With the release of the DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 gen4 (DIP-74xx), a new tool is available for health monitoring and log gathering, it essentially replaces SuperMicro’s SuperDoctor5; the ASUS Inband Tool. This tool operates as a service on the DIP and provides a webpage with hardware health monitoring options, hardware status details, and hardware information, as well as an option to export logs and run reports.

The internal logs are directly located in the folder C:\ProgramData\Bosch\VMS\Log and then are named like "CameoSdkLog_Instance1.txt.0".  To activate the Cameo SDK logging, the "Init" button has to be pressed after setting the checkbox "Internal logging" and entering an instance name - then logging is activated with the given instance name (e.g. "Instance1").

This article describes how to configure a generic Microsoft Windows Server (2012 R2, 2016 or 2019) based server to serve as an iSCSI target for a Bosch video surveillance environment. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is most commonly used for the communication between computers and peripheral devices, such as hard drives. iSCSI enables devices to use SCSI over a network interface, therefore it makes a lot of sense for cameras to use iSCSI to record video. The camera is a small computer that needs a (network) connection to a "hard drive" to store video footage. In other systems this job is performed by the network video recorder (NVR).

DIP serial number can be found in 2 ways. IPMI information cannot be found within the software and is provided on the device itself. It can be found next to the BMC/IPMI port on the back of the device.
