Security: Video

In this section you can find details on what information is required during the troubleshooting process to successfully identify a unit in terms of model number, firmware version and unique identifiers.  What is also very important always for the troubleshooting is the DIVAR Service log.  In addition to that, in some situations network captures from the DIVAR may also be required.  

When dealing with 3rd party or VSG, it’s recommended to get at-least "1" I-frame every second (normal scene).

This recommendation could be applied if the storage is overloaded, as there are several Onvif cameras running through it.

The method from this article shows you how to generate an updated certificate for Bosch IP Camera's and VRM Servers

The Release Letter for CPP 7.72.1118 provides information about the dependencies between firmware versions for a better understanding of the upgrade process of devices with older firmware.

Using power devices that are not listed for this product in the datasheet might result in power failure.

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 ?

Question   What to do when MIC IP camera is unable to perform the Object Classification in IVA detection?   Answer   Based on examples of target objects and non-target objects, the Camera Trainer program uses machine learning to allow the user to   define objects of interest and generate detectors for them. Using Configuration Manager, you can configure the Camera Trainer program using both live video as well as recordings available through your MIC IP cameras. The camera also includes the latest release of Intelligent Video Analytics application for use on prepositions. Designed for mission-critical applications, the video analytics can reliably detect, track, and analyze moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image, even in harsh weather conditions. Advanced tasks like multiple line crossing, loitering, idle / removed object detection, crowd density estimation, occupancy and people counting are available for live alarming and forensic search. Object filters based on size, speed, direction, aspect ratio, and color can be defined. In order to   perform Object Classification correctly, please make sure that you have correctly: set the correct Orientation     Save all the pre-positions again if the orientation stetting is changed calibrated the camera A simplified calibration mode reduces installation time significantly because you only need to enter the installation height once for each camera, independent of pre-positions. After the camera is calibrated, the analytics engine can automatically classify objects as upright person, car, bike, or truck.) enabled 3D tracking set it up the tasks and followed the VCA manual.   Please see an  overview of object classification in the  following article: How to set up object classification with video analytics

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

Hint: A) If you would like to search for the   BVMS version   that can be used according to the   firmware version of your DSA E2800, please check the following link: Fix random reboot of NETAPP DSA E2800 (dual controller) by updating its Firmware  

HD Decoders are not downgrade-able lower than the factory default version. All Video Management Systems should not have issues with newer Firmware. All their implemented functions should work. NOTE: All new stock of VJD-8000 gets version 9.51 due to Security Vulnerabilities.   Please also see: Which Bosch encoders and decoders are compatible with BVMS?  

According to the   BVMS 11. Release notes   >   2.2. Removed functionality chapter   > The digital monitor wall functionality has been removed. This removal has impact on the BVMS Viewer →   Decoders are not supported anymore in BVMS Viewer   starting with   version 11.0 Other devices and functions that have been removed to ensure software security: Map migration (removed Autodesk design review installation) SMS gateway Dibos/ BRS Note:   The Monitor Group functionality is still available in BVMS Professional/ Plus/ Lite.

What can be done when 3rd party camera is flashing between image and Bosch logo in Operator Client?

With the DSA E2800 Bosch introduced Multipathing. It is a fault-tolerance technique that defines more than one physical path between the camera and its iSCSI storage devices through redundant network connections. When using this feature, recording of video data and replaying video data is possible even in case of an iSCSI controller failure. To ensure also that outages of infrastructure equipment (e.g. Switch) could be covered, we recommend following Interconnection.

Summary:   FW 11.50.2 must be used for Single Controllers and 11.60.2 for Dual Controllers   Overview:   In Q1 of the year 2020 the BU BT-VS announced that NetApp forces to update all systems E2800 to newer firmware than 11.40.x. At that time, it was strongly recommended to go to version 11.50.2 and in February 2020 recommendation was given for 11.50.R2  The version 11.50.R2 was forced by NetApp to get proper NetApp support services while valid warranty contract is active and to fix vulnerability aspects.   General Note:   Newer   NetApp controller   firmware   might be approved and   qualified by BOSCH.  (e.g. status 08/2020 there is an 11.60.2 qualified by BOSCH) - Details can always be found at the BOSCH   product catalogue  and  Release Note All customers owning a NetApp storage system with valid warranty agreement and registered unit do have access to the public announcement of NetApp. This was announced by NetApp on their support websites (see https://mysupport.netapp.com/).   Please follow our BOSCH Knowledge Base and monitor for updates at this article for important news.  The BOSCH sub model ID 356 ensures that the NetApp system is optimized for 24/7 video recording.

Not all Cisco PoE+ switches are able to power up the UHO-PoE-10 or VSP-UHO-PoE-10 outdoor housing (F.01U.300.502, F.01U.332.052). Bosch has introduced the UHO-PoE-10 in 2014 following the IEEE802.3-2009 standards Cisco claims that the Bosch UHO-PoE-10 at startup for a short moment (around 1 micro second) exceeds maximum current peek allowed by the updated IEEE 802.3-2015 standard, allowing the PSE (Power Source Equipment) to withdraw the power as a protective measure. Due to analogue overcurrent protector components in the Cisco switch it can happen that tolerances may cause variety in behavior over different Cisco switches, even when the same model and setups are used. Currently this behavior is only known on some Cisco models. (reports were seen on C2960X, C3560CX and recently C9200.)
