Functions
Flexibility
VIP X16 XF E supports external iSCSI storage across
an IP network.
VIP X16 XF E supports the Bosch VRM (Video
Recording Manager), Bosch’s flexible and scalable
recording management software. It allows a flexible
assignment of recording space on camera level
including load balancing and decent redundancy
features. Bosch VRM is available as stand-alone system
or embedded into the Bosch Video Management
System.
Dual Streaming
The VIP X16 XF E encoder uses the feature Dual
Streaming to generate two independent IP video
streams per channel, both at full 4CIF resolution, the
first stream with full frame rate and the second stream
with lower frame rate.
Recording
You can record each video input independently on
different media. Thus video can be recorded centrally
on iSCSI drives managed by Bosch VRM.
The encoder features a highly flexible recording
scheduler, providing up to ten programmable
recording profiles and allowing individually assigned
camera profiles. With these profiles, you can
accelerate the frame rate as well as increase the
quality on alarm, saving recording space during non-
alarm periods.
Access security
The VIP X16 XF E encoder offers various security levels
for accessing the network, the unit, and the data
channels. As well as password protection with up to
three levels, they support 802.1x authentication using
a RADIUS server for identification. You can secure Web
browser access by HTTPS using a SSL certificate that
is stored in the unit. For total data protection, each
communication channel—video, audio, or serial I/O—
can be independently AES encrypted with 128‑bit
keys, once the Encryption Site License has been
applied.
Intelligence
VIP X16 XF E comes with built-in video
motion detection. This motion detection algorithm is
based on pixel change and includes object size
filtering capabilities.
On alarm, VIP X16 XF E can send an e‑mail with JPEG
images attached.
Viewing
View the VIP X16 XF E encoder video on a PC using a
Web browser, in the Bosch Video Management
System, or integrate it into another video management
system. By routing the IP video to a high-performance
decoder VIP XD HD or a Monitor Wall, you can present
the video with ultimate clarity.
Easy upgrade
Remotely upgrade VIP X16 XF E whenever new
firmware becomes available. This ensures up-to-date
products, thus protecting investment with little effort.
ONVIF conformance
Conformance to ONVIF 1.02 and ONVIF Profile S
provides interoperability between network video
products regardless of manufacturer. In addition, the
firmware of the device supports all applicable features
of the ONVIF 2.2 specification.
ONVIF conformant devices are able to exchange live
video, audio, metadata, and control information and
ensure that they are automatically discovered and
connected to network applications such as video
management systems.
