The MegaRAID controller will automatically detect if a disk has errors causing the RAID volume to be degraded. An error message will appear on the desktop of that system. The system will also generate a beeping sound indicating it needs attention:

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.  

This article describes the easiest method for adding Expansion shelves to a Base unit DSA E-Series E2600, E2700 or E2800.   This article also applies when: The amount of storage is overloaded and you need additional storage after fully populating the base shelf.   Article requirements: 1. Configuration Manager 2. Configuration Client which is included with BVMS 3. Santricity Software   Step-by-step guide      

BVMS v10.1 and  BVMS v11.0 come with a checkbox where you can logon to the Operator Client with Windows Credentials. If you want to use this function, you need to set up the BVMS Configuration Client and browse the AD users-groups. Then, the users can sign in to Operator Client with their Windows-Credentials. 

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

FW 11.50.2 must be used for Single Controllers and 11.60.2 for Dual Controllers and then updated to latest version.

At first sight, you might think that the model is the correct one that shows in the Datasheet, but the Video card is smaller than the DIP Slot.

BVMS v11.0 offers a map-based tracking assistant and improved geographical awareness with online maps. Read on to learn how to configure the map-based tracking assistant.

In order to increase system security in BVMS, it is recommended to set the Global CHAP password. This article contains the configuration steps for an existing fully operational BVMS 11.x system with no CHAP password configured.

The purpose of this article is to provide a step by step guide about how to perform backup and recovery procedures of the VRM data base in the DIVAR IP 2000 EZ Recording Appliance.   Step-by-step guide Backing Up the Working Configuration: 1.To backup the working configuration of a DIVAR IP 2000 Recording Appliance, open the Appliance's "Dashboard": 2. From the Dashboard select the "Configuration" tab in the top right hand portion of your browse:

Monitor Group gives operators flexible control over the content of a video wall or allows them to let the system take over this control automatically based on pre-defined scenarios. This article describes how to create a Monitor Group on a decoder VJD 7xxx/ 8xxx in BVMS Configuration Client

If you have the option "Extended (security)/configuration mode" active on a VIDEOJET decoder 7000 (VJD-7513) in Configuration Manager, then no video image will be shown and the BOSCH logo will be displayed at the cameo of the monitor output of the decoder. This is as designed in Configuration Manager, and this mode is to give you the opportunity to enable the SSD Encryption and to disable the USB ports. Once you are finished changing the extended security features, you must uncheck the check box and the decoder will go back to normal functioning.

If the administrator account (which was originally created when initial setup wizard was run) has been deleted locally and another new administrator account was created, then it is not possible to create user via web. Only locally is possible, as the application is still looking for the original admin account.

Alarm functions include local inputs and relay outputs, plus motion detection in user-defined areas. If an alarm is detected, the DIVAR can: send an e-mail notification and/or FTP push, sound a buzzer and/or display a warning, activate local alarm output

Port Mapping Table dialog box displays the port mapping for the IP addresses of the configured devices in your BVMS. Be aware that this option was removed starting with BVMS 11.1

It is only possible to configure a single time server per BVMS system to be used as time source for the VRM encoders.
