  - Adding devices
    To add your devices you can scan a QR code, enter the information manually, or automatically discover devices on the local network.
  - How firmware and software updates work
    To keep your devices secure and up-to-date, Security Center SaaS automatically updates the firmware and software applications for various appliances and video units.
  - 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.
  - 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.

Preparing a Bosch intrusion panel to add to Security Center SaaS

2025-09-04

To communicate with Bosch intrusion panels through an IP network, you must configure the settings on the panel before you add the device to Security Center SaaS.

Before you begin

Read the Bosch documentation that applies to your hardware.

Procedure

Select one of the supported Ethernet modules.
Enable communication between the Bosch Remote Programming Software (RPS) and the panel.
This can be done using a USB cable, the onboard Ethernet communication module, or the B420 or B426 Ethernet module. For more information, see the Bosch documentation.
Configure the panel settings using Bosch RPS.
Panel settings include intrusion areas, inputs (points), outputs (relays), and other behavior. For more information, see the Bosch documentation.
Enable communication between the panel and Security Center SaaS.
1. Open Bosch RPS.
2. From the list of panels, right-click on the panel you are adding to Security Center SaaS and select Open Panel View.
3. Click the Connect button to connect Bosch RPS to the panel.
4. In the Panel Wide Parameters > On Board Ethernet Communicator settings:
  - Set IPv4 DHCP/AutoIP Enable to No.
  - Enter an IP address for the panel in the IPv4 Address field.
  - Set UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Enable to Yes.
  - Take note of the panel's IPv4 address and TCP/UDP port number. They're required to add the panel to Security Center SaaS.
5. In the Automation/Remote App settings:
  - Set Automation Device to Mode 2.
  - Set the Automation Passcode.
  - Take note of the automation passcode. It's required to add the panel to Security Center SaaS.
6. Click Save.

The panel can now communicate with Security Center SaaS.
