Security: Video

Check this article and have a look at the attached documents which describe the settings you must perform after having installed BIS and BVMS on the different computers.

In many cases a minimum and maximum retention time needs to be defined in a video surveillance systems due to legal requirements. While the minimum retention time defines the time period for how long video recordings need to be stored, the maximum retention time defines after which period of time the recordings have to be deleted. Thus, the minimum retention time is going to influence the amount of storage needed. The higher the minimum retention time the more storage space is required.

This attached document describes how Bosch Building Technologies handles the life-cycle of the BVMS, BIS, AMS, and APE, and in which state a specific release can reside.

The pop-up dialog window message: "Setup has detected a pending restart.  Please reboot the system and rerun the installation"  appears when attempting to run the valid BVMS windows installer package.

The timeline is present, but the recordings appear to be black for all cameras.

This article provides you with information related to the Windows Firewall, how to access, configure and adjust it.

This article aims to provide concerned parties, such as customers, users, operators or consultants, with an overview of data privacy and protection related features of BVMS Person Identification. Moreover, this article describes how data, as processed during the Person Identification steps, can be classified. Finally, this article lists technical measures for data protection in the context of BVMS Person Identification.

As video surveillance use grows in commercial, government and private use cases, the need for low-cost storage at scale is growing rapidly. BVMS, Bosch cameras, HPE hardware and SUSE Enterprise Storage provide a platform that is an ideal target for recording these streams.

Starting with BVMS 12.2, new OpenID Connect (OIDC) login options have been introduced. When closing the Operator Client, the user can decide to completely log off or stay logged-in.

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.

OPC server is installed on the BVMS server OPC client software is installed (the client used in this article is Softing OPC Toolbox Demo Client), and the user can connect to OPC server that is running on BVMS server, but the user cannot send any command from 3rd party OPC client to BVMS system, for example changing the status of virtual inputs. There are no events coming from OPC to BVMS and the OPC client is not present in the list for third party integrations with BVMS

In this scenario, an alarm button is connected to the Adam unit and when this input is activated (close or open), a full screen camera image shows on the display. The display is always logged in the Operator Client for live camera view on the DIVAR IP 7000 AIO.

Use the Project Assistant to its full extent and once the cameras are connected to the target network, perform a network scan using the BVMS Configuration Client

Log4j 1.2.17 is not actively used or called by the SQL Server or by the BVMS. This means that the vulnerabilities are not exploitable unless you install some additional components that refer to the vulnerable component. Therefore, there is no risk of exploitation within the SQL Server or BVMS environment.

This document is specifically for DIP-71xx as it's the DIP which supports certain versions of BVMS (regular BVMS installer) and must be updated in a certain order. The document details how to upgrade from BVMS v8 to BVMS v12.0.1.

This document is specifically for DIP-73xx as it's the only DIP with Software Center. The document details how to upgrade all the way from BVMS 10.1 with Software Center and to BVMS 12.1 with System Manager 2.3 

Regular BVMS 12.1 installer will not run on any DIVAR IP all-in-one platform. The upgrade shall be performed via DIVAR IP System Manager application. Usually, we recommend to upgrade BVMS in steps. Each version should not be more than ~two years apart. This prevents potential issues in the upgrade process.

In the Logbook, you can search for particular events, alarms, devices, and strings of events.  You have the possibility to save the BVMS Operator Client alarm logbook, before accepting and clearing it.
