Network Models
The 700 Series Network Recorder is the perfect match
for pure IP environments. Network recorder models
have 72 Mbit/s of bandwidth available in total.
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 easy 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.

Text data
There is extensive support for recording text data from
external sources (such as ATM machines, license plate
readers, positioning systems or cash registers)
together with the associated video.
Live text data can be viewed locally and remotely
together with the video synchronized to it. Searching
text data allows fast retrieval of the relevant video and
provides legal evidence in the event of fraud.

Flexible and reliable storage
Access the four internal hard drives via the front
without opening the unit, thus simplifying service and
making it easy to add additional storage on-site when
needed. Configure the disks as a RAID 4 array for extra
reliability.
Expand storage further with an external Bosch iSCSI
video storage array. This makes the 700 Series ideal
for applications requiring continuous recording at the
highest resolution, frame rate, and retention time.

Ease of use
Find key events in recorded video quickly by utilizing
the unit’s smart search to find changes only in
selected areas. Compare past and present events by
simultaneously viewing live images with playback
scenes.
Export recordings by simply downloading them to a
USB memory device, burning them to the optional
built-in DVD recorder, or exporting them remotely via
the Bosch Video Client or Control Center software.
The 700 Series makes it easy to manage and transport
images. Exports in Bosch format are watermarked to
ensure the authenticity of the recordings. These can
be played back on the recorder unit itself. ASF exports
can be played on any PC with a suitable media player.
