Question

Can I import Bosch Project Assistant configurations into Milestone XProtect?

Answer

With Bosch SmartSuite for Milestone XProtect, you can import configuration files created in the Bosch Project Assistant app directly into XProtect: streamlining camera onboarding and setup.

Key Capabilities:

• Automatically applies pre-defined parameters in XProtect, such as:

  • Network settings

  • Date and time

  • Camera name and group

  • Basic image settings, alignment, and focus

• Cameras are onboarded with the correct names and groups: no manual entry required.

• Only the Project Assistant file password is needed; camera credentials remain untouched.

Additional Options:

If devices already exist in XProtect, choose to:

• Keep current settings

• Overwrite with Project Assistant configurations

• Recreate the device

Benefits:

• Pre-configure cameras off-site; no physical connection needed.

• Save significant time; especially for large deployments.

• Improve security by avoiding widespread credential sharing: with the import of the Project Assistant file, the cameras will automatically be onboarded into XProtect.

Tip: SmartSuite is free-of-charge and consolidates this integration with other Bosch features for Milestone XProtect.
