Bosch Video Management System 7.5

www.boschsecurity.com

The Bosch Video Management System 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.

Only this system supports Bosch VMS-BIS Connectivity.

•Enterprise System: Supporting multi Management Server requirements for Metro, Airport and other large industrial facilities across different time zones. Supports controlled monitoring across different legal entities. Monitoring of up to 10,000 cameras across

24/7

uMaximum resilience to ensure continuous operation.

uUp to 2000 cameras with a single recording server mean high savings.

uSmart automatic stream switching for live viewing.

uBest integration with Bosch video hardware.

uEncrypted communication to cameras.

10 subsystems per user group resulting in 200,000 cameras in total.

Up to 30 subsystems per user group for <100 cameras per subsystem, allowing each operator to access events, alarms, live and playback from up to 30 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 ST standard terms and conditions of sale, the Bosch Software Maintenance Agreement is a great option to keep the VMS always up to date.

The Bosch Software Maintenance Agreement is available in the product catalog.

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.

Bosch VMS 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).

•Up to 4 PC monitors supported per Workstation. Arbitrary number of Bosch Monitor Walls or a Barco Monitor Wall (Transform N-series) may be used in addition.

•KBD-Universal XF keyboard supported, connected to Workstation via USB interface.

•KBD-Universal XF keyboard supports Enterprise System (select the desired Management Server).

•Bosch IntuiKey keyboard supported, connected to either Workstation or IP decoder.

•Bosch IntuiKey keyboard supports Enterprise System (select the desired Management Server).

Intuitive operation:

•A unique flexible Image window (patent pending) allows any combination of video window sizes and layouts without the need of pre-configured layouts

•Any live Image pane can be switched to instant playback (not valid for transcoded streams)

•Multiple instant playback Image panes

•Image panes can display live video, instant playback video, text documents, maps, or web pages
