OSD.
Gamma correction
This function lets you adjust the image contrast in the original scene, to make it lighter or darker. Contrast lets you get more detail in a dark area, or get video with more contrast. Use the slider to adjust the Gamma correction value. The higher the number, the better the image contrast.
Fine edge mode
This function makes video sharper for scenes with related colors and not much contrast. Examples of scenes for which to use this function are scenes with a forest or a lawn.
Black line enhancement
This function increases the sharpness of objects in an image by adding a black line around the objects. This effect makes more of a distinction between one element and another in a scene. The default value is Auto.
Intelligent Defog
With the Intelligent Defog mode feature, visibility can be improved significantly when viewing foggy or other low-contrast scenes. Select Auto to activate the Intelligent Defog feature automatically as needed.

Select Off to disable the feature. Select Extreme to activate the feature for viewing images of very low contrast.
Intelligent Defog intensity
Select the amount of intensity for the defog feature.
Note: This field appears only when the option in Intelligent Defog is "On" or "Auto."
Noise reduction
By default, this option is On. Noise reduction On enables temporal noise reduction, which reduces random video noise in the picture by averaging pixels across time if the difference between them is below a threshold. Off disables temporal noise reduction.
2D noise reduction level
This field operates in conjunction with the field Noise reduction to reduce the noise introduced by the brightness of the image. When Noise reduction is set to “On,” then the 2D noise reduction level field is active. Select the appropriate level of noise reduction, from 1 to 5 (2 is the default).
3D noise reduction level
This field operates in conjunction with the field Noise reduction to reduce the noise introduced by movements in the scene. When Noise reduction is set to “On,” then the 3D noise reduction level field is active. Select the appropriate level of noise reduction, from 1 to 5 (2 is the default).
Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction
Select On to activate intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) which reduces noise based on motion and light levels.

5.2.3 Scene Mode Scheduler

The scene mode scheduler is used to determine which scene mode should be used during the day and which scene mode should be used during the night.
1. Select the mode you wish to use during the day from Marked range drop-down box.
2. Select the mode you wish to use during the night from Unmarked range drop-down box.
3. Use the two slider buttons to set the Time ranges.

5.3 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.
