System Information  
3.1  
Overview of functions  
The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary  
function is to encode video and control data for transmission  
over an IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited  
for IP communication and for remote access to digital video  
recorders and IP systems. The use of existing networks means  
that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be  
achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera  
can be simultaneously received on several receivers.  
3.1.1  
3.1.2  
Progressive scan  
The camera captures and processes progressively scanned  
images. When there is fast motion in a scene, progressively  
scanned images are generally sharper than interlaced images.  
Day/Night function  
The Day/Night function provides enhanced night viewing by  
increasing the IR sensitivity. The motorized IR filter can be  
removed in low-light or IR illuminated applications. The IR filter  
switches from color to monochrome automatically by sensing  
the illumination level. In auto switching mode the camera  
prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images without  
motion blur) or color (the camera gives color pictures as long as  
the light level permits).  
3.1.3  
Wide dynamic range  
A unique combination of 20-bit digital video processing that  
enhances sensitivity and 2X-Dynamic which extends the  
dynamic range, provides a sharper, more detailed image with  
outstanding accuracy in color reproduction. The 20-bit digital  
signal is automatically processed to optimally capture the detail  
in both the high and low light areas of the scene  
simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the  
picture.

simultaneously according to three different, individually  
customized profiles. This creates two full H.264 streams that  
can serve different purposes and an additional M-JPEG stream.  
3.1.5  
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)  
The camera complies to the ONVIF standard which means that  
it is easier to install and integrate into larger systems. The  
ONVIF standard is a global standard for the interface of network  
video products.

3.1.7  
3.1.8  
Audio  
Two-way duplex audio is available in the unit for live voice  
communications or audio recording.  
Alarm I/O  
The alarm input can be used to control the functionality of the  
unit. An alarm output can control external devices.  
Tamper detection and motion detectors  
The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for  
alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. An  
algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also  
part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to  
include special video analysis algorithms.  
3.1.9  
Video encoding  
The camera uses the H.264 compression standards. Thanks to  
efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high  
image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions  
within wide limits.  
3.1.10  
Multicast  
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables  
simultaneous, real time transmission to multiple receivers. The  
prerequisite for this is that the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols are  
implemented on the network.

Day/Night switching  
The camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The  
mechanical IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR  
illuminated applications by software configuration settings.  
If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically  
switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The  
switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the  
camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images  
without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color  
(the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level  
permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to  
prevent unwanted switching to color mode.  
There are four different methods of controlling the IR filter:  
via an alarm input,  
automatically, based on the observed light levels, or  
as part of the programmable mode profile.

Device Access  
8.2.1  
Camera name  
Assign a name to assist in identification. This name simplifies  
the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems.  
The 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.  
8.2.2  
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 for the selected level.

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.  
1. Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your  
computer to the device.  
Time server IP address  
The camera can receive the time signal from a time server using  
various time server protocols and then use it to set the internal  
clock. The device polls the time signal automatically once every  
minute. Enter the IP address of a time server.  
Time server type  
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time  
server. It is recommended to select the SNTP server protocol.  
This protocol provides high accuracy and is required for special  
applications and future function extensions. Select Time server  
if the server uses the RFC 868 protocol.  
Note:  
It is important to ensure that the date/time is correct for  
recording. An incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct  
recording.

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

Target data rate  
To optimize utilization of the bandwidth in the network, limit  
the data rate for the camera. The target data 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 data rate field.  
Maximum data rate  
This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any  
circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the

skipped.  
The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the  
value entered in the Target data rate field. If the value entered  
here is too low, it is automatically adjusted.  
Encoding interval  
The Encoding interval slider determines the interval at which  
images are encoded and transmitted. This can be particularly  
advantageous with low bandwidths. The image rate in ips  
(images per second) is displayed next to the slider.  
Video resolution  
Select the desired resolution for the video image. The following  
resolutions are available:  
CIF  
352 × 288/240 pixels  
4CIF/D1

Expert Settings  
if necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality  
and the P-frame quality to specific requirements. The setting is  
based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).  
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).  
Alternatively, use the slider to set a value between 9 and 51.

Shutter/AGC  
Shutter  
Fixed — allows a user-defined shutter speed.  
AES (auto-shutter) — the camera automatically sets the  
optimum shutter speed. The camera tries to maintain the  
selected default shutter speed as long as the light level of  
the scene permits.  
FL — flickerless mode avoids interference from light  
sources (recommended for use with video iris or DC iris  
lenses only).  
Default shutter / Fixed shutter  
Select the shutter speed (1/60 [1/50], 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/  
500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/5000, 1/10K) for the default (AES) or  
fixed value.  
In AES mode, the camera tries to maintain the selected shutter  
speed as long as the light level of the scene is high enough.  
In Fixed mode, select the shutter speed.  
Actual shutter  
Displays the actual shutter value from the camera to help  
compare lighting levels and optimum shutter speed during set-  
up.  
Sensitivity up

Note:  
If Sensitivity up is active, some noise or spots may appear in the  
picture. This is normal camera behavior. Sensitivity up may  
cause some motion blur on moving objects.  
Gain  
AGC - the camera automatically sets the gain to the lowest  
possible value needed to maintain a good picture.  
Fixed - sets Fixed gain value.  
Maximum gain / Fixed gain  
Selects the maximum value the gain can have during AGC  
operation (0 to 30 dB).  
Selects the gain setting for Fixed gain operation (0 is no gain).

Displays the actual AGC value from the camera to help compare  
gain level with lighting levels and picture performance.  
9.6.4  
Day/night  
The Day/Night camera is equipped with a motorized IR  
(infrared) filter. The IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR-  
illuminated applications. There are four different methods of  
switching:  
via the alarm input,  
as part of the programmable mode profile,  
automatically, based on the observed light levels, or  
via the settings page.  
Day/night  
Auto - the camera switches the IR cut-off filter on and off  
depending on the scene illumination level.  
Monochrome - the IR cut-off filter is removed, giving full IR  
sensitivity.  
Color - the camera always produces a color signal regardless of  
light levels.  
Switch level  
Set the video Switch level at which the camera in Auto mode  
switches to monochrome operation (-15 to 0 to +15).

A low (negative) value means that the camera switches to  
monochrome at a lower light level. A high (positive) value  
means that the camera switches to monochrome at a higher  
light level.  
Priority  
In Auto switching mode, set the camera priority to either:  
Color: the camera gives color pictures as long as the light  
level permits.  
Motion: the camera gives sharp images without motion  
blur as long as the light level permits (it switches to  
monochrome earlier than it would with Color priority).  
The camera recognizes IR-illuminated scenes to prevent  
unwanted switching to color mode.  
IR contrast  
There are two modes for IR contrast:  
Enhanced: the camera optimizes contrast in applications  
with high IR illumination levels. Select this mode for IR  
(730 to 940 nm) light sources and for scenes with grass  
and green foliage.  
Normal: the camera optimizes contrast in mono  
applications with visible light illumination.  
Color burst  
Off: the color burst in the video signal is switched Off in  
monochrome mode.  
On: the color burst remains active even in monochrome  
mode (required by some DVRs and IP encoders).  
9.6.5  
Enhance  
Dynamic engine  
Off: turns off all automatic scene detail and enhancements  
(only recommendedfor testing).  
XF Dynamic: extra internal processing is enabled for low-  
light applications (traffic, etc.).

image (use 2X Dynamic when SmartBLC is not required).  
Smart BLC: BLC window and weighting factor are  
automatically defined. Camera dynamically adjusts these  
for changing light conditions. Includes all the benefits of  
2X Dynamic.  
Auto black  
Auto black ON automatically increases the visibility of details  
even when scene contrast is less than full-range due to mist,  
fog, etc.  
Sharpness level  
Adjusts the black level between -15 and +15. Zero position of  
slider corresponds to the factory default black level.  
A low (negative) value makes the picture less sharp. Increasing  
sharpness brings out more detail. Extra sharpness can enhance  
the details of license plates, facial features and the edges of  
certain surfaces.  
Dynamic noise reduction  
In AUTO mode the camera automatically reduces the noise in  
the picture. This may cause some motion blur on exceptionally  
fast moving objects immediately in front of the camera. This can  
be corrected by widening the field of view or selecting Off.  
Peak white invert  
Use Peak white invert to reduce glare from the CRT/LCD  
display.  
Use in ANPR/LPR applications to reduce headlight glare. (Test  
on-site to ensure that it does benefit the application and is not  
distracting for operators.)

Recording includes  
Specify whether, in addition to video data, audio or metadata  
(for example alarms or VCA data) should also be recorded.  
Including metadata could make subsequent searches of  
recordings easier but it requires additional memory capacity.  
Without metadata, it is not possible to include video content  
analysis in recordings.  
Standard recording  
Select the mode for standard recordings:  
Continuous: the recording proceeds continuously. If the  
maximum memory capacity is reached, older recordings  
will automatically be overwritten.  
Pre-alarm: recording takes place in the pre-alarm time,  
during the alarm and during the post-alarm time only.  
Off: no automatic recording takes place.

Aggregation time (s)  
Set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds. The  
aggregation time always starts when an alarm event occurs. It  
extends the alarm event by the value set. This prevents alarm  
events that occur in quick succession from triggering several  
alarms and successive events in a rapid sequence. No further  
alarm is triggered during the aggregation time.  
The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts once  
the aggregation time has expired.  
Analysis type  
Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only Motion+  
is available — this offers a motion detector and essential  
recognition of tampering.

Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless  
this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type  
selected and the relevant configuration, additional information  
overlays the video image in the preview window next to the  
parameter settings. With the Motion+ analysis type, for  
example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded are  
marked with rectangles.  
Note:  
Additional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions,  
such as IVMD and IVA, are available from Bosch Security  
Systems.  
Motion detector  
Motion detection is available for the Motion+ analysis type. For  
the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:  
Analysis must be activated.  
At least one sensor field must be activated.  
The individual parameters must be configured to suit the  
operating environment and the desired responses.  
The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.  
Note:  
Reflections of light (from glass surfaces, etc.), lights switching  
on and off, or changes in the light level caused by cloud  
movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses  
from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a  
series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure  
that the video sensor is operating as intended. For indoor  
surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the  
day and at night.  
Sensitivity  
Sensitivity is available for the Motion+ analysis type. The basic  
sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the  
environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The  
sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image.  
The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must  
be selected.

Minimum object size  
Specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must  
cover to generate an alarm. This setting prevents objects that  
are too small from triggering an alarm. A minimum value of 4 is  
recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.  
Debounce time 1 s  
The debounce time prevents very brief alarm events from  
triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is  
activated, an alarm event must last at least 1 second to trigger  
an alarm.

Select the areas of the image to be monitored by the motion  
detector. The video image is subdivided into square sensor  
fields. Activate or deactivate each of these fields individually. To  
exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from  
monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind,  
for example), the relevant fields can be deactivated.

Sensitivity and Trigger delay (s) can only be changed if  
Reference check is selected.  
Sensitivity  
The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted  
for the environmental conditions to which the camera is  
subject. The algorithm reacts to the differences between the  
reference image and the current video image. The darker the  
observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.  
Trigger delay (s)  
Set delayed alarm triggering here. The alarm is only triggered  
after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if  
the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has  
been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not  
triggered. This avoids false alarms triggered by short-term  
changes, for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of  
vision of the camera.  
Global change (slider)  
Set how large the global change in the video image must be for  
an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the  
sensor fields selected under Select Area. Set a high value if  
fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a  
low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in  
a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm. This option  
allows detection, independently of motion alarms, manipulation  
of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning  
the camera mount bracket, for example.  
Global change  
Activate this function if the global change, as set with the  
Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.  
Scene too bright  
Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to  
extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the  
objective) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of  
the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too noisy  
Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC  
interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference  
signal in the vicinity of the video lines) should trigger an alarm.  
Reference check  
Save a reference image that can be continuously compared with  
the current video image. If the current video image in the  
marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is  
triggered. This detects tampering that would otherwise not be  
detected, for example, if the camera is turned.

areas are marked in yellow.  
4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option  
to specify the reference check once again.  
Disappearing edges  
The area selected in the reference image should contain a  
prominent structure. If this structure is concealed or moved,  
the reference check triggers an alarm. If the selected area is too  
homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure  
would not trigger an alarm, then an alarm is triggered  
immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.

9.10.3  
Multicasting  
In addition to a one-to-one connection between a camera and a  
single receiver (unicast), the camera can enable multiple  
receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. This is  
either done by duplicating the data stream in the device and  
then distributing it to multiple receivers (multi-unicast), or by  
distributing an individual data stream in the network itself to  
multiple receivers in a defined group (multicast). Enter a  
dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. Then  
switch between the streams by clicking the associated tabs.  
The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable  
network that uses the UDP and IGMP protocols. Other group  
membership protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol  
does not support multicast connections.  
A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for  
multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The  
network must support group IP addresses and the Internet  
Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is  
from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The multicast address can  
be the same for multiple streams. However, it is then necessary  
to use a different port in each case so that multiple data  
streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and  
multicast address. The settings must be made individually for  
each stream.  
Enable  
Enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers that  
need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the  
box and then enter the multicast address.  
Multicast Address  
Enter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast  
mode (duplication of the data stream in the network). With the

setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the stream operates in multi-  
unicast mode (copying of data stream in device). The camera  
supports multi-unicast connections for up to five  
simultaneously-connected receivers.  
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can  
lead to impairment of the image quality under certain  
circumstances.  
Port  
Enter the port address for the stream here.  
Streaming  
Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode. An  
activated stream is marked with a check. (Streaming is typically  
not required for standard multicast operation.)  
Multicast packet TTL  
A value can be entered to specify how long the multicast data  
packets are active on the network. If multicast is to be run via a  
router, the value must be greater than 1.

Maintenance  
12.1  
Testing the network connection  
The ping command can be used to check the connection  
between two IP addresses. This allows testing whether a device  
is active in the network.  
1. Open the DOS command prompt.  
2. Type ping followed by the IP address of the device.  
If the device is found, the response appears as " Reply from ... ",  
followed by the number of bytes sent and the transmission time  
in milliseconds. Otherwise, the device cannot be accessed via  
the network. This might be because:  
The device is not properly connected to the network.  
Check the cable connections in this case.  
The device is not correctly integrated into the network.  
Check the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.  
12.2  
Communication with Terminal Program  
Data Terminal  
If a camera cannot be found in the network or the connection to  
the network is interrupted, you can connect a data terminal to  
the camera for initial setup and for setting important  
parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a  
terminal program.  
You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug  
to connect to the computer.  
HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with  
Microsoft Windows, can be used as the terminal program.  
1. Disconnect the camera from the Ethernet network before  
working with the terminal program.  
2. Connect the serial interface of the camera using any  
available serial interface on the computer.

Configuring the Terminal  
Before the terminal program can communicate with the camera,  
the transmission parameters must be matched. Make the  
following settings for the terminal program:  
19,200 bps  
8 data bits  
No parity check  
1 stop bit  
No protocol  
Command Inputs  
After the connection has been established, you must log on to  
the camera to access the main menu. Other submenus and  
functions can be accessed using the on-screen commands.  
1. If necessary, turn off the local echo so that entered values  
are not repeated on the display.  
2. Enter one command at a time.  
3. When you have entered a value, such as the IP address,  
check the characters you have entered before pressing  
Enter to transfer the values to the camera.  
Assigning an IP Address  
Before you can operate a camera in your network you must first  
assign it an IP address that is valid for your network.  
The following default address is preset at the factory:  
192.168.0.1  
1. Start a terminal program such as HyperTerminal.  
2. Enter the user name service. The terminal program  
displays the main menu.  
3. Enter command 1 to open the IP menu.  
4. Enter 1 again. The terminal program displays the current IP  
address and prompts you to enter a new IP address.  
5. Enter the desired IP address and press Enter. The terminal  
program displays the new IP address.  
6. Use the displayed commands for any additional settings  
you require.

Briefly interrupt the power supply to the camera for a reboot  
(disconnect the power supply unit from the mains supply and  
switch on again after a few seconds).  
Additional Parameters  
You can use the terminal program to check other basic  
parameters and modify them where necessary. Use the on-  
screen commands in the various submenus to do this.  
12.3  
Repairs  
CAUTION!  
Never open the casing of the unit. The unit does not contain any  
user serviceable parts. Ensure that all maintenance or repair  
work is performed only by qualified personnel (electrical  
engineering or network technology specialists). In case of  
doubt, contact your dealer's technical service center.  
12.3.1  
Transfer and disposal  
The camera should only be passed on together with this  
installation guide. The unit contains environmentally hazardous  
materials that must be disposed of according to law. Defective  
or superfluous devices and parts should be disposed of  
professionally or taken to your local collection point for  
hazardous materials.
