It is possible to add ONVIF compliant cameras to Bosch Video Management System as live only devices or as VSG devices (then the cameras will also record). This article explains how to add an ONVIF camera as VSG device in full Bosch Video Management System (BVMS 10.1). We recommend using Bosch Workstations and Servers. They are fully tested and optimized for Bosch Video Management System.   Article requirements: BVMS installed ONVIF camera.

This article lists the initial troubleshooting steps and concrete instructions for collecting logging for issues with ONVIF cameras, added to BVMS system. We will classify the different issue scenarios one can have using ONVIF cameras in BVMS system. Depending on the issue the article lists the required logging to start initial troubleshooting.

Logs are definitely important. We would even say they are the most important thing for a system to function properly. At some point, the Central Support Team may ask you to provide them with the BVMS Configuration Collection. This article explains you how and where you can get the BVMS Configuration Collection of your system.
