1.5 F UNCTION
The ACTIA video protection system BOP HD records the video and audio data of the
attached cameras, microphones and peripheral devices (e.g. GPS) as well as additional
information from the vehicle. The data will be stored on removable data storage (hard
disk).
The analysing happens directly (live-view, alarm data transfer) or later by checking the
stored data by the use of the BOP Reviewer Software.
The data at an alarm are stored separately. This data could be automatically transferred
to an external registration office by the use of a external modem.
The system is especially designed for the integration in public transport such as buses and
trains.

2. G ENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIBTION – BOP HD
The BOP HD is a digital video protection system especially for the use in public transport
such as buses and trains.
The system is placed in a robust metal case. It allows the real time digital recording from up
to 8 (16) analogue video signals (PAL or NTSC) in MPEG4/H.264 format, up to 2 audio
tracks, the actual GPS position information (by the use of a optional GPS-mouse) as well as
the additional information from environmental systems (IBIS data, CAN information, switch
signals, …).
The recording starts by the ignition (clamp 15) or a digital input (wakeup function). The
data are stored in a ring buffer (controlled by the capacity or time). This method ensure the
recording of the actual data, even the data storage is full.
Data which are recorded during an alarm (triggered by CAN, a digital input or Ethernet
broadcast) are stored at a save area. This area could not be overwritten by the ring buffer.
The data could be displayed to the attached monitors during the recording. Data which are
stored during an alarm (alarm data) could be transferred automatically by the use of an
external modem.
The configuration is made by an easy to use web interface.
