lengthy exposures are unrealistic.” Since there is no aversion
response for IR, avoid eye exposure. Risk Group 2 sources do
not pose an infrared radiation hazard for the eye within 10 s at
distances beyond 200 mm or 8 inches. The Exposure Hazard
Value for the product (ratio of the Exposure level to the
Exposure limit) is up to 10 at a test distance of 200 mm (8
inches). The Hazard Distance (distance beyond which the
product falls into the exempt/safe group) is at most 640 mm
(25 inches). Note that typical use cases are well beyond the
Hazard Distance.When servicing the unit, physically disconnect
the power supply to avoid possible IR exposure to the eyes. If
physical disconnection is not possible, use appropriate
shielding to block the LED panel or use eye protection with a
transmission of 10% or less at a wavelength of 850 nm.

6 Manual Camera Settings

Most camera settings can be adjusted remotely via CTFID
software (for analog models; refer to the Configuration Tool for
Imaging Devices User Manual at www.boschsecurity.com) or via
the web browser interface (for IP models). Some settings--lens
focus, focal length, pan, tilt, LED tilt, and the width of the
illumination beam--require manual adjustment using controls at
the back of or in the front of the camera.

6.1 Adjusting Focus, Focal Length, Pan, and
Tilt

To adjust the focal length and focus, use the controls located
on the access panel at the rear of the camera housing. An
access panel also contains the camera keypad buttons that you

6.2 Adjusting Angle of LED Tilt and Width of
Illumination Beam

Adjust the angle of LED tilt and the width of the illumination
beam on the front of the camera. See the figures in the
subchapters below to identify the locations for each
adjustment.

6.2.1 Adjusting the Angle of LED Tilt

NOTICE!

Do not discard the additional LED tilt set screw supplied in the
accessory kit! It is required to adjust the angle of LED tilt.

Adjust the angle of LED tilt (up or down) to maximize coverage
of the infrared light over the field of view. As a general
guideline, when the camera is pointed down at a steeper angle
(usually at higher installation heights or for applications of
shorter ranges), the angle of LED tilt should be raised above the
axis of the camera to reduce the potential of overexposure in
the foreground.

1. Select the appropriate set screw for adjusting the angle of

LED tilt, based on how far you want the camera to “see.”
Use the 31 mm screw for general area surveillance /
targets closer to the camera. Use the 25 mm screw for
other use cases such as monitoring a perimeter.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09

2. Insert the set screw in the screw slot (item 1, Figure 6.6)
between the camera window and the LED window in the
front of the camera.

Figure 6.6 Slot for set screw for adjusting angle of LED tilt

3. Insert the screw as far as possible into the slot. The screw
must be in the slot completely to make the adjustment.

WARNING!

The LED Tilt Set screw must be inserted completely so that the
integrated O-ring makes a seal with the camera housing. If the
screw is not completely inserted, the water tightness of the
camera will be compromised.

6.2.2 Adjusting the Illumination Beam Width

Adjust the infrared beam width by adding or removing the 3D
diffuser. Each camera ships with a 3D diffuser plate (already
installed in the camera) and the 3D diffuser (not installed in the
camera). The diffuser plate holds the 3D diffuser in place in the
camera. The 3D diffuser is recommended for wider field of view
applications.
– With the 3D diffuser, a focal length of 6 mm provides a

horizontal field of view (FOV) of 42° to match the
illumination pattern; the resulting beam angle is 42° (H) x
20° (V).

– Without the 3D diffuser, a focal length of 27 mm (or

greater) provides a horizontal field of view (FOV) of 10° (or
less) to match the illumination pattern; the resulting beam
angle is 10° (H) x 10° (V).

F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09 User Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Dinion IP Infrared Imager Manual Camera Settings | en 35

To install the 3D diffuser:

1. Unscrew the four (4) captive screws beneath the
illuminator in the front of the unit (item 2, Figure 6.7).

Figure 6.7 3D Diffuser

2. Using the captive screws, remove the 3D diffuser plate.

3. Insert the 3D diffuser into the slit in the gasket on the 3D
diffuser plate.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the diffuser is inserted into the
camera housing with the sticker side facing the LED array.
It is important that the diffuser is oriented with the sticker
side surface facing the LED array or IR performance will be
lost.

4. Install the diffuser and plate assembly into the camera
housing to secure and seal the unit.

To remove the 3D diffuser:

1. Remove the 3D diffuser and plate assembly as when
installing the 3D diffuser.

2. Remove the 3D diffuser from the diffuser plate.

3. Install the diffuser plate into the camera housing to secure
and seal the unit.

Dinion IP Infrared Imager Configuration via IP, Basic Mode | en 43

8 Configuration via IP, Basic Mode

8.1 Basic Mode: Device Access

Camera name

You can give the camera a name to make it easier to identify.
The name makes the task of administering multiple units in
larger video monitoring systems easier, (for example, using the
VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System programs).
The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit
(for example, in the event of an alarm). For this reason, enter a
name that makes it as easy as possible to quickly identify the
location.

CAUTION!

Do not use any special characters (for example, &) in the name.
Special characters are not supported by the internal recording
management system and may therefore result in the Player or
Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

Password

The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent
unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different
authorization levels to limit access.
The NEI-30 camera operates with three authorization levels:
service, user and live.
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the
correct password, you can access all the functions of the
camera and change all configuration settings.
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and
also control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the
configuration.
The lowest authorization level is live. 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 unit is not
password protected.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09

44 en | Configuration via IP, Basic Mode Dinion IP Infrared Imager

Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level. The
maximum text length is 19 characters.

NOTICE!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher
authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live
password is assigned, for example, you must also set a service
and a user password. When assigning passwords, you should
therefore always start from the highest authorization level,

service, and use different passwords.

Confirm password

In each case, enter the new password a second time to
eliminate typing mistakes.

NOTICE!

A new password is saved only when you click the Set button.
You should therefore click the Set button immediately after
entering and confirming a password.

8.2 Basic Mode: Date/Time

Device date/Device time/Device time zone

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. If necessary, you can synchronize the unit with your
computer's system settings.
 Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's

system time to the camera.

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 RFC 868.

8.3 Basic Mode: Network

The settings on this page are used to integrate the camera into
an existing network.
Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this
case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.

1. Make the desired changes.

2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The camera is rebooted
and the changed settings are activated.

CAUTION!

If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address,
the camera is only available under the new addresses after the
reboot.

DHCP

If your network uses a DHCP server for the dynamic assignment
of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses
automatically assigned to the camera.
Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System,
Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for
the unique assignment of the unit. If you use 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.

9.1.1 Identification

Camera ID

Each NEI-30 camera should be assigned a unique identifier that
you can enter here as an additional means of identification.

Camera Name

You can give the camera a name to make it easier to identify the
remote camera location (for example, in the event of an alarm).
It will be displayed in the video screen if configured to do so.
The camera name makes the task of administering cameras in
larger video monitoring systems easier, for example using the
VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System programs.
Enter a unique, unambiguous name for the camera in this field.
You can use both lines for this.

CAUTION!

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name.
Special characters are not supported by the system's internal
recording management and may therefore result in the Player or
Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

You can use the second line for entering additional characters;
these can be selected from a table.

1. Click the icon next to the second line. A new window with
the character map opens.

2. Click the required character. The character is inserted into
the Result field.

3. In the character map, click the << and >> icons to move
between the different pages of the table, or select a page
from the list field.

4. Click the < icon to the right of the Result field to delete the

Dinion IP Infrared Imager Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 49

Initiator extension

You can attach your own text to the initiator name of the
camera to make the unit easier to identify 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.

9.1.2 Password

The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent
unauthorized access to the unit. Use different authorization
levels to limit access.

NOTICE!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher
authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live
password is assigned, for example, a service and a user
password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you
should therefore always start from the highest authorization
level, service, and use different passwords.

Password

The NEI-30 camera operates with three authorization levels:
service, user and live.
The highest authorization level is service. After entering the
correct password, you can access all the functions of the
camera and change all configuration settings.
With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and
also control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the
configuration.
The lowest authorization level is live. 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 unit is not
password-protected.
Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here.
The maximum text length is 19 characters.

entering and confirming a password.

9.1.3 Date/Time

Date format

Select your 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 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.

Device time zone

Select the time zone in which your system is located.

Daylight saving time

The internal clock can switch automatically between normal

CAUTION!

The profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of
parameters that interact with one another. In general, it is best
to use the default profiles.
Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the
configuration options.
In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm
connections and automatic connections. Keep this fact in mind
when assigning the profile.

NOTICE!

All parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent
on one another. If you enter a setting that is outside the
permitted range for a particular parameter, the nearest
permitted value will be substituted when the settings are
saved.

Profile name

You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then
displayed in the list of available profiles in the Profile name
field.

Target bit rate

You can limit the data rate for the camera to optimize utilization
of the bandwidth in your network. The target data rate should
be set according to the desired picture quality for typical
scenes with no excessive motion.
For complex images or frequent changes of image content due
to frequent movements, this limit can be temporarily exceeded
up to the value you enter in the Maximum data rate field.

Maximum bit rate

This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any
circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the
I- and P-frames, this fact can result in individual images being
skipped.
The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the
value entered in the Target data rate field. If the value entered
here is too low, it will automatically be adjusted.

– 4CIF/D1

704 × 576/480 pixels
Use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P­frame quality to specific requirements, if necessary. The setting
is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).

GOP structure

Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures here.
Depending on whether you place greater priority on having the
lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little
bandwidth possible, you can choose from IP, IBP, and IBBP.

I-frame distance

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I­frames will be coded. 0 means auto mode, whereby the video
server inserts I-frames as necessary. An entry of 1 indicates that
I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 2 indicates
that only every second image is an I-frame, and 3 only every
third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.

I-frame quality

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I­frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality
to the settings for the P-frame video quality. Alternatively, you
can use the slide control to set a value between 9 and 51. The
value of 9 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a
lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the
maximum data rate. The value of 51 results in a very high
refresh rate and lower image quality.

Standard recording

Here you can select the mode for standard recordings.
If you select Continuous, the recording proceeds continuously.
If the maximum memory capacity is reached, older recordings
will automatically be overwritten. If you select the Pre-alarm
option, the device uses a special recording mode for optimal
usage of storage capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm
recording begins, a recording is continuously made on one
segment, which is the size of a complete alarm sequence (pre­and post-alarm time).
This segment functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and
is overwritten until an alarm is actually triggered. Then,
recording occurs on the segment only for the duration of the
preset post-alarm time and a new segment is subsequently
used in the same manner.
If you select Off, no automatic recording takes place.

CAUTION!

You can specify limitations for overwriting older recordings in
Continuous mode by configuring the retention time (see

and enter the new profile name in the field.

2. Click the icon again. The new profile name is saved.

Alarm status

The alarm status is displayed here for information purposes.
This means that you can check the effects of your settings
immediately.

Aggregation time(s)

You can set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds if
necessary. The aggregation time always starts when an alarm
event occurs. It extends the alarm event by the value set. This
prevents alarm events that occur in quick succession from
triggering several alarms and successive events in a rapid
sequence. No further alarm is triggered during the aggregation
time. The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts
once the aggregation time has expired (see
Section 9.4.2 Recording Profiles, page 69).

Analysis type

Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only
MOTION+ is available – this offers a motion detector and
essential recognition of tampering.

F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09 User Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Dinion IP Infrared Imager Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 79

NOTICE!

Additional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions
such as IVMD and IVA are available from Bosch Security
Systems, inc.
If you select one of these algorithms, you can set the
corresponding parameters here directly. You can find
information on this in the relevant documents on the product
CD supplied.

Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless
this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type
selected and the relevant configuration, additional information
overlays the video image in the preview window next to the
parameter settings. With the MOTION+ analysis type, for
example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded will be
marked with rectangles.

NOTICE!

On the LIVEPAGE Functions page, you can also enable
additional information overlays for the LIVEPAGE (see
Section 9.2.2 LIVEPAGE Functions, page 54).

Motion detector (MOTION+ only)

For the detector to function, the following conditions must be
met:
– Analysis type must be activated.
– At least one sensor field must be activated.
– The individual parameters must be configured to suit the

operating environment and the desired responses.

–The Sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09

80 en | Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode Dinion IP Infrared Imager

CAUTION!

Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on
or off or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement
on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the
motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests
at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video
sensor is operating as intended.
For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas
during the day and at night.

Sensitivity (MOTION+ only)

The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for
the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject.
The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video
image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value
that must be selected.

Minimum object size (MOTION+ only)

You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving
object must cover to generate an alarm. This is to prevent
objects that are too small from triggering an alarm.
A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds
to four sensor fields.

Debounce time 1 s (MOTION+ only)

Select this checkbox to prevent very brief alarm events from
triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is
activated, an alarm event must last at least 1 second to trigger
an alarm.

Select Area (MOTION+ only)

The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector
can be selected. The video image is subdivided into 858 square
fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated
individually. If you want to exclude particular regions of the
camera's field of view from monitoring due to continuous
movement (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields can
be deactivated.

1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new
window will open.

the window without saving the changes.

Tamper detection

You can reveal the tampering of cameras and video cables by
means of various options. Run a series of tests at different
times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is
operating as intended.

NOTICE!

The options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed
cameras. Dome cameras or other motorized cameras cannot be
protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself
causes changes in the video image that are too great.

Sensitivity

NOTICE!

This and the following parameter are only accessible if the
Reference check checkbox is activated.

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted
for the environmental conditions to which the camera is
subject.
The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference
image and the current video image. The darker the observation
area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Trigger delay(s)

You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered
after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if
the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User Manual F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09

82 en | Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode Dinion IP Infrared Imager

been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not
triggered. This allows you to avoid false alarms triggered by
short-term changes (for example, cleaning activities in the
direct field of vision of the camera).
Global change [slide control]
You can set how large the global change in the video image
must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is
independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area.
Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger
an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur
simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an
alarm.
This option allows you to detect, independently of motion
alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera
resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for instance.

Global change [checkbox]

Activate this function if the global change, as set with the

Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.
Scene too bright

Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to
extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the
lens) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the

example an ATM or POS device, and store it as metadata.
Select the port for TCP communication. Select Off to deactivate
the TCP metadata function.

Sender IP address

Enter the IP address of the TCP metadata sender here.

9.7.3 Multicast

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a
single receiver (unicast), the camera can enable multiple
receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder
simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream
itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi­unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where
the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple
receivers in a defined group (Multicast). You can enter a

F.01U.263.416 | 3.1 | 2012.09 User Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Dinion IP Infrared Imager Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 93

dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can
switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.

NOTICE!

Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that
uses the UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP
protocols. Other group management protocols are not
supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast
connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for
multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network.
The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet
Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is
from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams.
However, it will be necessary to use a different port in each
case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously
using the same port and multicast address.

NOTICE!

The settings must be made individually for each stream.

Enable

To enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers, you
need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the
box. You can then enter the multicast address.

Multicast Address

Enter a valid multicast address for each stream to be operated
in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the
network).
With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream
operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of data streams in the
unit). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to
five simultaneously-connected receivers.

NOTICE!

Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can
lead to impairment of the image quality under certain
circumstances.

Port

Assign a different port to each data stream if there are
simultaneous data streams at the same multicast address.
Enter the port address of the required stream.

Streaming

Select this checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for
the relevant stream. An enabled stream is indicated by a check
mark. The device even streams multicast data if no connection
