1 DIVAR IP 3000 / 70000 Video Management Appliance and Bosch Video Purpose: The purpose of the technical brief is to assist in the set up remote connectivity to a DIVAR IP (DIP) Video Management Appliance with the Bosch Video Security Mobile App. Overview: DIVAR IP Video Management Appliances are equipped with Mobile Video Service (MVS). In an enterprise scenario MVS is commonly installed on a stand alone server with the required processing power. The role of MVS in an enterprise installation is to: Provide remote connectivity via an HTTPS connection Provide an authentification mechanism for remote and mobile users into BVMS Provide software transcoding for mobile devices Provide a lite web browser client Since software transcoding is processor intensive, MVS has a reduced role and functional purpose when installed on a DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance: Provide remote connectivity via an HTTPS connection Provide an authentification mechanism for remote and mobile users into BVMS Functional Overview: In a typical enterprise system the order of operation is as follows: Mobile device connects to the HTTPS address of the MVS installed on an IIS server Remote connection is performed with the MVS App which is designed to utilize MVS software transcoding MVS checks user credentials against the BVMS data base, and then access to the devices in the logical tree which the user has privileges for is granted Video is tunneled and transcoded back via the MVS to the mobile device or web client
2 In a DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance installation the order of operation is as follows: Mobile device connects to the HTTPS address of the MVS installed on the DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance. Remote connection is performed with Bosch Video Security App which is designed to utilize VRM and hardware transcoding MVS checks user credentials against the BVMS data base, and then access to the devices in the logical tree which the user has privileges for is granted MVS passes off control to BVMS and VRM All video requests are handled by VRM which provides transcoded video via a physical transcoder that the DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance is equipped with. If no transcoding session is available VRM will supply streaming JPEG On DIVAR IP Video Management Appliances HTTP and HTTPS port assignment to services is as follows: MVS 80 and 443 / VRM 81 and 442 Configuration Steps: All cameras added to the system must be configured with valid default gateway. If configured incorrectly: o There will be limited connectivity available when connected with the Security app o If the device is a PTZ there will be no access to PTZ functionality
3 After all devices have been added to the system ensure that the MVS is configured with the system loopback address of 127.0.0.1. o This is the default setting and should not be changed To configure the correct port forwarding, select the: o Settings menu o Select the Remote Access Settings sub menu From the Remote Access Settings menu: o Select the Enable Port Mapping check box o Enter the private IP address of the DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance Enter the Public IP address of the DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance o Select the Show Port Forwarding.. tab
4 You should see a port forwarding table generated by BVMS o Notice that MVS is IP address 127.0.0.1 using port 443 o The VRM in this example is listed as 192.168.1.8 with an internal port of 442. The external port by default will be in the 50000 range change port 50XXX to port 442 and check Fixed o Select Copy to Clipboard and paste to notepad Accessing and programming your router will vary based on the make and model of the router. Basic configuration may also vary based on the router s features. o Using the port forwarding table generated by BVMS create a forwarding instance for VRM and each camera in the system o VRM has an internal and external port range from port 81 to 442. In this example since MVS and VRM are on the same appliance we are programming the router with a port range of 81 to 443 o Create a Port Triggering Table if possible. MVS and VRM reside on the same appliance. In most cases commercial routers will not allow you to enter tables for the same PC more than once o Shown below we have two instances: VRM=442 and MVS=443 o No settings need to be changed on the cameras themselves, BVMS redirects streams as needed. Enter port forwarding tables for all configured cameras based on the port mapping table generated in BVMS o The BVMS Server ports 5390 to 5396 do not need to be entered as these are for BVMS Operator Client connection
5 Connecting with the Bosch Security App: o After opening the App and adding a site, enter the public IP address of the DIVAR IP Video Management Appliance you want to connect to o Connection address should be in HTTPS://IP/ format o Do not include /MVS as required to utilize MVS in an enterprise environment o Turn Secure connection (SSL) on o Select Add Log in with valid BVMS credentials o Select OK to any SSL certificates that present themselves
6 Once Bosch Video Security Mobile App has connected you should be able to scroll thought the cameras assigned to VRM in the BVMS system o For further details on the use of the Bosch Video Security App see the instructional video tutorial series on the BOSCHTS2GO You Tube channel: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=plxeomr72fad5zvd3ej3tvl4pbjbczzfhx
