Operation Manual

Encoder
Changes an analog stream to a digital stream, e.g.,
to integrate analog cameras in a digital system like
Bosch Video Management System. Some encoders
can have a local storage like a flash card, a USB
hard disk, or they can store their video data on
iSCSI devices. IP cameras have an encoder built
in.
Enterprise Access
Consists of one or more Enterprise Accounts.
Each Enterprise Account contains device
permissions to devices of a particular
Management Server.
Enterprise Account
Authorization that enables an Operator Client to
connect to the devices of a Management Server
being part of an Enterprise System. In an
Enterprise Account, all permissions for the
devices of this Management Server are
configured. Operator Client can simultaneously
connect to all Management Server computers that
are part of this Enterprise System. This access is
either controlled by the membership to an
Enterprise User Group, and is controlled by the
device permissions configured in the Enterprise
Account for this Management Server.
Enterprise Management Server
Bosch VMS Management Server hosting the
configuration of Enterprise User groups. You need
one or more Enterprise User groups referring to
one or more servers computers. The roles of
Enterprise Management Server and Management
Server can be combined in one configuration.
Enterprise System
Feature of Bosch Video Management System that
allows a user of Operator Client to access
multiple Management Server computers
simultaneously.
Enterprise System
Feature of Bosch Video Management System that
allows a user of Operator Client to access
multiple Management Server computers
simultaneously.
Enterprise User Group
User group that is configured on an Enterprise
Management Server. Defines the users that are
authorized to access multiple Management Server
computers simultaneously. Defines the operating
permissions available for these users.
Event
A circumstance or state that is linked to an alarm
and/or an action. Events can arise from many
sources such as cameras, archivers, directories,
digital inputs, etc. They can include start-
recording states, loss of signal states, disk full
messages, user logons, digital input triggers, etc.
Hot spot
Mouse sensitive icon in map that is configured in
Configuration Client. Hot spots are cameras,
relays, Command Scripts. The user uses it for
localizing and selecting a device in a building.
Image pane
Used for displaying live and recorded video of a
single camera, a map, or an HTML file.
Image pane pattern
Arrangement of Image panes.
Image window
Container for Image panes, structured by an
Image window pattern.
Instant playback
Plays the recorded image of the selected camera
in an Image pane on the live screen. The start time
(number of seconds in the past, or rewind time)
can be configured.
Intercom functionality
Used to talk on the loudspeakers of an encoder.
This encoder must have audio-in and audio-out.
The Intercom functionality can be granted per
user group.
IVA
Intelligent Video Analysis. Algorithm that detects
specific properties and the behavior of objects in
a scene monitored by a video camera and from
this generates alarm events that, in turn, can be
processed in a CCTV system. Recording with IVA
settings activated is a precondition to be able to
selectively and quickly search through video
material later. IVA makes it possible to capture
and evaluate directional movement of objects in
such a way that false alarms are prevented to a
large extent. IVA adapts automatically to changing
environmental conditions and is therefore largely
non-sensitive to perturbing influences such as rain
and tree movement. Especially when used for
forensic search, IVA allows for filtering moving
objects by their color specifications. With the aid
