Bosch recommends that the operating systems used by the video surveillance system are constantly updated, with a maximum update cycle of 6 months. Windows updates often include fixes for recently discovered security vulnerabilities, such as the Heartbleed SSL vulnerability, which affected millions of computers worldwide.
Patches for these important issues should be installed. A major operating system update is recommended every two years. The Windows Lifecycle fact sheet (support.microsoft.com) is published by Microsoft and describes the current state of its operating systems
