Security: Video

The IP camera address is always the key if you would like to monitor or remote viewing it. Like any network device, the camera is assigned an IP address when it is connected to the router with Internet access and powered on. Here we will introduce 3 ways to find the network camera IP address quickly and easily.

This article summarizes the BVMS design details, and serves as a guide to planning a BVMS system with Bosch cameras and storage. It focuses on BVMS combined with the VRM.

RAID 5 provides basic fault tolerance with good performance, but it cannot protect against multiple drive failures. RAID 5 with a hot spare improves fault tolerance by automatically replacing failed drives, but it still has the same limitation regarding multiple drive failures. RAID 6 offers a higher level of fault tolerance by using double parity, allowing for the simultaneous failure of up to two drives without data loss. However, it has higher write overhead and requires more drives for implementation compared to RAID 5.

The solution is via a workaround using an ATSL script in the encoder to re-set the COM port baud-rate upon a reboot/restart of the encoder (which should in normal practice not happen to often).

Possible causes and solution(s) Cameras which get connected from the customer's site to Bosch Remote Portal use an outgoing connection via TCP port 42000. Outgoing connections usually are not blocked by a router, however in a corporate network with proxy server, firewall, etc. involved, the IT department might open the needed ports. The troubleshooting steps below might help you to connect cameras to Bosch Remote Portal.   Known issues on camera commissioning In most cases when camera commissioning fails, the root cause is: No connection to Bosch Security Cloud from the customer’s site Blocked Internet connectivity (e.g. blocked ports by proxy or firewall) User belongs to more than one Company in Remote Portal The camera is already commissioned to a different cloud instance Known camera firmware issues Known camera date issue Further…
