To configure the device, connect it directly to a computer using a network cable and then set
the service-level password.
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.
IP Helper
The IP Helper tool is a free PC application that makes it easy to detect Bosch cameras and
devices on your network.
Note:
If you cannot connect, the unit may have reached its maximum number of connections.
Depending on the network configuration, the device will require either one or two connectivity
options. A minimum of five unicast connections is possible. The unit can have more than 100
external Remote Control Protocol plus (RCP+) for unicast, multicast, or multicast connections,
or up to 100 connections via Video Security Client or BVMS. Some connections are used
internally.

Password protection in camera

The device is password-protected. The first time that any user accesses the device, the device
will prompt the user to set a password at the service level.
The camera requires a strong password. Follow the prompts in the dialog box, which specifies
what is required. The system measures the strength of the password that you enter.
When you use Configuration Manager to access your device for the first time, you must set the
initial password of the device in Configuration Manager. The Users section (General > Unit
Access > Users) displays the message, "Before you can use this device you have to secure it
with an initial password."
Note: After you set the initial password, a "lock" icon appears next to the device name in the
Devices list in Configuration Manager.
Make sure the password obeys these conditions:
