Bosch Video Management System

Overview
As of Bosch VMS 3.0 an improved and user-friendly recording configuration is introduced.
The basic settings (non-scheduled) have been separated from recording settings
(scheduled).Basic settings are for the initial configuration of streams. Recording settings are
for assigning these streams to different use-cases, such as continuous recording, pre-alarm
recording, or alarm recording. The recording settings are arranged in a new dialog called
Scheduled Recording Settings accessible via the Cameras and Recording page. For more
details, see Section 4.2 Changing qualities in schedules, page 8.

Basic stream settings (schedule-independent)
You can configure different codec profiles in the Camera and Recording page of the
Configuration Client.

2.1

Codecs and HD resolution
Codecs are part of the basic stream settings. The Bosch VMS gives you default settings for all
codecs and qualities. You can change these settings to your own configuration.
It depends on the camera device family which codec you can select.
See the list below for detailed information per device family.
Camera Model

Description

VIP X

The MPEG-4 SH++ codec profile is available. H.264 Baseline Profile
(BP) is not supported in Bosch VMS for VIP X platform devices.

VIP X 1600 XFM4

It is possible to configure H.264 BP+ (Baseline Profile+) and H.264 MP
(Main Profile). As per default H.264 MP is set for both streams 1 and 2.
We recommend not changing these settings.
Note: The H.264 BP+ codec for XFM4 is limited to 2500 kbps.
For VIP X 1600 XFM4 devices specific H.264 codec functions are
available in the Stream Quality Settings dialog box.
You can enable or disable H.264 deblocking filter and CABAC
(Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) individually for
each stream quality. If a large amount of Image panes are required to
display in Operator Client, resolve performance issues by disabling
CABAC and H.264 deblocking filter.

Camera Model

Description

ARM SD

An ARM SD device has a special pre-defined H.264 codec profile which

(Standard

you can select, i.e. H.264 MP Low Latency.You can configure H.264

Definition)

MP Low Latency and H.264 BP+. As per default H.264 MP Low

5

Latency is configured for both streams 1 and 2. We recommend these
settings.
Note: The H.264 BP+ codec for ARM SD devices is limited to 1200
kbps.
Note: If live video shall be displayed on a VIPX Decoder, select H.264
BP+ due to hardware limitations of the decoder. It is only possible to
use H.264 BP+ on one stream. If H.264 MP is selected, live video on a
decoder is not possible.
ARM HD

As the codec for HD is always H.264 the HD resolutions 720p and

(High Definition)

1080p are fixed with the codec configuration.
Stream 1 is the main HD stream. You can copy stream 1 and generate a
second HD stream with the same settings. All Bosch HD models are
able to generate an independent second stream in SD resolution with
different settings to stream 1. You may limit the performance of stream
1 to do that (see device data sheet). The stream quality levels can be
configured in the stream quality dialog.

3

Stream assignment for Live Video
You can assign either stream 1 or stream 2 for Live Video. The quality and codec of the basic
stream settings are used.

Scheduled Recording Settings

4.1

Background
Increasing camera capacity over time has led to a change in the configuration of recording
settings in Bosch VMS version 3.0.
In CCTV installations, cameras are typically grouped by location and/or time-schedule (e.g.
Alarm Recording Night and Weekend), and not by technical differences between camera
models.

These groups can now be mapped as templates in the Scheduled Recording Settings dialog.
All recording configurations are now centralized in this dialog.
With this template concept Bosch VMS provides faster configuration combined with the best
overview of recording configuration ever.
Enter the Scheduled Recording Settings dialog by pressing Edit scheduled recording
settings in the Toolbar of the Cameras and Recording page.

In the Scheduled Recording Settings dialog you can configure the recording behavior of the
devices. The Bosch VMS gives you a set of pre-defined recording settings (templates) per
default. You can modify these templates to your needs or you can add new templates.
The recording settings per device family can be configured independently per schedule.

You should give your configuration a descriptive name which is then listed in the Available
Recording Settings list.
You can select all configured Recording Settings in the cameras list. Assign now one
Recording Setting per camera. You can copy and paste one setting to all cameras for quick
configuration.
