In Cloud VMS there are different user roles involved who can add a Bosch IP camera:
- Installer:
The Installer mounts the camera on-site, connects it to the Internet and commissions the camera to Cloud VMS with Camera Quick Install website.
The Installer also performs VCA (motion detection) configuration if required and verifies the triggers from the camera.
- Integrator:
The Integrator configures the Account in Cloud VMS Configuration website and adds the camera to the related site
