12 en | Browser connection Camera Browser Interface
1 Browser connection
A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer is used to receive
live images from the camera, control the camera, and replay
stored sequences. The camera is configured over the network
using the browser.
1.1 System requirements
– Network access (Intranet or Internet)
– Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9
– Screen resolution at least 1024 × 768 pixels
– 16- or 32-bit color depth
– Sun JVM installed
The Web browser must be configured to enable Cookies from
the IP address of the unit.
In Windows Vista, deactivate protected mode on the Security
tab under Internet Options.
To play back live video images, an appropriate ActiveX must be
installed on the computer. If necessary, install the Bosch Video
Client.
AM18-Q0635 | v5.6 | 2013.01 Software manual Bosch Security Systems
Camera Browser Interface Browser connection | en 13
1.2 Establishing the connection
The camera 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 and so your DHCP server assigns an
IP address. With no DHCP server the default address is
192.168.0.1
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the camera as the URL.
3. During initial installation, confirm any security questions
that appear.
Note:
If you do not connect, the camera may have reached its
maximum number of connections. Depending on the device and
network configuration, each camera can have up to 25 web
browser connections, or up to 50 connections via Bosch Video
Client or Bosch Video Management System.
1.2.1 Password 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.
1. Enter the user name and the associated password in the
appropriate fields.
2. Click OK. If the password is correct, the desired page is
displayed.
1.3 Protected network
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x
authentication), the camera must be configured first. To
configure the camera, connect it directly to a computer using a
network cable and configure the two parameters, Identity and
Password. Only after these have been configured can
communication with the camera via the network occur.

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 only 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 changed in this mode.

Navigation
To view the current settings:
1. Click the Basic Mode menu or the Advanced Mode menu
to expand it.
2. For the Advanced Mode menu, click a menu sub-heading
to expand it.
3. Click a sub-menu. The corresponding page is opened.
Making Changes
You can change the settings by entering new values or by
selecting a predefined value from a list field.
Note:
When entering names do not use any special characters, for
example &. Special characters are not supported by the internal
recording management system.
Saving changes
After making changes in a window, click Set to send the new
settings to the device and save them there.
Clicking Set saves only the settings in the current window.
Changes in any other windows are ignored.
Click SETTINGS in the applications title bar to close the
window without saving the changes made.
Note:
All settings are backed up in the device memory so they are not
lost even if the power fails. The exception is the time settings,
which are lost after 1 hour without power if no central time
server is selected.

5.1 Device Access
5.1.1 Naming
Enter a unique name to assist in identification. This name
simplifies the management of multiple devices in more
extensive systems.
The name is used for remote identification, for example, in the
event of an alarm. Choose a name that makes it as easy as
possible to identify the location unambiguously.
5.1.2 Password
A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. 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 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.
You can define and change a password for each authorization
level if you are logged in as service or if the camera is not
password protected.
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 or change a separate password for each level. Enter the
password (19 characters maximum) 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 assigning a password at another level.

5.2 Date/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. Device time, date and time zone are shown.
Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your
computer to the device.
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 device polls the time signal automatically once every
minute.
Enter the IP address of a time server.
Time server type
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time
server. It is recommended that you select the SNTP server
protocol. This protocol provides high accuracy and is required
for special applications and future function extensions.
Select Time server if the server uses the RFC 868 protocol.
Note:
It is important that the date/time is correct for recording. An
incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct recording.

5.3 Network
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 accessible
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.
For certain 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).
