o 10 * VI data field with length 30 = 300 characters: 500 items/sec
(average)
o Item = data Input Event.
Known restrictions for additional data written into recordings: Bosch VMS can only process up to
3200 Bytes
(corresponds to about 3200 English characters in Unicode) per event. If the operator
wants to search for additional data and access video from the results (search being performed in
Logbook), then the later restriction applies.
Video Recording Manager (VRM)
Bosch VMS 5.0 is not compatible with VRM 3.10 and later. Using newer VRM leads to
incomplete and wrong configurations on VRM.
When removing a VRM from the Bosch VMS configuration this VRM needs to be removed from
the network before. Otherwise recording data might be lost.
When a global default password is set in a configuration with a Failover VRM, then an additional
“Change password” has to be executed on the primary VRM to authenticate the Failover VRM.
Auto-protected recording on alarm: The Timeline in Operator Client indicates exactly the time
period that was selected for protection. But in fact the entire recording block is protected, which
the protected time period belongs to.
Auto-protected recording on alarm: It may sporadically occur that the pre-alarm is not protected
with the alarm. This is the case when pre-alarm and alarm are recorded on different recording
blocks and only the later block is protected.
Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR)
Use of ANR applies to the platforms CPP-ENC and CPP4 with Firmware version 5.90 or higher.
Firmware 5.92 improves the initial functionality of ANR to become more robust against local
storage media failures and includes a few fixes.
A “buffered storage state” alarm might also indicate a missing or broken SD-card.
Please refer to the Release Notes and the Whitepaper of ANR to find out about the known limits.
These documents are available in the documents’ section of the IP cameras in the Bosch product
catalog in the Internet.
ANR feature does not show playback if user/live password is set.
Regions of Interest (ROI)
Three prerequisites must be fulfilled to check ROI in the Cameras and Recording table.
1) Codecs for stream 2 must be a ROI codec.
2) Stream 2 must be used for Live
3) No recording shall be configured for stream 2.
Default setting for Device family 3 is that stream 2 is used for recording. This has to be changed
in the schedules and profiles to configure ROI.
Operator Client
Decoding method has changed in Operator Client to support ultra high resolution cameras. As a
consequence, Bosch VMS now allocates all available resources for decoding. As a consequence
other applications and the system will slow down when Operator Client is exposed to a high
decoding load.
Another consequence is, that the performance may decrease when outdated hardware is used
for Operator Client. Please refer to the minimum system requirements specified in the data-sheet
for smooth operation.
