BVC-ESIP Series Description
The Bosch Video Client is a Windows PC application for live viewing and playback
of network-connected cameras. The software package consists of a live viewing
and playback application, and a configuration manager.
The configuration manager allows the settings for supported devices to be
configured. A stand-alone archive player will allow archive playback and
authentication without any other workstation software. A set-up wizard is
included with the package to help with the installation of the system. The Bosch
Video Client software is optimized for use in small‑to‑medium size CCTV
installations. It supports up to 16 cameras free of charge. This number can be
increased to 128 by purchasing additional licenses. Archiving and playback of IP
cameras licensed on Bosch Recording Station, VRM or Divar 700 recorder systems
is free of charge.
System Overview
Viewing live cameras
The Bosch Video Client main monitor allows a mix of up to 20 HD or SD cameras to
be viewed at the same time. Multiple cameras can be dragged and displayed in
predefined quick scratch views. Sets of favourite views showing a logical
composition of camera images can be defined and named by each user. These
favourite views are easily accessible and allow one-click display of related
camera images in a user-defined layout.
A second monitor on the Bosch Video Client workstation can be used as a spot
monitor. Favourite views and sequences can be assigned to this second monitor.
Live camera streams can be displayed on a monitor wall built with SD or HD
decoders. The layout of the wall is easily configured with a graphical
interface. Alarm and relay status information is displayed on the live page.
Connected relays can be activated or deactivated with a mouse-click.
A single click in a cameo records live video images from a camera locally. Up to
two cameras can be recorded at the same time on the workstation. Still snapshots
of a camera video image can also be exported locally. The instant playback
function enables one-click replay of the previous minute of the active camera’s
video.
Text data from ATM/POS devices can be shown next to the live video stream.
Camera with PTZ capability can be manipulated by dragging the mouse in the cameo
or by using the PTZ control console. Live mode and playback mode can be
controlled using the Intuikey keyboard. If a selected camera has an audio
stream, it can be played via the sound facilities of the PC.
Playback, search and export of recorded video The playback window is optimized
to replay and export recorded video and audio of 4 cameras simultaneously. The
recording sources include recordings on VRM, on-camera storage, Divar 700 Series
recorders, and workstation local recording, as well as exported files. BRS
playback is also supported. A timeline panel shows recordings and events ordered
in time. It facilitates the pinpointing of recordings at a particular time.
Selected time periods of video and audio on the timeline can be easily exported.
Four cameras can be selected for export in either a native or Windows-compatible
export format. Video export is a background task so allowing other tasks to be
continued without interruption. Still snapshots of a recorded camera video image
can also be exported locally.
The replay shuttle console gives easy control of forward and reverse playback at
low or high speed, scratching and trick play of up to 4 recording sources
simultaneously.
A stand-alone archive player allows playback of exported video material without
requiring software installation.
Advanced search
The event search task panel helps define search criteria for motion or alarm
recordings. The IVA search task panel provides access to the highly advanced
forensic search facilities, unique to Bosch CCTV products. In this task panel
the user can define complex searches, like the number of people entering a door,
or finding all video fragments with a person in a red coat, or detecting people
using an escalator in the wrong direction or signalling left luggage.
Advanced configuration for optimized results The advanced features available in
various Bosch cameras can be configured using the Configuration Manager. This
tool allows configuration of all the unique features of Bosch IP cameras,
allowing you to obtain optimized results from each camera. For system
configurations having multiple sites with each site having multiple Divar 700
Series recorders, BVC allows one-click login to all recorders on a site. All
cameras attached to recorders on this site are available within BVC.
