The Bosch VMS software reduces costs by harnessing the power and convenience of existing IP networks. It enables live and recorded images from any site to be viewed at any time, from any location, to provide complete management and control of an installation. Its integrated schedule and user management structures enable security access rights to be tailored to your organization’s existing policies. It utilizes redundancy and fail-over technologies to drive mission-critical applications. And because the Bosch VMS is scalable, it gives you the fl exibility to start small and expand the system as needed. It is ideal for a wide range of security applications, including government, banks, airports, railways, traffi c, and university campuses.

The Bosch VMS comprises four software components:

1 Central Server software provides management, monitoring, and control of the entire system.

2 Network Video Recorder (NVR) software provides recording and playback management of video, audio, and data.

3 Confi guration Client software provides the user interface for system confi guration and management.

4 Operator Client software provides the user interface for system monitoring and operation.

A complete video security solution over IP

IT: “A manageable asset”.

These software components can be run together on a single PC for small systems or on separate PCs and servers for large systems. Multiple NVRs and client workstations can be used as needed to suit any size application. NVRs can be designated to operate in fail-over mode, with a single fail-over NVR able to serve a large number of primary NVRs for cost-effective redundancy. You can choose to purchase the servers and workstations directly from Bosch, or to use the components of your choice.

Flexible storage and schedulingEach camera can be confi gured for both minimum storage time (e.g. video for one camera must be stored for at least 30 days) and maximum storage times (e.g. video for another camera must be deleted after 45 days). Up to 10 different recording schedules can be specifi ed, each with independent per-camera recording settings. These can be programmed, for example, to provide different frame rates for day, night and weekend periods. Special settings can be programmed for holidays and exception days.

In addition to fl exible recording schedules, advanced ‘task schedules’ can be programmed. These schedules can be used to specify, for example, allowed log-on times for user groups, when events should trigger alarms, and when back-ups should occur.

Fine-grain control of user privileges and prioritiesAccess rights to specifi c cameras, priority for pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control, rights for exporting video, and access rights to the system log fi les can be set per user group. And camera rights are controlled to the next level – you can individually control access to live, playback, audio, PTZ control, preset control, and auxiliary commands per camera.

CustomizableThe logical and intuitive structure of the Bosch VMS Confi guration Client allows you to easily get your system into operation. If the embedded functionality needs tailoring for your specifi c installation, you can use the built-in command script editor to control virtually all parts of the system. The scripts can be invoked by the operators or automatically in response to system events. You can also integrate other systems to the Bosch VMS - the Virtual Input software interface allows these systems to trigger events, which are then processed by the Bosch VMS’s fl exible and powerful event management system.

Protect your investmentThe Bosch VMS allows you to easily reuse your existing analog cameras by connecting them to our industry-leading single and multi-channel encoders. Our DiBos 8 DVR can also be seamlessly integrated, allowing you to easily and transparently access its live video, recorded video and status information. By adding video encoders to monitor outputs, an Allegiant video matrix switch can become part of your Bosch VMS, with seamless access to the Allegiant video and events.

Never stop recording with cost-effective N+1 redundancyWith its N+1 NVR Redundancy feature (N Primary NVRs + 1 Failover NVR), the Bosch VMS will continue to record even in the event of equipment failure. The central server keeps a history of what is stored where, so your operators don’t have to worry about where to search for vital data.

Rest assured – your entire system is constantly monitoredCameras, computer hardware, software, and the network are constantly monitored by the Bosch VMS. You can view the status of your system from anywhere, and receive automatic alerts in case of problems. These alerts can be via emails, SMS messages, and alarms in the Operator Client software.

Security Manager:“Thanks to the Bosch Video Management System I can now provide my company with greater protection and integrated control”.

Anywhere, anytime in real-timeFor the Security Manager, the Bosch VMS provides tremendous fl exibility. Cameras, recorders, and viewing stations can be placed anywhere in an IP network. All live and archived video data can be viewed at a single or numerous work stations simultaneously, at any location. The Bosch VMS provides system-wide event and alarm management, system health monitoring, user and priority management from installations that span buildings, campuses, cities, countries, or even continents!

Easier, cost-effective installationThe Bosch VMS uses the comprehensive network infrastructure already present in most buildings today, eliminating the need for special coax cabling. Installation and system maintenance costs are considerably reduced. All set-up and confi guration can be carried out from any location. Automatic discovery, automatic assignment of IP addresses, and advanced copy facilities speed up system confi guration and ensure consistency throughout the application.

Easier, more effi cient operationBosch’s knowledge and experience in user interface design for video security applications is second to none. This reputation is once again confi rmed in the Bosch VMS user interface. The ergonomic interface reduces the complexity of video management, allowing personnel to operate more effi ciently and effectively. Advanced timeline facilities allow you to search quickly and easily for important video. With a few mouse clicks, you can select a video clip and protect it from overwrite, export it to DVD, or verify its authenticity. The intelligent search and synchronous playback system makes it easy to see what occurred on related cameras during an incident. With the multiple-instant-playback feature, it’s even possible to review incidents while simultaneously viewing live video. Zoomable site maps make navigation and camera selection easier, while the overview map makes the displayed area easier to visualize and understand. And every user can customize his own ‘favorites’ tree with frequently accessed cameras, sequences, or even entire multi-camera screens.

Sophisticated event and alarm managementIn an alarm situation, a quick response is essential for protecting life and property. The Bosch VMS has been designed to ensure that the most critical events are easily identifi ed and managed. Alarms can be schedule-dependent, and can be individually allocated to specifi c user groups for processing. Alarm video is displayed in a special Alarm Image Window, so users don’t have to search their screens to fi nd the alarm images. Each alarm is displayed in a separate video row, with up to fi ve image panes that can display live or playback video, related documents, or site maps to pinpoint the source of the alarm. High priority alarms are always displayed on top, ensuring that they get the proper attention. The system can even be programmed to selectively pop-up the alarm video for the most important alarms.

At your fi ngertipsBosch VMS workstations can be connected to up to four monitors, each of which can be confi gured to show live streaming video, playback video, site maps or alarms. With our unique fl exible image pane control, you can tailor your view as needed, and easily save and recall these views using your personal ‘favorites’ tree. And complete virtual matrix capabilities provide familiar features of salvo sequencing, user priority management, and analog monitor control.

System intelligence allows you to focus on the important eventsUsing Advanced Video Content Analysis (VCA) techniques, the Bosch VMS ensures that important events are recognized as they happen. Advanced motion detection, for example, analyzes object size, direction, and speed. It can detect objects entering or leaving designated areas, and detect idle objects, which helps you prevent incidents rather than just record them.

More than just video – transaction data and audio supportAs well as managing security video, the Bosch VMS provides facilities for managing information such as point-of-sale and automatic teller machine data. Audio channels can also be monitored and recorded with the system.

Security Operator:“With this video management system, I can operate more effi ciently and respond faster”.

Easy user management with LDAP The integrated user management supports an open proto-col (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, or LDAP) that allows easy integration with enterprise user management systems, such as Microsoft Active Directory. This means that when new personnel are added to the master user database, they need simply to be assigned to the appropriate user group. They are then immediately recognized at all security workstations, with the appropriate rights and privileges.

Secure and fi rewall friendlyThe Bosch VMS supports the latest .NET remoting technology. It is both secure and fi rewall friendly, requiring only two defi nable open ports. In addition, all commands in the VMS are encrypted, protecting against command snooping and hostile access to vital functions.

System health monitoring extends to the network The Bosch VMS supports both Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON) to monitor network and other third-party equipment. It can automatically send alerts due to equipment failures or problems such as excessive loading.

Central deployment of Client UpdatesUpdating client PCs is easy – simply install the updates on the Central Server, and they are automatically deployed to all of the client workstations. This saves time and effort, and ensures that all clients are at the proper revision.

IT:“This video management system makes security a manageable asset”.

Standard network infrastructure, standard IT equipmentThe Bosch VMS uses industry-standard IT server, storage, and workstation components, so you can use your existing vendors and service agreements. Alternatively, properly confi gured servers and workstations can be provided by Bosch.
