2 Bosch Video Management System v.4.5.5

•Mobile Video Service provides a transcoding service. It transcodes the live and recorded video stream from a configured camera according to the available network bandwidth. This service enables video clients like an iPhone or a Web client to view high-quality images via low bandwidth.

•Mobile App: You can use the Mobile App on iPhone or iPad to access live and playback video.

•Web Client: You can access live and playback videos via Web browser.

•Bosch Video Streaming Gateway: Provides the integration of ONVIF cameras.

•Remote access via public networks

Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides a Distributed Network Video Recorder solution, eliminating the need for dedicated NVRs.

VRM provides load balancing and failover for the iSCSI Storage System and makes it easy to add additional iSCSI Storage Systems later on. VRM introduces the concept of a storage virtualization layer. This abstraction layer enables VRM to manage all of the individual disk arrays in the entire system as various “virtual” pools of storage, which are intelligently allocated as needed.

The usage of multiple client workstations offers great scalability.

Bosch VMS manages 2,000 IP cameras / encoders per Management Server (up to 200,000 in Enterprise Systems). One Bosch VMS supports 100 workstations.
