What is the Bosch MIC IP cameras: Wiper or Washer RCP command syntax to implement in 3rd party software?
Question
Are you looking for the Bosch MIC IP cameras: Wiper RCP command syntax to incorporate it in the third party software?
Answer
Use the following command which triggers the camera to wipe five times then stop:
Replace <IP_Address> with the IP address of the camera.
For example:
Washer (MIC should have a washer kit):
The "predefined position" for the wash/wipe function is preset 62. The installer must define preset 62 (preferably where the washer nozzle is located and can direct washer fluid towards the camera window) before using the wiper/washer function.
"Status 14" code OSD → Washer operation was attempted without washer pre-position being stored. → Configure the washer pre-position. If necessary, refer to the subchapter “Using the Wiper/Washer (Bosch AUX/Pre-position Commands)” in the User Manual for details on configuring washer functions.
AUX commands
Please note that the camera usually does this through auxiliaries commands: AUX 104.
With the help of AUX commands you can enter pre-programmed keyboard control commands. These commands are composed of a command number plus the appropriate function key. A valid combination either issues a command to the device or displays an on-screen menu.
Below is the AUX command for the Wiper/Washer using Bosch Protocol

1.The wiper moves to a predefined position.
2.The washer turns on for five seconds. Simultaneously, the wiper turns on and wipes five times.
3.The washer turns off. The wiper turns off.
4.The camera returns to its previous PTZ position (and to inactive mode if applicable)
