level when assigning passwords.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged into the
“service” user account.
Authentication modes
The section Authentication modes provides information about the authentication modes set
in the camera. A checkmark appears in the checkbox to the left of the mode if the mode is set.
If the mode is not set, the phrase “No certificate installed” appears to the right of the mode
name.
This device has three authentication modes:
– Password indicates a password is set for the camera. It prevents unauthorized access to
the device, and can use different authorization levels to limit access.
Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are
also protected with a password. Therefore, you must always start from the highest
authorization level when assigning passwords.
You can define and change a password for each authorization level if you are logged into
the service user account.
– Certificate. A check mark in this check box indicates that at least one certificate is loaded
onto the device.
The Trusted certificate is a root certificate for Bosch Security Systems that proves that
the device meets the following criteria:
– It originates from a Bosch factory that is a secure environment.
– It has not been tampered with.
The Trusted certificate is issued by Escrypt. Escrypt is a Bosch company and Certificate

Sensor mode
The Sensor mode specifies the quality of the image for each situation. Fast moving scenes use
more frame rates for better image quality than slow moving scenes. Adjust this setting as
necessary.
Image rotation
Select the required angle (0°, 90°, 180° or 270°) to output the correct image orientation.
Mirror image

Coding standard
Select the encoding mode:
– H.264
– H.265
– H.265 (no B-frames)
H.265 (no B-frames) is a restrictive mode for the encoder where it only supports I and P
frames. This decreases calculation power so that there can be a higher frame rate (for
example, 30 fps for a camera that might be restricted to 25 fps).

Reboot device
Click Reboot to restart the device.
Factory defaults
Click Defaults to restore the factory defaults for the camera. A confirmation screen appears.
Allow several seconds for the camera to optimize the picture after a reset.
Positioning
The Positioning feature describes the location of the camera and the perspective in the
camera’s field of view.
Perspective information is essential to Video Analytics, as it enables the system to
compensate for the illusory smallness of distant objects.
Only through use of perspective information is it possible to distinguish objects such as
persons, bicycles, cars and trucks, and accurately compute their real size and speeds as they
move through 3D space.
However, to calculate perspective information accurately, the camera must be directed at a
single, flat horizontal plane. Multiple and inclined planes, hills, stairs can falsify perspective
information and produce incorrect object information such as size and speed.
Mounting position
The mounting position describes the perspective information that is also often called
calibration.
In general, the mounting position is determined by the parameters of the camera such as
height, roll angle, tilt angle, and focal length.
The height of the camera must always be entered manually. Whenever possible, roll angle and
tilt angle are provided by the camera itself. The focal length is provided, if the camera has a
built-in lens.
Tilt angle [°]
Enter the tilt angle if the value is not determined by the camera.
The tilt angle describes the angle between the horizontal and the camera.
A tilt angle of 0° means that the camera is mounted parallel to the ground.
A tilt angle of 90° means that the camera is mounted vertically in bird’s eye view perspective.
The flatter the tilt angle is set, the less accurate the estimate of object sizes and speeds will
be. The settings must be between 0° and 90°. Estimates are no longer possible when you have
reached 0°.
Roll angle [°]
Enter the roll angle if the value is not determined by the camera.
The roll angle describes the angle between the roll axis and the horizontal plane. The angle
can deviate from the horizontal by up to 45°.
Height [m]
Enter the height in meters of the position of the camera.
The height describes the vertical distance from the camera to the ground plane of the
captured image. Typically the elevation of the mounted camera above the ground.
Focal length [mm]
Enter the focal length in millimeters of the position of the camera if the value is not
determined by the camera.

3000i IR
The focal length is determined by the lens. The shorter the focal length, the wider the field of
view. The longer the focal length, the narrower the field of view and the higher the
magnification.
Show sensor values...
Click to automatically see the camera parameters, for example, Tilt angle [°], Roll angle [°]
and Focal length [mm]. These calibration values are measured by the device sensors. Click OK
to transfer them to the Positioning settings page.
Sketch
Click to improve the automatic calibration. The Sketch Calibration window is displayed.
The Sketch functionality offers an additional, half-automatic calibration method. This
calibration method allows you to describe the perspective in the camera’s field of view by
drawing vertical lines, ground lines, and ground angles in the camera image and entering the
correct size and angle. Use the Sketch functionality if the result of the automatic calibration is
not sufficient.
You can also combine this manual calibration with the values for roll angle, tilt angle, height
and focal length calculated by the camera or entered manually.
Select the Calculate check box to obtain the roll angle, tilt angle, height and focal length from
the sketched calibration elements - vertical lines, ground lines and angles - you have placed in
the camera.
Clear the Calculate check box to enter a value manually or to refresh to the values provided by
the camera itself.
Calibrating cameras using the Sketch Calibration window
To determine non-automatically set values:
1. Enter the value for tilt angle, roll angle, height and focal length if the value is known, for
example, by measuring the height of the camera above the ground, or reading the focal
length from the lens.
2. For each value that is still unknown, select the Calculate check box, then place a
calibration element on the camera image. Use these calibration elements to trace
individual outlines of the displayed environment in the camera image and define the
position and size of these lines and angles.
– Click to place a vertical line across the image.

A vertical line corresponds to a line that is perpendicular to the ground plane, such
as a door frame, edge of a building or a lamp post.
– Click to place a line across the ground in the image.

A line on ground corresponds to a line that is on the ground plane, such as a road
marking.
– Click to place an angle on the ground in the image.

The angle on ground represents an angle lying on the horizontal ground plane, such
as the corner of a carpet or parking bay markings.
3. Adjust the calibration elements to the situation:
– Enter the real size of a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then enter
the size in the corresponding box.
Example: You have placed a line on ground across the lower side of an automobile.
You know that the automobile is 4 m long. Enter 4 m as the length of the line.
– Adjust the position or length of a line or angle. To do this, drag the line or angle or
move the end points to the desired position in the camera image.
3000i IR
– Remove a line or angle. To do this, select the line or angle, then click the trash can
icon.
Note:
Blue lines indicate calibration elements added by you.
White lines represent the element as it should be positioned on the camera image based
on the current calibration results or the determined calibration data.
Notice!
If the distance to the camera (geolocation) is not relevant, it is enough to determine height
and focal length in relation to each other. This allows a simple calibration by marking 2-3
persons ‑ each with a vertical line ‑ and setting their size. 1,80 m (71 in.) for all is sufficient.
Use at least one person in the front and one person in the background of the image for best
results.
Coordinate system
Select the coordinate system and enter the appropriate values in the additional input fields
that appear depending on the coordinate system selected.
The Coordinate system feature describes the position of the camera in a local Cartesian or
the global WGS 84 coordinate system. The camera and the objects tracked by the video
analytics are displayed on a map.
Cartesian
The Cartesian coordinate system describes each point in the space by a combination of the
position on three orthogonal axes X, Y and Z. A right-handed coordinate system is used, where
X and Y span the ground plane and Z describes the elevation of the ground plane.
X [m]
The location of the camera on the ground on the X-axis.
Y [m]
The location of the camera on the ground on the Y-axis.
Z [m]
The elevation of the ground plane. To determine the elevation of the camera, add the Z [m]
value and the Height [m] value of the camera.
WGS 84
The WGS 84 coordinate system is a spherical coordinate system description of the world and
used in many standards including GPS.
Latitude
Latitude is the north-south position of the camera in the spherical coordinate system WGS 84.
Longitude
Longitude is the east-west position of the camera in the spherical coordinate system WGS 84.
Ground level [m]
The elevation of the ground above sea level. To determine the elevation of the camera, add the
Ground level [m] value and the Height [m] value of the camera.
Azimuth [°]
The orientation of the camera in a counter-clockwise angle starting with 0° in the east (WGS
84) or on the X-axis (Cartesian). If the camera is directed towards the north (WGS 84) or the
Y-axis (Cartesian), the azimuth is 90°.

White balance
– Basic auto mode allows the camera to continually adjust for optimal color reproduction
using an average reflectance method. This is useful for indoor light sources and for
colored LED light illumination.
– Standard auto mode allows the camera to continually adjust for optimal color
reproduction in an environment with natural light sources.
– Sodium lamp auto mode allows the camera to continually adjust for optimal color
reproduction in an environment with sodium vapor light sources (street lighting).
– Dominant color auto mode takes into account any dominant color in the image (for
example, the green of a football pitch or of a gaming table) and uses this information to
obtain a well balanced color reproduction.
– In Manual mode the Red, Green, and Blue gain can be manually set to a desired position.
Apply white balance
Click Hold to put ATW on hold and save the current color settings. The mode changes to

4.3.4 Enhance
High dynamic range
Choose between these options:
Off: to disable High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Auto: for automatic HDR. Depending on the scene, the camera can capture multiple exposures
to increase the Dynamic Range
Extreme: similar to Auto, but with even higher Dynamic Range. Use this only in quiet scenes
and with low light levels. Artifacts can occur depending on the light level and movement in the
scene.
Notice!
Do not use HDR in scenes with fluorescent lighting.
HDR can only be active if Auto exposure is selected, and there is a match between the base
frame rate (selected in the installer menu) and the ALC fluorescent mode frequency. If there
is a conflict, a pop-up window will suggest a solution and adjust the appropriate settings.

on motion and light levels.
Sharpness level
Adjusts the Sharpness level between -15 and +15. A low (negative) value makes the picture
less sharp. Increasing sharpness brings out more detail. Extra sharpness can enhance the
details of license plates, facial features and the edges of certain surfaces but can increase
bandwidth requirements.
Temporal noise filtering
Adjusts the Temporal noise filtering level between -15 and +15. The higher the value, the
more noise filtering.
Spatial noise filtering
Adjusts the Spatial noise filtering level between -15 and +15. The higher the value, the more

4.3.5 Encoder Profile

Profiles are rather complex and include a number of parameters that interact with one
another, so it is generally best to use the pre-defined profiles. Only change a profile if
completely familiar with all the configuration options.
Changing a profile
To change a profile, select it by clicking its tab and then change the parameters within that
profile.
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
If required, enter a new name for the profile.
Bit rate optimization
Select the necessary bit rate optimization setting.
Maximum bit rate
The encoder maintains the maximum bit rate over a number of GOPs (group-of-pictures),
limiting image quality when necessary. To ensure long-term stability of the maximum bit rate,
use the Averaging period.
The value entered in this field must be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the field
Target bit rate. If the value entered here is too low, it will be adjusted automatically.
The value in this field is not to be interpreted as the network transmission bit rate.
Averaging period
Select the appropriate averaging period as a means of stabilizing the long term bit rate.
Target bit rate
To optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the device. 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 temporarily be exceeded up to the value entered in the Maximum bit rate field.
Encoding interval
The Encoding interval slider determines the interval at which images are encoded and
transmitted. This can be particularly advantageous with low bandwidths. The image rate is
displayed next to the slider.
Video resolution
Select the desired resolution for the video image for Standard Definition (SD) streams. This
setting is not used by High Definition (HD) streams.
Expert Settings
If necessary, use the expert settings to adapt the I-frame quality and the P-frame quality to
specific requirements. The setting is based on the H.264 quantization parameter (QP).
GOP structure
Select the structure you require for the Group of Pictures (GOP). To have the lowest possible
delay, choose IP.
I-frame distance
Use the slider to set the distance between I-frames to Auto or to between 3 and 255. An entry
of 3 means that every third image is an I-frame. The lower the number, the more I-frames are
generated.

3000i IR
Allow enhanced prediction

This function allows for multiple references in H.264 and H.265 streams, which can reduce
bitrate. Some decoders do not support this feature and therefore can be disabled.
Min. P-frame QP
In the H.264-protocol, the Quantization Parameter (QP) specifies the degree of compression
and thus the image quality for every frame. The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding
quality. A higher quality produces a higher data load. Typical QP values are between 18 and
30. Define the lower limit for the quantization of the P-frames here, and thus the maximum
achievable quality of the P-frames.
I/P-frame delta QP
This parameter sets the ratio of the I-frame QP to the P-frame QP. For example, you can set a
lower value for I-frames by moving the slide control to a negative value. Thus, the quality of the
I-frames relative to the P-frames is improved. The total data load will increase, but only by the
portion of I-frames.
To obtain the highest quality at the lowest bandwidth, even in the case of increased
movement in the picture, configure the quality settings as follows:
1. Observe the coverage area during normal movement in the preview images.
2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at which the image quality still
meets your needs.
3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible value. This is how to save
bandwidth and memory in normal scenes. The image quality is retained even in the case
of increased movement since the bandwidth is then filled up to the value that is entered
under Maximum bit rate.
Background delta QP
Select the appropriate encoding quality level for a background region defined in Encoder
Regions. The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality.
Object delta QP
Select the appropriate encoding quality level for an object region defined in Encoder Regions.
The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality.
Default
Click Default to return the profile to the factory default values.
4.3.6 Encoder Streams

4.4 Recording
Images can be recorded to an appropriately configured iSCSI system or, for devices with an
SD slot, locally to an SD card.
SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times and temporary recordings. They can
be used for local alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording.
For long-term authoritative images use an appropriately sized iSCSI system.
Two recording tracks are available (Recording 1 and Recording 2). The encoder streams and
profiles can be selected for each of these tracks for both standard and alarm recordings.
Ten recording profiles are available where these recording tracks can be defined differently.
These profiles are then used for building schedules.
A Video Recording Manager (VRM) can control all recording when accessing an iSCSI system.
The VRM is an external program for configuring recording tasks for video servers.
4.4.1 Storage Management

Device manager
The Device manager indicates if storage is controlled locally or by a VRM system.
An external Video Recording Manager (VRM) system for the unit is configured via the
Configuration Manager.
Recording media
Select a media tab to connect to the available storage media.
iSCSI Media
To use an iSCSI system as the storage medium, a connection to the desired iSCSI system is
required to set the configuration parameters.
The storage system selected must be available on the network and completely set up. It must
have an IP address and be divided into logical drives (LUNs).
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 the password into the Password
field.
3. Click Read.

3000i IR
– The connection to the IP address is established.

The Storage overview field displays the logical drives.
Local Media
An SD card inserted in the camera can be used for local recording.
4 If the SD card is password protected, enter the password into the Password field.
The Storage overview field displays the local media.
Note: SD card recording performance is highly dependent on the speed (class) and
performance of the SD card. It is recommended to use an industrial SD card with health
monitoring.
Local storage
To activate the ANR settings, Recording 1 must be assigned to an iSCSI target and Recording
2 to a local storage.
This function enables recording to the iSCSI target. If there is a network disconnection, the
video is recorded to the local storage. When the network is recovered, the video recorded to
the local storage is transferred to the iSCSI target and completes the missing information.
Activating and configuring storage media
Available media or iSCSI drives must be transferred to the Managed storage media list,

4.5.2 Video Content Analysis (VCA)

The camera has integrated Video Content Analysis (VCA) which detects and analyzes changes
in the picture using image processing algorithms. Such changes can be due to movements in
the camera's field of view. Detection of movement can be used to trigger an alarm and to
transmit metadata.
Various VCA configurations can be selected and adapted to your application, as required.
Refer to Setting up VCA for more information on setting up video content analysis.
Note:
If there is not enough computing power, priority is given to live images and recordings. This
can lead to impairment of the VCA system. Observe the processor load and optimize the
encoder settings or the VCA settings if necessary, or turn off VCA completely.
Setting up VCA
Several VCA configurations are available.
– Off
– Silent VCA
– Profile #1
– Profile #2
– Scheduled
– Event triggered
Silent VCA
In this configuration, metadata is created to facilitate searches of recordings, however, no
alarm is triggered.
4 In the VCA configuration drop-down list, select Silent VCA.
No parameters can be changed for this selection.
Profile # 1/ Profile # 2
Two profiles can be set up with different VCA configurations
1. In the VCA configuration drop-down list, select profile 1 or 2 and enter the required
settings.
2. If necessary, click Default to return all settings to default values.
To rename a profile:
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.
The current alarm status is displayed for information purposes.

Scenario
Scenarios are applications with pre-defined settings that are adapted to specific use cases. All
relevant settings, from tasks to metadata, are set automatically by the system.
The following scenarios are available:
– Intrusion (one field)
– Intrusion (two fields)
– People counting
– Traffic incidents

3000i IR
– Traffic wrong way
Notice!
A camera calibration is required for all scenarios.
Using the scenarios will reset the VCA configuration to the scenario defaults.
All values (Metadata Generation and Tasks) can be edited after activating the scenario
defaults.
Delete tasks that do not fit your use cases.
Analysis type
Select the required analysis algorithm. Motion+ offers a motion detector and essential
recognition of tampering.
Metadata is always created for a video content analysis, unless this is 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.
Aggregation time [s]
Set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds. 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.
Alarm status
The alarm status is displayed here for information purposes. This means you can check the
effects of your settings immediately.
Click Configuration to set up the analysis type.
Tamper detection
Detect 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.
Reference check
Save a reference image that can be 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 detects 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 Add mask and select the areas in the reference image that are to be ignored. Click
Set to apply.
3. Check the box Reference check to activate the on-going check. The stored reference
image is displayed in black and white below the current video image.
4. Select the Disappearing edges or Appearing edges option to specify the reference check
once again.
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.

3000i IR
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.
Disappearing edges
The area selected in the reference image should contain a prominent structure. If this
structure is concealed or moved, the reference check triggers an alarm. 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.
Global change
Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should
trigger an alarm.
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 Mask.... 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.
Current brightness
For information, the current brightness of the camera scene is displayed. The brighter the
scene, the higher the value. Use this value as an indicator when defining a corresponding
threshold.
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.
Use the slider to set the threshold of the alarm trigger.
Scene too dark
Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying
paint on it) should trigger an alarm.
Use the slider to set the threshold of the alarm trigger.
Scheduled
A scheduled configuration allows you to link a VCA profile with the days and times at which
the video content analysis is to be active.
4 In the VCA configuration drop-down list, select Scheduled.
Schedules can be defined for weekdays and for holidays.
Assign as many time periods (in 15-minute intervals) as needed for any day of the week. Move
the mouse cursor over the table - the time is displayed.

window closes.
6. Assign the defined holidays to the VCA profiles as described above.
7. To delete a user-defined holiday, click on the trashcan of the respective holiday.
Event triggered
This configuration allows you to stipulate that the video content analysis is only to be
activated when triggered by an event.
4 In the VCA configuration drop-down list, select Event triggered.
As long as no trigger is activated, the Silent VCA configuration in which metadata is created is
active; this metadata facilitates searches of recordings, but does not trigger an alarm.
Trigger
Select a physical alarm or a virtual alarm as a trigger. A virtual alarm is created using software,
with RCP+ commands or alarm scripts, for example.
Trigger active
Select the VCA configuration here that is to be enabled via an active trigger. A green check
mark to the right of the list field indicates that the trigger is active.
Trigger inactive
Select the VCA configuration here that is to be activated if the trigger is not active. A green
check mark to the right of the list field indicates that the trigger is inactive.
Delay [s]
Select the delay period for the reaction of the video content analysis to trigger signals. 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. A delay period may be useful in avoiding false
alarms or frequent triggering. During the delay period, the Silent VCA configuration is always
enabled.

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 one of the dynamic DNS providers and
you must register the required host name for the unit on that site.
Note:
For information about the service, registration process and available host names refer to the
provider.
Provider
Select your dynamic DNS Provider from the drop-down list.
Host name
Enter the host name registered for the unit.
User name

Force registration now

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 setting up the device for the first time. Only use this function 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 device, click the Register button.
Status
The status of the DynDNS function is displayed here for information purposes; these settings
cannot be changed.
4.7.4 Advanced

4.7.5 Network Management

SNMP
The camera supports the SNMP V1 legacy (Simple Network Management Protocol) and SNMP
V3 for managing and monitoring network components, and can send SNMP messages (traps)
to IP addresses. It supports SNMP MIB II in the unified code.
If On is selected for the SNMP parameter and a SNMP host address is not entered, the device
does not send the traps automatically and will only reply to SNMP requests. If one or two
SNMP host addresses are entered, SNMP traps are sent automatically. Select Off to
deactivate the SNMP function.
SNMP host addresses
To send SNMP traps automatically, enter the IP address of one or two target devices here.
SNMP traps
To choose which traps are sent:
1. Click Select. A dialog box appears.
2. Click the check boxes of the appropriate traps.
3. Click Set to close the window and send all of the checked traps.
UPnP
Select On to activate UPnP communication. Select Off to deactivate it.
When the Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) function is activated, the unit responds to requests
from the network and is automatically registered on the requesting computers as a new
network device. This function should not be used in large installations due to the large number
of registration notifications.
Note:
To use the UPnP function on a Windows computer, both the Universal Plug-and-Play Device
Host and the SSDP Discovery Service must be activated.

3000i IR
Quality of service
The priority of the different data channels can be set by defining the DiffServ Code Point
(DSCP). Enter a number between 0 and 252 as a multiple of four. For alarm video you can set
a higher priority than for regular video and you can define a Post Alarm Time over which this
priority is maintained.
4.7.6 Multicast
The device can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. The
stream is either duplicated and then distributed to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast), or it is
sent as a single stream to the network, where it is simultaneously distributed to multiple
receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses UDP and the Internet
Group Management protocol (IGMP V2). The network must support group IP addresses. Other
group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast
connections.
A special IP address from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (class D address) must be configured

for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The multicast address can be the same
for multiple streams, however, it is necessary to use a different port in each case.
The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enter a dedicated multicast address
and port for each stream.
The video channels can be individually selected for each stream.
Enable
Enable simultaneous data reception on receivers that need to activate the multicast function.
To do this, check the box and 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 a 0.0.0.0 setting, 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.
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.)
Metadata
You can enable multicast metadata here. The configuration follows the same pattern as for
video multicast, but without the streaming option.
Define a multicast address and define a port.

3000i IR
Audio
You can enable multicast audio for different encoders here. The configuration follows the
same pattern as for video multicast, but without the streaming option.
Define a multicast address and define a port for the different encoders.
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.
IGMP version
Set the multicast IGMP version to comply with the device.
4.7.7 Accounts
Four separate accounts can be defined for posting and recording export.
Type
Select either FTP or Dropbox for the account type.
Before using a Dropbox account ensure that the time settings of the device have been
correctly synchronized.
Account name
Enter an account name to be shown as the target name.
FTP server IP address
For an FTP server, enter the IP address.

4.7.8 IPv4 Filter

To restrict the range of IP addresses within which you can actively connect to the device, fill-in
an IP address and mask. Two ranges can be defined.
4 Click Set and confirm to restrict access.
If either of these ranges are set, no IP V6 addresses are allowed to actively connect to the
device.
The device itself may initiate a connection (for example, to send an alarm) outside the defined
ranges if it is configured to do so.
