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 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.
Note:
To see live images in your browser it might be necessary to download and install the MPEG-ActiveX from the Bosch download store.
Notice!
Megapixel cameras can generate high bitrate streams. Ensure
that your network can handle high volume traffic and that you
use a powerful, high performance computer.

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

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.

When accessing the unit with a browser, the local storage, processor and network status icons are shown in the upper right of the window. When a local storage card is available, the memory card icon changes color (green, orange or red) to indicate the local storage activity. If you hover over this icon with the mouse the storage activity is shown as a percentage. If you hover over the middle icon, the CPU load is shown. If you hover over the right-hand icon, the network load is shown. This information can help with problem solving or when fine tuning the unit. For example: – if the storage activity is too high, change the recording
profile, – if the CPU load is too big, change the VCA settings, – if the network load is too big, change the encoder profile to
reduce bitrate.

Identification

Naming

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.
ID
Each device should be assigned a unique identifier that can be entered here as an additional means of identification. Each video channel can be given a name. Click the + sign to add an extra line.

iSCSI Initiator extension

Add text to an initiator name to make identification easier 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.)

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.

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).
24 en | General settings
First, check the time zone setting. If it is not correct, select the appropriate time zone and click Set.
1. Click Details to edit the DST table.
2. Select the region or the city which is closest to the system's location from the list box below the table.
3. Click Generate to fill the table with the preset values from the unit.
4. Click one of the entries in the table to make changes. The entry is highlighted.
5. Click Delete to remove the entry from the table.
6. Choose other values from the list boxes under the table, to change the selected entry. Changes are immediate.
7. If there are empty lines at the bottom of the table, for example after deletions, add new data by marking the row and selecting values from the list boxes.
8. When finished, click OK to save and activate the table.

Time server IP address

The unit 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 to 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.

Logo stamping

To place a logo on the image, select and upload an uncompressed .bmp file with a maximum size of 128x128 pixels and 256 colors to the camera. Its position on the image can then be selected.

Time stamping

Select the position of the time and date overlay in the drop­down box.
