This article explains what is the Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR) in Bosch cameras.

This article explains what is the difference between video coding H264 and H265 (Bosch cameras).

This article explains if is it possible to enable Remote Desktop on DIVAR IP all-in-one 6000 and connect on it remotely.

This article explains why the Live view shows ‘Authentication failed’ in Video Security App.

Find out from this article how to configure a singe mode VIF on NetApp array. For example if we have 2 (or more) physical interfaces, how to connect them to different network segments and, if one of the segments fails, the second network interface to step in automatically?

Aside from configuring the camera using its own browser, there are other tools you can use to setup the camera. The choice when using which tool will come down to the individual installer. Their experience and know-how of the tool will dictate which one they will use. 

What FW versions did Crowd Density Estimation get removed from IVA Pro? What to use in replacement for Crowd Density Estimation? How to remove the unrecognized task?

By default, the DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 devices are intended to operate with one or two local monitors, connected to HDMI interfaces on the rear of the unit. If NO HDMI is connected, then iKVM over BMC port is active and available. In this case, it is supported to remove VGA cover and use it as local admin monitor, not to run the Operator Client.

Bosch's Remote System Management service allows you to leverage the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide secure, transparent, and cost-effective asset management throughout the lifecycle of a video system. This service enables end users, system integrators and installers to perform inventory and update management, as well as health monitoring tasks for an entire Bosch video system (DIVAR IP + BVMS + cameras) from one centralized Remote Portal platform.

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.

The Cameo SDK is only backwards compatible, same as the Operator Client. According to the BVMS - Upgrade and Migration guides (boschsecurity.com)

The BVMS Logbook database can be moved to another SQL Server. This article describes the steps that are necessary to migrate the database and describes how to confirm if the migration was successful.   BVMS is using Microsoft SQL Server Express to store its logbook. Based on the information provided by Microsoft (Compare SQL Server 2017 editions), SQL Server Express is limited to a 10GB database size. This could be insufficient for larger installations or installations that require a very long logbook retention time. Additionally, some organizations have a dedicated SQL server environment which should be utilized by all applications. The BVMS Logbook database can be moved to another SQL Server. This guide describes the steps that are necessary to migrate the database and describes how to confirm if the migration was successful.

Question   What to do when MIC IP camera is unable to perform the Object Classification in IVA detection?   Answer   Based on examples of target objects and non-target objects, the Camera Trainer program uses machine learning to allow the user to define objects of interest and generate detectors for them. Using Configuration Manager, you can configure the Camera Trainer program using both live video as well as recordings available through your MIC IP cameras. The camera also includes the latest release of Intelligent Video Analytics application for use on prepositions. Designed for mission-critical applications, the video analytics can reliably detect, track, and analyze moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image, even in harsh weather conditions. Advanced tasks like multiple line crossing, loitering, idle / removed object detection, crowd density estimation, occupancy and people counting are available for live alarming and forensic search. Object filters based on size, speed, direction, aspect ratio, and color can be defined. In order to perform Object Classification correctly, please make sure that you have correctly: set the correct Orientation     Save all the pre-positions again if the orientation stetting is changed calibrated the camera A simplified calibration mode reduces installation time significantly because you only need to enter the installation height once for each camera, independent of pre-positions. After the camera is calibrated, the analytics engine can automatically classify objects as upright person, car, bike, or truck.) enabled 3D tracking set it up the tasks and followed the VCA manual.   Please see an overview of object classification in the following article: How to set up object classification with video analytics

Should the inverter produce a sine/sinusoidal wave, a square wave or other?

IVA pro Buildings pack and Traffic pack on CPP14 use the following resolutions: 1280x720 resolution for 25/30 fps base rate,  1024x576 resolution for 50/60 fps base rate.

Mercury vapor lights are banned in many countries. There are a variety of phosphor coatings used by different lighting brands resulting in different color temperatures.

Please note that this recommendation might help, but cannot guarantee the high quality of the image. It depends on the camera FoV and the environment where the camera is installed.
