Using Secure Streaming (SRTP) with Bosch Cameras in Security Center (CPP13/14/16 and Newer)

This article explains how to operate Bosch cameras with Genetec Security Center in an end-to-end secure environment by using secure streaming (SRTP) and HTTPS for command and control. The instructions apply to CPP13, CPP14, CPP16, and newer camera models.

Step-by-step guide

1. Synchronize Date and Time in the Camera
   Camera Web Interface → Configuration → General → Time/Date

   

2. Ensure Unsecure Ports Are Closed
   By default (on factory-new cameras or after a factory reset), all unsecure ports are closed.
   If they are not, disable them and enable RTSPS via:
   Camera Web Interface → Configuration → Network → Network Services

   

3. Configure Archiver Extension within SC
   In Config Tool → Archiver, set the following exceptions for the Generic Plus extensionn
   enable HTTPs and select exceptions

   

4. Under Camera Default Settings, go to Encryption → In Transit and At Rest, and select the certificate to be used for encryption and decryption.

   

5. Add Camera
   Ensure the Hybrid Driver – “Other (CPP13 and newer)” is used for CPP13/14/16 and newer devices.
   and ensure HTTPS switch is on

   

6. Select Preferred Streaming Method
   In the camera web interface: Camera → Video → Network Settings

7. Verify Streaming
   In Stream Diagnostics, you can see in this example that RTSPS over UDP and RTSPS over Multicast are being used.
