System Overview
Enterprise-class Client/Server based video management system
Superior alarm handling with alarm priorities and selectable user group distribution
Mobile video client for live and playback
Edge based intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) and forensic search
Support of 3rd party cameras that are compliant to ONVIF Profile S
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
Enables video clients like an iPhone or a Web client to view high-quality images via low bandwidth
Mobile App: You can use the Mobile App on iPhone or iPad to access live and playback video
Web Client: You can access live and playback videos via Web browser
Bosch Video Streaming Gateway: Provides the integration of ONVIF cameras
Remote access via public networks
Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides a Distributed Network Video Recorder solution, eliminating the need for dedicated NVRs
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
Usage of multiple client workstations offers great scalability
Bosch VMS is capable of managing up to 2,000 IP cameras / encoders per Management Server
One Bosch VMS is capable of supporting up to 100 workstations
Cameras
Supports Bosch MPEG4 & H.264 encoders, MPEG4 &H.264 IP cameras and IP Auto Dome cameras in SD & HD format, decoders, DVRs, Allegiant, Bosch Recording Station (BRS)/DiBos, Bosch POS/ATM Bridge, and DiBos-compatible ATM Bridge
