3 New Features for CPP7.3 products
Encoding
•
Support of H.265 compression
A camera can be configured to use either H.265 or H.264. As H.265 requires more CPU
performance, there might be limitations to maximum frame rate under certain conditions.
Note:
H.265 requires approx. 4 times the performance for decoding compared to H.264.
Installed workstations, decoders and software might lack the performance to fluently decode
H.265 streams.
4 New Features for CPP7.3, CPP7, CPP6 and CPP4 products
Intelligent Streaming
•
Intelligent Streaming is a combination of features and functions to optimize bitrate
consumption of recorded video. It benefits from improved noise reduction in still areas of the
image, an average noise level communicated to the encoder, larger GOP size, strong use of
prediction in case of B slices, and dynamic tuning of quantization parameters (QP) in the
encoder.
•
The strength of the bitrate optimization can be set via 5 levels. Savings can be up to 90%
using H.265 compression but are strongly scene-dependent.
Imaging
•
Support of 120 dB high dynamic range for 5000 camera series has been added.
•
Improved noise filtering in still scenes.
VCA
For details on VCA 6.40 please refer to the separate release notes of Essential Video Analytics or
Intelligent Video Analytics.
ONVIF
•
ONVIF manual iris and focus controls added.
•
Feature coverage of the ONVIF metadata stream has been extended to include e.g. object
classes, object shape polygons, faces, flame and smoke detection info.
•
Profile G support

Security
•
Password enforcement
o
o
o
New cameras with this firmware installed will only become operable after the password
for the administration level (user “service”) has been assigned.
Other users “user” and “live” will only become accessible after the administrator assigned
passwords to them.
Cameras which are updated to this firmware from a version lower than 6.40 will not
change their behaviour and remain at their former protection level unless reset to factory
defaults.
•
Stronger user name and password policy is enforced. The following rules apply:
o User names must be at least five (5) characters long.
o User name and password must not be identical.
o A password must consist of minimum eight (8) characters.
o A password must contain both upper-case and lower-case letters.
o A password must include one or more numerical digits.
o A password must include at least one of these special characters:
!?"#$%(){}[]*+-=.,;^_|~\
Other special characters (like space @ : < > ' & etc.) are not supported.
•
Signed firmware file enforcement
Only Bosch-signed firmware will be accepted by the camera without compromises.
•
Data encryption on iSCSI storages
o
o
o
o
o
•
•
SRTP payload encryption for live and replay
SRTP provides payload encryption of UDP streams via TLS, similar to what HTTPS does by
using TLS for TCP streams. Also encrypted multicast connections are possible.
SNMPv3 support
o
o
•
The payload on an iSCSI drive is encrypted using a symmetric XTS encryption scheme
(block encryption).
The camera uses a number of public keys to asymmetrically encrypt the XTS key for
multiple receivers. These public keys are maintained in the certificate store via
certificates. Usage can be defined as for „recording1“ and/or „recording2“.
Payload encryption is possible on SD cards as well as on external iSCSI storage.
A client that shall be allowed to replay this footage must have its cert/key registered and
activated.
The Video Recording Manager (VRM) may also be a receiver to decrypt the payload data
for replay.
New alternative SNMP support provides encryption and authentication. This new service
will provide pure MIB-II access.
Legacy functions, like NTCIP support or mapping of dedicated RCP commands to SNMP
Enterprise MIB nodes, are only provided with existing SNMPv1 implementation.
Certificate revocation list (CRL) support

•
To improve usability and provide a more compact overview, the web user interface for the
certificate store has been updated. It now allows direct tagging of certificates for usages. The
former split into two areas (Files and Usage) is removed.
•
Stronger encryption and password protection for configuration file
o
o
o
o
The configuration file is encrypted and password-protected before download.
The user as the owner of this configuration file is prompted for the password.
The password is required when the configuration file is uploaded to a camera.
The configuration file is encrypted using standard mechanisms but not intended to be
opened or modified by the user, thus the encryption key itself is kept internal and not
exposed.
•
Stronger encryption for maintenance log file
The maintenance log file as being used in tech support cases is encrypted with a Bosch public
key. Only tech support staff is authorized to decrypt and open the file.
•
The minimum TLS version can be defined, e.g. to avoid vulnerabilities from TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
•
The Telnet console has been completely removed and is substituted by a new logging facility
providing:
o
o
o
o
A more structured output including timestamp, severity and module sources
Search and filtering for specific events via web user interface
Direct output to a syslog server
Configuration to produce similar “debug” printouts for tech support as previously
•
Consolidation of running services, visualized on new page “Network Services”.
Only those services (HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RCP, iSCSI, NTP, discovery, ONVIF discovery)
are running which are required for activated functionality. All other services (FTP, SNMP,
UPnP, GB/T 28181) and their respective ports are deactivated.
•
The password unlock functionality (support recovery option) can be disabled.
•
CHAVE cameras
o
o
Multiple trusted issuers are now allowed for client certificate authentication.
An option to not wipe the SXI certificate when a factory default is issued has been added.
•
Installation Code has been enhanced with a block for crypto-coprocessor version indicators.
The Installation Code thus has a length of 48 digits instead of only 44 digits.
•
Multicast discovery port is now configurable via browser interface.

completeness and details.

6 Restrictions; Known Issues
•
This firmware and its included platform firmware builds are not applicable to MPEG-4
products.
•
The final firmware version for VIP-X1600-XFM4 modules is FW 5.53.
No newer firmware will be provided for these modules.
•
Configuration Manager cannot upload this Combined Firmware file to VIP-X1600-XFM4
modules. Use the module’s web page instead for uploading; or use the separate firmware file.
•
The final firmware version for CPP3 devices is FW 5.74.
No newer firmware will be provided for these products.
•
The Combined Firmware file does not load onto VG4 AutoDome or AutoDome Easy II via the
browser when running a firmware version before 5.52.0017. The specific platform file should
be used instead.
•
Cameras or encoders with a minimum firmware version that is higher than the lowest firmware
version in the combined firmware file may show error 0x0b in the upload history which can be
ignored. Firmware upload is not affected by this.
•
CPP4 cameras with firmware versions below 6.10 need to upload this package twice to
receive the latest firmware version.
•
CPP6 cameras with firmware versions below 6.10 need to upload the separate firmware
version 6.1x first to receive the latest firmware version.
•
With products running firmware 6.32 below built 111, sporadically occurring incorrect time
zone info in recording packets may lead to gaps displayed in the playback timeline. The video
footage within the gap cannot be replayed but becomes accessible via exporting the affected
period.
Please check the respective release letter of a camera or encoder for further device-specific
restrictions.
