Overview of functions
The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary function is to
encode video and control data for transmission over an IP network. With its
MPEG-4 encoding it is ideally suited for IP communication and for remote
access to digital video recorders and multiplexers. The use of existing networks
means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved
quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously
received on several receivers.
Wide dynamic range
The digital signal is automatically processed in the camera to optimally capture
the detail in both the high and low light areas of the scene simultaneously,
maximizing the information visible in the picture.
Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af)
compliant network cable connection. With this configuration, only a single cable
connection is required to view, power and control the camera.
Bosch Security Systems | 2005-07 | V1.0
EN | 14
Dinion IP | Installation Manual
Receiver
MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoders (for example VIP XD) can be used as a
receiver. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS or computers with
the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser installed can also be used as
receivers.
Video encoding
The camera uses the MPEG-4 compression standard. Thanks to efficient
encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be
adapted to local conditions within wide limits.
Dual Streaming
Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously
according to two different, individually customized profiles. This creates two data
streams per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for local
recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.
Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous, real
time transmission to multiple receivers. The prerequisite for this is that the UDP
and IGMP V2 protocols are implemented on the network.
Configuration
The camera can be configured using a browser on the local network (Intranet) or
from the Internet. Similarly, firmware updates and rapid loading of device
configurations are also possible. Configuration settings can be stored as files on a
computer and copied from one camera to another.
Snapshots
Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG images, stored on
the hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window.
Backup
The browser application Livepage has an icon for saving the video images
provided by the unit as a file on your computer's hard drive. Clicking this icon

Video Settings
For encoding the video signal, you can select two profiles and change the presets
for the profiles.
Selecting an encoder profile
You can adapt the MPEG-4 data transmission to the operating environment (for
example network structure, bandwidth, data structures). To do this, the camera
simultaneously generates two data streams (Dual Streaming), for which you can
select different compression settings, for example one setting for transmissions to
the Internet and one for LAN connections.
Pre-programmed profiles are available, which each give priority to different
perspectives.
• Profile 1: Low bandwidth (CIF)
High quality for low bandwidth connections, resolution 352 × 288/240 pixels
• Profile 2: Low delay (1/2 D1)
High quality with low delay, resolution 352 × 576/480 pixels
• Profile 3: High resolution (D1/4CIF)
High resolution for high bandwidth connections, resolution 704 × 576/480
pixels
•Profile 4: DSL
For DSL connections at 500 kBit/s, resolution 352 x 288/240 pixels
Bosch Security Systems | 2005-07 | V1.0

• Profile 6: ISDN (1B)
For ISDN connections via one B channel, resolution 352 x 288/240 pixels
•Profile 7: Modem
For analog modem connections at 20 kBit/s, resolution 352 x 288/240 pixels
•Profile 8: GSM
For GSM connections at 9,600 baud, resolution 176 x 144/120 pixels
Active profile
Here you can select the desired profile for each of the two streams.
– Click on a tab to select the associated stream.
– Select the desired setting from the list.
Note
Stream 2 is always transmitted for alarm connections and automatic
connections. Take this into account when assigning the profile.
Changing profiles
You can change individual parameter values within a profile and the name. You
can switch between profiles by clicking the associated tabs.
Note
The profiles are rather complex. They include a number of parameters that
interact with one another. Therefore it is generally best to use the default
Bosch Security Systems | 2005-07 | V1.0
Dinion IP | Installation Manual
profiles. The profiles should only be changed if you are completely familiar
with all the configuration options.
EN | 39
Note
The parameters as a group constitute a profile and are dependent on one
another. If you enter a setting outside the allowed range for a parameter,
the nearest valid value is substituted when the settings are saved.
Profile name
You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then displayed in the
list of available profiles in the Active encoder profile: field.
Target data rate
To optimize utilization of the bandwidth in your network, you can limit the data
rate for the camera. The target data rate should be set according to the desired
picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.
For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent
movements, this limit can temporarily be exceeded as far as the value you enter
in the Max. data rate: field.
Max. data rate
This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending
on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames this can result in the skipping
of individual images.
The value entered here should be at least 10% higher than the value entered in
the Target data rate field.
P-frame video quality
This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frames depending on
the movement within the image. The Auto option automatically adjusts to the
optimum relationship between movement and image definition (focus). Selecting
Manual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on a slide bar. The value 4
represents the best quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate
depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 31 results in a
very high refresh rate and lower image quality.
Bosch Security Systems | 2005-07 | V1.0
EN | 40
Dinion IP | Installation Manual
I-frame video quality
This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The Auto
option automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video
quality. Selecting Manual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on a slide
bar. The value 4 represents the best quality with, if necessary, a lower frame
refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 31
results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.
I-frame distance
This parameter determines the number of inter-coded frames between two
I-frames.
Encoding interval
The figure selected here determines the interval at which images are encoded
and transmitted. For example, entering 4 means that only every fourth image is
encoded, the following three images are skipped – this can be particularly
advantageous with low bandwidths.
Video resolution
Here, you can select the desired resolution for the MPEG-4 video image. The
following resolutions are available:
• QCIF176 × 144/120 pixels
• CIF 352 × 288/240 pixels
• 1/2 D1 352 × 576/480 pixels
• 2CIF704 × 288/240 pixels
• D1/4CIF704 × 576/480 pixels

Gateway address
If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different
subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise, this field can remain
empty (0.0.0.0).
Video/audio transmission
If the unit is used behind a firewall, TCP (Port 80) should be selected as the
transmission protocol. For use in a local network, choose UDP.
Note
Multicast operation is only possible with the UDP protocol. The TCP
protocol does not support multicast connections. The MTU value in UDP
mode is 1514 bytes.
Ethernet link type
If the camera is connected to the network via a switch, both devices must have
the same preset network connection type. If necessary, ask your network
administrator what value the associated switch is set to.
Choose Auto for an autosensing network connection. If necessary you can set the
value to 10 or 100 MBit/s for either full or half-duplex mode (FD or HD).
Note
Malfunctions can occur (for example image faults) if the network capacity
is not sufficient for transmission of the maximum data rate generated by
the camera.
Multicasting
In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver
(unicast), the camera can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal
Bosch Security Systems | 2005-07 | V1.0
Dinion IP | Installation Manual
from an encoder simultaneously. This is either done by duplicating the data
stream in the unit and then distributing it to multiple receivers (multi-unicast) or
by distributing an individual data stream in the network itself to multiple
receivers in a defined group (multicast). You can enter a dedicated multicast
address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking
the associated tabs.
EN | 51
Note
The prerequisite for multicast operation is a multicast-capable network that
uses the UDP and IGMP protocols. Other group membership protocols
are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast
connections.
A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation
in a multicast-enabled network. The network must support group IP addresses
and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is
from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The multicast address can be the same for
multiple streams. However, it is then necessary to use a different port in each case
so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and
multicast address.
Multicast address video 1
Enter a valid multicast address for each stream to be operated in multicast mode
(duplication of the data streams in the network). With the setting 0.0.0.0 the
encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of data
streams in unit). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five
simultaneously connected receivers.
Note
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to
impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.
Port
If there are simultaneous data streams at the same multicast address, you must
assign different ports to each data stream. Enter the port address for the relevant
stream here.
