Bosch Security's latest Firmware release

Bosch Security Systems' range of IP Video products now fully complies with the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) specification.

The new Firmware Release 4.1 is available for Dinion IP, FlexiDome IP, Extreme Series IP and AutoDome IP cameras, as well as the 200 series cameras and the VideoJet X series of encoders and VIP X1600 multi-channel encoders and decoders.

This means that users of any of these products now can make their product ONVIF compliant by installing a free of charge firmware upgrade.

Bosch is one of the founding members of the ONVIF forum, which was set up to establish a global interface standard for network video products.

The standard will enable all IP products with an ONVIF interface to fully communicate with each other over an IP network.

Firmware 4.1 also provides new features that contribute to ease of installation, including Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) functionality and Bilinx support for Dinion cameras.

Other new features include a privacy masking function, enabling selected areas in a scene under surveillance such as windows, to be grayed out to preserve privacy.

In addition, in combination with the latest BVIP (Bosch Video over IP) Lite Suite, local export support allows images to be directly exported to a PC without the need of additional licenses.

Customers with installed Bosch IP Video products are able to download Firmware Release 4.1 from the Bosch website free of charge, while new customers of Bosch cameras and encoders will receive their products already equipped with the additional Firmware 4.1 features.
