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.

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.

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.

2. Click the Details button. A new window will open and you will see the empty table.
3. Select the region or the city that is closest to the system's location from the list field
below the table.
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.
