The Bosch 700 Series Hybrid and Network Recorders offer
top-of-the-line performance and adaptability. Equipped
with four front-replaceable hard drives and extensive
integration features, the 700 Series is ideal for medium to
large-scale systems. 700 Series’ superior image quality
and compression gets the most out of CCTV images.
Available in both IP-only and hybrid models, the 700
Series can handle even the most challenging CCTV
applications without excessive demands from installers
and operators.

Functions
High performance H.264
With real-time viewing, recording, and playback in genuine
4CIF resolution, 700 Series Recorders capture all the
details. More detail typically means increased bandwidth,
larger storage requirements, and increased costs — but
not with the 700 Series. Bosch’s adanced H.264
compression technology used in the 700 Series reduces
bandwidth and storage needs by up to 30% or more,
compared to traditional MPEG-4 systems.

Embedded design
The embedded design of the 700 Series Recorder offers a
higher level of security against network attacks than
traditional systems and has lower maintenance
requirements. The security of recordings remains high
while eliminating the need to install software patches and
anti-virus updates. The integrated architecture, built-in
installation wizards, and low-maintenance design make
the 700 Series easy to set up and operate while delivering
a lower total cost of ownership.
Hybrid Models
The world of CCTV is changing — IP is replacing the analog
standard in many areas. Bosch’s 700 Series Recorders
have the flexibility to adapt to this changing environment.
The 700 Series Hybrid Recorder is the ideal choice for
growing applications which use a mix of analog and IP
cameras. It can record 8 or 16 analog cameras and an
additional 8 or 16 IP channels, all with real-time frame
rates at 4CIF resolution.
Network Models
The 700 Series Network Recorder is the perfect match for
pure IP environments. While typical IP solutions consist of
many separate components — NVR Server, PC Client,
external RAID storage array and software — the 700 Series
Network Recorder is an all-in-one IP video management
solution.
With support for a total of 32 H.264 cameras and a fully
automated, onboard IP camera management system, 700
Series is straight forward to set up and maintain right out-
of-the-box.
Power to integrate
Bosch’s VideoSDK provides a complete toolbox of
modules for playback, searching, viewing live images, and
more — simplifying integration with other surveillance
systems. The VideoSDK even allows integration with
specialized software tools such as fraud detection
programs for retail applications.
Control of 700 Series Recorders can be automated using
CLI (Command Language Interface) commands. This
allows the 700 Series to be interfaced with external
software (over RS232 or IP), which is typically used to
sense alarms or handle access control on an existing
(embedded) computer system. Functions include front
panel emulation, configuration, and viewing status
information. For instructions on how to use the CLI,
please refer to the documentation on the Bosch Security
Systems website.
Record text data together with associated video (e.g. from
an ATM machine, license plate reader, or cash register)
using the text support feature. Searching text data allows
fast retrieval of the associated video and provides legal
evidence in the event of fraud.
