Bosch Security Systems Software manual AM18-Q0649 | v5.8 | 2013.06
1 Browser connection
A computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer is used to receive
live images from the camera, control the camera, and replay
stored sequences. The camera is configured over the network
using the browser.
1.1 System requirements
– Network access (Intranet or Internet)
– Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9 (32-bit only)
– 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 the Bosch Video
Client.

12 en | Browser connection Camera Browser Interface
AM18-Q0649 | v5.8 | 2013.06 Software manual Bosch Security Systems
1.2 Establishing the connection
The camera 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
1. Start the Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the camera as the URL.
3. During initial installation, confirm any security questions
that appear.
Note:
If you do not connect, the camera may have reached its
maximum number of connections. Depending on the device and
network configuration, each camera can have up to 25 web
browser connections, or up to 50 connections via Bosch Video
Client or Bosch Video Management System.
1.2.1 Password protection in camera
A camera offers the option of limiting access across various
authorization levels. If the camera 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.
1.3 Protected network
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x
authentication), the camera must be configured first. To
configure the camera, 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 camera via the network occur.
