1.1 Additional tools required
The table that follows is a list of additional tools (not supplied by Bosch) required to install an
AUTODOME camera or its accessories:
Quantity Tool
1 roll Teflon tape
1 tube Weatherproof sealant, neutral cure type, electronic grade
-- Appropriate fasteners (of corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a
diameter of 10 mm (3/8 in.)), and anchors as necessary, dependent on
the surface to which the mount is attached
1.2 System requirements
Our recommendations are:
– Computer with Dual core HyperThreading processor or better
– Graphic card with performance that matches or is better than the resolution of the
camera
– Windows10 or later
– Network access
– Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox
- or -
Application software, for example, VideoSecurityClient, BoschVideoClient or BVMS.
1.3 Establishing the connection
The unit must have a valid IP address and a compatible subnet mask to operate on your
network. By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On and so your DHCP server assigns an
IP address. With no DHCP server the default address is 192.168.0.1
The Project Assistant app or Configuration Manager (version 7.50 or higher) 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.
IP cameras from Bosch have many ways to connect.
The core communication protocol is called RCP+ (Remote Control Protocol plus), which
handles the connections between camera and connected clients.
Every camera can handle a maximum of 128 RCP+ connections, from which a few are used
internally, making 100+ external RCP+ connections possible for unicast, multi-unicast, or
multicast connections.
A video connection also requires one or two such connections, depending on the access
method. Assuming the accumulated requested bitrate does not exceed the available network
interface bandwidth, a minimum of five unicast connections is possible.
