Glossary
Alarm Image window
Image window for displaying one or more Alarm
Image panes.
Alarm List
Window in Bosch Video Management System used
to display a list of active alarms.
Alarm priority
Each alarm is assigned a priority. Alarms can be
configured to automatically display (pop up) in
the Alarm Image window, based on the alarm
priority. Each user's live/playback display is also
assigned a priority. When alarms are received with
priority higher than that of the user's display, the
alarm automatically displays its alarm row in the
Alarm Image window. If the Alarm Image window
is not currently displayed, it automatically
replaces the Live or Playback Image window on
the alarm-enabled monitor.
Analog monitor group
A set of analog monitors connected to decoders.
The analog monitor group can be used for alarm
processing in a given physical area. For example,
an installation with three physically separated
control rooms might have three monitor groups.
The monitors in an analog monitor group are
logically configured into rows and columns and
can be set to full-screen or quad view.
ATM
Automatic Teller Machine
Bookmark
Used for storing a time period of live or recorded
video. This allows for tagging particular scenes for
later investigation. Additionally you can share your
investigation results with other users by exporting
a bookmark.
BVIP
Bosch Video over IP. Name of a growing family of
video products, cameras, encoders and decoders
that communicate via IP (Internet Protocol).
Camera sequence
A list of cameras that are displayed one after the
other. Each camera is displayed for a specific time
(dwell time). There are two types of sequences:
predefined and automatic. Predefined sequences
are defined by the administrator. Icons for these
sequences are located in the Logical Tree.
Automatic sequences are created when you drag a
multiple selection or a folder from the Logical
Tree to an Image pane or a decoder. All cameras
in this folder or selection sequences in the Image
pane. You can create your own sequences by
creating a folder in your Favorites Tree.
DNS
Domain Name System. A DNS server converts a
URL (www.myDevice.com, for example) into an IP
address on networks that use the TCP/IP
protocol.
Dual authorization
Security policy that requires two different users to
log on to the Operator Client. Both the users must
be member of a normal Bosch Video Management
System user group. This user group (or these user
groups if the users are members of different user
groups) must be part of a dual authorization
group. A dual authorization group has its own
access rights within Bosch Video Management
System. This dual authorization group should have
more access rights than the normal user group
that the user belongs to. Example: User A is
member of a user group called Group A. User B is
member of Group B. Additionally a dual
authorization group is configured with Group A
and Group B as members. For the users of Group
A, dual authorization is optional, for users of
Group B it is mandatory. When user A logs on, a
second dialog box for confirming the logon is
displayed. In this dialog box, a second user can
log on if he is available. If not, user A can continue
and start the Operator Client. He then has only
the access rights of Group A. When user B logs
on, again a second dialog box for logging on is
displayed. In this dialog box, a second user must
log on. If not, user B cannot start the Operator
Client.
Duplex
Term used to define the direction of data
transmission between two parties. Half-duplex
allows data transmission in both directions but
not simultaneously. Full-duplex allows
simultaneous data transmission.
Dwell time
Preset amount of time a camera is displayed in an
Image window until the next camera is displayed
during a camera sequence.
