Operating Instructions
Bosch Security Systems
Video images from a single camera can be simultaneously
received on several receivers.
1.4.1
Wide dynamic range
The digital signal is automatically processed to optimally cap-
ture the detail in both the high and low light areas of the scene
simultaneously, maximizing the information visible in the pic-
ture.
1.4.2
Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over-Ether-
net (IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection. With
this configuration, only a single cable connection is required to
view, power and control the camera.
1.4.3
Receiver
MPEG-4 compatible hardware decoders (for example VIP XD)
can be used as a receiver. Computers with decoding software
such as VIDOS or computers with the Microsoft Internet
Explorer web browser installed can also be used as receivers.
1.4.4
Video encoding
The camera uses the MPEG-4 compression standard. Thanks to
efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high
image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions
within wide limits.
1.4.5
Tri Streaming
Tri Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded
simultaneously according to three different, individually cus-
tomized profiles. This creates two MPEG4 streams per camera
that can serve different purposes, for example, one for local
recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN, and
an additional JPEG stream for use with a PDA.
1.4.6
Recording
The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the
network to store long-term recordings.
