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:

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.
If a RADIUS server is used for network access control (802.1x authentication), you must
configure the device before the device can communicate with the network.
To configure the device, connect it directly to a computer using a network cable and then set
the service-level password.
