Cloud VMS Configuration: How to configure Cloud Storage

Bosch Cloud VMS allows event-based and continuous cloud recording of connected cameras. This function is independent from storage of alarm/event clips that are part of "Alarm Management".

Please make sure that these pre-conditions are met:

You have access to a VSaaS/Cloud VMS instance

The camera that you want to configure for Cloud Storage is connected to the Cloud VMS

1. Your Bosch camera is connected via the Remote Portal to Cloud VMS
2. Your 3rd party camera is connected directly with the Cloud VMS

You have activated the appropriate Cloud Storage license in Remote Portal for the respective Camera

Step-by-step guide

1. In Cloud VMS Configuration, configure Recording Mode and Cloud Storage.

Note: Pre-alarm recording is not available for ONVIF cameras.

Set the right recording mode and the appropriate retention time.

Standard retention times are 7, 14, 30 days of retention. Exceptions and specific retention times can be offered on request for users of a dedicated VSaaS instance.

The storage size is fixed and defined by the activated license in the Remote Portal.

After configuration your cloud camera is all set and you should be able to see video from the camera in the Cloud VMS Live View.

3. Video Control/Cloud VMS Live View

You can reach the Live View by logging into your VSaaS instance as an operator.

The HTML5 Video Control then provides the following functionality for live video and playback of the cloud recording.
