u Maximize resilience - keep operations up and

running even when multiple system components fail.

u Reduced total cost of ownership - manage up to

2000 cameras with a single server to reduce
installation and operating costs.

The Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) is a
unique enterprise IP video security solution that
provides seamless management of digital video, audio,
and data across any IP network. It provides the best
VMS to go with Bosch CCTV devices, leveraging the
unique capabilities of Bosch cameras and recording
solutions. It nevertheless offers interfaces and
standards to integrate other systems and
manufacturers.
The system is equipped with a unique embedded
resilience.
It keeps operations up and running even when both,
Management and Recording Servers fail.
On edge intelligent Video Analyses and the unmatched
recording technology managing up to 2000 cameras
with a single server dramatically reduces the total cost
of ownership.
The Bosch Video Management System allows a very
flexible system design:

• Professional: Single Management Server System
1 to 2000 cameras out of the box.

• Enterprise System: Supporting multi Management
Server requirements for Metro, Airport and other
large industrial facilities across different time zones.

u Bosch video at its best - support Bosch cameras and

better than any other management software.

u Integration - integrate third-party cameras, storage

and further systems into BVMS.

u IT environments and data security - profit from full

IT compatibility from installation to configuration in
a secure way.

Supports controlled monitoring across different legal
entities. Monitoring of up to 10,000 cameras across
10 subsystems per user group resulting in 200,000
cameras in total.
Up to 50 subsystems per user group for <200
cameras per subsystem, allowing each operator to
access events, alarms, live and playback from up to
50 Management Server computers simultaneously.

• Maximum 2000 ONVIF cameras per Management
Server.

• Access to live including PTZ control and recorded
video of up to 9999 sites with Bosch DVR recorders,
DIVAR IP 3000 / 7000 and single Management Server
systems.

The Bosch Video Management System is installed on a
Microsoft Windows Operating System.
We recommend using Bosch Workstations and
Servers. They are fully tested and optimized for Bosch
Video Management System.
In addition to the Bosch Security Systems standard
terms and conditions of sale, the Bosch Software
Maintenance Agreement is a great option to keep
BVMS always up to date.

System overview

Software components

• Management Server software provides management,
monitoring, and control of the entire system. One
single Management Server manages up to 2000
Cameras/encoders.

• Enterprise Management Server provides access to
multiple Management Servers.

• Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides recording
and playback management of video, audio, and data.
One single VRM manages up to 2000 cameras/
encoders (including up to 2000 ONVIF cameras).

• Configuration Client software provides the straight
forward user interface for system configuration and
management.

• Config Wizard software provides easy and fast setup
of a small recording system when using the BVMS
Appliance.

• BVMS Appliance: DIVAR IP 3000/7000 is a simple and
reliable all-in-one recording, viewing, and
management solution for network surveillance
systems with 32 channels pre-licensed.

• Operator Client software provides the ergonomic and
intuitive user interface for system monitoring and
operation.

• Mobile Video Service provides a transcoding service.
It transcodes the live and recorded video stream from
a configured camera according to the available
network bandwidth. This service enables video clients
to view high-quality images via low bandwidth.

• Mobile App (iPhone or iPad): Access live and
playback video from remote in single or quad-view.
Alert and share live video from mobile camera with
other security staff with a single click. App available
in AppStore.

• Web Client: Access live and playback video from
remote in single or quad-view. Search for text data
and trigger export of videos on Management Server.

• Bosch Video Streaming Gateway: Bosch cameras,
ONVIF cameras, JPEG cameras, RTSP encoders.

Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides a
Distributed Network Video Recorder solution,
eliminating the need for dedicated NVRs.
The usage of multiple client Workstations offers great
scalability.

Functions

Embedded Resilience

• An Offline Client ensures continuous operation for
live, playback and export while Management Server is
disconnected.

Video Recording Manager (VRM)

VRM provides load balancing and failover for the iSCSI
Storage System and makes it easy to add additional
iSCSI Storage Systems later on. VRM introduces the
concept of a storage virtualization layer. This
abstraction layer enables VRM to manage all of the
individual disk arrays in the entire system as various
“virtual” pools of storage, which are intelligently
allocated as needed.
A storage pool is a container for one or more iSCSI
storage systems that share the same load balancing
properties.
Dual / failover recording:

• A Primary VRM manages the normal recording of the
cameras of your system. You use a Secondary VRM to
achieve dual recording of your cameras.
Dual recording allows you to record video data from
the same camera to different locations.
A Secondary VRM can manage the secondary
recording for multiple Primary VRMs.
A Failover VRM is used for continuing the recording of
a failed Primary VRM or a failed Secondary VRM
computer.

BVMS furthermore supports Live and Playback of the
following recording engines:

• DIVAR IP series, Local Storage, Direct iSCSI
recording; Bosch Recording Station (BRS), Video
Streaming Gateway (VSG).

For legacy purposes the following recording engines
are supported: DVR, DiBos, VIDOS (Live only).
