Functions
Outstanding Image Quality
With its 320x240 VOx sensor, the VOT‑320 IP camera
delivers outstanding image quality. The Bosch designed
digital video processing system optimally handles the
thermal image format without compromise. Temperature
differences of 50 mK or less are made visible. Video
processing features include multiple automatic, dynamic
image optimization algorithms, as well as polarity control
(white hot/black hot). Automatic flat-field correction
(FFC) updates correction coefficients of the camera,
resulting in a more uniform array output.
Efficient Bandwidth and Storage Management
The cameras use H.264 compression, bandwidth
throttling, and multicast capabilities to manage bandwidth
and storage requirements efficiently, while delivering high
image quality and resolution. Bosch's innovative tri-
streaming feature enables VOT‑320 IP cameras to
generate two independent H.264 streams and one
JPEG stream simultaneously. This allows the streaming of
one high-resolution H.264 stream for live viewing and
recording, and a second lower resolution H.264 stream for

generate two independent H.264 streams and one
JPEG stream simultaneously. This allows the streaming of
one high-resolution H.264 stream for live viewing and
recording, and a second lower resolution H.264 stream for
constrained-bandwidth networks. The JPEG images can
be streamed to another device at the same time. The
JPEG video stream also provides easy integration with
third-party JPEG compatible video management systems.
Recording Options
VOT‑320 cameras offer unparalleled recording options.
Attached to the network, they can use iSCSI targets
directly. The iSCSI storage target support enables the
cameras to function as a conventional DVR, while
streaming high-performance live video across the network.
The VOT‑320 cameras also provide the user with a local
storage option within the camera.
Users can record the streams independently on different
media. Thus video can be recorded centrally on iSCSI
drives managed by VRM Video Recording Manager and
redundantly on the local SD card. If necessary (for
example, in case of a network failure), VRM can fill the
gap in the central recording using Automatic Network
Replenishment (ANR).
When used with a SD card, the camera is a complete, self-
contained surveillance system without the need for
additional equipment.
ONVIF Conformance
The camera conforms to the ONVIF (Open Network Video
Interface Forum) specification which guarantees
interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer. ONVIF conformant devices are
able to exchange live video, audio, metadata and control
information. They are automatically discovered and
connected to network applications such as video
management systems.
Unsurpassed Flexibility
There are many ways to access the camera’s video: on a
PC using a web browser, with the Bosch Video
Management System, or with the supplied Bosch Video
Client.
Bosch Video Client Surveillance Software
The bundled Bosch Video Client PC surveillance software
offers a user-friendly interface to support easy installation
and configuration. A wizard allows the configuration of
multiple cameras simultaneously using an auto detection
device. Multiple cameras can be monitored in one screen
and video clips on the SD card can be archived and
searched in a single application.
Bosch Video Client supports up to 16 cameras without
licensing and can be expanded to up to 64 cameras by
adding 8- or 16‑channel licenses.
Easy Upgrade
Remotely upgrade the camera whenever new firmware
becomes available. This ensures up-to-date products, thus
protecting investment with little effort.
