System Overview
The Bosch Video Management System contains the
following software components:
Central Server software provides management,
monitoring, and control of the entire system
Video Recording Manager (VRM) and Network Video
Recorder (NVR) services provide recording and
playback management of video, audio, and data
Configuration Client software provides the user
interface for system configuration and management
Operator Client software provides the user interface
for system monitoring and operation
These software components can be run together on a
single PC for small systems or on separate PCs and
servers for large systems.
Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides a
Distributed Network Video Recorder solution, eliminating
the need for dedicated NVRs, and signaling the second
generation of IP Network video recording.
The VRM provides load balancing and failover for the
iSCSI storage and makes it easy to add additional iSCSI
storage later on. VRM introduces the concept of a storage
virtualization layer. This abstraction layer enables VRM to
manage all of the individual disk arrays in the entire
system as a single “virtual” common pool of storage,
which is intelligently allocated as needed.
The usage of multiple client workstations offers great
scalability.
