Features
Specifications

The Bosch VIPX1A is an ultra compact encoder that accepts a single NTSC or PAL camera for transmiting its video and audio over a network. The encoder also features an audio line out port, allowing two-way voice communication between a PC user and a person at the camera location. Video is encoded in DVD quality MPEG-4 at 30 IPS and can be viewed on a PC using a standard Internet Explorer browser or by installing Bosch's exclusive VIDOS viewing software offering comprehensive video management. Encoded media can be recorded to a USB device connected directly to this unit or to a networked PC utilizing iSCSI devices. Media can also be recorded to any DVR on the network.

The VIPX1A uses Dual Streaming to generate two independent IP video streams per channel. This allows a user to choose different quality levels for viewing and recording depending on the available hard drive and network bandwidth resources. The encoder also features alarm inputs and can be configured to send Email notices along with JPEG images to a designated PC at an alarm event. By routing the IP video to a high performance VIP XD video decoder or a VIDOS Monitor Wall, encoded video can be viewed with ultimate clarity on an analog CCTV monitor or large screen VGA monitor.

• Video and Audio Encoding: The unit accepts a standard analog NTSC or PAL security camera for video and audio transmission over a network. By attaching a speaker to the unit's audio out port, two-way voice communication is possible between a person at the camera location and a PC user.

• High Quality Encoding: Video is encoded in DVD like MPEG-4 quality at up to 30 IPS.

• Records to Local or Networked Devices: Encoded media can be recorded to a USB hard drive connected directly to this unit or to an iSCSI hard drive over the network. Connecting to an iSCSI RAID5 array not only offers backup protection of crucial data but also allows the VIPX1A to act as a conventional DVR as well as a live video streaming device.

• Dual Streaming: The encoded signal is split into two media streams allowing a user to choose different viewing and recording quality levels depending on the available hard drive and network bandwidth resources.

• Standard Internet Browser Viewing: Video can be viewed on a standard Internet Explorer browser or by installing Bosch's exclusive VIDOS program (included) offering comprehensive video management.

• PTZ Control: A local RS-232 port allows full pan, tilt and zoom control of certain PTZ dome cameras from any PC on the network.

• Alarm Inputs and Video Loss Detection: Alarm events can be triggered by optional alarm sensors connected directly to this unit or by the unit's built-in sensor. Built-in alarm detection includes video loss, masking, hooding, defocusing or camera diversion. At the event of an alarm, this unit can be configured to send an E-mail notification along with pertinent JPEG images to a designated address on the network.

• Relay Inputs: A number of relay inputs are available to activate devices such as locking or unlocking a door following an alarm event.

• Optional Viewing on Analog Devices: By routing the IP video to a high performance VIP XD video decoder or a VIDOS Monitor Wall, video can be viewed with ultimate clarity on an analog CCTV or large, flat-screen VGA monitor or TV.

• Password Protection: A password system is employed to determine the level of access for each user.
