your network. The default address pre-set at the factory is
192.168.0.1
1.
Start the Web browser.
2.
Enter the IP address of the camera as the URL.
Note:
If the connection is not established, the maximum number of
possible connections may already have been reached.
Depending on the device and network configuration, up to 25
web browsers, or 50 Bosch VMS connections are supported.
4.2.1
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

Device Access
5.2.1
Camera name
The camera can be assigned a name to assist in identifying it.
The name simplifies the management of multiple devices in
more extensive systems.
The camera name is used for remote identification, for example,
in the event of an alarm. Enter a name that makes it as easy as
possible to identify the location unambiguously.
5.2.2
Password
A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. The
device recognizes three authorization levels: service, user, and
live.
–
service is the highest authorization level. Entering the
correct password gives access to all the functions of the
camera and allows all configuration settings to be
changed.
–
user is the middle authorization level. This user can
operate the device, play back recordings, and also control
a camera but cannot change the configuration.
–
live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to
view the live video image and switch between the different
live image displays.
Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper
password protection is only guaranteed if all higher
authorization levels are also protected with a password. For
example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user
password should also be set. When assigning passwords,
always start from the highest authorization level, service, and
use different passwords.
Password
Define and change a separate password for each level while
logged in as service or if the device is not protected by a
password. Enter the password (19 characters maximum) for
the selected level.

mistakes.
The new password is only saved after clicking Set. Therefore,
click Set immediately after entering and confirming the
password, even if you plan to assign a password at another
level.
5.3
Date/Time
Device date, time and zone
If there are multiple devices operating in the 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 devices are operating on the
same time.
As the device time is controlled by the internal clock, it is not
necessary to enter the day or date of the week. These are set
automatically. The time zone in which the system is located is
also set automatically.

Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your
computer to the device.
Note:
It is important to ensure that the date/time is correct for
recording. An incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct
recording.

2.

–
The device is rebooted and the changed settings are

address is changed, then the device is only available
under the new addresses after the reboot.
DHCP
If the network has a DHCP server for dynamic IP address
allocation, set this parameter to On to activate the automatic
acceptance of DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
Note:
Certain applications (for example, Bosch Video Management
System) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the
device. If using 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 the camera. The IP address
must be valid for the network.
Subnet mask
Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the set IP address.
Gateway address
Enter the IP address of the gateway to establish a connection to
a remote location in a different subnet. Otherwise, this field can
remain empty (0.0.0.0).

Profile Configuration
Profiles can be configured for use with the H.264 settings of
encoder streams. Select a profile by clicking the appropriate
tab. Change the name of a profile and individual parameter
values within a profile.
Profiles are rather complex. They include a number of
parameters that interact with one another, so it is generally
best to use the default profiles. Only change a profile if
completely familiar with all the configuration options.
The parameters as a group constitute a profile and are
dependent on one another. If a setting outside the permitted
range for a parameter is entered, the nearest valid value is
substituted when the settings are saved.
Profile name
Enter a new name for the profile here. (Do not use any special
characters, for example &.)
Target bit rate
To optimize utilization of the bandwidth in the network, limit
the bit rate. The target bit rate should be set according to the
desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive
motion.
For complex images or frequent changes of image content due
to frequent movements, this limit can temporarily be exceeded
up to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field.
Maximum bit rate
This maximum bit rate is not exceeded under any
circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the
I-frames and P-frames, this can result in individual images being
skipped.
The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the
value entered in the Target bit rate field. If the value entered
here is too low, it is automatically adjusted.

The Encoding interval slider determines the interval at which

Video resolution
Select here the desired resolution for the video image. VGA
(640x480) and QVGA (320x240) resolutions are available.

GOP structure
Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures.
Depending on whether you place greater priority on having the
lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little
bandwidth possible, you choose IP, IBP or IBBP.
I-frame distance
Use the slider to set the distance between I-frames to Auto or
to between 3 and 60. An entry of 3 means that every third
image is an I-frame.The lower the number, the more I-frames
are generated.
I-frame quality
This setting adjusts the image quality of the I-frames. The basic
setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for
the P-frame video quality. Alternatively, use the slider to set a
value between 9 and 51. The value 9 represents the best image
quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending
on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 51 results
in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.
P-frame quality
This setting adjusts the maximum image quality of the P-frames.
The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts to the optimum
combination of movement and image definition (focus).
