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.
1.1 Systems 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
– Windows7 or later operating system
– Network access
– Internet Explorer version 11 or later
– or –
Application software, for example, VideoSecurityClient, BoschVideoClient 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.
1.2 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 BoschVideoClient or Bosch Video Management
System.
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.
6 en | Browser connection MIC IP starlight 7000i
2017.11 | 1.2 | User Manual Bosch Security Systems

4 General
4.1 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.
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 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.
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.
MIC IP starlight 7000i General | en 15
Bosch Security Systems User Manual 2017.11 | 1.2 |
– 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.
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 for many years in advance. If the date,
time and zone have been set up correctly, a DST table is automatically created.
16 en | General MIC IP starlight 7000i
2017.11 | 1.2 | User Manual Bosch Security Systems
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 RFC868.

6.1.1 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.
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.
