Functions
Flexibility
VIP X1600 XF supports external storage, either directly
attached to the unit (Recording-at-the-Edge), or across
an IP network to a centralized network video recorder
(NVR). For Recording-at-the-Edge, attach an iSCSI
RAID directly to VIP X1600 XF, making the system’s
recording performance wholly independent from the
network’s performance. The iSCSI RAID storage
enables VIP X1600 XF to act as a conventional DVR and
stream high-performance live video across the
network.
VIP X1600 XF supports the Bosch Video Recording
Manager VRM, Bosch’s flexible and scalable recording
management software. It allows a flexible assignment
of recording space on camera level including load
balancing and decent redundancy features. Bosch VRM
is available as stand-alone system or embedded into
the Bosch Video Management System.

Dual Streaming
The VIP X1600 XF encoder modules use Dual
Streaming to generate two independent IP video
streams per channel if sufficient computational power
is available. This allows viewing and recording at two

Dual recording
You can record the streams independently on different
media. Thus video can e.g. be recorded centrally on
iSCSI drives managed by VRM Video Recording
Manager and redundantly on the local media.

Manager and redundantly on the local media.
Recording profiles
The encoder modules feature a highly flexible
recording scheduler, providing up to ten
programmable recording profiles and allowing
individually assigned camera profiles. With these
profiles, you can accelerate the frame rate as well as
increase the resolution on alarm, saving recording
space during non-alarm periods.

Access security
The VIP X1600 XF modules offer various security levels
for accessing the network, the unit, and the data
channels. As well as password protection with up to
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 X1600 XF
encoder modules reinforce the Intelligence-at-the-Edge
concept where edge devices become increasingly
intelligent. The VIP X1600 XF encoder module comes
with built-in MOTION+ video motion detection. This
motion detection algorithm is based on pixel change
and includes object size filtering capabilities and
sophisticated tamper detection capabilities.
Bosch offers more advanced video content analysis
(VCA) applications with its Intelligent Video Analysis
(IVA). A licensable option, it bases the IVA algorithm
on digital imaging technology that uses multi-level
image analysis of pixel, texture, and motion
(trajectory) changes.

Viewing
View the VIP X1600 XF encoder module video on a PC
using a Web browser, in the Bosch Video Management
System, or integrate it into another video management
system. By routing the IP video to a high-performance
VIDEOJET decoder or a monitor wall, you can present
the video with ultimate clarity.

Easy upgrade
Remotely upgrade the VIP X1600 XF modules
whenever new firmware becomes available. This
ensures up-to-date products, thus protecting
investment with little effort.
