Bosch expands IP Network product line with two multi-channel CCTV encoders

Bosch Security Systems has expanded its family of IP network video products with 2 new CCTV video encoders ideal for transmitting and recording multi-camera CCTV images over a network in a wide range of security applications including highway management, transportation, correctional facilities, casinos, government, university and business campuses and medium to large retail stores The versatile new 8-channel VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are compact 8-channels models capable of encoding video and audio from up to 8 cameras using MPEG encoding for efficient use of bandwidth and superb DVD-quality real-time video

Users can choose the frame rate to suit the application from 1 to 30 framers per second.

The VideoJet 8008 achieves a maximum data rate of 30 frames/second at 4CIF to provide very high resolution in real-time.

The 8004 offers lower rates of 15 frames/second at 4CIF or 30 frames/second at 2CIF for a more cost-effective solution where needed.

Integrated 120, 240, 600 or 800 GB hard disks provide full DVR functionality and pre-alarm recording.

When used with Bosch's Network Video Recorder (NVR), seamless recordings are ensured, even if the network has been down, due to Bosch's unique patent-pending Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) technology.

While conventional NVRs experience gaps in the recordings caused by network interruptions, Bosch's NVR uses ANR to automatically replenish those gaps using the encoders' locally buffered recording.

Video can be received and displayed with a standard web browser or VIDOS video management software.

It can also be viewed on a bank of analogue monitors using the new high- performance VIP XD decoder which features a robust MPEG-4 engine to convert high-quality digital, up to 30 frames/second, into analogue for viewing.

Both encoders offer simultaneous multi-channel capability through eight non-multiplexed MPEG-4 video streams over a Gigabit Ethernet connection.

In addition, the VideoJet 8008 is the first multi-channel unit to offer dual streaming, allowing users to choose different frame rates for say recording and live viewing.

The encoders can be configured as single-unit, 19-inch rack-mount or desktop units, and are available with optional audio capability.

Both feature ten alarm inputs plus multicasting and Internet streaming.

The VideoJet 8008 and VideoJet 8004 are part of a complete line of IP network video products for video and audio streaming, recording, playback and archiving.

Each product integrates seamlessly with existing analogue products and networks.

Compared with converting to all digital products, this offers users substantial cost savings by preserving their existing investments.

Bosch's IP products can also be used to build complex digital networks or migrate from ue to digital one piece at a time, based on the user's needs.
