For remote VCA configuration of Remote Portal cameras, please start the Bosch Configuration Manager on your computer and connect to your Remote Portal account to configure your cameras.
For cameras with firmware versions earlier than 7.80,

for remote VCA configuration please continue using the Internet Explorer 11 with Video SDK or MPEG ActiveX v6.36.0233 installed, and Active X components being allowed in the browser,
or use the Bosch Configuration Manager in the local camera network (= local VCA configuration).
