Never lose track of an object of interest! Intelligent Tracking automatically zooms in to and follows a selected Intelligent Video Analytics object as far as possible with the camera. For AUTODOME / MIC IP 7000, this means automatically steering the camera to zoom in to the object and follow it. For a FLEXIDOME IP panoramic 7000, Intelligent Tracking is available in the Virtual PTZ video and steers the dewarped cut-out. For DINION / FLEXIDOME IP 7000 / 8000 cameras, Intelligent Tracking can steer a region of interest (ROI) stream. This article describes how to set Intelligent Tracking up with FW 6.30 and lists the differences based on the camera types.

BVMS is a data-driven video management system that supports predictive solutions by establishing a decision center delivering actionable insights to customers. The latest version offers a map-based tracking assistant and improved geographical awareness with online maps. Read on to learn how to configure the map-based tracking assistant. The map-based tracking assistant requires a license. Before beginning, check the license in Configuration Client by accessing the License Inspector, which is found under the Tools menu. The value of the Online map and Map-based tracking assistant licenses must list "True" in the License Limit column.

VCA (Video content analysis) is the process of automatically analyzing video images to alarm on predefined events like the detection of moving objects in the monitored area or tampering with the camera. It can also be used to gather statistics about the detected objects.     Depending on the camera type, the following VCA algorithm are available in Bosch cameras: –   Intelligent Video Analytics: Mission-critical, long-distance intrusion detection in extreme weather conditions. Detection and tracking of moving objects. –   Intelligent Video Analytics Flow: Basic motion detection of cells in a grid with velocity and direction. Used for counter flow detection in crowds. –   Essential Video Analytics: Reliable video analytics for small and medium businesses, large retail stores, commercial buildings, and warehouses. Detection and tracking of moving objects. –   MOTION+: Basic change detection of cells in a grid. Can be used to trigger recordings. –   Tamper detection: Detects camera occlusion, turning away from the monitored scene, extreme lighting conditions and basic idle / removed object detection.   If you would like to stop this setting, please follow the steps below.

Some devices that demand 60W or less are not powered by the NPD-9501A Midspan   Possible causes and solution(s) Some devices that demand 60W or less are not powered by the NPD-9501A Midspan The Midspan was released before the standards on mega poe were crystallized into accepted definitions at the IEEE standardization body. This device specifically targets to support power application to Bosch products that could not be served by lower capacity power source equipment. Using power devices that are not listed for this product in the datasheet migth result in power failure. Currently known   NPD-9501 Midspan  will not work with UHO-PoE-10 Housing   Solution   For products demanding 60W or less advise to use NPD-6001B Midspan.     NEW update To achieve a broader compatibility with switches and Midspans, for example the NPD-9501 Midspan and Cisco PoE+ switches (like C2960X, C3560CX and C9200). The UHO-POE-10 Outdoor housing received a product enhancement.   How to identify if UHO-PoE-10 is the new variant? The new batch contains products which contain SN starting with 404023113800040670 POE module is Blue, previous was Black!

Not all Cisco PoE+ switches are able to power up the UHO-PoE-10 or VSP-UHO-PoE-10 outdoor housing (F.01U.300.502, F.01U.332.052). Bosch has introduced the UHO-PoE-10 in 2014 following the IEEE802.3-2009 standards Cisco claims that the Bosch UHO-PoE-10 at startup for a short moment (around 1 micro second) exceeds maximum current peek allowed by the updated IEEE 802.3-2015 standard, allowing the PSE (Power Source Equipment) to withdraw the power as a protective measure. Due to analogue overcurrent protector components in the Cisco switch it can happen that tolerances may cause variety in behavior over different Cisco switches, even when the same model and setups are used. Currently this behavior is only known on some Cisco models. (reports were seen on C2960X, C3560CX and recently C9200.)  

Alarm functions include local inputs and relay outputs, plus motion detection in user-defined areas. If an alarm is detected, the DIVAR can: send an e-mail notification and/or FTP push sound a buzzer and/or display a warning activate local alarm output

he Project Assistant offers two ways of importing existing project data: Option 1)   Importing a   .bpassist   file, which was exported from the app at some point and which contains all information and data ever created/entered inside the app for that specific project. Simply select the "Project Assistant" mode >> click "continue" >> and press "import". Option 2)   Importing from a   tab-separated   text   file. This option may be useful, if you have existing project data, e.g. in an   Excel   spreadsheet, which you want to transfer into the Project Assistant for further use. This article deals with   option 2   and explains the steps potentially needed before you can refer to the steps explained in the following   Youtube video   ("Import from file").
