What to do if my Bosch Camcorder is not operational after a firmware upload?

  Gordon RiveraJul 29, 2025
  If your Bosch Camcorder is not operational following a firmware upload, it could be due to a couple of reasons. If there was a power failure during the firmware programming, it is necessary to have the unit checked by Customer Service and replaced if necessary. Alternatively, the issue might be an incorrect firmware file. To resolve this, enter the IP address of the unit followed by /main.htm in your Web browser and repeat the upload, ensuring that you only use CPP14 firmware files.

  If your Bosch Camcorder isn't establishing a connection or transmitting images, several factors could be at play. First, verify all configuration parameters, and if needed, revert to factory default settings. Next, inspect all cables, plugs, contacts, and connections for any faults. Ensure the IP address is correct by using the ping command. Similarly, check data transmission within the LAN using ping. Lastly, if the maximum number of connections has been reached, wait for a connection to become available before attempting to transmit again.

Why does my Bosch Camcorder web browser contain empty fields?

  Andre MurrayAug 21, 2025
  If your web browser shows empty fields while using the Bosch Camcorder, it might be due to an active proxy server in your network. To fix this, create a rule in your local computer's proxy settings to exclude local IP addresses.
