Security: Video

We found that there was a change in the way intelligent tracking worked after CPP 7.3 firmware v7.62.0005. With these changes if an object triggered an alarm that turned on intelligent tracking, the camera would not track the object. It would wait for another object to trigger an alarm to track it.

Milestone search tools (People & Vehicles) find results for other cameras. But the Bosch Forensic Search Agent finds zero results for DINION IP starlight 7000 FW v7.89. Why?

Yes, it is possible to do this setting (minimum TLS) to multiple cameras at once in Configuration Manager. You can do this change after you authenticate on those cameras. Learn more!

The RCPP command to enable/ disable the privacy masks is CONF_PRIV_MSK_POLY - 0x0bd8. Follow this article to see the rcpp command to enable & disable the privacy mask of a Bosch camera (moving or fixed).

Unsupported camera model: Auto-calibration is currently not supported for this camera model. Calibration could produce wrong results or might not work. Why is this message displayed in Configuration Manager?

“Error: Discontinuity in network stream!” appears randomly on the monitor/s connected to the VIDEOJET Decoder 7000 (7513). What could be the likely cause of this?

Preventing condensation on security cameras is crucial because it can obstruct the camera's view, affecting its ability to capture clear footage. Over time, moisture build-up can potentially damage the internal components of the camera, affecting its functionality and lifespan

Select the resolution of the JPEG images. You can choose between various <formats>: – 720P: 1280×720 pixels (only available for HD cameras). – 1080P: 1920×1080 pixels (only available for HD cameras).

The way to get Metadata in Milestone is through the Bosch Enhanced Metadata Plug-in

New check in BVMS Configuration Client has been implemented, which blocks the disabling of the "Secure connection" if camera port 1756 is disabled. This should prevent the camera from getting "unreachable" by miss-configuration of the administrator. 

During the authentication process with Bosch cameras to a RADIUS server, the event “5400 Authentication failed” occurs. Find out from this article what you can do in this case.

The configured camera TCP port is used from the BVMS Operator Client to the camera. This port is used by the BVMS Operator Client as a destination port. The source port is dynamic and therefore, it cannot be adjusted.

Hash Tag "#" is one of the few special characters, which is accepted by the camera, but it cannot be accepted on BVMS side (in order to connect to the camera) — due to the limitations of communication specifics some BVMS components are using. And as a result, communication might not work properly and "No connection" warning message in Operator Client image pane and black screen might occur

Starting with firmware 6.51.0026, clearing passwords was changed to only reset service user level password.

Does your camera show you the live view as in the image below? During day time (Color-Mode), the image is good, but as soon Night-Mode kicks-in and the IR-LED's turn on, the reflection is noticed.
