If you are using different profile on Spotter side, please add this Text Channel to wanted profile, without this you can’t see this Text Channel on Spotter
If everything works, you should see some event data in Text Channel
When everything is working and you can see data on Text Channel you can use System Manager to do alarms based on camera metadata events.
NOTE
If you modified UDD file but don’t change name of this file. VMS update will overwrite this file. Please make copy or use own file name for modified UDD file which you can then update to text channel Configuration file.
Bosch IVA configuration is made using Bosch Configuration Manager which is separate tool for configuration.
We use default metadata event names.
Troubleshooting
No data in Text Channel
Check configuration and test that camera is working as normal on VMS side.
Check Text Channel username and password.
Event missing
If there is event missing, you can add this to XML file and then restart services to reload this new file.
