This article describes how to configure a generic Microsoft Windows Server (2012 R2, 2016 or 2019) based server to serve as an iSCSI target for a Bosch video surveillance environment. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is most commonly used for the communication between computers and peripheral devices, such as hard drives. iSCSI enables devices to use SCSI over a network interface, therefore it makes a lot of sense for cameras to use iSCSI to record video. The camera is a small computer that needs a (network) connection to a "hard drive" to store video footage. In other systems this job is performed by the network video recorder (NVR).

The support of Bosch Site Monitor App for iOS and Android devices will end by 31 st  of June 2024. Bosch Video Security App will be the replacement, which is available in the Google Play Store as well as the Apple App Store for download.

The default behavior of VRM is to redirect requests from "HTTP" to "HTTPS" via the HSTS setting. Never change VRM or any device settings via CM if they are managed by BVMS - BVMS will revert the settings back to previous state as set in BVMS Cc

At some point of the troubleshooting process, the customers might be asked to force the VRM to do a full initial discovery.
