AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems
3 System Information
3.1 Overview of functions
The camera incorporates a network video server. Its primary
function is to encode video and control data for transmission
over an IP network. With its H.264 encoding, it is ideally suited
for IP communication and for remote access to digital video
recorders and IP systems. The use of existing networks means
that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be
achieved quickly and easily. Video images from a single camera
can be simultaneously received on several receivers.
3.1.1 Progressive scan
The camera captures and processes progressively scanned
images. When there is fast motion in a scene, progressively
scanned images are generally sharper than interlaced images.
3.1.2 Tri-streaming
Tri-streaming allows the data stream to be encoded
simultaneously according to three different, individually
customized profiles. This creates two full H.264 streams that
can serve different purposes and an additional M-JPEG stream.
3.1.3 ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
The camera complies to the ONVIF standard which means that
it is easier to install and integrate into larger systems. The
ONVIF standard is a global standard for the interface of network
video products.
3.1.4 Audio
Two-way duplex audio is available in the unit for live voice
communications or audio recording.
3.1.5 Alarm I/O
The alarm input can be used to control the functionality of the
unit. An alarm output can control external devices.

Dinion IP Camera System Information | en 19
Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation Manual AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06
3.1.6 Tamper detection and motion detectors
The camera offers a wide range of configuration options for
alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the camera. An
algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also
part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to
include special video analysis algorithms.
3.1.7 Video encoding
The camera uses the H.264 compression standards. 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.
3.1.8 Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables
simultaneous, real time transmission to multiple receivers. The
prerequisite for this is that the UDP and IGMP V2 protocols are
implemented on the network.
3.1.9 Power-over-Ethernet
Power for the camera can be supplied via a Power-over-
Ethernet compliant network cable connection. With this
configuration, only a single cable connection is required to
view, power, and control the camera.
3.1.10 Data interface
An external communications port with RS485/RS422/RS232 is
available to provide data to external devices, such as pan and
tilt heads, for full PTZ control via the Ethernet interface.
3.1.11 Encryption
The unit offers a variety of options for protection against
unauthorized reading. Web browser connections can be
protected using HTTPS. Protect the control channels via the
SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user
data itself can be encrypted.

AR18-10-B006 | v1.1 | 2010.06 Installation and Operation Manual Bosch Security Systems
3.1.12 Receiver
H.264 compatible hardware decoders 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.
3.1.13 Recording
The camera can be used with an iSCSI server connected via the
network to store long-term recordings.
3.1.14 Snapshots
Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up as JPEG
images, stored on the hard drive, or displayed in a separate
browser window.
3.1.15 Backup
The browser application has an icon for saving the video images
provided by the unit as a file on your computer's hard drive.
Clicking this icon stores the video sequences and they can be
replayed with the Player from Bosch Security Systems included
with the package.
3.1.16 Configuration
The camera can be configured using a browser on the local
network (Intranet) or from the Internet. Similarly, firmware
updates and rapid loading of device configurations are also
possible. Configuration settings can be stored as files on a
computer and copied from one camera to another.
