The Bosch Video Recorder 630/650 Series is an 8/16
channel digital recorder that uses the latest H.264
compression technology. With the supplied PC
software and built-in web server, the 630/650 Series is
a fully integrated, stand-alone video management
solution that's ready to go, straight out of the box.
Available with a variety of storage capacities, the
630/650 Series features a highly reliable embedded
design that minimizes maintenance and reduces
operational costs. The recorder is also available with a
built-in DVD writer.
System overview
The 630/650 Series takes advantage of H.264 video
compression technology to dramatically reduce the
amount of storage and bandwidth needed while still
producing a better image quality. The 630/650 Series
records multiple video and audio signals while
simultaneously providing live multi-screen viewing and
playback. Comprehensive search and playback
functions provide quick recall and viewing of recorded
video.

Recording
Ease of use is a key feature of the 630/650 Series
design. Simply connect the cameras, apply power, and
the unit begins recording automatically. All recording
takes place in the background with no operator
intervention required.
The use of H.264 compression reduces the file size of
recordings by as much as 30% compared to standard
MPEG-4, without sacrificing image quality. The
630/650 Series can record at up to 25 (PAL) /
30 (NTSC) images per second, per channel at CIF
resolution. Recording at 2CIF and 4CIF resolution is
also possible by reducing the recording image rate
settings. The recording rate and quality are individually
configurable per channel for maximum flexibility.
If required, alarm recordings (input and motion) and
continuous recordings can be split over two partitions.
An overwrite mode can then be selected separately for
each partition.
Dome Control
The 630/650 Series can control pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ)
equipment via RS‑485 serial communications. PTZ
devices, including the Bosch AutoDome and a number
of third party domes, are supported.

Alarms
All models have extensive alarm handling functions
and telemetry control. Alarm functions include local
inputs and relay outputs as well as motion detection in
user-defined areas. In addition, the 630/650_Series
can send an e-mail notification with a short video clip
on alarm.
Local control and operation
The unit can be easily operated and programmed via
the on-screen display menu system using the front
panel control keys, the mouse, an IntuiKey Series
keyboard or the supplied remote control. Two monitor
outputs provide full-screen, quad, multi-screen and
sequenced viewing.
Looping auto-terminating video inputs and outputs,
audio inputs and output, and alarm inputs and outputs
are located on the rear panel.
Two VGA connectors provide an output for monitor A
(main monitor) and monitor B (spot monitor).
Monitor A displays live and playback in full-screen,
quad or multi-screen pictures that can be frozen and
zoomed. Monitor B displays live full-screen, quad or
multi-screen pictures.
Remote control and operation
Use the PC software or built-in web application via a
network for live viewing, playback, and configuration.
The PC application software can also be used with
other Bosch products including the 400 Series and the
700 Series. Four users can control the 630/650 Series
simultaneously.
The 630/650 Series includes an authenticity check for
both local and remote playback, ensuring recording
integrity. The 630/650 Series Archive Player is
provided for playback of secure video files.
Mobile Devices
A Bosch DVR viewer App for Apple iOS devices is
available for live viewing and PTZ control. This App lets
you watch live video from cameras connected to the
DVR from anywhere in the world. If a PTZ camera is
connected, you can control focus, pan, tilt and zoom.
Additionally, Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is
supported in the 630/650 Series. This means that live
video streamed from the unit over the internet can be
displayed by suitably configured mobile devices.
