The “inactivity” algorithm from this article will move the camera to Pre-position 99 in the Alarm Task scripting.

PTZ camera (Autodome IP starlight) doesn't move in Pan or Tilt direction. This is a basic troubleshooting guide that will help you to fix this issue.

By checking the Zoom threshold box you will select the current zoom position at which the mask will appear as the camera zooms in or be hidden as the camera zooms out.

This article provides a step-by-step guide about how you can disable UPnP of Bosch IP cameras & multicast scan from Configuration Manager. One of the reason why UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled in our devices is because ONVIF uses this to scan the ONVIF device in the network.

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.

This article explains you how and where you can get the logs of your camera. The system logs are extremely useful for troubleshooting recurring or obscure problems, as they provide a record of all work performed on the system and may shed light on hard-to-spot interactions between seemingly unrelated symptoms.  

⚠️ NOTE: This procedure is the same for all 2U and 3U systems and is also applicable for DIP 7000 AIO GEN3 , except 3108 FW might be different, depends on the exact model.

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

Operator Client helps you display the original full image circle of a panoramic camera, its image dewarped or you can select a point of interest of the image.

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

Find out from this article how to pass a special connection string to request a multicast stream via RTSP from a BOSCH IP camera or IP encoder.

Follow the steps from this article and find out how you can remotely view and collect the system's event log through IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface).

If you have CPP4 cameras with 6.11 firmware (FW) version and you need to upgrade them to the latest version, normally you have to upgrade to an intermediate firmware version first. But where you can find this firmware ?

Question   What should you know about SNMP and Bosch cameras SNMP support?   Answer   This article explains briefly the basics of SNMP. Declares the basic terms of the protocol. It also explains what part of the protocol is supported by Bosch cameras. Basics of SNMP and terms. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a common protocol to monitor the health  status of a system. Such a monitoring system typically has a central management server that  collect all the data from the system’s compatible components and devices.  SNMP provides two methods to gain the system health status: –The network management server can poll the health status of a device via SNMP requests. –Devices can actively notify the network management server about their system health status in case of error or alarm conditions through sending SNMP traps to the SNMP server. Such traps must be configured inside the device. Details how to configure Bosch camera to send SNMP traps - How to activate the SNMP and configure sending SNMP traps from Bosch cameras?   SNMP also allows configuration of some variables inside devices and components. The information, which messages a device supports and which traps it can send, is derived from the Management Information Base, the so-called MIB file, a file that is delivered with a product for easy integration into a network monitoring system. There are three different version of the SNMP protocol: –SNMP version 1 SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) is the initial implementation of the SNMP protocol. It is widely used and has become the de facto standard protocol for network management and monitoring. But SNMPv1 has become under threat due to its lack of security features. It only uses ‘community strings’ as a kind of passwords, which are transmitted in clear text.Thus, SNMPv1 shall only be used when it can be assured that the network is physically protected against unauthorized access. –SNMP version 2 SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) included improvements in security and confidentiality, amongst others, and introduced a bulk request to retrieve large amounts of data in a single request. However, its security approach was considered way too complex,hindering its acceptance. Thus, it was soon pushed out by version SNMPv2c, which equals SNMPv2 but without its controversial security model, reverting to the community-based method from SNMPv1instead, similarly lacking security. –SNMP version 3 SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) mainly adds security and remote configuration enhancements. These include improvements on confidentiality by encryption of packets, message integrity and authentication. It also addresses large-scale deployment of SNMP.   Bosch cameras SNMP To check what SNMP version does a particular camera support, check the data sheet of the device. (Find it under your device in the product catalogue - https://www.boschsecurity.com/xc/en/product-catalog/) since FW 6.40 onwards Bosch devices support SNMP v1 legacy and SNMP v3  

First recommendation would be to configure the mode for IVA as a trigger, setting IVA as Profile 1 for “trigger off” and IVA as silent for “trigger on”.

The bubble is made of Polycarbonate. This material provides high impact resistance. Its optical clarity is comparable to glass or acrylic, although its surface is much softer. Special care is required when handling and cleaning the bubble to avoid scratching it.

With fw7.70 a new feature was introduced that allows you to tune the scene for Day and Night separately using 2 custom scene modes. This article explains how to switch the scene modes Custom mode#1 & Custom mode#2 based on Day or Night for Bosch cameras

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 ?
