For BVMS version 10.0 and above, please make sure to go through these steps:
- Please check the List of tested cameras.
- If the device is not listed in the List of tested cameras, then please check here and make sure that your device is ONVIF Profile S compliant.
- If your camera is not listed in the tested cameras and is not listed on the ONVIF website as Profile S conformant, we cannot help you when you have an issue with this device. You should approach the device manufacturer to certify the device as ONVIF Profile S conformant.

- Cameras not listed as tested are not owned by Bosch. Solving issues might take longer as it requires collaboration with the camera vendor.
- Bosch support teams might need to refer to the camera manufacturer’s support line to help fixing the issue.
- We consider the firmware listed on the ONVIF website as the minimum firmware version of a camera. Please let us know if you run into issues with newer firmware versions so that we can investigate those accordingly.
