  - Adding devices
    To add your devices you can scan a QR code, enter the information manually, or automatically discover devices on the local network.
  - About firmware updates for access control appliances
    To keep your access control appliances secure and up to date, you must have the latest firmware installed.
  - Updating camera capabilities manually
    To take advantage of new camera features as they become available, you can manually update camera capabilities. This is useful when a system integrator or end-user changes the camera configuration or when features are added after camera enrollment.
  - Filtering and sorting devices
    To facilitate device management, you can filter and sort devices by specific criteria on the Devices page in Genetec™ Configuration.
  - Deleting devices
    Delete a device that is no longer required or is in an error state, or delete a device to enroll it again.
  - About recording profiles
    A recording profile is a configuration for multiple cameras containing predefined camera settings, including settings for retention period, storage location, resolution, frame rate, and bit rate.
  - Adding recording profiles
    To remove friction during large-scale camera deployments and for consistent configurations across multiple cameras, you can use recording profiles to specify video, storage, and retention settings.
  - Configuring custom camera settings
    You can create a custom settings configuration to manage camera-specific settings, which removes any association with a recording profile.
  - Configuring sensor-specific custom camera settings
    You can create a custom settings configuration to manage settings for individual sensors on a multisensor camera, which removes any association with a recording profile.
  - How fisheye cameras work in Security Center SaaS
    Security Center SaaS supports the enrollment of fisheye cameras and can dewarp live and playback video from direct-to-cloud and managed Archiver cameras.
  - How privacy protection works in Security Center SaaS
    In Security Center SaaS, privacy protection anonymizes video by pixelating parts of a video stream where movement is detected. The identity of individuals or moving objects is protected, without obscuring movements and actions or preventing monitoring.
  - How events work in Security Center SaaS
    An event is a record of an activity or incident that occurred in the system. Security personnel can monitor events in real time and investigate them later. Events can also trigger automations in the system.
  - Adding Bosch intrusion panels
    To monitor, control, and report on a Bosch intrusion panel, you must add it to a Genetec Cloudlink™ appliance in Security Center SaaS.
    - Best practices for connecting intrusion panels to the network
      To ensure performance and security, it’s considered a best practice to host your intrusion panels on an isolated network.
    - Preparing a Bosch intrusion panel for enrollment
      To communicate with Bosch intrusion panels through an IP network, you must configure the settings on the panel before you add the unit to Security Center SaaS.
    - How Bosch inputs are displayed in Security Center SaaS
      Before configuring the inputs of a Bosch panel, you must understand how its contact types are displayed in Genetec™ Configuraton and Genetec™ Operation.
    - Ethernet module compatibility for Bosch intrusion panel integration in Security Center SaaS
      To communicate with Security Center SaaS over an IP network, Bosch B series intrusion panels have an onboard Ethernet module.
    - Enabling communication with Security Center SaaS using the B426 Ethernet module
      After you’ve configured your Bosch intrusion panel, you can enable communication with Security Center SaaS using a B426 Ethernet module.
    - Enabling remote triggers for Bosch intrusion areas
      Intrusion areas on a Bosch intrusion panel can be remotely triggered from Security Center SaaS by configuring a virtual output point in Bosch Remote Programming Software (RPS) and Genetec™ Configuration.
    - Deleting an intrusion panel
      If an intrusion panel is no longer in use, you can delete it from the Genetec™ Intrusion Bridge.
  - Configuring Bosch intrusion panel settings
    If you modify the settings on a Bosch intrusion panel, you must update the corresponding settings in Genetec™ Configuration web to ensure proper synchronization.
  - Configuring advanced settings on intrusion panels
    After you add an intrusion panel in Genetec™ Configuration web, you can configure its advanced settings in Genetec Configuration desktop.
  - Enabling intrusion panel monitoring
    To enable operators to monitor an intrusion panel in Genetec™ Operation, you must add the intrusion panel entities to maps.

Ethernet module compatibility for Bosch intrusion panel integration in Security Center SaaS

2025-06-17

To communicate with Security Center SaaS over an IP network, Bosch B series intrusion panels have an onboard Ethernet module.

The panels can also be fitted with external B420/B426 Ethernet Network Interface Modules to add a supplemental interface. The Ethernet module that you should use depends on the panel model and firmware. For more information, see your Bosch documentation.

Note:

Using an Ethernet module is optional.

The following table lists your options.
