Question
Which are the Apps to use to configure a Bosch camera?
Answer
Aside from configuring the camera using its own browser, there are other tools you can use to setup the camera.
The choice when using which tool will come down to the individual installer. Their experience and know-how of the tool will dictate which one they will use.
Project Assistant
- Quick and easy configuration of basic camera settings.
- Simple set up for camera field of view.

Project Assistant by Bosch is the market’s most easy-to-use app for initial installation and basic configuration of IP cameras. Off-site and without connection to the camera, basic configurations can be created and then shared with colleagues. On-site, these pre-configurations can be pushed onto the camera, making the installation procedure easier and less time-consuming. Cameras previously configured can be integrated as well. The app allows easy viewing and adjustment of the camera's field of view. The app automatically generates a comprehensive report of the commissioned cameras.
