VIDOS Video Management System software empowers professional security, safety, and surveillance operations around the world to view and react to events directly from a PC.

Directly from the PC or laptop, VIDOS allows observation, recording, and reaction to events.

Designed for maximum usability, the PC workstation-based software uses graphical maps for a fast, simple, intuitive user experience. VIDOS uses a conventional tree structure to manage all entities in the CCTV system, including cameras, monitors, and alarms.

VIDOS is a one-stop solution, with everything you need to view and control fixed and PTZ cameras from an extensive range of providers. Fast response times ensure that cameras follow your every move. Sophisticated guard tours, PTZ presets, automated recording, and fast, seamless switching from one analog monitor to another ensures continuity in the hunt for significant events.

In addition to real-time video management, system administrators use VIDOS to set up and configure the system by automatically scanning the network for compatible devices, while continuously monitoring the health of key components.

During VIDOS system configuration, administrators create various trigger alarms, including alarm inputs, motion detection, video loss, and video contrast. Interval and weekday timers are used in conjunction with the alarms, to react only when necessary, such as when motion is detected during the night. Upon receiving an alarm, VIDOS can be configured to switch a specific camera to the workstation or analog monitor, start the NVR recording, or drive external behavior by running other software.

VIDOS can be used with, or instead of hardware decoders and associated analog monitors. It is the single point to which encoders can stream DVD-quality (MPEG-2), and high quality (MPEG-4) video and audio, as well as alarm information. It is also the single point for camera control and relay activation.

Key advantages of VIDOS IP-based video systems include the simplicity and elegance of the network cabling, and digital integration to other systems such as access panels. VIDOS-based video systems also offer access to global resources across the building, the region, the country, or the world, including follow-the-sun VIDOS surveillance workstations and long-term storage via VIDOS-NVR network video recorders.

User and Group privileges ensure operator access to predefined functionality, especially cameras and recordings stored in encoders, and VIDOS-NVR.

To maximize reliability and performance, VIDOS is available pre-installed on pre-configured and tested VIDOS workstations, or, it is available as software only. License levels are based on the sum of the number of cameras (encoders), analog monitors (decoders) and NVRs on the network. The options are 16, 32, 64 and unlimited devices.

VIDOS-NVR provides a long-term storage and retrieval solution for video and audio as part of a Bosch Video IP installation. Comprised of three key components; management software, a server platform, and RAID 5 storage, VIDOS-NVR scales to handle an unlimited number of cameras and users.

VIDOS-NVR receives MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 video across the network from Bosch Video IP encoders including the VIP and VideoJet range. Because VIDOS-NVR is network-based, it is fundamentally different from conventional digital video recorders (DVRs) and video cassette recorders (VCRs). NVRs can be securely positioned anywhere on the network, whereas DVRs and VCRs are colocated where the coax from the cameras terminates. A VIDOS-NVR server has a single gigabit ethernet connection coming in, whereas DVRs and VCRs have one connection for each camera input. This simplification in cabling is a major driver in the adoption of network-based video.

Automatic Network Replenishment technology (ANR; patent pending) ensures that there is no video loss during network interruption. In some facilities, network outages are a real concern; video loss for even a moment is unacceptable.

When part of a network carrying video is exposed (as in wireless across a parking lot, or along a highway or train track), the probability of network failure or excessive noise may be even higher. In this setting, VIDOS-NVR tracks every encoder, noting any lapses. Though the encoder is out of reach, it is still recording video locally, either on a compact flash card (VideoJet 10), or on an internal hard drive (VideoJet 1000). When communication is restored, the encoder resumes live transmission and replenishes the gap in the video on the NVR server.

The VIDOS-NVR management software is available per NVR server in three versions; 16, 32, or 64 channel licenses, depending on the number of cameras being recorded. This software is used to configure each NVR server, and once installation and setup are complete, VIDOS-NVR runs seamlessly in the background to manage the connections, access and storage.

VIDOS-NVR has been tested for compatibility with the 19 in. rack-mountable VIDOS-NVR server (also available from Bosch). This server guarantees high performance and reliability, and is available preconfigured with the software (license purchased separately).

Each VIDOS-NVR server streams incoming video and audio to one or two RAID 5 disk arrays for storage. The 19 in. rack-mountable disk arrays are available in various sizes, ranging from 960 GB to 6.4 TB, and from 6 to 16 hot-swappable hard drives. This offers weeks or months of archived video depending on the system configuration.
