4.2 Establishing the connection

The camera must be assigned a valid IP address to operate on
your network. The default address pre-set at the factory is

192.168.0.1

1. Start the Web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the camera as the URL.

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 Bosch VMS connections are supported.

4.2.1 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.

4.3 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 for a Radius network, connect it directly
to a PC via a crossed 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.
