	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.
4.1	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 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.

Note: 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 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.

4.4	Basic Mode: Encoder

5.2	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.)

5.3 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.

2015.02 | 1.0 |

Software Manual

Bosch Security Systems

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.
