1 Introduction
1.1 Digital video recorder for security applications
The Divar XF is a video and audio recording system that records multiple camera and audio signals while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and playback. The unit has comprehensive search and playback facilities for viewing stored video. Once configured, all recording takes place in the background without requiring operator intervention. Maximum recording rates of 30 (NTSC) and 25 (PAL) images per second, per channel, are guaranteed. The recording rate and quality are selectable per camera. Up to four internal hard disks can be used to provide various storage capacities for recording. 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, mouse, and the on-screen display menu system. Two monitor outputs provide full-screen, quad, and multiscreen viewing. Connect a KBD (Intuikey) keyboard for PTZ control and to improve the ease-of-use. Looping auto-terminating video inputs and outputs, audio inputs and outputs, alarm inputs and outputs, and remote control connectors are on the rear panel. Two VGA connectors provide outputs for an A and a B monitor. CVBS and Y/C video outputs in either NTSC or PAL are also provided. Monitor A displays full-screen or multiscreen digital pictures that can be frozen and zoomed. Monitor B displays live full-screen or multiscreen pictures. Use the Control Center PC-application via a network for live viewing, playback, and configuration. Five simultaneous users can control multiple Divar XFs. The Divar XF includes an authenticity check for both local and remote playback. A dedicated PC player is provided for playback of secure video files. The PC-based Configuration Tool facilitates the installation of the unit. An SDK (software development kit) is available to integrate the Divar XF into third party management software.
1.1.1 Versions
There are various Divar XF models; 8-channel and 16-channel, each with various storage capacities. Both 8-channel and 16-channel versions operate in exactly the same way except that fewer camera, audio, and alarm inputs are present, and the number of available multiscreen views differs.

3.9 Triggers and alarms
Various types of events change the way the unit works. These events are: – an alarm input signal applied to the unit; – motion detection in a camera signal; – a loss of video from one of the cameras; – an internal alert from the unit itself (i.e. disk failure, temperature alarm). The way the unit reacts to events depends on how it is programmed. An event can cause either a trigger or an alarm. A trigger changes the way the unit works but does not require a response from the user. An alarm also changes the way the unit works but, in addition, usually activates several indicators and requires the user to acknowledge the alarm situation. The unit reacts to an event in any one of the following ways:
Alarms
– A beeper sounds. – A status message is displayed.
F.01U.074.599 | V 1.0 | 2008.03 User manual Bosch Security Systems
Divar XF Operating instructions | en 29
– An alarm icon is displayed. – The border around a cameo changes color to red.
– An alarm or video loss indicator flashes.
– The indicator on the key flashes. – An output relay is activated.
Alarms and triggers
– A motion indicator flashes. – The view modes on the monitors change. – A controllable camera might be moved to a pre-defined position. – Recording behavior changes. – The unit changes the way it operates via pre-defined profiles.
Background events
Triggers and alarms can change background tasks that a user may not notice. Unit responses that are not visible to the user are, for example, a change in recording speed, the activation of the output relay, and event logging. The unit can also be configured to record upon the activation of an alarm input. A trigger may change the way the camera images are displayed on the monitors without requiring your intervention.
3.9.1 Alarm inputs
If an input causes an alarm
– Monitors A and B can switch to a pre-programmed view mode. – Monitor A: The border around the displayed cameos is red. The alarm icon is displayed in
the corresponding cameo. An alarm status message is displayed.
– Monitor B: Multiscreen or sequenced display of pre-programmed cameras.
– The alarm beeper sounds. The alarm and the indicators flash. – A controllable camera might be moved to a pre-defined position.
Acknowledging an input alarm
Press the acknowledge key to acknowledge the alarm.
– The beeper is silent.
– The alarm and indicators are no longer lit. – The alarm status message disappears.

If auto-acknowledge is enabled the beeper, and the alarm and indicators, switch off after the dwell time.
3.9.2 Motion events
If a motion detection signal causes an event
– Monitors A and B can switch to display the motion events. – The motion icon is displayed in the corresponding cameo. An alarm status message is

If auto-acknowledge is enabled the beeper, and the video loss and indicators, switch off after the dwell time.
3.9.4 Multiple alarms
One or both monitors can switch to a multiscreen view if more than one alarm occurs. The
latest alarm status message is always shown. Press the acknowledge key to deactivate all alarms.
