Question

Under most circumstances, Bosch IP cameras require additional licenses.

If you want to use features that are covered by different licenses, you must install the appropriate licenses using the camera's installation code.

For example:

• MIC IP starlight 7100i has the Camera Trainer program used to train the camera to recognize user-specified target objects, such as moving and non-moving objects, to alert operators of unusual scene activity. License is required to activate the Camera Trainer in this case.
• MVC-CT-PTZ is the license needed for PTZs Camera Trainer for Intelligent Video Analytics 7.10

But where can you find the installation code needed to license a Bosch camera?
