Browser connection
A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer is used to receive live images, control the unit,
and replay stored sequences. The unit is configured over the network using the browser.
System requirements
– Network access (Intranet or Internet)
– Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9 (32-bit)
– Screen resolution at least 1024 × 768 pixels
– 16- or 32-bit color depth
– JVM installed
The Web browser must be configured to enable Cookies from the IP address of the unit.
In Windows Vista, deactivate protected mode on the Security tab under Internet Options.
To play back live video images, an appropriate ActiveX must be installed on the computer. If
necessary, install Bosch Video Client. This can be downloaded from the following address:
http://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com/
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 and so your DHCP server assigns an IP
address. With no DHCP server the default address is 192.168.0.1
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 Bosch Video Management
System.
Password protection in camera
A unit offers the option of limiting access across various authorization levels. If the unit is
password-protected, a message to enter the password appears.
1. Enter the user name and the associated password in the appropriate fields.
2. Click OK. If the password is correct, the desired page is displayed.
Protected network
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication), the unit must
be configured first. To configure the unit, connect it directly to a computer using a network
cable and configure the two parameters, Identity and Password. Only after these have been
configured can communication with the unit via the network occur.

Configuration
Configuring Audio (Optional)
Enabling Audio Transmission
To transmit audio via the IP connection, follow these steps:
1. Open the Live page, and then click the Configuration tab.
2. In the left pane, click Web Interface. The Web Interface menu expands.
3. Click 'Live' functions. The 'Live' functions page appears.
4. Click the radio button Transmit audio to enable audio.
Activating Audio Reception
To configure audio via the Web browser, follow these steps:
1. Open the Live page, and then click the Configuration tab.
2. In the left pane, click Camera. The Camera menu expands.
3. Click Audio. The Audio page appears. The page displays the current video image in the
small window next to the slide controls to help you verify the audio source and to
improve the Peak levels.
4. Select the protocol in the Audio field to activate audio over IP. (Change the option to
ON.)
Notice!
The audio signal is sent in a separate data stream parallel to the video data, and so increases
the network load. The audio data is encoded according to G.711 or L16 and requires an
additional bandwidth of approximately 80 Kbit/s for each connection.
5. If you wish to configure the input and output gain of the audio signals, set the Line In and
Line Out fields to suit your specific requirements. Changes are effective immediately. The
current level is displayed next to the slide control to help do this. Make sure that the
display does not go beyond the green zone during modulation.
For more information, refer to Audio, page 23.

Configuration via IP, Basic Mode
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.
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.
Basic Mode: Date/Time
Device date/Device time/Device time zone
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. If necessary,
you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.
Notice!
Ensure that recording is stopped before synching to the PC.
4Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the camera.
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.
4Enter 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.
Basic Mode: Network
The settings on this page are used to integrate the camera into an existing network.

Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes
to Set and Reboot.
1. Make the desired changes.
2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The camera reboots and the changed settings are
activated.
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.
Basic Mode: Encoder
Non-recording profile
You can select a profile for encoding the video signal.
You can use this to adapt the video data transmission to the operating environment (for
example, network structure, bandwidth, data load).
Pre-programmed profiles are available, each giving priority to different perspectives. When
selecting a profile, details are displayed in the list field.
Default Profile name Description
HD Image Optimized For an HD image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to ensure that the picture quality is the priority.
HD Balanced For an HD image, the video bit rate and frame quality are
adjusted to a median profile for everyday use.
