Building on DiBos technology the Recording Station
uses Bosch’s proven video management, recording and
communications technology and takes IP based video
surveillance to a new level. It forms an integral part of
overall security solutions for many applications – in­cluding banks, large retailers, railway stations, city
centers, industrial facilities and office buildings.
With Recording Station you can retrieve live and recor­ded video from anywhere in the network. Whether
they are on site or at a remote network location, au­thorized personnel have quick, convenient access to
all information making Recording Station the perfect
solution for surveillance over distributed networks.
Recording Station supports live viewing and recording
at any resolution up to 2048 x 1536 pixels (3 Megapix­el) including HD widescreen resolutions. It manages
up to 64 IP video sources (Bosch and 3rd party) that
are compatible to the following video compression
standards:

• Bosch H.264

• Bosch MPEG-4

• Axis MPEG-4

• MJPEG via HTTP and TFTP

The unique, scalable GUI allows live and recorded im­ages from multiple remote stations to be viewed from
a single PC (receiver station). With this powerful func-

tion, security managers can monitor and supervise
multiple locations simultaneously even if remote sta­tions are connected through a WAN.
Each camera offers in-window pan/tilt/zoom function­ality from local or remote facilities. Images are dis­played with date/time, location, camera name and the
status of connected devices such as detectors and
sensors.
Recording Station can be programmed to respond to
specific situations and events automatically. In re­sponse to alarms, the system can be programmed to
record at a higher quality and to transmit images or
messages to security personnel.
Playback is easy thanks to familiar search and naviga­tion functions using a graphical timeline control. Users
can playback recordings from multiple stations simul­taneously and synchronously on one interface. Fast,
powerful image search functions like the Smart Motion
Search eliminate time consuming manual searches.
Export the video to an archive with the push of a sin­gle button - all digitally watermarked to ensure the
credibility of your recordings. You can even export
multiple cameras from different recorders. Use the
scheduled export to recurrently backup your record­ings on various storage devices, such as external disk
arrays and NAS (network attached storage).

To ensure the highest security, all system access is
controlled by multiple user authorization levels which
determine individual permissions for each user to a
very high level of detail. These authorization levels de­termine what a user can do in the system. Elements
such as camera viewing and control, playback and ex­port of recordings, as well the types of system configu­ration settings that are allowed can be individually
configured.
Events, such as login, log-off, status changes, image
transmission, video export, and system shutdown are
logged in a database and can be easily imported to
spreadsheet programs like MS Excel. Video authentica­tion is built-in to detect any attempt to alter the recor­ded images.
Recording Station provides various interfaces to other
systems such as Bosch access solutions and alarm
panels, as well as external systems like ATM and POS
terminals, fire alarm systems, number plate capture
equipment and video content analysis solutions.
Integration with other security and building manage­ment systems is accomplished using OPC (OLE for
Process Control). When even tighter integration is re­quired, our VideoSDK provides you with a complete
toolbox of modules for playback, searching, viewing
and much, much more.
Use Recording Station in a LAN environment with
Bosch Video Management System to advance to a true
enterprise solution which provides a comprehensive
feature set such as centralized user, event and alarm
management, multi-monitor workstations with zoom
able sitemaps and CCTV keyboard control.
For special cases when the customer wants to be
hardware independent we offer a USB dongle that pro­vides a unique Computer Signature (Dongle ID). Re­cording Station still needs to be licensed via a soft­ware authorization and SLMS.
This USB dongle also can be used in case the Comput­er Signature changes on every start of Recording Sta­tion caused by for example

• RAID which covers / alters the HDD IDs or provides
an own - mostly cryptically - hardware ID

• Windows 7 / Server 2008 which shows only these
MACs which are actually connected

• Different Windows users which have different permis­sions to access PC hardware
