3. If your camera is not listed in the tested cameras and is not listed on the ONVIF website as Profile S conformant, we cannot help you when you have an issue with this device. You should approach the device manufacturer to certify the device as ONVIF Profile S conformant.

For example, if you have an Axis camera, M1004 model, please fill in your product details in the Application Type, Profile(s), Manufacturer and the Product Name fields, under the Product Search option, and press on the “Search” button:

3. If your device is ONVIF profile S compliant you can contact Bosch Central Technical Support and request assistance.

2. Cameras not listed as tested are not owned by Bosch. Solving issues might take longer as it requires collaboration with the camera vendor.
3. Bosch support teams might need to refer to the camera manufacturer’s support line to help fixing the issue.
4. We consider the firmware listed on the ONVIF website as the minimum firmware version of a camera. Please let us know if you run into issues with newer firmware versions so that we can investigate those accordingly. If the problem is a firmware regression, we might need to refer you to the camera manufacturer for support.
