1 VSG Version 7.2.0

1.1 Introduction
The latest version of the Release Notes is always available on the Bosch Security Systems Product Catalog. Video Streaming Gateway (VSG) 7.2.0 introduces new functionality and resolves issues. VSG 7.2.0 is tested and released with BVMS 10.1. The list of tested cameras with BVMS 10.1 can be found on the Bosch Building Technologies knowledge base. The VSG is included in the BVMS installation package.

1.2 Installation notes
Password protection is not enforced during installation and configuration of the Video Streaming gateway and it's instances. It is recommended to set a password for the service-, user- and live user for each installed instance manually to protect the devices for unauthorized access. Due to the required performance, it is not recommended to install VSG within a virtual environment. Unexpected issues, for example recording gaps, might arise when the virtual machine does not get the required (virtual) resources.
