Bosch Appliances MVM-BVRM DVR User Manual


 
VRM Server
VRM Server manages the recordings of the devices. Further, it monitors the system health
status, i.e. cameras, storage online / offline, and problems of the system.
Configuration Manager
Use Configuration Manager to configure the VRM system. The program can be installed on one
or more Windows PCs that provide network access to the computer on which VRM Server has
been started.
Using this program, you specify which IP cameras and encoders have their recordings
managed using the VRM system, as well as the iSCSI storage systems on which the recordings
are stored.
Configuration Manager allows you to create users who may belong to various user groups with
different rights. Only users who are set up here can access the system settings and the
recordings managed in the VRM system.
Access to the VRM system is only permitted for users who log on using a valid user ID.
Different types of access privilege may be granted.
VRM Monitor
The VRM Monitor module is provided to monitor the VRM system. The module is automatically
installed together with VRM Server. This is where information about the connected BVIP
devices (Bosch Video over IP) and storage systems, as well as about the recordings, is
displayed.
VRM Monitor provides limited options for replaying the recordings. You cannot configure VRM
with VRM Monitor.
Notice!
You need Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 or later for the correct display.
Check the Windows Firewall settings. Default settings can possibly prohibit the display of live
images.
Video Streaming Gateway
For integration of 3
rd
party cameras Video Streaming Gateway provides an ONVIF interface.
Additionally you can integrate 3
rd
party cameras via RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) or
JPEG.
Video Streaming Gateway (via HTTP) provides NVR-like recording for Bosch cameras. This is
especially useful within low bandwidth networks. This is achieved by providing a continuous
live video stream which is written to the storage. Therefore, the quality of the recorded data is
identical to the quality of the live video. The bandwidth requirement of this live video stream is
low because the data packets of this stream do not contain any iSCSI header information. If
you have a bandwidth-reduced part in your network, ensure that the live stream is sent
through this part. If a connection loss occurs in this part of the network, the connection
between Video Streaming Gateway and iSCSI target is not affected. No new block is reserved
on the iSCSI target when the connection is reestablished. Hence, the VRM system is more
robust against connection loss.
Video Streaming Gateway supports name resolution. This allows for using (Dyn-)DNS to
connect devices. You do not need to configure IP addresses in Video Streaming Gateway.Video
Streaming Gateway itself and the VRM Server must work with fixed IP addresses.
