đź“šOverview

With the release of VideoView+ for DIVAR IPs in Q3 of 2025, an option was added to receive BVMS event push notifications on the mobile Bosch Video Security App for iOS and Android devices.

Remotely monitor your video footage with Video View+ for DIVAR IP. This solution is ideal for organizations with multisite facilities that require local, high-retention recording or have RAID storage needs. It is perfectly suited for environments with a mid- to large-scale camera deployment per site. Video View+ is compatible with DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 systems via the Bosch Remote Portal.

New with BVMS >=13.0 on DIVAR IP AIO:

Receive BVMS Alarms or Push notifications on the Video Security Client

All BVMS Alarms configured and triggered by a BVMS >=13.0 system can be received as Event and Push notification.

(info) Works for all BVMS Alarms, for example Device, System or User related. This feature isn’t limited to Video Analytics alarms; it works with any event configured in BVMS.

Info

The new feature based on BVMS Alarms offers a lot of opportunities to show even 3rd party application Alarms on the Video Security Client. How? Just by using the onboard options of BVMS installed on DIVAR IP AIO to integrate with 3rd party systems. For example: SNMP trap receiver from Networking devices, Virtual input based on REST API or on Server SDK from any kind of 3rd party application, Adam box I/O device for wired inputs, etc.

Pre-requisite to get the feature enabled:

  1. BVMS >=13.0 is installed on a DIVAR IP AIO (this enables the configuration option on the BVMS Alarms). The config options are not available on a non DIVAR IP AIO based BVMS installation.

  2. Alarms are enabled as "Remote Notification" within the BVMS Configuration Client Alarms tab.

  3. DIVAR IP AIO is connected to the Remote Portal (cloud) using the System Manager (version >=2.5) outgoing connection

  4. Remote portal account for the DIVAR IP AIO outgoing connection

  5. Remote portal account for the Video Security Client connection

  6. Configuration and Licensing on the Remote portal to enable the feature

Note

This article describes only the general concept and the configuration needed for topic 2 above.

To get the feature end to end working, please refer to the Web based Training dedicated to Video View+.
