VRM Video Recording Manager

The VRM Video Recording Manager application is a recording management
system for video data. It exclusively manages the video encoder and IP
cameras from the BVIP series (Bosch Video over IP), as well as iSCSI
storage systems supported by Bosch. Recordings from the various BVIP
devices are stored in iSCSI storage systems and managed from a central
location. Access can be controlled via user administration.

The installation CD contains the following programs:

Archive Player provides a convenient way to replay recordings. This
program provides you with a comprehensive range of search functions and
trick mode replay. Furthermore, you can license the program's export
function and then export recordings and burn them to CD or DVD for an
alternative purpose. It also gives you the option to create backup copies
of the iSCSI recordings. Archive Player 2.23 and above also supports
Contour Design ShuttlePRO V.2 for professional processing of replay data.
Use Configuration Manager for Archive Player setup and license
management, and to integrate the program into the VRM system.
