VideoJet 8008 / VideoJet 8004 | Installation and Operating Manual

EN | 11

Overview of functions

Network video server

VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are network video servers for eight indepen­dent video channels. They are primarily designed for encoding video and control
data for transmission over an IP network. With the audio versions, audio signals
can also be transmitted to and from compatible units. The use of existing net­works means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be
achieved quickly and easily.

The VideoJet 8008 offers full D1/4CIF resolution at a complete image rate of
25 images per second for 8 channels. The VideoJet 8004 is the more economic
variant with half the image rate per channel.

VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are designed as desktop units and intended for
installation in the switch cabinet. Mounting in a 19-inch rack using the mounting kit
supplied is a quick and easy operation.

Receiver

Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders (for example the VIP XD) can
be used as receivers. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS or
computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used
as receivers.

Video encoding

VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 use the MPEG-4 video compression stan­dard. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high
image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits. In
this manner, the simultaneous encoding of all eight video channels is supported.

Dual Streaming in the VideoJet 8008

Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously
according to two different, individually customized profiles. With VideoJet 8008,
two data streams are created per camera that can serve different purposes, for
example, one can be used for local recording and one can be optimized for
transmission over the LAN.

The VideoJet 8004 does not offer Dual Streaming.

Bosch Security Systems | 2006-07 | V1.5 Product description

EN | 12

Installation and Operating Manual | VideoJet 8008 / VideoJet 8004

Multicast

In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous
real-time video transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 pro­tocols must be implemented on the network for this function.

DVR

The integrated hard drive means that VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 can be
used as digital video recorders for local long-term recording. Both units support
ANR technology, which guarantees seamless recording without gaps with
VIDOS-NVR, even during network failures.

Remote control

For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or
motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the bidirectional serial
interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.

Configuration

The units can be configured with a Web browser via the local network (Intranet)
or via the Internet. In the same way, firmware updates and fast loading of device
configurations are possible.

Snapshots

Individual video images (snapshots) can be called up from the unit, stored on the
computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window in JPEG format.

Backup

The LIVEPAGE and MEDIA-REPLAY pages both contain an icon for saving the
video images shown as a file on your computer's hard drive. Video sequences
can be stored by means of a mouse click and can be redisplayed using the
MPEG viewer supplied as part of the scope of delivery.

Profile name:

You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then displayed in
the MPEG-4 encoder field in the list of selectable profiles.

Target data rate:

You can limit the data rate for the unit to optimize utilization of the bandwidth in
your network. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture
quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.

For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent
movements, this limit can be temporarily exceeded up to the value you enter in
the Max. data rate field.

Max. data rate:

This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending
on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in indi­vidual images being skipped.

The value entered here should be at least 10% higher than the value entered in
the Target data rate field.

P-frame video quality:

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frames depending on
the movement within the image. The Auto option automatically adjusts to the
optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). Selecting Man-

ual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on the slide bar. The value
4 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate

depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 31 results in a
very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

I-frame video quality:

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The Auto
option automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video
quality. Selecting Manual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on the
slide bar. The value 4 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a
lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate.
A value of 31 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

I-frame distance:

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be
coded. 0 means auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as nec­essary. An entry of 1 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated.
An entry of 2 indicates that only every second image is an I-frame, and 3 only
every third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.

Encoding interval:

The figure selected here determines the interval at which images are encoded
and transmitted. For example, entering 4 means that only every fourth image is
encoded, the following three are skipped - this can be particularly advantageous
with low bandwidths.

Video resolution:

Here you can select the desired resolution for the MPEG-4 video image.
The following resolutions are available:

❚ QCIF 176 × 144/120 pixels

❚ CIF 352 × 288/240 pixels

Caution

Alarm tracks must be set up in the required partition for alarm recording
(see Number of alarm tracks, page 43).

The unit uses a special recording mode during alarm recording for optimal usage
of storage capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm recording begins, a record­ing is continuously made on one segment, which is the size of a complete alarm
sequence (pre- and post-alarm time).

This segment in the partition functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and is
overwritten until an alarm is actually triggered. Recording occurs on the segment
only for the duration of the preset post-alarm time and a new segment subse­quently used in the same manner.

This ensures that the alarm recorded is always secured for its entire duration
and the space required to save each alarm recording is easy to calculate.

Number of alarm tracks:

Password

A unit is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to
the unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.

Note

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authoriza­tion levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is as­signed, for example, a service and a user password must also be set.
When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the
highest authorization level.

User name:

The unit operates with three user names: service, user and live, which corre­spond to different authorization levels.

The service user name is the highest authorization level. After entering the cor­rect password, this user name allows you to use all the functions of the unit and
change all configuration settings.

The user user name is the middle authorization level. You use it to operate the
unit and also to control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the con­figuration.

The live user name is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to view
the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.

Password:

You can define and change a separate password for each user name if you are
logged in as service or if the unit is not password protected.

Enter the password for the selected user name here.

Gateway IP address:

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different
subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box blank
(0.0.0.0).

Ethernet link type:

If the unit is connected to the network via a switch, both must have the same
default for the type of network connection. If necessary, ask your network admin­istrator what value the switch is set to.

The Auto setting automatically detects the network connection. If necessary,
you can specify the value 10 or 100 MBit/s for full or half-duplex mode (FD or

HD) or 1 GBit/s FD.

Caution

Malfunctions such as image faults can occur if the network does not have
enough capacity to transmit the maximum data rate generated by the unit.

Dynamic DNS server IP address:

When operating a unit on the Internet, dynamic addresses are used to ensure
efficient use of the available IP address pool. That is, the unit is reassigned a
(changing) IP address each time a new connection is made. Access is easier if
the unit is listed in a DNS server. It registers there at regular intervals and leaves
the unit name and its IP address. If you wish to establish an Internet connection
to a unit, it is sufficient to enter the appropriate unit name together with the URL
of the DNS server. This then reports on the current Internet IP address used to
establish the connection.

Dynamic DNS contact interval:

Enter the desired refresh interval in seconds here.

Multicasting

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (uni­cast), the unit can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an
encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and
then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data
stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to
multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). For each of the eight encoders,
you can enter a separate multicast address and the relevant port for each
stream.

For Dual Streaming compatible units, you can toggle between the streams by
clicking the appropriate tab pages.

Note

Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the
UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group
management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not sup­port multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast opera­tion in a multicast-enabled network.

The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Manage­ment Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255.

Bosch Security Systems | 2006-07 | V1.5 Configuration using a Web browser

EN | 58

Installation and Operating Manual | VideoJet 8008 / VideoJet 8004

The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it will be
necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are
not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.

Note

The settings must be made individually for each video input and, on
Dual Streaming compatible units, for each stream. The numbering is the
same as the labeling of the video inputs on the rear panel of the unit.

Multicast address video 1 to Multicast address video 8:

Enter a valid multicast address for each stream from the relevant encoder to be
operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network).

With the setting 0.0.0.0 the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-uni­cast mode (copying of data streams in the unit). The unit supports multi-unicast
connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.

Note

Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can lead to im­pairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.

Multicast port 1 to Multicast port 8:

Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data
streams at the same multicast address.

Enter the port address of the required stream here.

Streaming:

Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream.
The selected check boxes are marked with a tick.

Multicast packet TTL:

You can enter a value to specify how long the multicast data packets are active
on the network. This value must be greater than one if multicast is to be run via
a router.

Multicast address audio: (audio versions only)

For special applications, you can enter a separate multicast address for the
audio data stream.

Password

A unit is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the
unit. You can use different authorization levels to limit access.

Note

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authoriza­tion levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is as­signed, for example, a service and a user password must also be set.
When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the
highest authorization level.

User name:

The unit operates with three user names: service, user and live, which corre­spond to different authorization levels.

The service user name is the highest authorization level. After entering the cor­rect password, this user name allows you to use all the functions of the unit and
change all configuration settings.

The user user name is the middle authorization level. You use it to operate the
unit and also to control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the con­figuration.

The live user name is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to view
the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.

Password:

You can define and change a separate password for each user name if you are
logged in as service or if the unit is not password protected.

Enter the password for the selected user name here.

Target data rate:

You can limit the data rate for the unit to optimize utilization of the bandwidth in
your network. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture
quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.

For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent
movements, this limit can be temporarily exceeded up to the value you enter in
the Max. data rate field.

Max. data rate:

This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending
on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in indi­vidual images being skipped.

The value entered here should be at least 10% higher than the value entered in
the Target data rate field.

P-frame video quality:

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frames depending on
the movement within the image. The Auto option automatically adjusts to the
optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). Selecting

Manual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on the slide bar. The value
4 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate

depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 31 results in a
very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

I-frame video quality:

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The Auto
option automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video
quality. Selecting Manual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on the
slide bar. The value 4 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a
lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate.
A value of 31 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

I-frame distance:

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be
coded. 0 means auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames as nec­essary. An entry of 1 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An
entry of 2 indicates that only every second image is an I-frame, and 3 only every
third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.

Partitioning

Eight partitions can be set up for the unit's hard drive, in a similar manner to the
partitioning often found on computer hard drives. Parameters such as size, qual­ity and type of video recording or compression standard used can be specified
for each partition. Modifying these parameters leads to reorganization, during
which stored data is lost.

The unit requires a dedicated partition for the recordings of each connected
camera. Each partition is linked to its own encoder or camera input: camera
input Video 1 with partition number 01, camera input Video 2 with partition
02 etc. This assignment cannot be modified. As a result, all numbers are always
displayed in the list, regardless of whether a corresponding partition is available
or has been deleted. For recording from eight cameras, it is necessary to con­figure all eight possible partitions. Eight partitions are already preset in the
default configuration.

All partitions are listed in the table on the Partitioning page together with their
partition name, number, quality type and size.

In addition, the page provides you with an overview of the drive data, for exam­ple total memory, number of partitions created and the partitioned and unparti­tioned memory space. A pie chart indicates how much memory space is parti­tioned for recordings.

Creating a partition

Caution

Modifications to the size or number of partitions lead to the entire hard
drive being reorganized and the loss of all sequences stored on the drive.
Consequently, you should check the recordings before any modification to
the parameters mentioned and back up important sequences on the com­puter's hard drive.

Note

If the maximum number of eight partitions has been set up, you can only
create a new partition after deleting at least one of the existing partitions
(see page 86).

Creating a new partition is performed using separate help windows in which
information is presented to you and you are led step by step through the neces­sary settings.

The process most be completed for each partition to be set up on the hard drive.
After starting up the wizard, you can select the total number of partitions to be
set up. The wizard is then automatically started up as often as necessary to con­figure all the partitions.

Note

You can create multiple partitions of the same type in one process. To do
this, check the Apply same settings for all new partitions box in the first
window of the wizard.

Alarm recording

Installation and Operating Manual | VideoJet 8008 / VideoJet 8004

Here, you can specify the times during which continuous recording to the hard
drives should take place in the event of an alarm.

As with time recording, there are separate selection fields for each partition and
thus for each camera input. You can select up to 16 separate periods for each day
of the week. Alarm recording occurs only during the highlighted time intervals.

Note

If a time interval has already been selected for time recording, you cannot
select it for alarm recording (see Time recording, page 88).

Caution

Alarm tracks must be set up in the required partition for alarm recording
(see Number of alarm tracks, page 91).

The unit uses a special recording mode during alarm recording for optimal usage
of storage capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm recording begins, a record­ing is continuously made on one segment, which is the size of a complete alarm
sequence (pre- and post-alarm time).

This segment in the partition functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and is
overwritten until an alarm is actually triggered. Recording occurs on the segment
only for the duration of the preset post-alarm time and a new segment subse­quently used in the same manner.

This ensures that the alarm recorded is always secured for its entire duration
and the space required to save each alarm recording is easy to calculate.

Number of alarm tracks:

Select the number of alarm tracks to be used in the partition. One alarm event
can be recorded in each alarm track. Accordingly, the number of alarms entered
can be recorded and archived. A partition can contain a maximum of 128 alarm
recordings.

If the Ring mode option (see page 93) is set for the partition, the latest alarm
recordings are always saved in the preset number. If the Linear mode option is

Motion detector

The unit has an integrated video sensor that can detect changes in the video sig­nal on the basis of image processing. Such changes are due primarily to move­ments in the camera's field of view.

You can configure the video sensor for any encoder, i.e. for any connected cam­era.

The sensitivity of the video sensor can be adjusted, so that an alarm is generated
only if specified values are exceeded. Various options for tamper protection allow
you to set the reaction to tampering with cameras and video lines.

In order for the sensor to function, the following conditions must be met:

❚ The motion detector must be enabled.

❚ At least one sensor field must be activated.

❚ The individual parameters must be set for the operating environment and the

desired responses configured.

❚ The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker
the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Min. object size

You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to
generate an alarm. This is to prevent objects that are too small from triggering
an alarm.

A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor
