Bosch IP cameras image crashes or it shows blue screen: logs interpretation

[#1]

Possible causes and solution(s)

• Causes

Based on the symptoms of no steaming video, a blank diagnostic log and the message below in the logs, there could be a few possible problems. These would be internal hardware issues.

1. Blank Diagnostic log: This indicates a loss of communications between the System controller and the IP board.
2. No streaming video: Could be either a camera block issue, or a problem in the transmission of the video between the camera block output to the input of the encoder.
3. IP log message: The following message also indicates a problem with the video signal.

• GetSDVideoFormatType(): get current video format failed!

• Solution

If you have a camera that shows image for a while and then crashes or sometimes it shows blue screen → first, you have to check if the unit has the correct boot-loader and if it is properly connected to the power supply.

If these 2 points are ok and the issue still persist and you found the 3 points above (1, 2, 3), please note that your camera will require an RMA.
