Functions

Flexibility

VIP X1600 XF supports external storage, either directly attached to the unit (Recording-at-the-Edge), or across an IP network to a centralized network video recorder (NVR). For Recording-at-the-Edge, attach an iSCSI RAID directly to VIP X1600 XF, making the system’s recording performance wholly independent from the network’s performance. The iSCSI RAID storage enables VIP X1600 XF to act as a conventional DVR and stream high-performance live video across the network.

VIP X1600 XF supports the Bosch Video Recording Manager VRM, Bosch’s flexible and scalable recording management software. It allows a flexible assignment of recording space on camera level including load balancing and decent redundancy features. Bosch VRM is available as stand-alone system or embedded into the Bosch Video Management System.

Dual Streaming

The VIP X1600 XF encoder modules use Dual Streaming to generate two independent IP video streams per channel if sufficient computational power is available. This allows viewing and recording at two

different quality levels to save disk space and bandwidth. On alarm, they can send an e‑mail with JPEG images attached.

Dual recording

You can record the streams independently on different media. Thus video can e.g. be recorded centrally on iSCSI drives managed by VRM Video Recording Manager and redundantly on the local media.

Recording profiles

The encoder modules feature a highly flexible recording scheduler, providing up to ten programmable recording profiles and allowing individually assigned camera profiles. With these profiles, you can accelerate the frame rate as well as increase the resolution on alarm, saving recording space during non-alarm periods.

Access security

The VIP X1600 XF modules offer various security levels for accessing the network, the unit, and the data channels. As well as password protection with up to three levels, they support 802.1x authentication using a RADIUS server for identification. You can secure Web browser access by HTTPS using a SSL certificate that is stored in the unit. For total data protection, each communication channel—video, audio, or serial I/O— can be independently AES encrypted with 128‑bit keys, once the Encryption Site License has been applied.

Intelligence

With built-in video content analysis, VIP X1600 XF encoder modules reinforce the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept where edge devices become increasingly intelligent. The VIP X1600 XF encoder module comes with built-in MOTION+ video motion detection. This motion detection algorithm is based on pixel change and includes object size filtering capabilities and sophisticated tamper detection capabilities.

Bosch offers more advanced video content analysis (VCA) applications with its Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA). A licensable option, it bases the IVA algorithm on digital imaging technology that uses multi-level image analysis of pixel, texture, and motion (trajectory) changes.

Viewing

View the VIP X1600 XF encoder module video on a PC using a Web browser, in the Bosch Video Management System, or integrate it into another video management system. By routing the IP video to a high-performance VIDEOJET decoder or a monitor wall, you can present the video with ultimate clarity.

Easy upgrade

Remotely upgrade the VIP X1600 XF modules whenever new firmware becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products, thus protecting investment with little effort.
