CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Digital video recorder for security applications
The Divar is a video recording system that can record multiple camera signals
while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and playback. It
combines the functionality of a digital recorder with a multiplexer and a
switcher.
The unit has comprehensive search (including a smart motion search) and
playback facilities for viewing stored video. Once set up, all recording takes
place in the background without requiring operator intervention. Maximum
recording rates of 60 (NTSC) and 50 (PAL) images per second in total are
guaranteed with unsynchronized cameras. The recording rate and quality are
selectable per camera.
Bosch Security Systems
All models have extensive alarm handling functions and telemetry control.
Alarm functions include motion detection in user-definable areas of the image
on any camera input.
The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the front panel control
keys and on-screen display menu system. One monitor output provides fullscreen, quad and multiscreen viewing; another spot/alarm monitoring. A
keyboard can be connected for PTZ control and to improve the ease-of-use.
Via a network, the Control Center PC-application can be used for live viewing,
playback and configuration. Six simultaneous users can control multiple Divars.
The Divar includes an authenticity check for both local and remote playback. A
dedicated PC player is provided for playback of secure video files. Additionally,
Divar | Installation Manual | Introduction EN | 1-2
a web browser on a PC can be used to view live images or playback recordings
from a Divar. The PC-based Configuration Tool facilitates the setup of the unit.
ATM/POS transaction data can be recorded and viewed if the Divar is
connected to an ATM or POS device via an ATM/POS bridge unit and has a
license installed.
Looping auto-terminating video inputs, video outputs, alarm inputs and outputs,
and remote control connectors are on the rear panel. The two monitor outputs
provide CVBS video signals in either NTSC or PAL. Monitor A displays fullscreen or multiscreen digital pictures that can be frozen and zoomed. Monitor B
displays live full-screen pictures.
Versions
There are various Divar models; 6-channel, 9-channel and 16-channel, each with
various storage capacities. In addition, a Divar can have one or both of the
following:
• An internal DVD writer
• Bilinx-enabled camera inputs
A Divar with an internal DVD writer allows you to make archives locally
without the need for a PC. The writer supports DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R and
CD-RW media.
A Divar Bilinx supports the use of Bilinx cameras. Bilinx technology embeds
control commands in the video signal enabling direct camera access and control
through a single video coaxial cable.
This manual describes the 16-channel version with an internal DVD writer and
Bilinx-enabled camera inputs.
Both 6-channel and 9-channel versions operate in exactly the same way except
that fewer cameras can be connected, there are fewer camera keys and the
number of multiscreen views is reduced. Instructions that only apply to the
internal DVD writer or Bilinx functionality are indicated by a double (**) or
triple (***) asterix respectively. If your unit has neither of these facilities, then
please skip these instructions.
Features
The Divar has the following features:
• 6, 9 or 16 looped-through, auto-terminating camera inputs (with embedded
Bilinx communication facilities***).
• Simultaneous recording and playback.
• Smart motion search.
• Internal hard disk video storage.
• Narrow SCSI port for external SCSI storage expansion.
• 10/100Base-T Ethernet port for Ethernet connection and networking.
• RS232 serial port for serial communications.
• External keyboard input and output ports for keyboard connection and
system expansion.
• Dual monitor outputs.
• Full-screen and various multiscreen display capabilities in live and playback
modes.
• Spot monitor output with sequencing and OSD.
• Motion detection.
• 16 switching (alarm) inputs and 4 alarm outputs.
• Compatibility with Bosch D9000 series control panels.
• Video loss detection.
• Audible alarm.
• Automatic protection of video clips on input alarm.
• Pan, tilt and zoom camera control.
• Internal DVD writer**.
• Supports ATM/POS devices (external bridge required).

www.boschsecuritysystems.com.
• After making an archive with the DVD writer, we advise you to test the CD
or DVD media to verify that the archived data can be played back on a PC.
• To update the Archive Player software that is written to a CD/DVD when a
local archive is made, insert the supplied CD into the DVD writer. The
Divar automatically detects new Archive Player software. Follow the
instructions that appear on your monitor screen to load the latest Archive
Player software.
• The DVD writer supports the following write speeds:
DVD+R / DVD+RW: 4x (or higher)
CD-R: 40x (or higher)
