8 Connection via the web browser
This device can be accessed via a web browser to configure, control, receive live images,
and replay stored video.
For best experience, use Microsoft Internet Explorer browser with the Bosch MPEG-ActiveX
plugin. This enables these functions:
– Native Bosch video decoder.
– Video analytics overlays.
– Video analytics configuration.
– Live Page: snapshot and record to PC.
– Status icon overlays.
Optionally, these tools can be used to configure the device:
– Project Assistant app: user friendly software to change basic device configurations and
set fields of view. Available in iOS, Android, and Windows.
– Configuration Manager: advanced configuration software available for Windows.
Download the software from https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com.
8.1 System requirements
The system recommendations are:
– Computer with Intel Skylake processor or better.
– Intel HD530 graphic card with performance that matches or is better than the
resolution of the device.
– Windows 7 (or later) operating system.
– Network access.
Application software: VideoSecurityClient, BVMS or Project Assistant app.
8.2 Establishing the connection
The device must have a valid IP address to operate on the network and a compatible subnet
mask.
By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory On plus Link-Local so a DHCP server assigns an IP
address or, if no DHCP server is available, a link local address (auto-IP) is assigned within
the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
The Project Assistant app or Configuration Manager can be used to find the IP address.
Download the software from https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com:
1. Start the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the device as the URL.
3. During the initial installation, confirm any security questions that show.
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication), you must
configure the device before the device can communicate with the network.
To configure the device, connect it directly to a computer using a network cable and then
set the service-level password.
8.3 Password protection in camera
The device is password-protected. The first time that any user accesses the device, the
device will prompt the user to set a password at the service level.
The camera requires a strong password. Follow the prompts in the dialog box, which
specifies what is required. The system measures the strength of the password that you
enter.
