Introduction

1.1

Establishing the connection

The unit must have a valid IP address to operate on your network and a compatible subnet
mask.
By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On plus Link-Local so a DHCP server assigns an
IP address or, if no DHCP server is available, a link-local address (auto-IP) is assigned within
the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
You can use IP Helper or Configuration Manager to find the IP address. Download the software
from http://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com.

Password protection in camera

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.
You can also launch the device webpage directly. In the device webpage, an initial password
page appears, displaying input fields and a password strength gauge.
Enter the user name ("service") and a password in the appropriate fields. Refer to the section
User Management for more information.
After a service-level password is set for the device, the device displays a dialog box that
prompts users to enter the user name ("service") and the service-level password every time
that they access the device.
