Question   How is the scriplet that sends an RCPP command on Input to another camera to close its Relay?   Answer   Find below the scriplet that on Input sends a RCPP command on Input to another camera to close its Relay 1. There are short comments in the beginning of the scriplet, that will help you to understand the logic and edit it. This should work on any camera that has input and the relay toggle is possible for any camera that has a relay.   // this is just an example IP - 192.168.10.127 //the Rcpp command to set the camera relay (output) to ON would be:  //http://192.168.10.127/rcp.xml?command=0x01c1&type=F_FLAG&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=1 // Rcpp command to To set the relay output to OFF:  // http://192.168.10.127/rcp.xml?command=0x01c1&type=F_FLAG&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0      RcpCommand closeRelay1:={Command("rcp.xml?command=0x01c1&type=F_FLAG&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=1") IP("192.168.10.127")};  if(Input(1)) then closeRelay1;    Nice to know: Where can I find the RCP documentation of Bosch camera? ⚠️ ATSL Documentation ...

When PullPointSubscription to topic "tns1:IVA" is setup with Bosch cameras,  ONVIF client only receives motion events and no Line Crossing information.   Possible causes and solution(s)   Symptoms   When doing a pull point subscription, at the Start of the events Rule Engine/LineDetector/Crossed is missing, even though the rule is configured, and is given in the GetEventProperties response. The topic name space for RuleEngine/ FieldDetector/ ObjectInside works as expected.   Causes   As of 7.84 for RTOS, 8.50 for CPP14 and 8.45 for Inteox that is working with 2 offerings in place: tns1:IVA for IVA Rules except LineCrossing, due to the definition in Onvif Interface Documentation. tns1:RuleEngine for IVA Rule LineCrossing, which is part of this topic.   Solution   1. ONVIF Client could either subscribe both to tns1:IVA and tns1:RuleEngine topics where they would not miss anything advertised. Basically, PullPointSubscription without waiting for GetEventProperties response. 2. ONVIF Client could request WS-Notify or SetSynchronizationPoint to trigger an event property. Then regardless of any subscription they can get those basic notifications via Basic Notification Interface of ONVIF. ... View more

How to search and playback recordings on VRM or SD-Card when DST Flag is activated/ deactivated.   Step-by-step guide   Time Zone   In order to determine the Time Zone values, perform the bit mask operation of the flag value with the combined bit mask value 0x1F800000 as shown below. Bits 23-28 correspond to the Time Zone bits in the Flags.   Bit                                                            Bit 31                                                               0                  01101000 0000 0100 0100 1111 0100 0001       (flag value = 0x68044f41) 00011111 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000       (combined bit mask value =0x1F800000.

Possible causes and solution(s)   Symptoms   After a complete installation of DIVAR IP System Manager and installation of BVMS + VRM + iSCSI, changing the BVRAdmin user to Limited user is not working. By pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL & holding SHIFT key, the option to switch user is displayed but it doesn’t work. Only the login as BVRAdmin is possible Another abnormal behavior that might arise is not returning to kiosk mode at all, after connecting to BVRAdmin user.   Cause   Limited user is available on DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000, if the unit has HDDs inside. Every setup with DIVAR IP System Manager, on any DIP (AIO 7000 GEN 3, AIO 4000, AIO 5000, AIO 6000) that is "00N" (without HDDs) will fail and result in a lack of a "limited user" and "kiosk mode", if you do not insert the HDDs and perform the necessary steps from the manual.   Solution   Be sure that you follow the steps as described in every DIP manual, where it is explained what needs to be done for DIPs that come without HDDs from the factory. Basically, you need to insert the HDDs (create the RAID volume if required) and perform a recovery with the 1st option that will format the volumes (⚠️ do not select the second option that overwrites with 1s and 0s every sector so that data could not be recovered anymore, this is not necessary. Option 1 would be enough).   1. Insert HDDs inside the DIP 2. Power on the unit 3. Press F7 during the boot to enter in the recovery mode 4. Select the 1st option   5. After reboot, DIVAR IP System Manager is displayed 6. Install BVMS + VRM + iSCSI and the rest of the Software packages  7. Perform another restart of the unit in order for the kiosk mode to be displayed and the limited user to log in.    Nice to know: How to access the Windows Interface (BVRAdmin account) after first configuration of DIVAR IP? ...

The following instruction describes how to configure a data partition from RAID 5 to RAID 6 on the DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 4th generation. It is not possible to directly migrate from RAID 5 to RAID 6, so the first step is to delete RAID 5 and then create RAID 6.  WARNING This procedure will remove the current logical volume in RAID5 and will therefore cause DATA LOSS.   Requirements: It is important to note that before proceeding with this process on a Bosch DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 system, it is necessary to make a backup of the data on the disk.     Step-by-step guide   1. On the startup screen, press the DEL key to enter the BIOS setup menu.   2. To proceed, enter the BIOS password.   3. Use the arrow key to navigate to the right until the second tab "Advanced", then press the down key until you reach the option "BROADCOM Configuration utility", and press enter.   4. In the Configuration utility, select the first option "Main Menu" and press enter.   5. Select the first option "Configuration Management" and press enter   6. Select the second option "Clear Configuration" and then press enter.   7. Press enter under the option "Confirm" and select "Enabled" by pressing enter again. Then, press the down key to select "Yes" and press enter.   8. After the message "The operation has been performed successfully" is displayed, press enter under "OK".   9. Select the second option "Create Virtual Drive" and then press enter.   10. Under the "Select RAID Level" option, press enter, then press the down key to select RAID6 and press enter again.   11. Press the down key until you reach the option "Select Drives" and then press enter.   12. Confirm if the HDD drives are present by pressing the down key until you reach the option "Check All" at the bottom, then press enter. 13. Press the down key once to display more options, then select "Apply Changes" and press enter.   14. After the message "The operation has been performed successfully" is displayed, press enter under "OK".   15. Use the down key to change the parameters described below to apply the best configuration for the volume, then press enter to select each one: - Strip Size: 64KB - Read Policy: Read Ahead - Write Policy: Always Write Back - Default Initialization: Fast Leave the other options at their default values. To finish this step, press the down key until you reach the last option "Save Configuration" and then press enter.   16. Press enter under the option "Confirm" and then select "Enabled" by pressing enter again.   17. Press the down key to select "Yes" and then press enter.   18. After the message "The operation has been performed successfully" is displayed, press enter under "OK".   19. The virtual drive RAID6 has been created, and a message "Virtual Drive creation was successful. All free configurable space has been used" will be displayed.   20. It's done! You can now exit the BIOS setup by pressing F4 to save and then selecting "Yes" by pressing enter. The system will start up normally.   Checking Virtual Drive Settings Additionally, if you want to check the new volume configuration, please follow steps 1 through 3 of this procedure. Then, in the Advanced Menu of the configuration utility, select the third option "Virtual Drive Management" and press enter.   The information about logical volume RAID6 will be displayed. You can now exit the BIOS setup. The initialization of the Virtual Drive will be completed automatically, no intervention is necessary.    In continuation of this topic, given that the whole device will be as new out of the box after this procedure, we recommend you to also refer to this tutorial video:  DIVAR IP all-in-one with System Manager - First time installation    For a better understanding of using DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 4th gen (DIP-74xx) we encourage you to join our free online Trainings from Bosch Building Technologies Academy! ...
