Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideBosch Video Management SystemIncreasingly, people are replacing long bundles of coaxcables coming from analog cameras with networks ofEthernet cables (structured cabling) to reduce installationcosts. Others see the network as the way to extend thereach of their entire CCTV systems. But geographicallydispersed systems are harder to manage because of thesheer distances separating each component, cameras,storage, and operators. Bosch Video Management System(Bosch VMS), Bosch’s flagship IP CCTV system, wasdesigned for manageability, including alarm management,LDAP-based user management, offline systemconfiguration with roll-backs, health monitoring,upgrades, and fault-tolerance. Bosch VMS is IT-friendly aswell as Security Administrator-friendly.The Bosch VMS heritage lies in the years of success of theBosch Allegiant matrix switcher, VIDOS video managementsoftware, and Bosch DVRs. The Bosch VMS not onlymanages IP devices, Recording at the Edge, Direct-toiSCSI,VRM and IVA/Forensic Search and NVRs but alsoexisting Allegiant matrix switchers and Dibos DVRs.122543 / 61IP cameras, encodersand decoders2Local and NetworkVideo RecordingBosch VMS manages all Bosch MPEG-4 and H.264 IP cameras, domes, encoders anddecoders.

Theexisting system used VCRs, multiplexers and blackand white cameras – all state of the art in its day. Theupgrade to color cameras, VIP X1600 encoders andiSCSI recording now allows the stadium’s securitysurveillance crew to view live and play back in realtime.“Now we have the ability to quickly identify alocation and clearly zoom in and record,” Kawachisays. “We’ve been able to clearly identify thosesubjects that trespassed onto the playing field andother incidents.” And with the encoders and storagein the same room, the extensive video over IP solutiondoesn’t even touch Petco’s network.www.boschsecurity.us 4800.289.0096

Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideBosch’s Video Recording ManagerBosch’s Video Recording Manager (VRM) providescentralized management and monitoring of videoservers, cameras, and iSCSI disk arrays within an IPbasedCCTV network. Bosch’s VRM signals the arrivalof the 2nd generation of Video over IP recordingtechnology, displacing 1st generation Network VideoRecorders (NVRs). VRM simplifies customers’ Videoover IP architectures by treating all the individual diskarrays available in the entire system as a single virtual,common pool of storage, which is intelligently reallocatedas needed. In contrast to BVMS which is a VideoManagement Systems, VRM is a Recording Manager,which means that it can run independently of and inparallel with BVMS, although its recordings may be playedback using a compatible playback client such as ArchivePlayer.VRM eliminates the need for Network Video Recordersand their associated server hardware, operating systems,anti-virus software as well as the ongoing softwarepatches and updates these systems require. This makesinstallation, operation, and maintenance much easier andreduces the total cost of ownership.VRM also manages the RAID storage in Bosch’s Directto-iSCSICCTV systems — so customers can maximize thehigh capacity, hard drive fault-tolerance, economies ofscale and manageability of RAID storage. Bosch’s Directto-iSCSIapproach allows IP cameras and encoders tostream directly to disk, eliminating the NVR entirely.With the introduction of VRM, Bosch adds system-widerecording manageability to its iSCSI storage. VRM acts asthe “traffic cop” among the thousands of IP cameras andencoders — and the unlimited iSCSI disk arrays —scattered throughout a video surveillance system.Because it acts as a traffic cop, a VRM server can manage2,000 cameras (see below) whereas an NVR typicallymaxes out at 64. Each iSCSI disk array can handle 200Mbps whereas because of the PC bottleneck an NVR withSCSI disk arrays typically maxes out at about 70 Mbps.No NVR servers, no proliferation of Microsoft operatingsystems and no anti-virus software installations tocontinuously patch. Video Recording Manager and Directto-iSCSIlie at the heart of Bosch Security Systems’ 2ndgeneration of Video over IP management, monitoring andstorage, with overwhelming advantages over conventional1st generation NVRs.2,000 Cameras @ 2 Mbps eachFifty 9 TB iSCSI RAIDs(total of 450 TB)2,000 CamerasLAN1 VRM Server2,000 Cameras,900 TB of RAID 5Fifty 9 TB iSCSI RAIDs(total of 450TB)AutoDome AnalogModular cameraBosch fixed IPand IR camerasBosch analog cameras& encodersAutoDome IPModular cameraEncoderLocal analog monitorIP NetworkiSCSI disk arraysSurveillance workstationrunning Bosch VMSVRM Server(1 per 2,000 cameras)BVMSCentral ServerAnalog monitorswww.boschsecurity.us 6800.289.0096

Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideIP Cameras – FixedBosch DinionXF Day/Night IP andDinion IP cameras offer unrivalledimage quality and performance.They are hybrid cameras, delivering both analog and IPvideo. The IP video has three types: a high- and low-qualityMPEG-4 stream and a separate JPEG stream to suit anyapplication. For ease of installation, they both supportPower over Ethernet, drawing their power directly from theattached network cable.The Dinion IP camera (NWC-0455) incorporates NightSensefor challenging scenes. It also includes tamper detection andIntelligent VideoAnalysis (IVA) – Bosch’s licensable videocontent analysis which can detect events like loitering.For the most demanding applications, the DinionXF IPcamera (NWC-0495) uses 15-bit digital signal processing(DSP) to enhance light sensitivity and XF-Dynamic to extendits viewing range with sharper, more detailed pictures andexceptional color reproduction accuracy. In low light, thesecameras automatically switch from color to monochrometo boost their infrared illumination sensitivity, whilemaintaining superior picture quality.IP Cameras – AutoDomeBosch’s AutoDome ModularCamera System will never becomeobsolete because it allows you toupgrade functionality, adapt tochanging security needs, and migrate to newtechnologies without even having to powerdown your system. With advanced intelligence capabilitiesfor capturing the most accurate images possible and IPfunctionality for the most efficient image transmissionand storage, the new AutoDome features one cameraand a series of interchangeable modules that can beadapted to your changing security needs. The technologyis sophisticated, but the idea could not be simpler.The entire system is based on five types of interchangeablemodules: the CPU, camera, housing, communications(including IP), and power supply. Simply replace one ofthe modules to switch from fixed to PTZ, upgrade fromcolor to day/night, add advanced intelligence features likemotion tracking, or IP-enable an existing analog version.IP Cameras – FlexiDomeJust like the Bosch Dinion fixedcameras, the FlexiDome Day/Night IP and FlexiDome IP are highperformance,1/3-inch CCD Day/Night network cameras designed toensure the highest possible image quality at all timeswhile running IVA. They are both compact, vandal-resistantcameras delivering the same three IP streams – twoqualities of MPEG-4 and one JPEG stream.The FlexiDome IP camera (NWD-455) incorporatesNightSense for low light, and for true Day/Nightperformance, the FlexiDome Day/Night IP (NWD-495)combines 15-bit digital video processing for highersensitivity and XF-Dynamic for greater dynamic range.The end result is a sharper, more detailed image withoutstanding accuracy in color reproduction. Depending onthe available light, the NWD-495 automatically switchesfrom color to monochrome, enhancing sensitivity for IRillumination to provide high-quality images even in themost challenging conditions.IP Cameras – MegapixelMegapixel cameras are JPEGcameras — they’re called“megapixel” because just as withpersonal digital cameras, they are high-resolution andcontain a million pixels or more. They offer an outstandingimage for live viewing, but their true strength lies in theirability to resolve extremely fine detail – for example, whendigital zooming is used in forensics.With the higher pixel count comes higher bit-rates (around10 – 20x) and the bandwidth and storage costs compare totraditional high-quality CCTV video. Megapixel cameras arebeing successfully adopted in key locations like turnstiles,where a DiBos DVR takes just a short burst of Megapixelshots when the alarm is activated, in addition to recordingnormal CCTV video 24x7. This combination of Megapixeland MPEG-4 technologies focuses on recording identityand activity, respectively. Bosch’s DiBos Hybrid DVR isa perfect example of one DVR that can simultaneouslyrecord analog cameras, MPEG-4 cameras and encoders,and now Megapixel cameras.www.boschsecurity.us 11800.289.0096

Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideUnderstanding Video QualityTo some, video quality means high resolution, to othersit means a faster frame-rate. By simulating the mostcommon kind of events you’re trying to detect andrecording them at different settings, you can quicklydetermine what’s best for you.Frame-rateHigher video frame-rates mean higher bitrates, whichtranslates to higher network bandwidth and more storage.Three frames per second (FPS) is generally sufficientfor everyday surveillance. 7 FPS picks up fine movementand is often used for alarm video. 15 FPS is the next bestthing to full-motion video, 30 FPS.It’s important to note that the consequence of movingfrom three to seven, or seven to 15, or 15 to 30 FPS isthat your bit-rate increases by around 70 percent eachtime. That’s 70 percent more bandwidth and 70 percentmore storage costs.ResolutionImage size (which corresponds to resolution) is measuredin terms of CIF.GoodBetterExcellentCompromiseBestCIF Resolution CIF 2CIF 2/3 D1 4CIF or D1Width x Height(pixels)352 x 240 704 x 240 464 x 480 704 x 480One of the greatest modern CCTV myths is that increasingthe resolution and raising the frame-rate will automaticallyresult in superior image quality. This is only true if thebit-rate available for the video is also raised accordingly.If the bit-rate is not raised, then the compression enginewill severely compress the video – and 4CIF video canactually look worse than CIF video. When solicitingquotes for a project, make sure you understand any andall assumptions made by the supplier. Bosch alwaysdeclares the conservative bit-rates used, and from thisyou are assured high-quality video, even under stressfulconditions like low-light (high Automatic Gain Control)and busy scene activity or PTZ motion.The higher resolution image to the right looks worse than theother because although it has a higher resolution, the allowedbit-rate has not been increased, causing excessive compression.Compression AlgorithmsUncompressed digital video is unusable for CCTV becauseit uses over 200 Mbps. Many different compressionstandards exist, but for CCTV, they fall into three broadcategories: JPEG, Wavelet, and MPEG. JPEG and Waveletare both very efficient at low frame-rates, but JPEGs aremore interoperable between different manufacturers.However, they both use up to six times more bandwidththan MPEG-4 at higher frame-rates. Most modern CCTVsystems are based on MPEG-4, which is an excellentcompromise of video quality and bandwidth demands –and significantly more efficient than its broadcast-qualitypredecessor, MPEG-2. Recently, H.264 takes MPEG-4 tothe next level with a further 30% reduction in bandwidthand improved image quality.Bandwidth /Mbps108642Performance of Different Video Compression Algorithms atVarious Frame Rates.

Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideHow Infrared Illumination Reduces BitRates and Storage RequirementsInfrared illumination enhances the performance of daynightcameras, resulting in high quality surveillance videoimages under low-light and no-light conditions. However,the positive effects are limited not only to imaging. Usinginfrared illumination also results in reduced bit rate andstorage requirements.One of the main contributors to large file sizes is noisynight-time images, typically caused by automatic gaincontrol (AGC). Noisy images show increased gainwhich video software interprets as motion, which inturn unnecessarily increases bandwidth and storagerequirements. Consequently, a night-time image mayrequire approximately 20% more bandwidth - andtherefore 20% more storage - than non-noisy images.Furthermore, noisy images may cause false alarms,fooling video motion detection algorithms into incorrectlyidentifying noise as motion.EX7 IP Ceiling-Mounted IP Camera,Single SensorPart of the Bosch Extreme CCTV series, the EX7 IPis a No-Grip ceiling mount camera which features apowerful processor for video analysis using Bosch’s IVA(Intelligent Video Analysis), performance optics and IPdesign for vandal resistant networked surveillance.

Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideRecording VideoRecording at the EdgeRecording at the Edge is simply the concept of takingaudio/video from a camera and storing it at the edgeof the network – instead of transporting it across thenetwork to a centralized NVR. It’s a de-centralizedapproach to storage because the video is spread across anumber of edge-storage devices instead of a centralizedone. All analog-camera DVRs perform Recording at theEdge, however, they are DVRs – not IP encoders withembedded storage – so they were not designed to be partof what is commonly referred to as a Virtual Matrix, ortrue IP video system. The difference is subtle but critical ifyou are looking for a video over IP solution.Recording at the Edge is bandwidth-friendly, reliable,and manageable.E It is network bandwidth-friendly because it does notuse any bandwidth to record video – the network is onlyused to play back audio/video from the edge at a reviewstation. When the network includes a WAN (or worse, theInternet), Recording at the Edge becomes the only way toensure high-quality recordings.AnalogCameraISCSiDisk ArrayVideoJet X encoder withCF card, embedded HDD orexternal USB HDDNetworkUSB 2.0250 GBExternalUSBStorageE It is reliable because recording is independent of thenetwork’s health and congestion. Even if the network isinterrupted, recording continues. Also, with centralizedstorage, a single catastrophic event means all video islost – compared to losing a single location’s footage whenyou’re using edge recording.VIP X1600E It’s manageable because the video is not stored onPC-based devices, which means no PCs, no Windowsoperating systems, no Windows patches, no anti-virussoftware, and no anti-virus updates. Instead, video isstored on purpose-built appliances such as the VideoJet8008. Also, IT departments monitor, repair, and upgraderemote IP devices every day – and with Video over IP,everything is simply an IP device.AnalogCameraObservation WorkstationIP Video devices configured for Recording at the Edge.Examples of devices that perform Recording at the Edge(which can be viewed and managed using VIDOS) includethe VideoJet 8008 with up to 1 TB internal capacity, theVIP X1 or VIP X2 with directly-attached USB hard driveor the VideoJet X10, 20 or 40 internal Compact Flashmemory card or internal hard drive. The DiBos Hybrid DVRis by definition a DVR, and so it supports Recording at theEdge and can also be managed by Bosch VMS.www.boschsecurity.us 15800.289.0096

Bosch Video Over IP Product GuideCentralized RecordingFor centralized recording, video is piped to one locationwhere it’s stored on large disk arrays that are installedin secure, physically isolated, and climate-controlledrooms. Economies of scale are realized, the costper-Gigabytedrops, and RAID 5 storage even boostsreliability. Whenever practical, centralized recording is agreat thing – it’s the primary role of the NVR. Typically,an NVR is a server-class PC, running an operating systemlike Windows 2003 Server. It receives IP video from thenetwork and stores it on SCSI RAID devices. All Boschhead-ends support the NVR concept, including BoschVMS, VIDOS-NVR, DiBos, and Video Engine.Multiple locations connected by a WAN raise some specialchallenges: the lack of bandwidth means video cannot bepiped back to a single central location. In these instances,the video must be stored on the LAN at each remotelocation. Without reverting to Recording at the Edge,it is perfectly normal to install an NVR at each location– which means a PC server, Windows, virus protection,and NVR software.The alternative is to use iSCSI technology instead of SCSI.iSCSI RAIDs are disk arrays that are directly connectedto the network, and receive their IP video direct fromIP cameras and encoders without any intervening NVR.Now, you just put the storage at each remote locationand there’s no need for the NVR – but you still have thereliability and economies of scale benefits of RAID5.NVR-basedTypical ApplicationDinion IPCameraNVR ServerWindows 2003ServerBVMS-NVRSoftwareThe Best of Both WorldsThe VIP X1600 multi-channel encoder and the iSCSIRAID have a unique relationship for modern IP CCTV.In addition to streaming video to an iSCSI RAID acrossthe network (Network--attached iSCSI mode), the VIPX1600 has another network port so that an iSCSI RAIDcan be directly connected via a network cable.

Studies show operators miss 95 percentof the events after only 22 minutes of continuousmonitoring. By necessity, most CCTV systems are forensic“after-the-fact” tools – they are not preventative.Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) is Bosch’s video contentanalysis (VCA) solution that pushes intelligence to theedge. By embedding this VCA capability at the edge,your system is more scalable than using centralized VCAand relying on farms of high-end PC. When combinedwith Recording at the Edge it also does not consumebandwidth unless you actually need to view the video.IVA acts as a “virtual operator” – tirelessly analyzing realtimeincoming video and automatically detecting, logging,and alerting you to potentially threatening situations (e.g.,loitering, idle object, and object removed) and operatingin challenging environments such as rain, sleet, and snow.When combined with traditional sensor technologies, IVAimproves threat detection and situational awareness toenhance safety and reduce risk. It even detects tamperingby generating alerts when a camera has been diverted,hooded, or blinded by a flashlight.16 analog camerasVIP X1600Direct-attachediSCSI disk arrayRaw analog video1Mbps300 kbpsWANBosch VMSWorkstationTo illustrate the significance of Intelligence at the Edge,in the figure above, an operator views live video via a thinWAN, using only 300 kbps (e.g. 5 FPS at CIF). Thanksto Recording at the Edge, the video can be recordedadjacent to the encoder at a much higher quality – say1 Mbps (e.g. 15 FPS at 2 CIF). But because the videocontent analysis is being done within the encoder on theoriginal raw incoming analog video, it has access to thehighest quality of video (equivalent to over 4 Mbps) – allwithout one byte of it ever touching the network to reacha centralized PC-based video content analysis engine.IVA is fully embedded into the X Series encoders,including the VideoJet X10/20/40 and VIP X1600encoders, Dinion, FlexiDome and AutoDome 100 series IPcameras and Extreme IP.Bosch’s Intelligent Video Analysis highlights an intruder climbingthe fence and immediately alerts the operator.www.boschsecurity.us 17800.289.0096
