Camera setup · Bosch

Connect a Bosch camera to VISEC.

Bosch IP cameras are ONVIF conformant and ready out of the box, so a scan normally finds them. They also carry real alarm inputs and relay outputs, which is what makes them a good fit for gate and door control.

First, try the easy way

Press scan.

VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your Bosch camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.

If the scan comes up empty

If the camera does not appear.

Menu names move around between firmware versions, so treat these as the place to look rather than an exact path.

  1. Set the camera password

    Bosch cameras require a password to be set on first use. Until that is done the camera will refuse connections.

  2. Check the ONVIF service

    ONVIF is on by default on current firmware. In the camera's configuration, confirm the service and its port are enabled.

  3. Scan from VISEC

    Press scan and sign in with the camera's service or user account.

  4. Wire the outputs if you need them

    For gates and doors, connect the relay output terminals to the device you want to operate, then choose that action in VISEC.

PortsHTTP 80, RTSP 554.
Inputs and outputsMost Bosch professional models have physical alarm in and relay out terminals, which VISEC can drive.
AccountsBosch firmware uses tiered accounts (service, user, live). Give VISEC one with enough rights to read the stream.
