1 Browser connection
A computer with a web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox) is used
to receive live images, control the unit, and replay stored sequences. The unit is configured
over the network using the browser.
1.1 System requirements
Our recommendations are:
– Computer with Dual core HyperThreading processor or better
– Graphic card with performance that matches or is better than the resolution of the
camera
– Windows10 or later
– Network access
– Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox
- or -
Application software, for example, VideoSecurityClient, BoschVideoClient or BVMS.
Note:
To see live images in your browser it might be necessary to download and install the MPEG-
ActiveX from the Bosch download store.
1.2 Establishing the connection
The unit must have a valid IP address and a compatible subnet mask to operate on your
network. By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On and so your DHCP server assigns an
IP address. With no DHCP server the default address is automatically assigned via link-local
address.
The Project Assistant app or Configuration Manager (version 7.50 or higher) can be used to
find the IP address. Download the software from https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com
:
1. Start the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the device as the URL.
3. During the initial installation, confirm any security questions that show.
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication), you must
configure the device before the device can communicate with the network.
To configure the device, connect it directly to a computer using a network cable and then set
the service-level password.
Note:
If you cannot connect, the unit may have reached its maximum number of connections.
Depending on the device and network configuration, each unit can have up to 50 web browser
connections, or up to 100 connections via BoschVideoClient or BVMS.
1.3 Password protection in camera
The device is password-protected. The first time that any user accesses the device, the device
will prompt the user to set a password at the service level.
The camera requires a strong password. Follow the prompts in the dialog box, which specifies
what is required. The system measures the strength of the password that you enter.
Make sure the password obeys these conditions:
– 8 to 19 characters in length
– Upper and lower case letters
– Minimum of 1 digit

User manual
Bosch Security Systems B.V.
– Minimum of 1 special character
These special characters are not allowed: '@', '&', '<', '>', ':', '+'
When you use Configuration Manager to access your device for the first time, you must set the
initial password of the device in Configuration Manager. The Users section (General > Unit
Access > Users) displays the message, "Before you can use this device you have to secure it
with an initial password."
Note: After you set the initial password, a "lock" icon appears next to the device name in the
Devices list in Configuration Manager.
You can also launch the device webpage directly. In the device webpage, an initial password
page appears, displaying input fields and a password strength gauge.
Enter the user name (“service”) and a password in the appropriate fields. Refer to the section
User Management for more information.
After a service-level password is set for the device, the device displays a dialog box that
prompts users to enter the user name (“service”) and the service-level password every time
that they access the device.
1. Fill in the fields User name and Password.
2. Click OK. If the password is correct, the desired page appears.
Note: New releases of software may require you to set a new and stronger password.

Select the preferred maximum frame rate based on the scene requirements.
For devices with HDRX:
The HDRX sensor modes provide much improved dynamic range over the 50/60fps high
frame rate modes, and provides maximum detail in all scenes, even in challenging scenes with
dark and bright areas in the same shot.
In the Enhance menu, the High dynamic range setting allows further options to optimize the
HDRX mode for fast motion or maximum dynamic range. The default HDRX - Motion
optimized setting ensures an improved dynamic range without the downsides of traditional
HDR which makes this default setting ideal for most scenes, even with fast motion.
The 50/60fps mode does not support HDRX and therefore has a limited dynamic range. This
mode can be used if very fast moving objects are captured in the scene for which 25/30fps
would result in missing objects or too few frames of the object of interest.
Note: As exposure time is not directly related to the device's frame rate, there is no need to
select a high frame rate to ensure images without motion blur. The 25/30fps HDR X mode is
just as capably as the 50/60fps high frame rate mode.
Image rotation
This device has four image rotation options:
– 0°
– 90° - upright

4.4.3 Positioning
The Positioning feature describes the location of the camera and the perspective in the
camera’s field of view.
Perspective information is essential to Video Analytics, as it enables the system to compensate
for the illusory smallness of distant objects.
Only through use of perspective information is it possible to distinguish objects such as
persons, bicycles, cars and trucks, and accurately compute their real size and speeds as they
move through 3D space.
However, to calculate perspective information accurately, the camera must be directed at a
single, flat horizontal plane. Multiple and inclined planes, hills, stairs can falsify perspective
information and produce incorrect object information such as size and speed.
Mounting position
The mounting position describes the perspective information that is also often called
calibration.
In general, the mounting position is determined by the parameters of the camera such as
height, roll angle, tilt angle, and focal length.
The height of the camera must always be entered manually. Whenever possible, roll angle and
tilt angle are provided by the camera itself. The focal length is provided, if the camera has a
built-in lens.
Tilt angle [°]
Enter the tilt angle if the value is not determined by the camera.
The tilt angle describes the angle between the horizontal and the camera.
A tilt angle of 0° means that the camera is mounted parallel to the ground.
A tilt angle of 90° means that the camera is mounted vertically in bird’s eye view perspective.
The flatter the tilt angle is set, the less accurate the estimate of object sizes and speeds will
be. The settings must be between 0° and 90°. Estimates are no longer possible when you have
reached 0°.
Roll angle [°]
Enter the roll angle if the value is not determined by the camera.
The roll angle describes the angle between the roll axis and the horizontal plane. The angle
can deviate from the horizontal by up to 45°.
Height [m]
Enter the height in meters of the position of the camera.
The height describes the vertical distance from the camera to the ground plane of the
captured image. Typically the elevation of the mounted camera above the ground.
Focal length [mm]
Enter the focal length in millimeters of the position of the camera if the value is not
determined by the camera.
The focal length is determined by the lens. The shorter the focal length, the wider the field of
view. The longer the focal length, the narrower the field of view and the higher the
magnification.

User manual
2023-06 | V02 | F.01U.390.686
The Sketch functionality offers an additional, half-automatic calibration method. This
calibration method allows you to describe the perspective in the camera’s field of view by
drawing vertical lines, ground lines, and ground angles in the camera image and entering the
correct size and angle. Use the Sketch functionality if the result of the automatic calibration is
not sufficient.
You can also combine this manual calibration with the values for roll angle, tilt angle, height
and focal length calculated by the camera or entered manually.
Select the Calculate check box to obtain the roll angle, tilt angle, height and focal length from
the sketched calibration elements - vertical lines, ground lines and angles - you have placed in
the device.
Clear the Calculate check box to enter a value manually or to refresh to the values provided by
the device itself.
Assisted calibration with Configuration Manager
Calibration leverages data from the device's internal sensors and/or direct user input.
With Configuration Manager (version 7.60 or higher) the device can be calibrated using the
map-based calibration feature, which allows fast and easy calibration by marking ground
points on the map and image.
Alternatively, the user can still resort to the Sketch-based calibration to manually input the
calibration values.
Refer to the Configuration Manager Online help content to learn more about assisted
calibration methods.
Calibrating cameras using the Sketch-based calibration window
To determine non-automatically set values:
1. Enter the value for tilt angle, roll angle, height and focal length if the value is known, for
example, by measuring the height of the camera above the ground, or reading the focal
length from the lens.
2. For each value that is still unknown, select the Calculate check box, then place a
calibration element on the camera image. Use these calibration elements to trace
individual outlines of the displayed environment in the camera image and define the
position and size of these lines and angles.
– Click to place a vertical line across the image.
A vertical line corresponds to a line that is perpendicular to the ground plane, such
as a door frame, edge of a building or a lamp post.
– Click to place a line across the ground in the image.
A line on ground corresponds to a line that is on the ground plane, such as a road
marking.
– Click to place an angle on the ground in the image.
The angle on ground represents an angle lying on the horizontal ground plane, such
as the corner of a carpet or parking bay markings.
3. Adjust the calibration elements to the situation:
– Enter the real size of a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then enter
the size in the corresponding box.
Example: You have placed a line on ground across the lower side of an automobile.
You know that the automobile is 4m long. Enter 4m as the length of the line.
– Adjust the position or length of a line or angle. To do this, drag the line or angle or
move the end points to the desired position in the camera image.
– Remove a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then click the trash can
icon.

4.4.4 Scene Mode
A scene mode is a collection of image parameters that are set in the device when that
particular mode is selected (installer menu settings are excluded). Several pre-defined modes
are available for typical scenarios. After a mode has been selected, additional changes can be
made through the user interface.
Current mode
i
Notice!
Some modes might behave differently in single exposure sensor mode and HDR sensor mode.
Standard
This mode is optimized for most standard scenes both indoor and outdoor.
Sodium lighting
This mode can be used in applications with street (sodium vapor) lighting. A special white
balance algorithm compensates for the yellow / orange color of the lights.
Fast movement
This mode is used for monitoring fast moving objects like cars in traffic scenes. Motion
artifacts are minimized and the image is optimized for a sharp and detailed picture in color
and monochrome.
Sensitivity boost
This mode provides maximum sensitivity in low light scenes by using longer exposure times,
resulting in bright images even in extreme low light. It can introduce motion blur because of
the slow shutter speed.
Backlight
In this mode Intelligent Auto Exposure is enabled, it automatically optimizes the exposure for
the moving objects in the scene. It is ideal for cameras monitoring an entrance with people
moving in front of a bright background.
Vibrant
This mode provides a more vivid image with increased contrast, sharpness and saturation.
This is at the expense of slightly reduced color accuracy and higher bit-rate.
Color only
In this mode the camera will not switch to monochrome mode at low light levels. It can be
used for scenarios where color images are required day and night, like in city surveillance.
Sports and gaming
This mode is for high-speed capture, and improved color rendition and sharpness.
Retail
This mode has improved color rendition and sharpness with reduced bandwidth requirements.
LPR
This mode is optimized for capturing reflective number plates at high speed in combination
with IR-lighting. Short shutter speeds and low maximum gain providing sharp and high
contrast images of license plates.
Notes:
– During night-time, in monochrome mode only, the license plates will be clearly visible
while the rest of the scene will be dark.

P iris
The lens mode can be set to Standard or Manual.
– In the Standard mode, the F-stop of the lens is adjusted automatically for best
performance.
– In the Manual mode, the precise F-stop of the lens can be selected with the slider.
Iris priority - open vs. closed
Use the slider to adjust the iris opening to the specific requirements of the scene.
An open iris increases local sharpness.
A closed iris increases depth of field, which allows you to keep objects of interest in focus.
In scenes where a change of the iris opening affects the gain, closing the iris causes more
video noise and increases bandwidth. Increased motion blur may also occur when the iris is
more closed.

Day-to-night switchover
Adjust the slider to set the video level at which the device in Automatic exposure mode
switches from color to monochrome operation.
A low (negative) value means that the device switches to monochrome at a lower light level. A
high (positive) value means that the device switches to monochrome at a higher light level.
i
Notice!
The device has a mechanism to prevent oscillation between switching from day to night and
night to day continuously when the device is in Auto.
In case of frequent oscillations, the device will stay progressively longer in night mode. At a
certain point, the device will stop oscillating and enter permanent night mode.
Resetting this behavior ensures a shorter night mode. This can be useful, for example, to
account for changing conditions or for when the device is moved to a different location.
To reset this behavior, you need to switch the Day/night mode from Auto to a different
option (Color or Monochrome), and then revert to Auto.

Select one of the following profiles for each stream:
Profile number Description
Profile 1 For a high resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to ensure that the picture quality is the priority.
Profile 2 For a high resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to a median profile for everyday use.
Profile 3 For a high resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to ensure that the bit rate is the priority.
Profile 4 For a low resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to ensure that the picture quality is the priority.
Profile 5 For a low resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to a median profile for everyday use.
Profile 6 For a low resolution image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to ensure that the bit rate is the priority.
Profile 7 Ideal for encoding on a DSL uplink where bit rate limitations are critical.
Profile 8 Ideal for encoding on a 3G uplink where bit rate limitations are critical.
Stream 1 always runs at maximum selected resolution in stream limits. On stream 2 and 3, you
can select various downscaled resolutions.
Non-recording profile

!
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.
Profile name
If required, enter a new name for the profile.
Video resolution
Select one of the available video resolution options from the drop-down menu.
Frame rate
The Frame rate slider determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted.
This can be particularly advantageous with low bandwidths. The frame rate is displayed next
to the slider.
The frame rate is the result from the maximum or base frame rate divided by the value of the
encoding interval (for example, with a base frame rate of 30 fps and an encoding interval of 6,
the encoded frame rate is 5 fps).
Advanced Settings
If necessary, use the advanced 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 required structure for the group of pictures, depending on whether you place
greater priority on having the lowest possible delay or using as little bandwidth as possible.
I-frame distance
Use the slider to set the distance between I-frames to Auto or to between 3 and 255. An entry
of 3 means that every third image is an I-frame. The lower the number, the more I-frames are
generated.
Min. P-frame QP
The Quantization Parameter (QP) specifies the degree of compression and thus the image
quality for every frame. The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality. A higher
quality produces a higher data load. Typical QP values are between 18 and 30. Define the
lower limit for the quantization of the P-frames here, and thus the maximum achievable quality
of the P-frames.
I/P-frame delta QP
This parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame QP to the P-frame 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.

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.

SD slot, locally to an SD card.
SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times and temporary recordings. They can
be used for local alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording.
For long-term authoritative images use an appropriately sized iSCSI system.
Two recording tracks are available (Recording 1 and Recording 2). The encoder streams and
profiles can be selected for each of these tracks for both standard and alarm recordings.
Ten recording profiles are available where these recording tracks can be defined differently.
These profiles are then used for building schedules.

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.
Post-alarm time has a time period from 0 s [seconds] to 3 h [hours]; 15 s [seconds] is the
default option.
Click Set to apply the changes.
Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes

4.7.5 Multicast
The device can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. The
stream is either duplicated and then distributed to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast), or it is
sent as a single stream to the network, where it is simultaneously distributed to multiple
receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses UDP and the Internet
Group Management protocol (IGMPV2). The network must support group IP addresses. Other
group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast
connections.
A special IP address from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (classD address) must be configured
for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The multicast address can be the same
for multiple streams, however, it is necessary to use a different port in each case.
The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enter a dedicated multicast address
and port for each stream.
