NBC 255-W and 265-W Wireless Connection Guide
Objective: This wireless connection guide is designed to assist with establishing wireless connectivity between typical commercially
available wireless routers and Bosch NBC 255-W / NBC 265-W cameras.
Minimum prerequisites prior to starting:
The NBC Camera should be assembled as per the directions of the quick installation guide provided with the camera
o Wireless antenna is attached
o SD card is installed
o Power adapter is connected to the camera
Bosch Video Client and Configuration Manager software should be installed on your PC
A physical Ethernet connection to the camera established
Access to an 802.11 B, G, or backwards compatible N wireless router
o NOTE: If using an 802.11N router, review the manufacturer’s specifications for compatibility with 802.11G products. If
the router is not backwards compatible it will not communicate with the camera.
Step 1: Assigning an IP address to the NBC Camera
The first step in establishing wireless communications is to
assign a static IP address to the NBC camera. Open the
Configuration Manager application on your PC.
Once the program is opened you should see the
NBC camera appear in the “Network” column as
shown. By default all Bosch encoders and network
cameras come with a factory default IP address of
192.168.0.1.
Manual Assignment: You can assign an IP address
manually or by using the Configuration Wizard. We
will cover the manual method first. Simply right-click
the camera in the “Network” column and the select
“Device Network Settings…” as shown.
Once the “Network settings” menu is open enter valid
IP address information for the desired network and
select “OK”. After selecting “OK: the camera will
reboot.
o NOTE: Most off-the-shelf home wireless
routers come preconfigured in a 192.168.1.x
address range (Private C Class Address).
For this guide we will use an address of
192.168.1.200.
