4.1

Configuration via IP, Basic Mode

All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the
configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.

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
Bosch Video Management Systems programs.
The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit, in the event of an alarm for
example. 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 system's internal recording management and may

therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

Password

An AUTODOME 7000 Series camera is generally protected by a password to prevent
unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.
The 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.

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.

you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.

Notice!

Ensure that recording is stopped before synching to the PC.

4 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.
4 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.

4.3

DHCP

If a DHCP server is employed in the network 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 Systems, 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.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for camera in this field. The IP address must be valid for the
network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.

Gateway address

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter
the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box as 0.0.0.0.

Identification

Camera name

The camera name makes it easier to identify the remote camera location, in the event of an
alarm for example. 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 BVC or Bosch Video Management Systems Programs.
Enter a unique, unambiguous name for the camera in this field. You can use both lines for this.
Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not
supported by the system's internal management.
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 is opened.

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 last character, or click the X
icon to delete all characters.

5. Now click the OK button to apply the selected characters to the second line of the

Camera 1 parameters. The window will close.

Camera ID

Each device should be assigned a unique identifier that can be entered here as an additional
means of identification.

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

The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit.
You can 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 camera operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.

EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 19

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.

Confirm password

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

Notice!

A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the

Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.

5.4

Date/Time

Date format

Select your required date format.

Device date/Device time

Notice!

Ensure that recording is stopped before synching to the PC.

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.

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 your 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 up to the year 2018. You can use
these data or create alternative time saving data if required.

Notice!

If you do not create a table, there will be no automatic switching. When changing and clearing

individual entries, remember that two entries are usually related to each other and dependent

on one another (switching to summer time and back to normal time).

1. First check whether the correct time zone is selected. If it is not correct, select the
appropriate time zone for the system, and click the Set button.

4. Click the Generate button to generate data from the database in the unit and enter it into
the table.

5. Make changes by clicking an entry in the table. The entry is selected.

6. Clicking the Delete button will remove the entry from the table.

7. Select other values from the list fields below the table to change the entry. Changes are
made immediately.

8. If there are empty lines at the bottom of the table, for example after deletions, you can
add new data by marking the row and selecting required values from the list fields.

9. Now click the OK button to save and activate the table.

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.

Encoder Profile

Figure 5.1: Advanced Mode>Camera>Encoder Profile>Profile 1 [HD models only]

2015.02 | 1.0 | Software Manual Bosch Security Systems

For the video signal encoding, you can select a code algorithm and you can change the presets
for the profiles.
You can adapt the video data transmission to the operating environment (for example network
structure, bandwidth, data load). To this end, the camera simultaneously generates two data
streams (Dual Streaming), which compression settings you can select individually, for example
one setting for transmissions to the Internet and one for LAN connections.
Pre-programmed profiles are available, each giving priority to different perspectives.
You can change individual parameter values of a profile and you can also change the name.
You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs.

Caution!

The profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of parameters that interact with

one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles.

Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the configuration options.

EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 27

Notice!

In the default setting, Stream 1 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

If required, enter a new name for the profile.

Target bit rate

To optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the device. 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 temporarily be exceeded up to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field.

Maximum bit rate

This maximum bit 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 bit

rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it will be adjusted automatically.

Encoding interval

This parameter determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. For
example, entering or selecting 4 means that only every fourth image is encoded, while the
following there are skipped, which can be particularly advantageous for networks with low
bandwidths. The image rate in (images per second (ips) appears next to the text field or
slider.

Video resolution

Select the desired resolution for the video image.
For standard definition only, options are:
– 240p
– 480p
– 144p
– 288p
– 432p (default)

Expert Settings

If necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to
specific requirements. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).

GOP structure

Select the structure that you require for the group of pictures, depending on whether you
place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little
bandwidth as possible.

2015.02 | 1.0 | Software Manual Bosch Security Systems

EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 29

Options are IP, IBP, and IBBP.
GOP is not available for megapixel cameras.

I-frame distance

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. Auto means
auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. Values range from 3 to 60.
An entry of 3 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 4 indicates that
only every fourth image is an I-frame, and so on; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.
Note that the values supported depend on the GOP structure setting. For example, only even
values are supported with IBP; if you have selected IBBP, only 3 or multiples of 3 are
supported.

Min. P-frame QP

This parameter allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frame and to define the lower
limit for the quantization of the P-frames, and thus the maximum achievable quality of the P­frames. In the H.264-protocol, the Quantization Parameter (QP) specifies the degree of
compression and thus the image quality for every frame. The lower the quantization of the P­frame (QP value), the higher the encoding quality (and thus the best image quality) and the
lower the frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate under
network settings. A higher quantization value results in low image quality and lower network
load. Typical QP values are between 18 and 30.
The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video
quality.

I/P-frame delta QP

This parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame quantization (QP) to the P-frame quantization
(QP). For example, you can set a lower value for I-frames by moving the slide control to a
negative value. Thus, the quality of the I-frames relative to the P-frames is improved. The total
data load will increase, but only by the portion of I-frames. The basic setting Auto
automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus).
To obtain the highest quality at the lowest bandwidth, even in the case of increased
movement in the picture, configure the quality settings as follows:

1. Observe the coverage area during normal movement in the preview images.

2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at which the image quality still
meets your needs.

3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible value. This is how to save
bandwidth and memory in normal scenes. The image quality is retained even in the case
of increased movement since the bandwidth is then filled up to the value that is entered
under Maximum bit rate.

VCA Profiles

You can configure two profiles with different VCA configurations. You can save profiles on your
computer's hard drive and load saved profiles from there. This can be useful if you want to
test a number of different configurations. Save a functioning configuration and test new
settings. You can use the saved configuration to restore the original settings at any time.

Notice!

If computing power becomes short, the highest priority is always the live images and

recordings. This can lead to impairment of the video content analysis. You should therefore

observe the processor load and optimize the encoder settings or the video content analysis

settings as necessary.

1. Select a VCA profile and enter the required settings.

2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.

3. Click the Save... button to save the profile settings to another file. A new window is
opened, in which you can specify where you want to save the file and what name you
want to save it under.

4. Click the Load... button to load a saved profile. A new window opens in which you can
select the profile file and specify where to save the file.

VCA configuration

Select one of the profiles here to activate it or edit it.
You can rename the profile.

1. To rename the file, click the icon to the right of the list field and enter the new profile
name in the field.

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

Preset

Select Off or Test.

Alarm status

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

Aggregation times

Use the slider (from 0 (zero) to 20 (0 is the default) to select the aggregation times.

Analysis type

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

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. Options are:
MOTION+, IVA 5.6, IVA 5.6 Flow. With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor
fields in which motion is recorded will be marked with rectangles.

Notice!

On the LIVE Functions page, you can also enable additional information overlays for the LIVE

page (see LIVE Functions, page 23).

Motion detector (MOTION+ only)

For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:
– Analysis 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.

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)

The debounce time is intended 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 one
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 wish 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.
4 Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.

1. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).

2. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.

Sensitivity

Notice!

This and the following parameter are only accessible if the reference check 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 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

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

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
scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too dark

Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying
paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for
recognition.

Scene too noisy

Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result
of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines), as an example, should trigger
an alarm.

Reference Check

You can save a reference image that is continuously compared with the current video image. If
the current video image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is
triggered. This allows you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for
example if the camera is turned.

1. Click Reference to save the currently visible video image as a reference.

2. Click Select Area and select the areas in the reference image that are to be monitored.

3. Check the box Reference check to activate on-going matching. The stored reference
image is displayed in black and white below the current video image, and the selected
areas are marked in yellow.

EXTEGRA IP 9000 FX Configuration via IP, Advanced Mode | en 47

4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check
once again.

Disappearing edges

The area selected in the reference image should contain a prominent structure. If this
structure is concealed or moved, the reference check triggers an alarm. If the selected area is
too homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure would not trigger an alarm, then
an alarm is triggered immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.

Appearing edges

Select this option if the selected area of the reference image includes a largely homogenous
surface. If structures appear in this area, then an alarm is triggered.

Select Area

You can select the image areas in the reference image that are to be monitored. The video
image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or
deactivated individually.

Notice!

Select only those areas for reference monitoring in which no movement takes place and that

are always evenly lit, as false alarms could otherwise be triggered.

Alarm Rules

The camera features an alarm rule engine. In its simplest form, an alarm rule can define which
input(s) activate which output(s). Basically, an alarm rule allows you to customize the camera
to respond automatically to different alarm inputs.
To configure an alarm rule specify one input from a physical connection, a motion detection
trigger, or from a connection to the camera’s LIVE page. The physical input connection can be
activated by dry contact devices such as pressure pads, door contacts, and similar devices.
Next, specify up to two (2) rule outputs, or the camera’s response to the input. Outputs
include a physical alarm relay, an AUX command, or a preposition scene.

1. Click the Enabled check box to activate the alarm.

2. Choose one of the following alarm Inputs:
Local Input 1: a physical alarm connection.
Local Input 2: a physical alarm connection.

2. Click the checkboxes to select the required traps. All the checked traps will be sent.

3. Click Set to accept the selection.

UPnP

You can activate the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) function. If the function is turned on, the
unit responds to requests from the network and is automatically registered on the requesting
computers as a new network device. For example, access to the unit can then be made using
Windows Explorer without knowledge of the IP address of the unit.

Notice!

To use the UPnP function on a computer, both the Universal Plug and Play Device Host and

SSDP Discovery Service must be active in Windows XP and Windows 7.

Quality of service

The camera offers Quality of Service (QoS) configuration options to ensure fast network
response to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is the set of techniques to manage
network resources. QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet
loss parameters to guarantee the ability of a network to deliver predictable results. QoS
identifies the type of data in a data packet and divides the packets into traffic classes that can
be prioritized for forwarding.
Consult with your network administrator for assistance configuring the Audio, Video, Control,
and the Alarm video settings, and to select the appropriate Post-alarm time.
The priority of the different data channels can be set by defining the DiffServ Code Point

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 (Multi-unicast) 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 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 here.

Streaming

Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream. An enabled
stream is indicated by a check mark.

Multicast packet TTL

You can enter a value to specify how long the multicast data packets are active on the
network. This value must be greater than one if multicast is to be run via a router.

Maintenance

Upgrading your camera

The camera allows an operator to update the camera firmware via the TCP/IP network. The
Maintenance page allows updates of the firmware.
For the latest firmware, go to www.boschsecurity.com, navigate to the product page for your
camera, and then download the software from the Software tab.
The preferred method to update your camera is through a direct connection between the
camera and a PC. This method entails connecting the Ethernet cable from the camera directly
to the Ethernet port of a PC.
If the direct-connect method is not practical, you can also update the camera through a Local
Area Network (LAN). You cannot, however, update the camera through a Wide Area Network
(WAN) or via the Internet.

Update server

Enter the path of the server on which to perform the update. Click Check to verify the path.

monitor the transfer.

4. Click OK to the warning message to continue the firmware upload, or Cancel to stop the
upload.
The page displays a progress bar as the firmware is uploaded.
Note: Once the progress bar reaches 100%, the system opens the reset page. Allow the
reset page to complete its action.

Once the upload is complete, the new configuration is activated. The time remaining is shown
by the message going to reset Reconnecting in ... seconds. The unit reboots automatically
once the upload has successfully completed.

Download

1. Click the Download button. A dialog box opens.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to save the current settings.

Configuration

You can save configuration data for the camera on a computer and then load saved
configuration data from a computer to the unit.

SSL certificate

To be able to work with an SSL encrypted data connection, both ends of a connection must
hold the relevant certificates. You can upload the SSL certificate, comprising one or multiple
files, onto the camera.
If you wish to upload multiple files onto camera, you must select them consecutively.

1. Enter the full path of the file to upload or click Browse to select the required file.

2. Next, click Upload to begin transferring the file to the unit.

3. Once all files have been successfully uploaded, the unit must be rebooted. In the address
bar of your browser, enter /reset after the IP address of camera (for example

192.168.0.10/reset).

The new SSL certificate is valid.
