1.4 Important safety instructions
Read, follow, and retain for future reference all of the following safety instructions. Follow all
warnings before operating the device.
1. Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
2. Do not install device near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other
equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
3. Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
4. Take precautions to protect the device from power and lightning surges.
5. Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions.
6. Operate the device only from the type of power source indicated on the label.
7. Unless qualified, do not attempt to service a damaged device yourself. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
8. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions in accordance with applicable
local codes.
9. Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. Protect all connection cables from possible damage, particularly at connection points.
!
Warning!
Bosch’s version of High PoE:
If supplying power to the camera by HPoE or a midspan device, you must install additional
surge protection.
Ventilation – Any openings in the device / enclosure are provided for ventilation to prevent
overheating and to ensure reliable operation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not
place the device in an enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided, or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
Video loss - Video loss is inherent to digital video recording; therefore, Bosch Security
Systems cannot be held liable for any damage that results from missing video information.
To minimize the risk of losing information, we recommend multiple, redundant recording
systems, and a procedure to back up all analog and digital information.
!
Caution!
Always securely tighten all fittings to ensure a liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow
water to enter the housing and damage the units. If a sealant is used, ensure that it is a
neutral cure type. Sealants that release acetic acid may harm electronics. Use drip loops on
the wiring outside the housing.
Always use Teflon tape (user-supplied) and sealant (user-supplied) on connector threads of
any mount (sold separately by Bosch or user-supplied).
i
Notice!
Risk of water ingress
Securely seal all fittings and connection points between the device and all mounts to ensure a
liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow water to enter the housing and damage the
device. Always use Teflon tape (user-supplied) and sealant (user-supplied) on connector
threads of any mount (sold separately by Bosch or user-supplied).
If a sealant is used, make sure that it is a neutral cure type. Sealants that release acetic acid
may harm electronics.
Use drip loops on the wiring outside the housing.

1.6 Connection in Applications
24VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate with a limited power source. The unit
is intended to operate at 24VAC (if PoE+ is not available). User supplied wiring must be in
compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
PoE: Use only approved PoE+ devices. Power-over-Ethernet can be connected at the same
time as a 24VAC power supply.
If auxiliary power (24VAC) and PoE+ are applied simultaneously, the camera selects auxiliary
input and shuts off PoE+.
24 VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate at 24 VAC (if PoE is not available).
User-supplied wiring must be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
PoE: Use only approved PoE (802.3at or 802.3bt) devices. Power-over-Ethernet can be
connected at the same time as a 24 VAC power supply. If auxiliary power (24 VAC) and PoE
are applied simultaneously, the camera selects PoE and stops auxiliary input.
For pendant models used in outdoor applications that require heaters, 24 VAC power is
required to power both the camera and its internal heaters.
For in-ceiling or indoor pendant applications that don’t require heater power, standard PoE+
(802.3at) midspans or switches can be used to power the camera.

2023-02 | 1.4 | F.01U.413.551 Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems
2.1 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
– Windows10 or later
– Network access
– Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox
- or -
Application software, for example, VideoSecurityClient, BoschVideoClient or BVMS.
2.2 Establishing the connection
The unit must have a valid IP address to operate on your network and a compatible subnet
mask.
By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On plus Link-Local so a DHCP server assigns an
IP address or, if no DHCP server is available, a link-local address (auto-IP) is assigned within
the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
You can use the Configuration Manager to find the IP address. Download the software from
http://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com.
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the unit as the URL.
3. During initial installation, confirm any security questions that appear.
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 BoschVideoClient or BVMS.
2.3 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 192.168.0.1
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 BoschVideoClient or BVMS.

Bosch Security Systems Installation Manual 2023-02 | 1.4 | F.01U.413.551
7 Installing a Camera Directly to an Indoor Wall
7.1 Installation Requirements
– The wall is thick enough to install the mounting screws.
– The wall can sustain at least eight (8) times the weight of the camera (1.88 kg (4.14 lb)):
> 15 kg (33 lb).
7.2 Preparing the Wall for Installation
i
Notice!
Indoor use only!
The instructions in this chapter apply to indoor installation only. For outdoor installation, use
either the surveillance cabinet (NDA-U-PA x ) or the mount plate (NDA-U-WMP).
1. Determine a secure location for the wall mount. Ensure there is an adequate opening in
the wall for the cables to pass through.
2. Use the direct connect plate as a template to mark the location to drill holes for the four
mounting screws (and anchors (user-supplied) if necessary), and to cut the hole for the
cables.
3. Drill the holes.
4. Insert the wall anchors (user-supplied) (if necessary) into the wall at the locations
marked in step 2.
5. Cut an appropriately-sized hole for the cables, using a drywall utility saw or jig saw.
7.3 Installing the Wall Mount
1. Attach the direct connect plate to the wall.
2. Thread the RJ45 cable and 24 VAC cables through the wall and then through the
(adapter).
Make sure that the cables are long enough to reach through the mount and the mounting cap
of the camera to the connections from the camera.
1. Slide the mounting flange over the wall mount.
2. Attach the wall mount to the mounting flange and to the direct connect plate using four
M5 screws.
3. Attach the wall mount to the mounting flange and fix them on the front door of the Wall-
mount Surveillance Cabinet by using four M5 screws.
7.4 Attaching the Mounting Cap and the Camera
1. To make a watertight seal, wrap PTFE tape () four times around the threads at the end of
the mount.
2. Attach the mounting cap to the mount.
3. Secure the locking screw with the T15 Torx screwdriver.
