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.
System requirements
– Network access (Intranet or Internet)
– Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9 (32-bit)
– Screen resolution at least 1024 × 768 pixels
– 16- or 32-bit color depth
– 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
Bosch Video Client. This can be downloaded from the following
address:
http://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com/

Bosch Security Systems 2014.06 | v1.592 | AM18-Q0677
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 preset 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 unit as the URL.
3. During initial installation, confirm any security questions
that appear.

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
Bosch Video Management System.

Password protection in camera
A unit offers the option of limiting access across various
authorization levels. If the unit 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.
Protected network
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x
authentication), the unit must be configured first. To configure
the unit, 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
unit via the network occur.

Device Access
Name
Assign 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.
Password
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 always have to start from the highest
authorization level when assigning passwords.
You can define and change a password for each authorization
level if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password
protected.
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.
The maximum password text length is 19 characters and no
special characters are allowed.
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.

Password
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 always have to start from the highest
authorization level when assigning passwords.
You can define and change a password for each authorization
level if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password
protected.
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.
The maximum password text length is 19 characters and no
special characters are allowed.
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.

Date/Time
Date format
Select the required date format.
Device date / Device time
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 devices are operating on the
same time.
1. Enter the current date. Since the device time is controlled
by the internal clock, it is not necessary to enter the day of
the week – it is added automatically.
2. Enter the current time or click Sync to PC to apply the
system time from your computer to the device.
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 the 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.
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).
