Bosch Security Systems | 2006-07 | V1.5 Product description
Overview of functions
Network video server
VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are network video servers for eight indepen-
dent video channels. They are primarily designed for encoding video and control
data for transmission over an IP network. With the audio versions, audio signals
can also be transmitted to and from compatible units. The use of existing net-
works means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be
achieved quickly and easily.
The VideoJet 8008 offers full D1/4CIF resolution at a complete image rate of
25 images per second for 8 channels. The VideoJet 8004 is the more economic
variant with half the image rate per channel.
VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are designed as desktop units and intended for
installation in the switch cabinet. Mounting in a 19-inch rack using the mounting kit
supplied is a quick and easy operation.
Receiver
Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders (for example the VIP XD) can
be used as receivers. Computers with decoding software such as VIDOS or
computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used
as receivers.
Video encoding
VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 use the MPEG-4 video compression stan-
dard. 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. In
this manner, the simultaneous encoding of all eight video channels is supported.
Dual Streaming in the VideoJet 8008
Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously
according to two different, individually customized profiles. With VideoJet 8008,
two data streams are created per camera that can serve different purposes, for
example, one can be used for local recording and one can be optimized for
transmission over the LAN.
The VideoJet 8004 does not offer Dual Streaming.

Installation and Operating Manual | VideoJet 8008 / VideoJet 8004
EN | 12
Product description Bosch Security Systems | 2006-07 | V1.5
Multicast
In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous
real-time video transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 pro-
tocols must be implemented on the network for this function.
DVR
The integrated hard drive means that VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 can be
used as digital video recorders for local long-term recording. Both units support
ANR technology, which guarantees seamless recording without gaps with
VIDOS-NVR, even during network failures.
Remote control
For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or
motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the bidirectional serial
interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.
Configuration
The units can be configured with a Web browser via the local network (Intranet)
or via the Internet. In the same way, firmware updates and fast loading of device
configurations are possible.
Snapshots
Individual video images (snapshots) can be called up from the unit, stored on the
computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window in JPEG format.
Backup
The LIVEPAGE and MEDIA-REPLAY pages both contain an icon for saving the
video images shown as a file on your computer's hard drive. Video sequences
can be stored by means of a mouse click and can be redisplayed using the
MPEG viewer supplied as part of the scope of delivery.

Installation 4
VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are designed as desktop units and intended
for installation in a switch cabinet. Mounting in a 19-inch rack using the mounting
kit supplied is a quick and easy operation.
For desktop operation, four self-adhesive, non-slip rubber feet are included,
which you can stick to the bottom of the unit.
Caution
The unit is designed for indoor operation. Select a suitable location for in-
stallation where the unit will not be subjected to conditions of extreme tem-
perature or humidity. The ambient temperature must be between 0 and
+40 °C (+32 and +104 °F), and the relative humidity must not exceed 80%
(non-condensing).
The unit heats up during operation, so you should ensure that there is ad-
equate ventilation and enough clearance between the unit and heat-sen-
sitive objects or equipment.
Please ensure the following installation conditions:
❚Do not install the unit close to heaters or other heat sources. Avoid locations
exposed to direct sunlight.
❚Allow sufficient space for running cables.
❚Ensure that the unit has adequate ventilation. Bear the total heat output in
mind, particularly when installing multiple units in a switch cabinet.
❚When making connections, use only the cables supplied or use appropriate
cables immune to electromagnetic interference.
❚Position and run all cables so that they are protected from damage, and pro-
vide adequate cable strain relief where needed.
❚Avoid impacts, blows and severe vibrations as these can irreparably damage
the unit.

Installing in a switch cabinet
VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are set up for installation in a 19-inch rack.
The necessary mounting kit is already supplied.
Caution
When installing in a switch cabinet, ensure that there is sufficient ventilation
for each unit: There must be at least 5 cm (1.97 in.) of free space to the left
and right of the unit and at least 10 cm (3.94 in.) at the rear.
The ambient temperature must be between 0 and +40 °C
(+32 and +104 °F), and the relative humidity must not exceed 80%.
The unit heats up during operation, so you should ensure that there is
enough clearance between the unit and other heat-sensitive equipment or
objects.
When mounting additional units, direct contact is permitted, provided that
the surface temperature of the adjacent units does not exceed +40 °C
(+104 °F).
Installing the unit
– On the left and right-hand sides of the housing, loosen the two screws on
the front panel and remove them completely.
– Insert the two angle brackets from the mounting kit into the slots next to the
screw holes on the housing and secure them with the four housing screws.
– Set the unit in the switch cabinet frame and secure the angle brackets using
the four screws, washers and lock nuts provided.
– Connect the rubber connector of the power cable supplied to the
Power socket on the rear panel of the unit.

Connections
Cameras
You can connect a maximum of eight standard video sources (such as CCTV
cameras). Any cameras and other video sources that produce a standard PAL
or NTSC signal are suitable.
Note
On the VideoJet 8008, the maximum resolution at the complete image rate
for each camera input is Full D1/4CIF. The VideoJet 8004 only supports
the Full D1/4CIF resolution when every other camera input is assigned,
that is, when the four uneven inputs (Video 1, 3, 5, 7) or the four even in-
puts (Video 2, 4, 6, 8) are assigned. If all eight inputs are assigned, the
VideoJet 8004 supports a maximum resolution of 2CIF at the full image
rate. Mixed assignment is also possible: for example, assign Video 1 to
Video 4 (2CIF) and then only Video 5 and Video 7 (4CIF each).
– Connect the cameras or other video sources with a video cable
(75 Ohm, BNC plug) to the BNC Video 1 to Video 8 sockets.
–Setthe75 Ωsliding switch under the BNC sockets to ●, in order to terminate
the video input, if the video signal is not looped through.
