Security: Video

This article provides a step-by-step guide about how you can disable UPnP of Bosch IP cameras & multicast scan from Configuration Manager. One of the reason why UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled in our devices is because ONVIF uses this to scan the ONVIF device in the network.

This article lists different ways to connect to cameras Live/Playback using the Video Security Client/App: to DIVAR IP AIO/BVMS system or to Camera directly, bypassing DIVAR IP AIO/BVMS system.  

Global VCA under the VCA task in Configuration Manager is used from default on the camera (with no specific configured VCA Rules). VCA Profile: Global (from Positioning) is used to set the same height of the camera for all VCA profiles.

This article explains steb by step how to create the VCA fields for multiple presets in Configuration Manager.

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!

“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?

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

Bosch will undertake a cybersecurity best practice by disabling certain ports on the camera by default. This best practice is being undertaken to reduce potential attack surfaces and limit the exposure of sensitive services, as mentioned in our Data Security Guidebook since years.

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.

Different devices, whether cameras or encoders, offer a different amount of processing power for video content analysis (VCA).

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

If you have CPP4 cameras with 6.11 firmware (FW) version and you need to upgrade them to the latest version, normally you have to upgrade to an intermediate firmware version first. But where you can find this firmware ?

The audio file can be played using the RCP+ command CONF_AUDIO_OUTPUT (0x09b9), payload=4 (Sample), which can of course also be sent to the device itself using ATSL scripting.

Starting with firmware 7.10, an option to export from RAM recording buffer allows recording exports on the fly without requiring an SD card or external iSCSI storage.
