A scalable GUI allows you to view multiple feeds from a single location, and also makes it easy to easy to add new cameras and devices.
Remote configuration of Bosch AutoDome, Dinion, and FlexiDome cameras is provided via Bilinx support and can be used to control both local and remote PTZ cameras. Support for alarm-trigger recording and interfacing with Bosch alarm panels, and support for event- and time schedule-based recording presets and sequencing is present; you can also set the DVR to automatically send an email upon the occurrence of an event to a predetermined address. Using the Bosch DVR in large setups is very much an ease because it also supports multiple camera manufacturers’ protocols.
The Bosch DVR also can playback multiple camera feeds in synchronization, and comes with smooth, variable-speed playback that lets you view, forward, rewind, and play any of the feeds as and how you desire. This results in fast, easy retrieval and analysis of recorded images and events. In addition to providing automatic/manual control of up to 2 spot monitors, the DB18C3200R2 allows independent sequencing of selected cameras.
In the absence of an event, the DiBos recorder automatically shows the default camera feed or sequence; it also lets you search specific areas of images for changes, thus reducing search times. There is no need for a manual search because the DVR comes with a fast and powerful image search; further, note that the advanced search options are available over all connected analog cameras
With the DiBos digital video recorder, you can set the recorded image quality to change automatically upon a motion or an alarm-based trigger: by means of this, you can ensure the highest recording quality in the event of an alarm and can lower the recording quality under normal circumstances, for better utilization of the available storage space and surveillance capability.
With its effective image compression, the DiBos recorder ensures that the available storage space is utilized accordingly without any compromises in image quality. The DB18C3200R2 also comes with advanced camera tamper detection, which provides protection against attempts to reposition, blind, hood, spray paint, or defocus a monitored device. Using the included DVD writer, you can create data backups on DVDs and CDs easily to free system space.
