    How to configure the VideoView+ service incl. push alarm notification?

    Bosch Remote Portal provides the VideoView+ Service which allows to display live video, replay of recorded video on the camera, and a forensic search on Video Security Client.

    Further the Video Security App (on iOS and Android) can receive push alarm notifications triggered by motion in the camera image, for example.

    This article explains how to configure this service to receive push alarm notifications.

     

    To get Push Alarm Notifications working, the following steps need to be performed.

     

    Step-by-step guide

     

    1. Configure your cameras in the local network with Bosch Configuration Manager.

     

    1. Download Bosch Configuration Manager from https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com and install it on your Windows computer.
    2. Scan the local network and configure your cameras accordingly (e.g. camera name, stream settings, recording settings, motion detection, etc.)

     

    2. Add your cameras to Bosch Remote Portal in the local network with Bosch Configuration Manager.

     

    1. Create your company in Bosch Remote Portal (if not yet done) according to How to create a company's account in Bosch Remote Portal.
      In case you use SingleKey ID or a customer's IDP to login to Remote Portal, go to user settings and generate a technical password. You can use the technical password in Configuration Manager to connect to your Remote Portal account for the next 8 hours.
    2. Go to Configuration manager and multi-select the cameras to be added to Bosch Remote Portal in the camera list > select Connectivity > set Operation to ON and click the Save button.

    ⚠️ Important note: For an easy license management we recommend to create separate Remote Portal accounts for your end customers, otherwise license management will become challenging. Especially with Auto-Renew on it could happen that licenses of a customer A, get assigned to and consumed by cameras of customers B, who never bought a license.

     

    3. Group your cameras in Bosch Remote Portal
