1.3FCC & ICES compliance
FCC & ICES Information
(U.S.A. and Canadian Models Only)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
–reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
–increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
–connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected;
–consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Intentional or unintentional modifications, not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance, shall not be made. Any such modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for corrective action.
The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

Informations FCC et ICES
(modèles utilisés aux États-Unis et au Canada uniquement)
Suite à différents tests, cet appareil s'est révélé conforme aux exigences imposées aux appareils numériques de classe B, en vertu de la section 15 du règlement de la Commission fédérale des communications des États-Unis (FCC), et en vertu de la norme ICES-003 d'Industrie Canada. Ces exigences visent à fournir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles lorsque l'appareil est utilisé dans le cadre d'une installation résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et émet de l'énergie de radiofréquences et peut, en cas d'installation ou d'utilisation non conforme aux instructions, engendrer des interférences nuisibles au niveau des radiocommunications. Toutefois, rien ne garantit l'absence d'interférences dans une installation particulière. Il est possible de déterminer la production d'interférences en mettant l'appareil successivement hors et sous tension, tout en contrôlant la réception radio ou télévision. L'utilisateur peut parvenir à éliminer les interférences éventuelles en prenant une ou plusieurs des mesures suivantes:
–Modifier l'orientation ou l'emplacement de l'antenne réceptrice;
–Éloigner l'appareil du récepteur;
–Brancher l'appareil sur une prise située sur un circuit différent de celui du récepteur;
–Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien qualifié en radio/ télévision pour obtenir de l'aide.
Toute modification apportée au produit, non expressément approuvée par la partie responsable de l'appareil, est strictement interdite. Une telle modification est susceptible d'entraîner la révocation du droit d'utilisation de l'appareil. La brochure suivante, publiée par la Commission fédérale des
communications (FCC), peut s'avérer utile : How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. Cette brochure est disponible auprès du U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, États-Unis, sous la référence n° 004- 000-00345-4.

Note:
If the connection is not established, the maximum number of possible connections may already have been reached. Depending on the device and network configuration, up to 25 web browsers, or 50 VIDOS or Bosch VMS connections are supported.
4.2.1Password protection in camera
A camera offers the option of limiting access across various authorization levels. If the camera is password-protected, a message to enter the password appears.

the configuration menu is opened. All settings (except date/ time) are stored in the camera memory so that they are retained, even if the power is interrupted.
Changes that influence the fundamental functioning of the unit (for example, firmware updates) can only be made using the configuration menu.
The configuration menu tree allows all parameters of the unit to be configured. The configuration menu is divided into Basic Mode and Advanced Mode.
Refer to Section 5 Basic Mode, page 25 for more information on basic settings; refer to Section 6 Advanced Mode, page 30 for more information on advanced settings.
Note:
It is recommended that only expert users or system administrators use the Advanced Mode.

5.2Device Access
5.2.1Camera name
The camera can be assigned a name to assist in identifying it. The name simplifies the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems.
The camera name is used for remote identification, for example, in the event of an alarm. Enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to identify the location unambiguously.
5.2.2Password
A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. The device recognizes three authorization levels: service, user, and live.
–service is the highest authorization level. Entering the correct password gives access to all the functions of the camera and allows all configuration settings to be changed.
–user is the middle authorization level. This user can operate the device, play back recordings, and also control a camera but cannot change the configuration.
–live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.
Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed if all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. For example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user password should also be set. When assigning passwords, always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.
Password
Define and change a separate password for each level while logged in as service or if the device is not protected by a password. Enter the password for the selected level.

Confirm password
Re-enter the new password to ensure that there are no typing mistakes.
The new password is only saved after clicking Set. Therefore, click Set immediately after entering and confirming the password, even if you plan to assign a password at another level.
5.3Date/Time
Device date, time and zone
If there are multiple devices operating in the 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 devices are operating on the same time.
As the device time is controlled by the internal clock, it is not necessary to enter the day or date of the week. These are set automatically. The time zone in which the system is located is also set automatically.
1.Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your computer to the device.
Note:
It is important to ensure that the date/time is correct for recording. An incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct recording.

5.4Network
Use the settings on this page to integrate the device into a network. Some changes only take effect after a reboot. In this case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.
1.Make the desired changes.
2.Click Set and Reboot.
–The device is rebooted and the changed settings are activated. If the IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address is changed, then the device is only available under the new addresses after the reboot.
DHCP
If the network has a DHCP server for dynamic IP address allocation, set this parameter to On to activate the automatic acceptance of DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
Note:
Certain applications (for example, Bosch Video Management System) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the device. If using these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.
IP address
Enter the desired IP address for the camera. The IP address must be valid for the network.
Subnet mask
Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the set IP address.
Gateway address
Enter the IP address of the gateway to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet. Otherwise, this field can remain empty (0.0.0.0).
