The VIP X1 features DVD-like quality MPEG‑4 video, at up
to 25/30 images per second, over IP networks. This unit
supports PAL and NTSC sources.
The audio models of the VIP X1 provide bidirectional
audio communication in parallel to video. Besides the
standard line level interface, built in amplifiers allow
direct connection to microphone and speaker.
The VIP X1 Power-over-Ethernet models can be power-fed
via the network cable.
The VIP X1 provides Dual Streaming. It is able to generate
two independently configurable MPEG‑4 video streams.
The VIP X1 is ultra-compact, so it is perfect for any
application that depends on space-saving solutions.

Functions
Viewing
The VIP X1’s video can be viewed on a PC using a simple
Web browser such as Internet Explorer or the Bosch Video
Management System. It can also be integrated into other
video management systems using the Bosch VideoSDK.
By routing the IP video to a high-performance VIP XD
video decoder or a VIDOS Monitor Wall you can present
the video with ultimate clarity on an analog CCTV or large,
flat-screen VGA monitor or TV.

Recording
The VIP X1 offers unparalleled recording options—locally
on a USB hard disk, network-attached utilizing iSCSI
devices, and of course centrally using Network Video
Recorders. The iSCSI RAID storage enables the VIP X1 to
act as a conventional DVR as well as to stream high-
performance live video across the network.
Dual Streaming
The VIP X1 uses Dual Streaming to generate two
independent IP video streams per channel if sufficient
computational power is available. This allows viewing and
recording at two different quality levels to save disk space
and bandwidth. On alarm, it may send out e‑mail with
JPEG images attached.
Access Security
The VIP X1 encoders offer various security levels for
accessing the network, the unit, and the data channels. As
well as password protection with three levels, they
support 802.1x authentication using a RADIUS server for
identification. You can secure Web browser access by
HTTPS using a SSL certificate that is stored in the unit.
For total data protection, each communication channel—
video, audio, or serial I/O—can be independently AES
encrypted with 128‑bit keys, once the Encryption Site
License has been applied.
Intelligence
With built-in video content analysis, VIP X1 supports
increased intelligence at the edge. VIP X1 comes with
MOTION+ video motion detection built-in.
MOTION+ is a pixel-change-based motion detection
algorithm that includes object size filtering capabilities
and sophisticated tamper detection capabilities including:

•

video loss

•

image too bright (detect blinding)

•

image too dark (hooding, spray painting)

•

image too noisy (camera defocused)

•

gross scene change (camera repositioned)

More advanced video content analysis (VCA) applications
are offered with Bosch’s Intelligent Video Motion
Detection (IVMD). A licensable option, the IVMD algorithm
is based on digital imaging technology and uses multi-level
image analysis of pixel, texture, and motion changes.
IVMD dynamically adapts to global lighting changes and
weather conditions (e.g. rain, snow, blowing leaves, etc.).
IVMD detects objects entering or leaving an area (detector
field) and includes user definable filters for object size,
direction of travel (single and dual), and speed. IVMD
includes the same tamper detection filters as MOTION+.
These powerful devices represent the cutting edge of
high-performance Video-over-IP for CCTV today.
Easy Upgrade
Remotely upgrade the VIP X1 encoders whenever new
firmware becomes available. This ensures up-to-date
products, thus protecting investment with little effort.
