The name simplifies the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems. The camera name is used for remote identification, for example, in the event of an alarm. Enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to identify the location unambiguously. Password A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. The device recognizes three authorization levels: service, user, and live. service is the highest authorization level. Entering the correct password gives access to all the functions of the camera and allows all configuration settings to be changed. user is the middle authorization level. This user can operate the device, play back recordings, and also control a camera but cannot change the configuration. live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays. Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed if all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. For example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user password should also be set. When assigning passwords, always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords. Password Define and change a separate password for each level while logged in as service or if the device is not protected by a password. Enter the password (19 characters maximum) for the selected level.

The new password is only saved after clicking Set. Therefore, click Set immediately after entering and confirming the password, even if you plan to assign a password at another level. Date/Time Device date, time and zone If there are multiple devices operating in the 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 devices are operating on the same time. As the device time is controlled by the internal clock, it is not necessary to enter the day or date of the week. These are set automatically. The time zone in which the system is located is also set automatically. Click Sync to PC to apply the system time from your computer to the device. Note:
It is important to ensure that the date/time is correct for recording. An incorrect date/time setting could prevent correct recording.

Select a profile by clicking the appropriate tab. Change the name of a profile and individual parameter values within a profile. Profiles are rather complex. They include a number of parameters that interact with one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles. Only change a profile if completely familiar with all the configuration options. The parameters as a group constitute a profile and are dependent on one another. If a setting outside the permitted range for a parameter is entered, the nearest valid value is substituted when the settings are saved. Profile name Enter a new name for the profile here. (Do not use any special characters, for example &.) Target bit rate To optimize utilization of the bandwidth in the network, limit the bit rate. The target bit 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 temporarily be exceeded up to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field. Maximum bit rate This maximum bit rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the I-frames and P-frames, this can result in individual images being skipped. The value entered here must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target bit rate field. If the value entered here is too low, it is automatically adjusted.

By default, only Motion+
is available this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering. 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 are marked with rectangles. Motion detector Motion detection is available for the Motion+ analysis type. For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:
Analysis 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. The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero. Note:
Reflections of light (from glass surfaces, etc.), lights switching on and 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 Sensitivity is available for the Motion+ analysis type. 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.

Sensitivity 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]
Set delayed alarm triggering here. 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 avoids false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera. Global change (slider) 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 detection, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for example. Global change 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 objective) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

This is either done by duplicating the data stream in the device and then distributing it to multiple receivers (multi-unicast), or by distributing an individual data stream in the network itself to multiple receivers in a defined group (multicast). Enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. Then switch between the streams by clicking the associated tabs. The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable network that uses the UDP and IGMP protocols. Other group membership 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 is then 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. The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enable Enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers that need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the box and then enter the multicast address. Multicast Address Enter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data stream in the network). With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the stream operates in multi-
unicast mode (copying of data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously-connected receivers.

The name simplifies the management of multiple devices in more extensive systems. The camera name is used for remote identification, for example, in the event of an alarm. Enter a name that makes it as easy as possible to identify the location unambiguously. Password A password prevents unauthorized access to the device. The device recognizes three authorization levels: service, user, and live. service is the highest authorization level. Entering the correct password gives access to all the functions of the camera and allows all configuration settings to be changed. user is the middle authorization level. This user can operate the device, play back recordings, and also control a camera but cannot change the configuration. live is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays. Use the various authorization levels to limit access. Proper password protection is only guaranteed if all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. For example, if a live password is assigned, a service and a user password should also be set. When assigning passwords, always start from the highest authorization level, service, and use different passwords. Password Define and change a separate password for each level while logged in as service or if the device is not protected by a password.

is available this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering. 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 are marked with rectangles. Motion detector Motion detection is available for the Motion+ analysis type. For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:
Analysis 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. The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero. Note:
Reflections of light (from glass surfaces, etc.), lights switching on and 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 Sensitivity is available for the Motion+ analysis type. 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.

This setting prevents 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 The debounce time prevents 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. Selecting the area Select the areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector. The video image is subdivided into square sensor fields. Activate or deactivate each of these fields individually.

Sensitivity 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]
Set delayed alarm triggering here. 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 avoids false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example, cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera. Global change (slider) 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 detection, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for example. Global change 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 objective) should trigger an alarm.

AR18-10-B012 | v1.54 | 2011.07 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems IP Camera 200 Series Advanced Mode | en 115 6.8.4 Multicast In addition to a one-to-one connection between a camera and a single receiver (unicast), the camera can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. This is either done by duplicating the data stream in the device and then distributing it to multiple receivers (multi-unicast), or by distributing an individual data stream in the network itself to multiple receivers in a defined group (multicast). Enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. Then switch between the streams by clicking the associated tabs. The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable network that uses the UDP and IGMP protocols. Other group membership 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 is then 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. The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enable Enable simultaneous data reception on several receivers that need to activate the multicast function. To do this, check the box and then enter the multicast address. Multicast Address Enter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data stream in the network). With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the stream operates in multi-
unicast mode (copying of data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously-connected receivers. Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation Manual AR18-10-B012 | v1.54 | 2011.07 116 en | Advanced Mode IP Camera 200 Series Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances. Port Enter the port address for the stream here. Streaming Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode. An activated stream is marked with a check. (Streaming is typically not required for standard multicast operation.) Multicast packet TTL A value can be entered to specify how long the multicast data packets are active on the network. If multicast is to be run via a router, the value must be greater than 1. 6.8.5 FTP Posting Save individual JPEG images on an FTP server at specific intervals. If required, retrieve these images at a later date to reconstruct alarm events. JPEG resolution corresponds to the highest setting from the two data streams. File name Select how file names are created for the individual images that are transmitted. Overwrite: The same file name is always used and any existing file will be overwritten by 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 date and time of the device are always set correctly . For eample, 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 are sent to an FTP server. Enter zero for no images to be sent.
