Configuration Manual

Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH

RAID

Redundant array of independent disks. Used for organizing two or more hard disks as if they 

were one drive. On such a drive data is shared or replicated. This is used to achieve greater 

capacity, reliability, and speed.

Recording quality

An adjustable setting for encoders (cameras). The slider range reflects the degree of 

compression used by the encoder when encoding/compressing the video signal. Setting the 

slider to the left lets the encoder use as much compression as possible (reducing the 

bandwidth requirements, file sizes and picture quality). Setting the slider to the right lets the 

encoder use as little compression as possible (increasing the bandwidth requirements, file 

sizes and picture quality).

Recording Schedule

Used for scheduling recording and for scheduling some events like starting backup or limiting 

log on. Recording Schedules cannot have gaps or overlaps. It also determines the video 

recording quality.

Recording settings

Can be set in dependency on the Recording Schedule and the state of the camera. The 

following states are possible: recording disabled, manual recording, continuous recording, 

motion recording, alarm recording

Redundant NVR

Computer in the Bosch Video Management System environment. Records the same video and 

audio data as the Primary NVR. A Primary NVR can have maximum one Redundant NVR.

Reference image

A reference image is continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video 

image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is triggered. This allows 

you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example if the camera is 

turned.

Rewind time

Number of seconds in the past when an Image pane is switched to instant playback.

RFC

Request for Comment. One of a long-established series of informal informational documents 

and standards that guide the development of the Internet.

RMon

Remote Monitoring. Standard for collecting statistical data from network devices for network 

management purposes. 

RTSP

Real Time Streaming Protocol. A network protocol which allows to control the continuous 

transmission of audio-visual data or software over IP-based networks.

Silent alarm

Alarm that puts cameras into alarm recording mode but causes no other alarm responses. 

These alarms are shown in the Event List, but do not appear in any Alarm Lists.

Site

User-created entity for grouping related system resources together for ease of viewing and 

management. Typically, a site corresponds to a physical location, like a building or a floor, but 

it may be used to represent any concept.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. IP based protocol that allows to get information from 

networking devices (GET), to set parameters on network devices (SET) and to be notified 

about certain events (EVENT).
