Maximum Number of Connections
If you do not connect, the unit may have reached its maximum number of connections.
Depending on the unit and network configuration, each camera can have up to 50 Web
browser connections or up to 100 connections via the Bosch Video Management System
(BVMS).
Protected Network
If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights (802.1x
authentication), the camera must be configured accordingly, otherwise no communication is
possible.
16.2 Configuring the Camera
To operate the camera in your network, you must assign a valid network IP address to it. If
your network has a DHCP server, the IP address of the camera defaults to the first address
available. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the default IP address of the camera is
192.168.0.1. You may need to change this address if it conflicts with another device on your
network. Refer to the section Network > Network Access for more information.
To configure the camera properly for your network, you need the following information:
– Unit IP address: An identifier for the camera on a TCP/IP network. For example,
140.10.2.110 is a valid syntax for an IP address.
– Subnet mask: A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
– Gateway IP address: A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network.
– Port: An endpoint to a logical connection in TCP/IP and UDP networks. The port number
identifies the use of the port for use through a firewall connection.
Notice!
Ensure that the network parameters of your cameras are available before you begin
configuration.
The camera defaults are as follows:
– IP Address: 192.168.0.1 or first available address (see above)
– Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
– Gateway IP Address: 0.0.0.0
The following sections provide instructions about installing the software necessary to view
images over an IP connection, configuring the IP network settings and accessing the camera
images from a Web browser.
The camera has a default IP address of 192.168.0.1. To change the IP address or any network
settings, you can use the Configuration Manager software or the built-in Web server.
Notice!
Contact your local network administrator for a valid IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Gateway
IP Address.
Using the Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager is an optional network utility provided on the Bosch Security Systems
Web site. Use the Configuration Manager Manual to make any configuration changes.
