Bosch Recording Station Introduction | en 7

2	Introduction
2.1	System Description
	The Bosch Recording Station is a monitoring software program that saves video images
	recorded by IP cameras directly on site and transmits them across any distance to any
	location determined by you. Analog cameras can be connected via an encoder.
	The Bosch Recording Station can be used for a variety of purposes such as, for instance, in
	banks, large retail stores, railway stations, airports, city centers, industrial complexes and
	office buildings.
	The system offers extended display characteristics, very high flexibility for recording as well
	as fast and easy access to video images and information. Video images can be called up at any
	location worldwide 24/7. Communication with and access to the Bosch Recording Station
	take place via the private or public network. To this end the system can be connected to a
	number of peripheral devices and systems.
	Search and navigation functions in the tree structure make it easy to reproduce recorded
	images. Images can be accessed locally or remotely via a corporate network or the internet.
	Several different camera views can be selected. Fast and powerful image search functions
	make time-consuming manual searches unnecessary. Functions include searching for image
	changes (Smart Motion Search) as well as searching by criteria such as camera number and
	the date and time of recording.
	Access is controlled via user authorizations to maintain a high level of security. Events such as
	login, logout, status change, image transmission and system shutdown are stored in a
	database. Integrated video authentication prevents images being manipulated.
	Various storage devices such as external disk arrays, RAID and NAS devices and external hard
	disks can be used to retrieve and store images.
	Installation is quick and easy thanks to a configuration wizard. Bosch alarm systems,
	automated teller machines, Allegiant matrix switches and foyer card readers can be
	connected to serial inputs.
2.2	Supported Operating Systems
	The Bosch Recording Station is compatible with the following operating systems:

– Windows 7 (32-bit/64-bit)

– Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)

– Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

– Windows XP Professional SP 3 (32-bit)

– Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)

Note:

Observe the installation requirements for the individual operating systems!

The Quick Installation Guide provides you with information on installation requirements and a detailed description of how to complete the initial installation process using the configuration wizard.

2.3 Virus Scanner/Windows Firewall

NOTICE!

We recommend that you install a virus scanner and firewall to protect against computer viruses, computer worms and Trojans.

2.3.1	Virus Scanners
	Always use the most up-to-date virus scanner.

Note:

–The virus scanner can affect the performance of the system.

–The real-time virus scanner must be activated to ensure sufficient protection against viruses.

–If possible, all partitions on the hard disk that contain saved images should be excluded from the scanning process.

–If possible, the C drive should be scanned at scheduled times. We recommend you carry out a scan on a weekly basis. When the C disk is scanned, the performance of the system is noticeably lowered and with it the image retrieval and storage rates.

Individual images may be lost.

–Removable drives, e. g. USB memory sticks, USB drives, CD/DVD drives and diskette drives, must be manually checked when inserted to ensure sufficient protection.

2.3.2	Configuring Windows Firewall
		We recommend that you disable the Windows firewall. If the Windows firewall is activated,
		the following exceptions must be added and selected in the Windows firewall:
		Bosch Recording Station
		Exceptions in Windows firewall settings
		ConnectionServer.exe
		DBServer.exe
		DiBosExplorer.exe
		DomeCameraUnit.exe
		DVRServiceShimWrapper.exe
		JobServer.exe
		Parametrierung.exe
		VCSModule.exe
		VSDKPluginModule.exe
		DCOM (TCP) Port 135
		DCOM (UDP) Port 135
		Remote Configuration (TCP) Port 8080

Note:

–The Bosch Recording Station processes must also be activated in the firewall of the virus scanner software.

–The ports required to bypass the firewall can be set in the configuration.

Saving camera positions

You can specify positions for dome cameras and pan/tilt cameras to which you can repeatedly pan automatically or manually. The user can quickly select these positions in the live image, provided that these have been enabled for his level of authorization. An automatic go-to if an event occurs is also possible.

Proceed as follows to save a new position:

–Select a free ID.

–Pan the camera to the position and zoom the image as desired.

–Save the procedure.

		moves to this camera position.

		Move the mouse cursor around in the camera image until the
		directional arrow points in the direction in which you want to
		pan the camera. Then hold the left mouse button down. The

		left mouse button pressed).
