The Bosch Video Management System is a unique enterprise IP video security solution that provides seamless management of digital video, audio, and data across any IP network. It provides the best VMS to go with Bosch CCTV devices, leveraging the unique capabilities of Bosch cameras and recording solutions. It nevertheless offers interfaces and standards to integrate other systems and manufacturers. The system is equipped with a unique embedded resilience.
It keeps operations up and running even when both, Management and Recording Servers fail. On edge intelligent Video Analyses and the unmatched recording technology managing up to 2000 cameras with a single server dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership.
The Bosch Video Management System allows a very flexible system design:
Professional: Single Management Server System 1 to 2000 cameras out of the box. Only this system supports Bosch VMS-BIS Connectivity.
Enterprise System: Supporting multi Management Server requirements for Metro, Airport and other large industrial facilities across different time zones. Supports controlled monitoring across different legal entities. Monitoring of up to 10,000 cameras across 10 subsystems per user group resulting in 200,000 cameras in total. Up to 30 subsystems per user group for <100 cameras per subsystem, allowing each operator to access events, alarms, live and playback from up to 30 Management Server computers simultaneously.
Maximum 2000 ONVIF cameras per Management Server.
Access to live including PTZ control and recorded video of up to 9999 sites with Bosch DVR recorders, DIVAR IP 3000 / 7000 and single Management Server systems.
The Bosch Video Management System is installed on a Microsoft Windows Operating System. We recommend using Bosch Workstations and Servers. They are fully tested and optimized for Bosch Video Management System.
In addition to the Bosch ST standard terms and conditions of sale, the Bosch Software Maintenance Agreement is a great option to keep the VMS always up to date.
Software components
Management Server software provides management, monitoring, and control of the entire system. One single Management Server manages up to 2000 Cameras/encoders.
Enterprise Management Server provides access to multiple Management Servers.
Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides recording and playback management of video, audio, and data. One single VRM manages up to 2000 cameras/encoders (including up to 2000 ONVIF cameras).
