F.01U.082.117 | V4.0 | 2008.12 Installation and Operating Manual Bosch Security Systems
2.2 Overview of Functions
IP Matrix System
IP Matrix can be used to control IP-based monitoring systems of up to 32 cameras and up to
ten monitors via an IntuiKey keyboard without the use of a computer. In normal operation, the
system works only via the network connections between IP cameras, encoders and decoders,
controlled via the IntuiKey. As part of a larger CCTV system, IP Matrix can be used as a
satellite system. The higher-ranking system can access IP Matrix for control purposes.
Otherwise, IP Matrix works independently and is completely self-sufficient.
Camera Tours and AutoDome Presets
IP Matrix supports the configuration of up to five predefined camera tours; you can switch
these rather than individual cameras to monitors. These tours enable up to ten cameras to be
switched in a continuous sequence in accordance with a schedule. AutoDome cameras can be
controlled as usual via IntuiKey.Fixed AutoDome positions can be configured in the system as
virtual cameras.
Special Functions and Alarm Task Scripting
In addition to providing access to the camera menus, IP Matrix also enables up to eight special
functions to be accessed at the touch of a button. These special functions can be configured
in the system via Alarm Task Scripting. Alarm Task Scripting can also be used to display
camera and encoder alarms on the IntuiKey. In the event of an alarm, the alarm key on the
IntuiKey lights up red until the alarm is confirmed by pressing the alarm key. A script can also
be configured to trigger a reaction to the alarm when the alarm key is pressed.
Configuration
IP Matrix can be configured with a Web browser on the local network (Intranet) or via the
Internet.
Use of a computer is only required for configuring the system or for maintenance purposes.
Summary
IP Matrix provides the following main functions:
– Purely IP-based CCTV matrix system
– Up to 32 cameras, ten monitors and one IntuiKey keyboard
– No computer required to operate system
– Automatic camera tours
– Automatic alarm processing via Alarm Task Scripting

3 Installation and Configuration
3.1 IntuiKey
IP Matrix is controlled via the IntuiKey keyboard. The IntuiKey functions are only described
here if they are relevant for operating IP Matrix. Standard functions are described in the
IntuiKey documentation. Familiarize yourself with the keyboard and its functions before
configuring and operating IP Matrix.
3.2 BVIP Units
Various BVIP units, for example network video servers and IP cameras, are integrated into the
IP Matrix-controlled system.
3.3 Activating a License
In order to use the IntuiKey with IP Matrix, you must purchase a corresponding license, which
enables the IP Matrix functions in the required BVIP decoder (VIP XD or XFMD decoder
module). Enter the activation key for enabling IP Matrix on this page.
Requesting activation keys
When you purchase IP Matrix, you will be provided with an authorization number. This number
can be found in an envelope that is included with the scope of delivery or is provided via e-
mail. You use this number and the installation code on the Licenses page to generate the
activation key on the Bosch Software License Manager Internet platform.
!
CAUTION!
Observe the Installation and Operating Manual for the IntuiKey keyboard.
This contains important information regarding safety and operating options.
Ensure that at least firmware version 1.60 is installed in the IntuiKey in use. Older versions
cannot be used for IP Matrix.
!
CAUTION!
Observe the Installation and Operating Manuals for the BVIP units in use.
This contains important information regarding safety and operating options.
i
NOTICE!
The license cannot be deactivated again and is not transferable to other units. More
information on operating the network video server is available in the associated Installation
and Operating Manual and in the online Help.

3.4 General
If necessary, you can use this page to enter passwords and configure basic audio transmission
settings.
Keyboard password
You can configure a password to access IP Matrix from IntuiKey. You must then enter this
password on the IntuiKey to enable control of IP Matrix. The password must be made up of a
maximum of eight digits.
If no password is necessary, leave this field empty.
Camera password
You can enter a password that is to be used to access password-protected BVIP senders
(cameras or encoders). The password is valid for all units in the system.
Audio
The audio signals are sent in a separate data stream parallel to the video data, and so increase
the network load. The audio data are encoded according to G.711 and require an additional
bandwidth of approx. 80 kbps for each connection.
i
NOTICE!
All IP cameras or network video servers in the system must be protected by the same
password, as IP Matrix only manages one common password for access purposes.
