5 Ethernet Connection (IP models)

5.1 About the Ethernet Connection

The NEI-30 transmits video and control over a standard TCP/IP network using the built-in web server through which users can configure the display settings and the operating settings of the camera, and the parameters of the network to which the camera is connected. The NEI-30 connects to a 10 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX network either directly or via a hub. In addition, power can be supplied to IP camera models via the Ethernet cable compliant with Power-over-Ethernet Plus (PoE+) (IEEE 802.3at standard).

CAUTION!

Make Ethernet connections (Cat-5e or Cat-6; maximum distance 100 m (328 ft)) to non-exposed (indoor) networks only.

WARNING!

IP camera models can accept power from the 12 VDC / 24 VAC power input or from the Ethernet input. Ensure that the camera receives power from only one source.

5.2 Connecting the NEI-30 to the PC

1. Install the NEI-30 according to the instructions.
2. Make the desired connection between the Ethernet cable and the camera.
3. Option A: Connect the RJ45 connector on the camera to a dedicated network switch to bypass the Local Area Network (LAN), and then connect the dedicated network switch to the RJ45 connector on the PC.
4. Option B: Connect the RJ45 connector on the camera directly to the PC.

6 Manual Camera Settings

Most camera settings can be adjusted remotely via CTFID software (for analog models; refer to the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices User Manual at www.boschsecurity.com) or via the web browser interface (for IP models). Some settings--lens focus, focal length, pan, tilt, LED tilt, and the width of the illumination beam--require manual adjustment using controls at the back of or in the front of the camera.

6.1 Adjusting Focus, Focal Length, Pan, and Tilt

To adjust the focal length and focus, use the controls located on the access panel at the rear of the camera housing. An access panel also contains the camera keypad buttons that you use to interact with the camera's on-screen display (OSD) menu. This menu provides advanced set-up options for getting the best results under special circumstances.

6.1.1 Accessing the Rear Controls

1. Unscrew the four (4) captive screws (item 1 in Figure 6.1) of the access panel on the rear of the camera housing.

6.2 Adjusting Angle of LED Tilt and Width of Illumination Beam

Adjust the angle of LED tilt and the width of the illumination beam on the front of the camera. See the figures in the subchapters below to identify the locations for each adjustment.

6.2.1 Adjusting the Angle of LED Tilt

NOTICE!

Do not discard the additional LED tilt set screw supplied in the accessory kit! It is required to adjust the angle of LED tilt.

Adjust the angle of LED tilt (up or down) to maximize coverage of the infrared light over the field of view. As a general guideline, when the camera is pointed down at a steeper angle (usually at higher installation heights or for applications of shorter ranges), the angle of LED tilt should be raised above the axis of the camera to reduce the potential of overexposure in the foreground.

1. Select the appropriate set screw for adjusting the angle of LED tilt, based on how far you want the camera to “see.” Use the 31 mm screw for general area surveillance / targets closer to the camera. Use the 25 mm screw for other use cases such as monitoring a perimeter.

2. Insert the set screw in the screw slot (item 1, Figure 6.6) between the camera window and the LED window in the front of the camera.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with mounting holes and a labeled section (no text or symbols)

Figure 6.6 Slot for set screw for adjusting angle of LED tilt

1. Insert the screw as far as possible into the slot. The screw must be in the slot completely to make the adjustment.

WARNING!

The LED Tilt Set screw must be inserted completely so that the integrated O-ring makes a seal with the camera housing. If the screw is not completely inserted, the water tightness of the camera will be compromised.

6.2.2 Adjusting the Illumination Beam Width

Adjust the infrared beam width by adding or removing the 3D diffuser. Each camera ships with a 3D diffuser plate (already installed in the camera) and the 3D diffuser (not installed in the camera). The diffuser plate holds the 3D diffuser in place in the camera. The 3D diffuser is recommended for wider field of view applications.

- With the 3D diffuser, a focal length of 6 ~mm provides a horizontal field of view (FOV) of 42^ to match the illumination pattern; the resulting beam angle is 42^ (H) × 20^ (V) .

- Without the 3D diffuser, a focal length of 27 ~mm (or greater) provides a horizontal field of view (FOV) of 10^ (or less) to match the illumination pattern; the resulting beam angle is 10^ (H) × 10^ (V) .

To install the 3D diffuser:

1. Unscrew the four (4) captive screws beneath the illuminator in the front of the unit (item 2, Figure 6.7).

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with numbered annotations pointing to features like '①' and '②'.

Figure 6.7 3D Diffuser

1. Using the captive screws, remove the 3D diffuser plate.

2. Insert the 3D diffuser into the slit in the gasket on the 3D diffuser plate.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the diffuser is inserted into the camera housing with the sticker side facing the LED array. It is important that the diffuser is oriented with the sticker side surface facing the LED array or IR performance will be lost.

1. Install the diffuser and plate assembly into the camera housing to secure and seal the unit.

To remove the 3D diffuser:

1. Remove the 3D diffuser and plate assembly as when installing the 3D diffuser.

2. Remove the 3D diffuser from the diffuser plate.

3. Install the diffuser plate into the camera housing to secure and seal the unit.

If the network uses a RADIUS server for managing access rights (802.1x authentication), you must configure the NEI-30 accordingly; otherwise, no communication is possible.

8 Configuration via IP, Basic Mode

8.1 Basic Mode: Device Access

Camera name

You can give the camera a name to make it easier to identify. The name makes the task of administering multiple units in larger video monitoring systems easier, (for example, using the VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System programs).

The device name is used for the remote identification of a unit (for example, in the event of an alarm). For this reason, enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to quickly identify the location.

CAUTION!

Do not use any special characters (for example, &) in the name. Special characters are not supported by the internal recording management system and may therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

Password

The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.

The NEI-30 camera operates with three authorization levels:

service, user and live.

The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access all the functions of the camera and change all configuration settings.

With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the configuration.

The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.

You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password protected.

Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level. The maximum text length is 19 characters.

NOTICE!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, you must also set a service and a user password. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

Confirm password

In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.

NOTICE!

A new password is saved only when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.

8.2 Basic Mode: Date/Time

Device date/Device time/Device time zone

If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary, you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.

▶ Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the camera.

Time server IP address

The camera can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols, and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every minute.

▶ Enter the IP address of a time server here.

Time server type

Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required for special applications and subsequent function extensions. Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.

8.3 Basic Mode: Network

The settings on this page are used to integrate the camera into an existing network.

Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.

2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The camera is rebooted and the changed settings are activated.

CAUTION!

If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the camera is only available under the new addresses after the reboot.

DHCP

If your network uses a DHCP server for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the camera.

Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for the camera in this field. The IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.

Gateway address

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).

8.4 Basic Mode: Encoder

Default profile

You can select a profile for encoding the video signal.

You can use this to adapt the video data transmission to the operating environment (for example network structure, bandwidth, data load).

Pre-programmed profiles are available, each giving priority to different perspectives. When you select a profile, the list field displays the details.

Profile Target	bit rate	Maximum bit rate	Encoding interval
High resolution 1	2000 kbps	4000 kbps	30.00 ips

9.1.2 Password

The camera is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit. Use different authorization levels to limit access.

NOTICE!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords.

Password

The NEI-30 camera operates with three authorization levels: service, user and live.

The highest authorization level is service. After entering the correct password, you can access all the functions of the camera and change all configuration settings.

With the user authorization level, you can operate the unit and also control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the configuration.

The lowest authorization level is live. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.

You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password-protected.

Enter the password for the appropriate authorization level here. The maximum text length is 19 characters.

Confirm password

In each case, enter the new password a second time to eliminate typing mistakes.

NOTICE!

A new password is only saved when you click the Set button. You should therefore click the Set button immediately after entering and confirming a password.

9.1.3 Date/Time

- Fixed - Allows a user defined shutter speed (1/60 [1/50], 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/5000, 1/10K).

Default shutter

The default shutter is 1/60. This value does not appear for the FL Shutter mode.

Actual shutter

This non-editable field displays the actual shutter value.

Sensitivity up

This field is only for the AES Shutter mode. Selects the factor by which the sensitivity of the camera is increased (OFF, 2x, 3x, etc. to a maximum of 10x).

Note: If Sensitivity up is active, some noise or spots may appear in the picture. This is normal camera behavior.

Sensitivity up may cause some motion blur on moving objects.

Gain

In AGC mode, the camera automatically sets the gain to the lowest possible value needed to maintain a good picture. Select the Maximum gain value that the camera can have during AGC operation(0-28).

In Fixed mode, it sets the Fixed AGC mode.

Maximum gain

For AGC mode, select the value of maximum gain that the camera can have during AGC operation (0-28).

Actual gain

This non-editable field displays the actual gain value.

9.3.4 Picture Settings: Day/Night

The NEI-30 camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR-illuminated applications to increase the IR sensitivity and enhance night viewing. There are three different methods of switching:

• as part of the programmable mode profile,
  – automatically, based on the observed light levels, or
• via the settings page.

Day/night

If Auto Video switching mode is selected, the camera automatically switches the filter depending on the video and Priority setting. The switching level is programmable.

In Monochrome mode, the IR filter is removed, giving full IR sensitivity.

Switch level

Set the video Switch level at which the camera switches to monochrome operation (-15 to 0 to +15). A low (negative) value means that the camera switches to? monochrome at a lower light (lux) level. A high (positive) value means that the camera switches to monochrome at a higher light (lux) level.

If you select Auto Photocell switching mode, the camera automatically switches the filter depending on the ambient light level. The switching level is programmable by adjusting the switch level.

Priority

In Auto Video switching mode, set the camera priority:

• Motion - The camera gives sharp images without motion blur as long as the light level permits.
• Color - The camera gives color pictures as long as the light level permits.

The camera recognizes IR-illuminated scenes to prevent unwanted switching to color mode.

IR contrast

There are two modes for IR contrast:

• Enhanced - The camera optimizes contrast in applications with high IR illumination levels.
• Normal - The camera optimizes contrast in mono applications with visible light illumination.

Color burst

Select On to activate color burst. Select Off to deactivate it.

9.3.5 Picture Settings: Illuminator

IR function

• On - The illuminator is always on, regardless of the level of ambient light.
• Off - The illuminator remains off, regardless of the level of ambient light.
• Auto - The camera switches the illuminator's cut-off filter on and off depending on the Day/Night mode.

Intensity level

Adjusts the intensity of the illuminator light (0 to 30); 30 is the default.

9.3.6 Picture Settings: Enhance

Dynamic engine

Select from Off, XF Dynamic, 2x Dynamic, or Smart BLC.

Auto black

Auto black ON automatically increases the visibility of details.

Sharpness

Adjusts the black level (-15 to 0 to +15). Zero is the factory default.

Dynamic noise reduction

In AUTO mode, the camera automatically reduces the noise in the picture. This may cause some motion blur on moving objects.

Peak white

Select On to activate peak white invert. Select Off to deactivate it.

9.3.7 Picture Settings: Color

White balance

- ATW - Auto tracking white balance allows the camera to adjust constantly for optimal color reproduction.

- AWB hold - Puts the ATW on hold and saves the color settings.

- In Manual mode, the Red, Green, and Blue gain can be set manually to a desired position.

Speed

This option is available only for ATW white balance. Adjust the speed (Fast, Medium, Slow) of the white balance control loop.

R-gain

Offsets factory white point alignment (reducing red introduces more cyan) (-50 to 0 to +50).

G-gain

ATW mode and AWB hold mode: adjusts the Green gain (-50 to 0 to +50) to optimize the white point.

B-gain

Offsets factory white point alignment (reducing blue introduces more yellow) (-50 to 0 to +50).

It is only necessary to change the white point offset for special scene conditions.

Saturation

Adjusts the color saturation (-15 to 0 to +5) so as to make the reproduction of colors on your monitor as realistic as possible; -15 gives a monochrome image.

9.3.8 Encoder Profile

For the video signal encoding, you can select a code algorithm and you can change the presets for the profiles.

You can adapt the video data transmission to the operating environment (for example network structure, bandwidth, data load). To this end, the camera simultaneously generates two data streams (Dual Streaming), which compression settings you can select individually, for example one setting for transmissions to the Internet and one for LAN connections.

Pre-programmed profiles are available, each giving priority to different perspectives.

Profile Target	bit rate	Maximum bit rate	Encoding interval
High Resolution 1	2000 kbps	4000 kbps	30.00 ips
High Resolution 2	1500 kbps	3000 kbps	30.00 ips
Low Bandwidth 700 kbps 1500 kbps 30.00 ips
DSL 400 kbps 500 kbps 30.00 ips
ISDN (2B) 80 kbps 100 kbps 30.00 ips
ISDN (1B) 40 kbps 50 kbps 30.00 ips
Modem 20 kbps 22 kbps 15.00 ips
GSM 7 kbps 8 kbps 7.50 ips

You can change individual parameter values of a profile and you can also change the name. You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs.

CAUTION!

The profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of parameters that interact with one another. In general, it is best to use the default profiles.

Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the configuration options.

In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm connections and automatic connections. Keep this fact in mind when assigning the profile.

NOTICE!

All parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent on one another. If you enter a setting that is outside the permitted range for a particular parameter, the nearest permitted value will be substituted when the settings are saved.

Profile name

You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then displayed in the list of available profiles in the Profile name field.

Target bit rate

You can limit the data rate for the camera to optimize utilization of the bandwidth in your network. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.

For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this limit can be temporarily exceeded up to the value you enter in the Maximum data rate field.

Maximum bit rate

This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in individual images being skipped.

The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target data rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it will automatically be adjusted.

Encoding interval

The figure selected here determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. The image rate in ips (images per second) is displayed next to the text field. Use the slide bar to select a frame rate from 30.00 ips to 1 ips.

Video resolution

Here you can select the desired resolution for the video image. The following resolutions are available:

- CIF

$$ 3 5 2 \times 2 8 8 / 2 4 0 \text { pixels } $$

- 4CIF/D1

$$ 7 0 4 \times 5 7 6 / 4 8 0 \text { pixels } $$

Use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to specific requirements, if necessary. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).

GOP structure

Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures here. Depending on whether you place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little bandwidth possible, you can choose from IP, IBP, and IBBP.

I-frame distance

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. 0 means auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as necessary. An entry of 1 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 2 indicates that only every second image is an I-frame, and 3 only every third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.

I-frame quality

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video quality. Alternatively, you can use the slide control to set a value between 9 and 51. The value of 9 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. The value of 51 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

P-frame quality

This setting allows you to adjust the maximum image quality of the P-frames. The basic setting Auto automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). Alternatively, you can use the slide control to set a value between 9 and 51. The value of 9 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. The value of 51 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

Default

Click Default to return the profile to the factory default values.

9.4 Advanced Mode: Recording

9.4.1 Storage Management

For long-term, authoritative images in stationary operation, it is essential that you use an appropriately-sized iSCSI system. It is possible to let the Video Recording Manager control all recording when accessing an iSCSI system. The VRM is an external program for configuring recording tasks for video servers. For further information, please contact your local customer service at Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Device manager

If you select the checkbox Managed by external VRM, the VRM Video Recording Manager will manage all recording and you will not be able to configure any further settings here.

CAUTION!

Activating or deactivating VRM causes the current settings to be lost; they can only be restored through reconfiguration.

Recording media

Select the required recording media here so that you can then activate them and configure the recording parameters.

iSCSI media

If you want to use an iSCSI system as a recording medium, you must set up a connection to the required iSCSI system and set the configuration parameters.

NOTICE!

The iSCSI storage system selected must be available on the network and completely set up. Amongst other things, it must have an IP address and be divided into logical drives (LUN).

1. Enter the IP address of the required iSCSI destination in the iSCSI IP address field.
2. If the iSCSI destination is password protected, enter this into the Password field.
3. Click the Read button. The connection to the IP address will be established. In the Storage overview field, you can see the corresponding logical drives.

Activating and Configuring Storage Media

The storage overview displays the available storage media. You can select individual media or iSCSI drives and transfer these to the Managed storage media list. You can activate the storage media in this list and configure them for storage.

CAUTION!

Each storage medium can only be associated with one user. If a storage medium is already being used by another user, you can decouple the user and connect the drive with the camera.

Before decoupling, make absolutely sure that the previous user no longer needs the storage medium.

1. In the Recording media section, the iSCSI Media tab will display the applicable storage media in the overview.

Standard recording

Here you can select the mode for standard recordings.

If you select Continuous, the recording proceeds continuously. If the maximum memory capacity is reached, older recordings will automatically be overwritten. If you select the Pre-alarm option, the device uses a special recording mode for optimal usage of storage capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm recording begins, a recording is continuously made on one segment, which is the size of a complete alarm sequence (pre-and post-alarm time).

This segment functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and is overwritten until an alarm is actually triggered. Then, recording occurs on the segment only for the duration of the preset post-alarm time and a new segment is subsequently used in the same manner.

If you select Off, no automatic recording takes place.

CAUTION!

You can specify limitations for overwriting older recordings in Continuous mode by configuring the retention time (see Section 9.4.3 Retention Time, page 72).

Recording includes

Select this checkbox to record metadata (for example, alarms, VCA data, and serial data) in addition to video data. Including metadata could make subsequent searches of recordings easier, but it requires additional memory capacity.

The graphic indicates the recording activity of the camera. You will see an animated graphic while recording is taking place.

9.4.5 Recording Status

Certain details on the recording status are displayed here for information purposes. You cannot change any of these settings.

9.5 Advanced Mode: Alarm

9.5.1 Alarm Connections

You can select how the camera responds to an alarm. In the event of an alarm, the unit can automatically connect to a predefined IP address. You can enter up to ten IP addresses to which the camera will connect in sequence in the event of an alarm, until a connection is made.

Connect on alarm

Select On so that the camera automatically connects to a predefined IP address in the event of an alarm.

NOTICE!

In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for alarm connections. Bear this fact in mind when assigning the profile (see Section 9.3.8 Encoder Profile, page 61).

Number of destination IP address

Specify the numbers of the IP addresses to be contacted in the event of an alarm. The unit contacts the remote stations one after the other in the numbered sequence until a connection is made.

Destination IP address

For each number, enter the corresponding IP address for the desired remote station.

Destination password

If the remote station is password protected, enter the password here.

In this page, you can save a maximum of ten destination IP addresses and hence up to ten passwords for connecting to remote stations. If connections to more than ten remote stations are to be possible, for example when initiating connections via higher-ranking systems such as VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System, you can store a general password here. The camera can use this general password to connect to all remote stations protected with the same password. In this case, proceed as follows:

1. Select 10 from the Number of destination IP address list field.
2. Enter the address 0.0.0.0 in the Destination IP address field.
3. Enter your chosen password in the Destination password field.
4. Define this password as the user password for all remote stations to which a connection is to be possible.

NOTICE!

If you enter the destination IP address 0.0.0.0 for destination 10, this address will no longer be used for the tenth attempt at automatic connection in the event of an alarm. The parameter is then used only to save the general password.

Video transmission

If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.

CAUTION!

Please note that in some circumstances, a larger bandwidth must be available on the network for additional video images in the event of an alarm, in case Multicast operation is not possible. To enable Multicast operation, select the UDP option for the Video transmission parameter here and on the Network page (see Page 87).

Stream

Select the stream for transmission in case of an alarm.

Remote port

Depending on the network configuration, select a browser port here. The ports for HTTPS connections will be available only if the On option is selected in the SSL encryption parameter.

Decoder

Select a decoder of the receiver to display the alarm image. The decoder selected has an impact on the position of the image in a split screen. For example, you can specify via a VIP XD that the upper-right quadrant should be used to display the alarm image by selecting decoder 2.

SSL encryption

The data for the connection, for example the password, can be securely transmitted with SSL encryption. If you have selected the On option, only encrypted ports are offered in the Remote port parameter.

NOTICE!

Please note that the SSL encryption must be activated and configured at both ends of a connection. This requires the appropriate certificates to be uploaded onto the camera.

You can activate and configure encryption of the media data (video and metadata) on the Encryption page (see Section 9.7.5 Encryption, page 95).

Auto-connect

Select the On option to automatically re-establish a connection to one of the previously specified IP addresses after each reboot, after a connection breakdown or after a network failure.

NOTICE!

In the default setting, Stream 2 is transmitted for automatic connections. Bear this fact in mind when assigning the profile (see Section 9.3.8 Encoder Profile, page 61).

9.5.2 VCA

The camera contains an integrated video content analysis (VCA), which can detect and analyze changes in the signal on the basis of image processing. Such changes can be due to movements in the camera's field of view.

You can select various VCA configurations and adapt these to your application as required. The Silent MOTION+ configuration is active by default. In this configuration, metadata is created to facilitate searches of recordings; however, no alarm is triggered.

1. Select a VCA configuration and make the required settings.
2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.

VCA Profiles

You can configure two profiles with different VCA configurations. You can save profiles on your computer's hard drive and load saved profiles from there. This can be useful if you want to test a number of different configurations. Save a functioning configuration and test new settings. You can use the saved configuration to restore the original settings at any time.

1. Select a VCA profile and enter the required settings.
2. If necessary, click the Default button to return all settings to their default values.

3. Click the Save... button to save the profile settings to another file. A new window is opened, in which you can specify where you want to save the file and what name you want to save it under.

4. Click the Load... button to load a saved profile. A new window opens in which you can select the profile file and specify where to save the file.

VCA configuration

Select one of the profiles here to activate it or edit it. You can rename the profile.

CAUTION!

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may therefore result in the Player or Archive Player being unable to play back the recording.

1. To rename the file, click the icon to the right of the list field and enter the new profile name in the field.
2. Click the icon again. The new profile name is saved.

Alarm status

The alarm status is displayed here for information purposes. This means that you can check the effects of your settings immediately.

Aggregation time(s)

You can set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds if necessary. The aggregation time always starts when an alarm event occurs. It extends the alarm event by the value set. This prevents alarm events that occur in quick succession from triggering several alarms and successive events in a rapid sequence. No further alarm is triggered during the aggregation time. The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts once the aggregation time has expired (see

Section 9.4.2 Recording Profiles, page 69).

Analysis type

Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only

MOTION+ is available – this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering.

NOTICE!

Additional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions such as IVMD and IVA are available from Bosch Security Systems, inc.

If you select one of these algorithms, you can set the corresponding parameters here directly. You can find information on this in the relevant documents on the product CD supplied.

Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this was explicitly excluded. Depending on the analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, additional information overlays the video image in the preview window next to the parameter settings. With the MOTION+ analysis type, for example, the sensor fields in which motion is recorded will be marked with rectangles.

NOTICE!

On the LIVEPAGE Functions page, you can also enable additional information overlays for the LIVEPAGE (see Section 9.2.2 LIVEPAGE Functions, page 54).

Motion detector (MOTION+ only)

For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:

- Analysis type must be activated.

- At least one sensor field must be activated.

- The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the desired responses.

- T h e Sensitivity must be set to a value greater than

CAUTION!

Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.

Sensitivity (MOTION+ only)

The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject. The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Minimum object size (MOTION+ only)

You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an alarm. This is to prevent objects that are too small from triggering an alarm.

A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.

Debounce time 1 s (MOTION+ only)

Select this checkbox to prevent very brief alarm events from triggering individual alarms. If the Debounce time 1 s option is activated, an alarm event must last at least 1 second to trigger an alarm.

Select Area (MOTION+ only)

The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector can be selected. The video image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated individually. If you want to exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from monitoring due to continuous movement (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields can be deactivated.

1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.

2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).

3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.
4. If necessary, click Select All to select the entire video frame for monitoring.
5. Right-click any fields that you want to deactivate.
6. Click OK to save the configuration.
7. Click the close button X in the window title bar to close the window without saving the changes.

Tamper detection

You can reveal the tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

NOTICE!

The options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed cameras. Dome cameras or other motorized cameras cannot be protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself causes changes in the video image that are too great.

Sensitivity

NOTICE!

This and the following parameter are only accessible if the Reference check checkbox is activated.

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject.

The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Trigger delay(s)

You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has

been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This allows you to avoid false alarms triggered by short-term changes (for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera).

Global change [slide control]

You can set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select Area.

Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm.

This option allows you to detect, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for instance.

Global change [checkbox]

Activate this function if the global change, as set with the

Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.

Scene too bright

Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the lens) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too dark

Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too noisy

Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines), as an example, should trigger an alarm.

Reference check

Select this checkbox to save a reference image that is continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the

reference image, an alarm is triggered. This allows you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example if the camera is turned.

1. Click Reference to save the currently visible video image as a reference.
2. Click Select Area and select the areas in the reference image that are to be monitored.
3. Check the box Reference check to activate on-going matching. The stored reference image is displayed in black and white below the current video image, and the selected areas are marked in yellow.
4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check again.

Disappearing edges

Select this option to have the reference check trigger an alarm if a prominent structure in the area selected in the reference image is concealed or moved. If the selected area is too homogenous, so that concealing and moving the structure would not trigger an alarm, then an alarm is triggered immediately to indicate the inadequate reference image.

Appearing edges

Select this option if the selected area of the reference image includes a largely homogenous surface. If structures appear in this area, then an alarm is triggered.

Select Area

You can select the image areas in the reference image that are to be monitored. The video image is subdivided into 858 square fields. Each of these fields can be activated or deactivated individually.

NOTICE!

Select only those areas for reference monitoring in which no movement takes place and that are always evenly lit, as false alarms could otherwise be triggered.

1. Click Select Area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.

2. If necessary, click Clear All first to clear the current selection (fields marked yellow).

3. Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked yellow.
4. If necessary, click Select All to select the entire video frame for monitoring.
5. Right-click any fields that you want to deactivate.
6. Click OK to save the configuration.
7. Click the close button X in the window title bar to close the window without saving the changes.

9.5.3 Alarm E-Mail

As an alternative to automatic connecting, alarm states can also be documented by e-mail. In this way it is possible to notify a recipient who does not have a video receiver. In this case, the camera automatically sends an e-mail to a previously defined e-mail address.

Send alarm e-mail

Select On if you want the unit to automatically send an alarm e-mail in the event of an alarm.

Mail server IP address

Enter the IP address of a mail server that operates on the SMTP standard (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Outgoing e-mails are sent to the mail server via the address you entered. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).

SMTP user name

Enter a registered user name for the chosen mailserver here.

SMTP password

Enter the required password for the registered user name here.

Format

You can select the data format of the alarm message.

Test e-mail

You can test the e-mail function by clicking the Send Now button. An alarm e-mail is immediately created and sent.

9.5.4 Alarm Task Editor

CAUTION!

Editing scripts on this page overwrites all settings and entries on the other alarm pages. This procedure cannot be reversed. In order to edit this page, you must have programming knowledge and be familiar with the information in the Alarm Task Script Language document.

As an alternative to the alarm settings on the various alarm pages, you can enter your desired alarm functions in script form here. This will overwrite all settings and entries on the other alarm pages.

1. Click the Examples link under the Alarm Task Editor field to see some script examples. A new window will open.
2. Enter new scripts in the Alarm Task Editor field or change existing scripts in line with your requirements.
3. When you finish, click the Set button to transmit the scripts to the unit. If the transfer was successful, the message Script successfully parsed is displayed over the text field. If it was not successful, an error message will be displayed with further information.

9.6 Advanced Mode: Interfaces

9.6.1 Relay

You can configure the switching behavior of the relay outputs. For each relay, you can specify an open switch relay (normally closed contact) or a closed switch relay (normally open contact).

You can select different events that automatically activate an output. It is possible, for example, to turn on a floodlight by triggering a motion alarm and then turn the light off again when the alarm has stopped.

Idle state

Select Open if you want the relay to operate as an NO contact, or select Closed if the relay is to operate as an NC contact.

Select

Select the relay:

• External Device - Triggers the output relay from the network?
• MOTION+IVA - Triggers the output relay on? MOTION+IVA.
• Mono Mode - Triggers the output relay in Mono mode.
• IR Filter Toggle - Triggers the output relay just before the IR filter starts moving and opens when video level has stabilized (2 to 3 seconds).

Name

You can assign a name for the relay here. The name is shown on the button next to Trigger relay. The LIVEPAGE can also be configured to display the name under the relay icon.

Furthermore, in the Forensic Search program, you can use the name as a filter option for quick search through the recordings.

CAUTION!

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not supported by the system's internal recording management and may therefore result in the Player or Archive Player programs being unable to play back the recording.

Trigger relay

Click the Relay button to trigger the relay manually (for example, for testing or to operate a door opener).

9.7 Advanced Mode: Network

9.7.1 Network Access

The settings on this page are used to integrate the camera into an existing network.

Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.

1. Make the desired changes.
2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The camera is rebooted and the changed settings are activated.

CAUTION!

If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the camera is only available under the new addresses after the reboot.

Automatic IP assignment

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of the camera.

Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for the camera in this field. The IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address.

Gateway address

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway. Otherwise, leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).

DNS server address

The unit can use a DNS server to trigger an address of a mail or FTP server specified as a name. Enter the IP address of the DNS server.

Video transmission

If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.

CAUTION!

Multicast operation is only possible with the UDP protocol. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.

The MTU value in UDP mode is 1,514 bytes.

HTTP browser port

Select a different HTTP browser port from the list if required. The default HTTP port is 80. If you want to allow only secure connections via HTTPS, you must deactivate the HTTP port. In this case, select Off.

HTTPS browser port

If you want to allow browser access on the network via a secure connection, select an HTTPS browser port from the list if necessary. The default HTTPS port is 443. Select the Off option to deactivate HTTPS ports; only unsecured connections will now be possible.

The camera uses the TLS 1.0 encryption protocol. You may need to activate this protocol via your browser configuration. You must also activate the protocol for the Java applications (via the Java control panel in the Windows control panel).

NOTICE!

If you want to allow only secure connections with SSL encryption, you must select the Off option for each of the parameters HTTP browser port, RCP+ port 1756 and Telnet support. This deactivates all unsecured connections. Connections will then be possible via the HTTPS port only.

You can activate and configure encryption of the media data (video and metadata) on the Encryption page (see Section 9.7.5 Encryption, page 95).

RCP+ port 1756

To exchange connection data, you can activate the unsecured RCP+ port 1756. If you want connection data to be transmitted only when encrypted, select the Off option to deactivate the port.

Telnet support

If you want to allow only secure connections with encrypted data transmission, you must select the Off option to deactivate Telnet support. The unit will then no longer be accessible using the Telnet protocol.

Interface mode ETH

If necessary, select the Ethernet link type for the ETH interface. Depending on the unit connected, it may be necessary to select a special operation type.

Network MSS (Byte)

You can set the maximum segment size for the IP packet's user data. This gives you the option to adjust the size of the data packets to the network environment and to optimize data transmission. Please comply with the MTU value of 1,514 bytes in UDP mode.

iSCSI MSS (Byte)

You can specify a higher MSS value for a connection to the iSCSI system than for the other data traffic via the network. The potential value depends on the network structure. A higher value is only useful if the iSCSI system is located in the same subnet as the camera.

Enable DynDNS

DynDNS.org is a DNS hosting service that stores IP addresses in a database ready for use. It allows you to select the camera via the Internet using a host name, without having to know the current IP address of the unit. You can enable this service here. To do this, you must have an account with DynDNS.org and you must have registered the required host name for the unit on that site.

NOTICE!

Information about the service, registration process and available host names can be found at DynDNS.org.

Host name

Enter the host name registered on DynDNS.org for the camera.

User name

Enter the user name that you registered at DynDNS.org.

Password

Enter the password that you registered at DynDNS.org.

Force registration now

You can force the registration by transferring the IP address to the DynDNS server. Entries that change frequently are not provided in the Domain Name System. It is a good idea to force the registration when you are setting up the device for the first time. Use this function only when necessary and no more than once a day, to avoid the possibility of being blocked by the service provider. To transfer the IP address of the camera, click the Register button.

Status

The status of the DynDNS function is displayed here for information purposes. You cannot change any of these settings.

9.7.2 Advanced

You can select which traps are to be sent.

1. Click Select. A list opens.
2. Click the checkboxes to select the required traps. All the checked traps will be sent.
3. Click Set to accept the selection.

Authentication

If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights, authentication must be activated here to allow communication with the unit. The RADIUS server must also contain the corresponding data.

To configure the unit, you must connect the camera directly to a computer using a network cable. This is because communication via the network is not enabled until the Identity and Password parameters have been set and successfully authenticated.

Identity

Enter the name that the RADIUS server is to use for identifying the camera.

Password

Enter the password that is stored in the RADIUS server.

RTSP port

If necessary, select a different port for the exchange of the RTSP data from the list. The standard RTSP port is 554. Select Off to deactivate the RTSP function.

UPnP

You can activate the universal plug and play function (UPnP). When activated the camera reacts on requests from the network and will be registered automatically as a new network device on the inquiring computers. The access to the camera is then possible via the Windows file explorer, and without knowledge of the camera's IP address.

NOTICE!

In order to use the UPnP function on a computer with Windows XP or Windows Vista, the Universal Plug and Play Device Host and the SSDP Discovery services must be activated.

This function should not be used in large installations due to the large number of registration notifications.

TCP metadata input

The device can receive data from an external TCP sender, for example an ATM or POS device, and store it as metadata. Select the port for TCP communication. Select Off to deactivate the TCP metadata function.

Sender IP address

Enter the IP address of the TCP metadata sender here.

9.7.3 Multicast

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the camera can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). You can enter a

dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.

NOTICE!

Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network.

The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it will be necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.

NOTICE!

The settings must be made individually for each stream.

Enable

To enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers, you need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the box. You can then enter the multicast address.

Multicast Address

Enter a valid multicast address for each stream to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network).

With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of data streams in the unit). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously-connected receivers.

NOTICE!

Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can lead to impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.

Port

Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data streams at the same multicast address. Enter the port address of the required stream.

Streaming

Select this checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream. An enabled stream is indicated by a check mark. The device even streams multicast data if no connection is active.

Multicast packet TTL

You can enter a value to specify how long the multicast data packets are active on the network. This value must be greater than one if multicast is to be run via a router.

9.7.4 FTP Posting

You can save individual JPEG images on an FTP server at specific intervals. You can then retrieve these images at a later date to reconstruct alarm events if required.

File name

You can select how file names will be created for the individual images that are transmitted.

• Overwrite - The same file name is always used and any existing file will be overwritten with the current file.
• Increment - A number from 000 to 255 is added to the file name and automatically incremented by 1. When it reaches 255, it starts again from 000.

- Date/time suffix - The date and time are automatically added to the file name. When setting this parameter, ensure that the unit's date and time are always correctly set. Example: the file snap011005_114530.jpg was stored on October 1, 2005 at 11:45 and 30 seconds.

Posting interval

Enter the interval in seconds at which the images will be sent to an FTP server. Enter zero if you do not want any images to be sent.

FTP server IP address

Enter the IP address of the FTP server on which you want to save the JPEG images.

FTP server login

Enter your login name for the FTP server.

FTP server password

Enter the password that gives you access to the FTP server.

Path on FTP server

Enter the exact path on which you want to post the images on the FTP server.

Max. bit rate

You can limit the bit rate (in kbps) for FTP posting. The default is 10000.

10 Operation via Keyboard and OSD Menus

The camera normally provides an optimal picture without the need for further adjustments. Advanced set-up options are available in a menu system for getting the best results under special circumstances. The camera implements your changes immediately so that before and after settings are easily compared.

10.1 Menus

10.1.1 Top level menus

Once you have opened the access panel on the rear of the camera housing (see Section 7, Configuration), you can adjust the camera settings via the camera's on-screen display (OSD) menus. There are two upper-level menus: the Main menu and the Install menu. The menus have functions that can be selected directly or submenus for more detailed set-up.

- To access the Main menu, press the menu/select button (center) for less than 1 second. The Main menu appears on the monitor. The Main menu allows you to select and set up the picture enhancement functions. If you are not happy with your changes, you can always recall the default values for the mode.

- The camera also has an Install menu in which the installation settings can be set. To access the Install menu, press the menu/select button (center) for longer than 2 seconds.

10.1.2 Menu navigation

Five keys, located behind the access panel on the back of the camera, are used for navigating through the menu system.

• Use the up or down keys to scroll through a menu.
• Use the left or right keys to move through options or to set parameters.
• When in a menu, quickly double-press the menu/select key to restore the selected item to its factory default.
• To close all menus at once, hold down the menu/select key until the menu display disappears or continually select the Exit item.

Some menus close automatically after about two minutes; other menus must be closed manually.

10.2 Pre-defined modes

There are six pre-defined modes with settings to make configuration easier. You can select one of the six pre-defined modes in the Install/Mode submenu. The modes are defined as follows:

1. 24-hour

Default installation mode to provide stable pictures over a 24-hour period. These settings are optimized for out-of-the-box installation.

2. Traffic

Capture high-speed objects using default shutter in variable lighting conditions.

3. Low light

Provide extra enhancement such as AGC and SensUp to make usable pictures in low-light conditions.

4. Smart BLC

Settings optimized to capture details in high contrast and extremely bright-dark conditions.

5. Low noise

Enhancements are set to reduce picture noise. Useful for conditional refresh DVR and IP storage systems because reducing noise reduces the amount of storage required.

6. Infrared

Settings are configured to provide optimal imaging performance in low-light or no-light conditions.
