1 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.
1.1 Systems requirements
Our recommendations are:
– Computer with Intel Skylake processor or better
– Intel HD530 graphic card with performance that matches or is better than the resolution
of the camera
– Windows7 or later operating system
– Network access
– Internet Explorer version 11 or later
– or –
Application software, for example, VideoSecurityClient, BoschVideoClient or Bosch
Video Management System.
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 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 IP Helper or 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.
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 Bosch Video Management
System.
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.
