Overview of Functions

Network Video Server

The VideoJet X20 is a compact network video server for two connected video sources. It is primarily designed for encoding video, audio and control data for transfer over an IP network.

With its encoding in the MPEG-4 format, the VideoJet X20 is ideally suited for making existing analog CCTV cameras IP-compatible and for remote access to digital VCRs and multiplexers.

The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily.

Two units, a VideoJet X20 as a sender and a VIP XD as a receiver, for example, can create a standalone system for data transfer without a PC. Video images from a single sender can be received simultaneously on multiple receivers. Audio signals can also be transmitted from and to compatible units.

The VideoJet X20 features industrial standard, robust equipment and is therefore equally suited to stationary as well as mobile use in rail or other vehicles.

Receiver

Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders such as VIP XD can be used as receivers.

Computers with decoding software installed, such as VIDOS, or computers with the Microsoft

Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used as receivers.

Video Encoding

The VideoJet X20 uses the MPEG-4 video compression standard. Thanks to efficient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits.

Dual Streaming

Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to two different, individually customized profiles. This feature creates two data streams per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.

Multicast

In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous real-time video transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 protocols must be implemented on the network for this function.

Encryption

The VideoJet X20 offers a variety of options for protection against unauthorized reading. Web browser connections can be protected using HTTPS. You can protect the control channels via the SSL encryption protocol. With an additional license, the user data itself can be encrypted.

VideoJet X20

Remote Control

For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the VideoJet X20's bidirectional serial interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.

Tamper Detection and Motion Detectors

The VideoJet X20 offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the connected cameras. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also part of the scope of delivery and can optionally be extended to include special video analysis algorithms.

Snapshots

Individual video images (snapshots) can be called up from the VideoJet X20, stored on the computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window in JPEG format.

Recordings

Various local memory options enable the VideoJet X20 to be used as a digital VCR. The

VideoJet X20 supports ANR technology, which guarantees seamless recording without gaps via VIDOS-NVR, even during network failures. A connection to an appropriately configured iSCSI system enables long-term recordings with high image quality over the network.

Backup

A function for storing the video images displayed on the hard drive of your computer is available on the LIVEPAGE as well as on the RECORDINGS page. Video sequences can be stored by means of a mouse click and can be redisplayed using the Player supplied as part of the scope of delivery.

Integrated Network Switch

The integrated switch functionality of the VideoJet X20 permits the ETH 1, ETH 2 and SFP interfaces to be used alternatively, redundantly or for cascading other units.

A VideoJet X20 is generally protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access to the unit. You can use different authorization levels ( User name ) to limit access.

NOTICE!

Proper password protection is only guaranteed when all higher authorization levels are also protected with a password. If a live password is assigned, for example, a service and a user password must also be set. When assigning passwords, you should therefore always start from the highest authorization level, service , and use different passwords.

User name

The VideoJet X20 operates with three user names: service , user and live , which correspond to different authorization levels.

The service user name is the highest authorization level. After entering the correct password, this user name allows you to use all the functions of the VideoJet X20 and change all configuration settings.

The user user name is the middle authorization level. You use it to operate the unit and also to control cameras, for example, but you cannot change the configuration.

The live user name is the lowest authorization level. It can only be used to view the live video image and switch between the different live image displays.

Password

You can define and change a separate password for each user name if you are logged in as service or if the unit is not password protected.

Enter the password for the selected user name here.

Partitioning


Two partitions can be set up for recordings of the cameras connected to the VideoJet X20; this is similar to the partitioning often found on computer hard drives. Parameters such as size and type of video recording can be specified for each partition. Modifying these parameters leads to reorganization, during which stored data is lost.

The unit requires a dedicated partition for the recordings of each connected camera. Each partition is linked to its own encoder or camera input: camera input Video In 1 with partition number 01 , camera input Video In 2 with partition 02 . This assignment cannot be modified. As a result, all numbers are always displayed in the list, regardless of whether a corresponding partition is available or has been deleted. Both potential partitions need to be configured in order to record two cameras.

All partitions are listed in the table on the Partitioning page together with the number of the video input ( Camera ), their partition name, alarm tracks, type and size.

In addition, the page provides you with an overview of the drive data; for example total memory and number of partitions created. A pie chart indicates how much memory space is partitioned for recordings.

Number of alarm tracks

CAUTION!

Alarm tracks must be set up in the required partition for alarm recording.

The unit uses a special recording mode during alarm recording for optimal usage of storage capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm recording begins, a recording is continuously made on one segment, which is the size of a complete alarm sequence (pre- and post-alarm time).

This segment in the partition functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and is overwritten until an alarm is actually triggered. Recording occurs on the segment only for the duration of the preset post-alarm time and a new segment is subsequently used in the same manner.

Select the number of alarm tracks to be used in the partition. One alarm event can be recorded in each alarm track. Accordingly, the number of alarms entered can be recorded and archived. A partition can contain a maximum of 128 alarm recordings.

If the Ring mode option is set for the partition, the latest alarm recordings are always saved in the preset number. If the Linear mode option is selected for the partition, the recording is stopped as soon as the total number of alarm tracks has been recorded.

Alarm track size

Analysis type

Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only MOTION+ is available – this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering. The current alarm status is displayed for information purposes.

NOTICE!

Additional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions such as IVMD and IVA are available from Bosch Security Systems.

If you select one of these algorithms, you can set the corresponding parameters here directly.

You can find information on this in the relevant documents on the product CD supplied (see

Section 3.1 Scope of Delivery , page 11).

Motion Detector (MOTION+ only)

For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:

– Analysis must be activated.

– At least one sensor field must be activated.

– The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environment and the desired responses.

– The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

CAUTION!

Reflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.

NOTICE!

The options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed cameras. Dome cameras or other motorized cameras cannot be protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself causes changes in the video image that are too great.

Sensitivity

NOTICE!

This and the following parameter are only accessible if the reference check is activated.

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environmental conditions to which the camera is subject.

Trigger delay (s)

You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This allows you to avoid false alarms triggered by short-term changes, for example cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.

Global change

You can set how large the global change in the video image must be for an alarm to be triggered. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select area . Set a high value if fewer sensor fields need to change to trigger an alarm. With a low value, it is necessary for changes to occur simultaneously in a large number of sensor fields to trigger an alarm.

This option allows you to detect, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mount bracket, for instance.

Scene too bright

Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the lens) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too dark

Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the lens (for instance, by spraying paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too noisy

Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines), as an example, should trigger an alarm.

Global change

Activate this function if the global change, as set with the Global change slide control, should trigger an alarm.

Reference check

You can save a reference image that is continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the reference image, an alarm is triggered. This allows you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example if the camera is turned.

Authentication

If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights, authentication must be activated here to allow communication with the unit. The RADIUS server must also contain the corresponding data.

To configure the unit, you must connect the VideoJet X20 directly to a computer using a network cable. This is because communication via the network is not enabled until the

Identity and Password parameters have been set and successfully authenticated.

Identity

Enter the name that the RADIUS server is to use for identifying the VideoJet X20.

Password

Enter the password that is stored in the RADIUS server.

Automatic IP assignment

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the VideoJet X20.

Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration

Manager) use the IP address for the unique allocation of the unit. When using such applications, the DHCP server must support the allocation of static IP addresses based on

MAC addresses and must be configured accordingly, so that the unit receives the same IP address after each restart.



5.29

Multicasting

i i

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the

VideoJet X20 can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously. The unit either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (multicast).

For each encoder (video input) you can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.

NOTICE!

Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet

Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported.

The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network.

The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol

(IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However, it will be necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.

NOTICE!

You must set the parameters for each encoder (video input) and for each stream individually.

With the setting 0.0.0.0

the encoder for the relevant stream operates in multi-unicast mode

(copying of data streams in the unit). The VideoJet X20 supports multi-unicast connections for up to five simultaneously connected receivers.

NOTICE!

Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the unit and can lead to impairment of the image quality under certain circumstances.

Port

Assign a different port to each data stream if there are simultaneous data streams at the same multicast address.

Enter the port address of the required stream here.

Streaming

Click the checkbox to activate multicast streaming mode for the relevant stream. An enabled stream is indicated by a check mark.
