2 Product Description
2.1 Overview of Functions
Network video server
The encoder is a compact network video server for a connected video source. It is primarily
designed for encoding video, audio, and control data for transfer over an IP network. With its
encoding in the H.264 format, the encoder is ideally suited for making existing analog CCTV
cameras IP-compatible and for remote access to digital VCRs and multiplexers. The use of
existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be
achieved quickly and easily. Two units, for example an encoder as a sender and a VIP XD as a
receiver, can create a standalone system for data transfer without a PC. Video images from a
single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers. Audio signals can also be
transmitted from and to compatible units.
Receiver
Compatible H.264 enabled hardware decoders (for example the VIP XD) can be used as
receivers. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS or computers with the Microsoft
Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used as receivers.
Video encoding
The encoder uses the H.264 video compression standard. Thanks to efficient encoding, the
data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local
conditions within wide limits.
Audio encoding
The encoder uses the G.711 and L16 audio compression standards. G.711 is the default
setting both for live transmission and recording. When configuring with a Web browser, you
can select L16 for recording. Using video management systems, L16 is also available for live
audio.
Dual Streaming
Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to
two different, individually customized profiles. This feature creates two data streams that can
serve different purposes, for example one for recording and one optimized for live
transmission over the LAN.
Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous real-time video
transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 protocols must be implemented on
the network for this function.
Encryption
The encoder offers a variety of options for protection against unauthorized reading. Web
browser connections can be protected using HTTPS. You can protect the control channels via
the SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user data itself can be encrypted.
Remote control
For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or motorized zoom
lenses, control data is transmitted via the encoder's bidirectional serial interface. This
interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.
MIC Series IP Power Supply Product Description | en 11
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.265.804 | 1.6 | 2012.08
Video content analysis and tamper detection
The encoder offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event of
tampering with the connected camera. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video
image is also part of the scope of delivery. The standard version optionally can be extended to
include special video analysis algorithms.
Snapshots
Individual video frames (snapshots) from the encoder can be called up as JPEG images,
stored on the computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window.
Recordings
Various local memory options enable the encoder to be used as a digital VCR. A connection to
an appropriately configured iSCSI system enables long-term recordings with high image
quality over the network.
Backup
A function for storing the video images displayed on the hard drive of your computer is
available on the LIVEPAGE as well as on the RECORDINGS page. Video sequences can be
stored by means of a mouse click and can be redisplayed using the Player program supplied
as part of the scope of delivery.
2.2 Summary of Functions
The encoder provides the following main functions:
– Video and data transmission over IP data networks
– Dual Streaming function for the encoder for simultaneous encoding with two individually
definable profiles
– Multicast function for simultaneous image transmission to multiple receivers
– One analog BNC composite video input (PAL/NTSC, 75 ohm)

– Integrated Ethernet port (10/100 Base-T)
– SD slot that supports local storage on SD cards (user-supplied) [ideal for shorter storage
times and temporary recordings, for example alarm recordings or local buffering in the
event of network interruptions]
– Transparent, bidirectional data channel via RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial interface
– Configuration and remote control of all internal functions via TCP/IP, also secured via
HTTPS
– Password protection to prevent unauthorized connection or configuration changes
– Extensive, flexible storage options

3.5 Earth Link on the PCB
The printed circuit board (PCB) of each MIC PSU (IR and non-IR) has one Earth Link option,
near terminal block HD1, to allow the PSU to be set up for different earthing schemes:
– If there is a separate connection between video screen and earth, the Earth Link should
be broken. This usually occurs on copper-connected systems where all of the copper
video coaxes are taken back to the control room to be connected to a central earth point.
– If fiber optics or other indirect connections are used to get data and video to and from
the control room, then the Earth Link should be left intact, as long as it is the only
camera-end earth reference point.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.265.804 | 1.6 | 2012.08
3.7 Installation Instructions
To install the power supply, follow these steps:
1. Select the mounting position of the MIC PSU so that the PSU cannot be interfered with
either intentionally or accidentally. Bosch recommends using a lockable cabinet.
2. Loosen the four (4) captive Phillips head screws on the top of the lid of the power supply
enclosure (item 11, Figure 3.1). Lift the lid and set it upside down next to the enclosure.
CAUTION!
Installation must be made by qualified personnel and conform to ANSI/NFPA 70 (the National
Electrical Code
®
(NEC)), Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (also called CE Code or CSA C22.1),
and all applicable local codes. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. accepts no liability for any
damages or losses caused by incorrect or improper installation.
DANGER!
– ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before opening or working on
any power supply unit. Power must be disconnected before replacing any fuse in the MIC
PSU. Power supply units have power supplied whenever the power cord is inserted into
the power source.
– MIC PSUs have a separate internal shield covering the power cable input terminal block
(HD1). Only suitably qualified persons should remove this shield and connect the mains
power cable. The shield MUST be re-installed and fully secured before connecting the
power.
– The power supply cable shall have conductors of a maximum size of 12 AWG.
– Branch circuit protection is required. A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect device with a
contact separation of at least 3mm must be incorporated externally to the equipment.
WARNING!
To meet UL standards and ratings, all external wires for installation applications must be
routed through a permanently earthed metal conduit.
CAUTION!
– Do not connect MIC IR units to a MIC PSU with the heater option enabled as this can
result in damage to the cameras. Ensure that an IR power supply is used with a MIC IR
camera unit. Heaters are available for MIC612 cameras only.
– Except for the Earth Link, heater links (MIC612), and applicable fuse, the MIC PSUs have
no user-adjustable parts. MIC cameras have no user-serviceable parts.
– Bosch recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in connection with a
MIC camera/PSU installation.
– MIC PSU enclosures are not EXD rated and must be replaced with a certified enclosure if
installed within a hazardous area.
NOTICE!
To maintain the IP (protection) rating of the power supply enclosure, install only listed or
recognized conduit hubs or fittings with the same environmental rating as the enclosure in
compliance with the installation instruction of the hub or fitting.

3. Locate the four (4) mounting holes of the PSU (see Figure 3.5). The dimensions shown
are for the mounting holes only. The other four (4) holes shown are for securing the lid.
Figure 3.5 MIC IP PSU Mounting Dimensions
4. Drill four (4) holes in the mounting surface for the mounting anchors appropriate for M6
screws (not supplied).
5. Secure the PSU to the mounting surface using four (4) M6 stainless steel screws and
washers (not supplied).
6. Undo the two (2) M3 screws on the internal high voltage input head-end shield (marked
with "Danger") covering the power cable terminal HD1; retain the screws.
7. Remove the internal shield and set it nearby, outside of the PSU enclosure.
8. Remove the blanking plug covering the hole for the power cable (item 6, Figure 3.1).
Install suitable (metal) conduit (not supplied) in the hole. Secure the conduit as
recommended by the conduit manufacturer.
NOTICE!
– Do not stretch or cut, or otherwise disturb, the earth core cable to the inside of the lid
and to the earth termination post . (See Figure 3.6.)
– Note the position of the thermal pads. They should be sticking onto either the built-in
stand-offs on the inside of the lid of the enclosure, or onto designated spots on the
encoder. If the pads are not positioned correctly, they can cause the encoder to stop
functioning properly. See Figure 3.9 and Figure 3.10 for details.
NOTICE!
If you are securing the power supply enclosure in a vertical position (for example, on a wall),
one person should hold the enclosure lid while another secures the enclosure body in place,
to avoid damage to any part of the enclosure, and/or injury to the installer(s).
CAUTION!
Only installations with conduit meet UL standards. If you choose to use a power cord without
conduit (not recommended), fit the 1/2 in. NPT cable gland (supplied) in place of the blanking
plug. It is easier to fit the power cord through the cable gland outside of the enclosure, and
then attach the gland to the enclosure. Ensure that the cable gland has sufficient room to
allow for the cable to enter (approximately 60 mm on either side of the enclosure).

3.11 Hardware connections between video servers
An encoder with a camera connected to it can be used as a sender and a compatible hardware
decoder (such as the VIP XD) with a connected monitor as a receiver using an Ethernet
network connection. In this way it is possible to cover long distances without the need for
major installation or cabling work.
Installation
Compatible video servers are designed to connect to one another automatically, provided
they are correctly configured. They only need to be part of a closed network. Proceed as
follows to install the units:
1. Connect the units to the closed network using Ethernet cables.
2. Connect them to the power supply.
Connecting
There are three options for establishing a connection between a sender and a compatible
receiver in a closed network: an alarm, a terminal program, or Internet Explorer.
Connecting on alarm
With the appropriate configuration, a connection between a sender and a receiver is made
automatically when an alarm is triggered (see Section 4.38 Alarm Connections, page 65). After
a short time the live video image from the sender appears on the connected monitor. This
option can also be used to connect a sender and a compatible receiver using a switch
connected to the alarm input. You do not need a computer to make the connection in this
case.
Connecting with a terminal program
Various requirements must be met in order to operate with a terminal program (see
Section 6.11 Communication with terminal program, page 95).
1. Start the terminal program and enter the command 4 in the main menu to switch to the
Rcp+ menu.
2. Enter the command c in the Rcp+ menu to change the remote IP address, then enter the
IP address of the unit you wish to connect to.
3. In the Rcp+ menu, enter command 1 to activate automatic connection.
Closing the connection with a terminal program
1. Start the terminal program and enter the command 4 in the main menu to switch to the
Rcp+ menu.
2. In the Rcp+ menu, enter command 3 to deactivate automatic connection.
NOTICE!
The sender and receiver must be located in the same subnet to establish a hardware
connection.
NOTICE!
Make sure that the units are configured for the network environment and that the correct IP
address for the remote location to be contacted in the event of an alarm is set on the Alarm
Connections configuration page (see Section 4.38 Alarm Connections, page 65).
NOTICE!
Connecting with a Web browser is described in the manual of the relevant unit that is to be
used as the receiver, for example VIP XD.

4.1 Connecting
A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or higher) can receive live images
from the encoder, control cameras or other peripherals and replay stored video sequences.
Before you can operate the camera via the encoder, you must configure the camera.
The integrated HTTP server in the encoder provides you with the option to configure the unit
over the network with a Web browser. This option is an alternative to configuration using the
Configuration Manager application (version 4.21 or higher) and is considerably richer in
function and more convenient than configuration using the terminal program.
4.1.1 System Requirements
– Computer with Windows XP or Windows 7 operating system
– Network access (Intranet or Internet)
– Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or higher)
– Screen resolution at least 1,024 × 768 pixels
– 16- or 32-bit color depth
– Installed Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
4.1.2 Additional Operational Requirements
– Instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Receiver software (such as Bosch Video Management System (version 3.0 or higher)) OR
H.264-compatible hardware decoder from Bosch Security Systems (such as VIP XD HD)
as a receiver and connected video monitor
– For playing back recordings: connection to storage medium [a different encoder from the
one built-in to the power supply enclosure]
4.1.3 Installing MPEG ActiveX
Suitable MPEG ActiveX software must be installed on the computer to allow the live video
images to be played back. If necessary, you can install the program from the product CD
supplied.
1. Insert the product CD into the computer's CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not start
automatically, open the root directory of the CD in Windows Explorer and double-click
MPEGAx.exe.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4.1.4 Establishing the Connection
Before you can operate the encoder within your network, it must have a valid IP address for
your network and a compatible subnet mask.
The following default address is preset at the factory: 192.168.0.1
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the encoder as the URL.
NOTICE!
Also note the information in the System Requirements document on the product CD
supplied. If necessary, you can install the required programs and controls from the product
CD supplied.
The Web browser must be configured to enable Cookies to be set from the IP address of the
unit.
In Windows 7, deactivate protected mode on the Security tab under Internet Options.
You can find notes on using Microsoft Internet Explorer in the online Help in Internet Explorer.

3. During initial installation, confirm the security questions that appear. The connection is
established and after a short time you will see the LIVEPAGE with the video image.
Maximum number of connections
If you do not connect, the unit may have reached its maximum number of connections.
Depending on the unit and network configuration, each encoder can have up to 25 Web
browser connections or up to 50 connections via Bosch Video Management System.
Protected Encoder
If the encoder is password protected against unauthorized access, the Web browser displays
a corresponding message and prompts you to enter the password when you attempt to
access protected areas.
1. Enter the user name and associated password in the corresponding text fields.
2. Click OK. If the password is entered correctly, the Web browser displays the page that
was called up.
Protected network
If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights (802.1x
authentication), the encoder must be configured accordingly, otherwise no communication is
possible.
To configure the unit, you must connect the encoder directly to a computer using a network
cable. This is because communication via the network is not enabled until the Identity and
Password parameters have been set and successfully authenticated (see
Section Authentication, page 76).
NOTICE!
The encoder offers the option to limit the extent of access using various authorization levels
(see Section 4.10 Password, page 37).

4.2 Configuration menu
The SETTINGS page provides access to the configuration menu, which contains all the unit's
parameters arranged in groups. You can view the current settings by opening one of the
configuration screens. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a
predefined value from a list field.
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 seven 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 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 altered in Advanced Mode.
All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the
configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.
All settings are backed up in the encoder memory so they are not lost even if the power fails.
The exception is the time settings, which are lost after 72 hours without power if no central
time server is selected (see Section 4.4 Basic Mode: Date/Time, page 32).
Starting configuration
Click the SETTINGS link in the upper section of the window. The Web browser opens a
new page with the configuration menu.
CAUTION!
The settings in the Advanced Mode should only be processed or modified by expert users or
system support personnel.
