Security: Video

This Video should help you to understand, what calibration means, why and when to calibrate the cameras.

MTU stands for "Maximum Transmission Unit." MSS stands for "Maximum Segment Size"

The camera may be out of focus during a rapid zoom change if: There is a large amount of reflection with full sunlight. Or, there are headlights or bright lights present at night. This problem occurs most often when used in traffic applications.   Causes:   The camera tries to focus on the bright lights and fails to find the correct focus position (example snapshot of headlights below). Find how you can fix this issue from this article!

This camera does not have the auto-focus functionality in the same sense as Autodome / Mic cameras.

If you are wondering where can be configured the field of view and focus of the FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i,  without  having to touch the camera or lens, this article will provide you the answer. 

For certain conditions, MIC cameras will display status codes on the video image. What does "status 9" mean on the MIC IP ultra 7100i │ MIC IP starlight 7100i camera's web page ?

This guideline will help you set the position of the camera  image to an appropriate one . If the picture of the camera is inverted in the live view, please follow the steps below to reverse it.

PTZ camera (Autodome IP starlight) doesn't move in Pan or Tilt direction. This is a basic troubleshooting guide that will help you to fix this issue.

Hardware change in FLEXIDOME IP 4000i 5000i causes update in minimum FW version 7.60

This article provides a background information about syslog, tips for 3 rd party Syslog server options and step by step instructions how to configure, activate and collect the syslog.

This article contains detailed examples for the absolute position functions of the various IP models of the Autodome & MIC cameras. The support model series are: • Current Models: AUTODOME IP 4000/5000, AUTODOME IP 4000i/5000i, VG5 IP 7000, MIC IP 7000 & MIC IP 7000i, MIC IP 9000i • EOL models: VG5 700, VG5-800, JR HD NOTES: 1. These commands will NOT work with either the Analog cameras with the serial interface. 2. The HD cameras do not support the OSRD absolute position commands. The HD models operate using the BICOM protocol over IP.

Traffic detector has been developed to cope with all traffic densities up to high density like congestions and queues in front of traffic lights. It also detects non-moving vehicles and is thus applicable for smart parking. In addition to vehicles, it also detects pedestrians. Applications  Tunnels & Highways: o Collection of traffic statistics o Detection of congestions for automatic speed signaling o Detection of wrong way driving  Intersections: o Detecting presence and volume of vehicles  Smart parking: o Detect parked cars

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.

This article  describes idle and removed object detection with Intelligent or Essential Video Analytics in FW 6.30, how to configure it and what the limitations are.   Applications: - Detect parked cars in no-parking zones - Detect blocked emergency exits - Detect the removal of museum exhibits - Detect suspiciously left packages in high-security areas - Detect idle bags in walk-through areas Limitations: - Not available on thermal cameras - Does not work in crowds - No abandoned baggage detection - No differentiation between baggage and persons sitting or lying down - Does not work in front of moving background like wind in trees or water - Does not work during illumination changes or camera brightness adaptations

This article describes the camera tamper detection options available with FW 6.30: Scene too dark / bright, global change, reference image check. Applications: - Detect camera blinding - Detect camera being moved away from of its view - Detect the loss of sufficient overall illumination - Detect idle / removed objects, e.g. objects in front of an emergency exit Limitations: - Not available on thermal cameras

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.  

Please upgrade your camera to the latest FW version available on   Download Area webpage   (go to the Firmware tab > select Cameras and Encoders > INTEOX > click “Select” button) > download the latest firmware and upgrade your camera Default camera to factory setting after FW upgrade Install the MPEG ActiveX If the behavior is still present, please provide the Central Technical Support team with the Maintenance and Diagnostics logs from the camera; as well: a clear picture from the System overview of the camera (How to collect logs from your Bosch IP Camera/Encoder?) You can refer also to the following article which may be useful in this case: Which Browser is supported for Bosch cameras (web interface)? Other useful information can be found on the article below where you will find out the CPP version of Bosch IP cameras. Thus, you will know which firmware you should use for upgrading your device: Which CPP corresponds to certain cameras and encoders?   Important!   Please always check the system requirements section from Firmware Release Letter. According to the Release Letter of   CPP13 INTEOX   cameras, Firmware version   7.75.0008   the System Requirements are the following: Configuration Manager   7.30 or newer Web Browsers: o Mozilla Firefox o Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or higher (only for Bosch FW functionality, not for local app management)

Usually, the   azimuth   is used when you want to teach the camera where it is located on the map (Geolocation). The direction into which the camera looks is described by the   azimuth   angle. Azimuth - The pan angle from zero to 359 degrees in one-degree increments.

This article explains how to integrate the Bosch MIC IP 7000 HD camera series into any existing analog CCTV system using the Bosch VIDEOJET decoder 3000. The most common integration scenarios are listed below: Simple integration using direct connectivity to analog monitor and joystick, typically found in single camera installation (for example, mobile surveillance vehicles) Integration into an existing analog matrix switcher typically found in large installations (such as for city surveillance)

An object moving or a low/ higher contrast scene can throw off the autofocus option, resulting in a soft focus or even not focus at all. Using manual focus is an obvious solution, but manual focus isn’t exactly easy to get sharp images. Manual focus requires a bit of know-how and some practice to get right. If you would like to   improve the performance   and   get a sharp image, please see below how you can manually adjust the focus ring on a Dinion Thermal camera.
