 Camera URL: Is either automatically filled in with the camera’s IP address or left
blank, depending on which kind of surveillance system you are installing XProtect
Analytics on.
 Channel ID: Some BOSCH devices offer several video channels, some simply offer
one. When the device offers several channels, specify the required video channel
(e.g. 3) on the device in question. If the device offers one channel only, simply
specify 1.
 Camera user: User name for the camera in question, as set up in the BOSCH VCA
application. XProtect Analytics BOSCH VCA is in many cases able to find the
relevant user name automatically; otherwise it fills in this field with the default user
live.
 Camera password: Password for the camera in question, as specified in the
BOSCH VCA application. XProtect Analytics BOSCH VCA is in many cases able to
find the relevant password automatically; if not, type the password manually.
 Camera location: Optionally specify physical location of the selected camera.
Camera location is displayed in the Smart Client which is helpful in large
installations.

Transact’s Administrator application. For more information, see Important
Prerequisites on page 10.

toolbar.

right corner of the Administrator application.
In case restart is required, click the Restart Server button in the Administrator
application’s toolbar.

Once you have added VCA connections, you are able to quickly test each of your VCA connections
in order to verify that they will work properly. To test a VCA connection, do the following:
1. In the Administrator application, expand the Connections folder, right-click the required
connection, and select Test Connection Settings...
The test will begin. A small window lets you monitor the progress of the test.
