Use the project assistant to commission multi-camera projects and generate project reports. Available for Windows and iOS and Android. 

This article is focused on a method of creating a new profile with own parameters and make this new profile active.

AI Alarm Verification is applicable to Bosch Remote Portal cameras and 3rd party cameras**, for sites in Alarm Management which support alarm clip upload. 

A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. You can use different authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. Therefore, you must always start from the highest authorization level when assigning passwords. This article will guide you step by step to set the destination password for decoders.

Starting with BVMS 10.0, ONVIF encoder events can be retrieved from VSG or ONVIF encoder directly. Additionally to ONVIF profile S, BVMS 10.0 supports ONVIF profile T.

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

The RCP documentation can be found in the Firmware .zip file on the product page.

If BVMS and VRM are installed on the same machine, it is needed to change the TCP Port of the VRM Monitor.

This article lists different ways to connect to cameras Live/Playback using the Video Security Client/App: to DIVAR IP AIO/BVMS system or to Camera directly, bypassing DIVAR IP AIO/BVMS system.  

Have a look in this article to learn how you can add ONVIF cameras to Configuration Manager through VSG managed by VRM.

Bosch will undertake a cybersecurity best practice by disabling certain ports on the camera by default. This best practice is being undertaken to reduce potential attack surfaces and limit the exposure of sensitive services, as mentioned in our Data Security Guidebook since years.

In this solution article a questionnaire for a first basic analysis of a reported issue is described. This checklist is intended to help to identify and resolve known issues immediately and to collect relevant data in case of an unknown issue. 

This article contains 2 options describing the way you can find the Firmware version of your DSA unit, in case the Central Technical Support team is asking you about it or if you simply want to find it by yourself. Check out this article!

If one of DIVARs IP 5000 AIO is selected on a user profile, the Operator Client opens the site and works fine. One message is displayed when two or more DIVARs are added into the same Enterprise system.   If you already have a DIP 5000 AIO into your Enterprise system and you want to add additional units but you receive the following message, you can solve this by using the steps below: "Server of configuration database is already in the server list. Remove either the server that is twice in the list or make sure that the configuration database is not cloned between servers."

The IEEE standards in computer networks ensure communication between various devices; it also helps to make sure that the network service, i.e., the Internet and its related technologies, must follow a set of guidelines and practices so that all the networking devices can communicate and work smoothly. Depending on the camera model, the PoE IEEE standard used could be different.

This article describes how to enable BVMS Scriplet logging. You can log to the Server Script log or the Client Script log. Logs are default send to C:\ProgramData\Bosch\VMS\Log   1.Creating Log files ClientScriptLogger – automatically created Creates file “ClientScriptLog.txt” ServerScriptLogger - automatically created  Creates file “ServerScriptLog.txt”   2.Log information to the log files There are 3 methods to log information: Log Info Log Error Log Debug   Examples: [Scriptlet("59c4d66e-9395-4dcc-8d27-90dc2b7a00c4")] public void DemoLogger() { //use refence:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 MessageBox.Show("Hello World"); Logger.Info("Hello World script started"); Logger.Error("Hello World script started"); Logger.Debug("Hello World script started"); // Not writing to ClientScriptLog.txt ! }   3.Logging Location - C:\ProgramData\Bosch\VMS\Log. The logs are automatically collected by the BVMS Configuration Collection Tool. 4.Changing the location of the BVMS Scriplet Logging.   Server Scripts : Logging Directory can be found in the file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bosch\VMS\AppData\Server\CentralServer\BvmsLogCfg.xml and is defined by the ServerScriptLogAppender path: Default: </appender> <appender name="ServerScriptLogAppender" type="Bosch.Vms.Shared.Logging.Imp.RollingFileAppender, Bosch.Vms.Shared.Logging.Imp"> <file value="%CommonApplicationData%\\Bosch\\VMS\\Log\\ServerScriptLog.txt"/>   Client Scripts : Logging Directory can be found in the file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bosch\VMS\AppData\Client\OpClient\ApplicationWiring\Nvr\LogCfg.xml and is defined by the ClientScriptLogAppender path: Default: </appender> <appender name=“ClientScriptLogAppender" type="Bosch.Vms.Shared.Logging.Imp.RollingFileAppender, Bosch.Vms.Shared.Logging.Imp"> <file value="%CommonApplicationData%\\Bosch\\VMS\\Log\\ClientScriptLog.txt"/>

Camera Counter Reports are available on Bosch IP cameras capable of Essential Video Analytics or Intelligent Video Analytics, which are connected directly to the Remote Portal.
