Bosch launches new generation DVR with remote possibilities

Bosch Security Systems has launched the Divar MR, a new generation CCTV management technology that combines the very highest quality digital video recording with an ability to view and control cameras, handle alarms and monitor device status all through a common interface.Suited to a wide range of retail, education and leisure applications, at its core the Divar MR provides simultaneous, real-time recording on up to 16 channels to the pixel resolution standard for video known as CIF (Common Intermediate Format).  When even higher resolution is needed, 4CIF (i.e. four times CIF resolution) is also an option.  The recorder uses MPEG-4 compression technology to significantly reduce bandwidth and increase its storage capability, whilst reducing the overall storage costs."Divar MR has a number of clever features that add to its convenience," explains Adam Breeze, Strategic Marketing Manager.  "For example, it allows users to view a number of live images and play back a scene simultaneously so that they can compare past and present events.  They can capture an event at the press of a button on the unit's front panel, and receive an email when an event occurs.  There is even a ‘smart search' feature that helps users find recorded images quickly and efficiently simply by looking for changes in a selected area."The new system can be controlled either locally or remotely via the intuitive Divar MR Control Centre.  The Control Centre enables live viewing and playback, configuration and remote alarm notification.  All operations and controls can be centralised, and for further convenience, live images can also be viewed through Internet Explorer allowing users to keep in touch with their security from virtually anywhere in the world.Other features include an overwrite protection capability to ensure the integrity of all recordings, and an ability to export such recordings to CD or DVD as well as USB devices as required.  An archive player is included in the external media for fast access to exported recordings, and includes an image authentication feature for images required as evidence in court.Both eight and 16-channel versions of Divar MR are standard, and a variety of control and input options are available including mouse, CCTV keyboard, front panel (which includes a jog dial for even faster access) and IR remote control.  The unit is compatible with all other Bosch CCTV technology as well as third-party domes and PTZ cameras.

EverFocus develops product offering in the market with the launch of an HD-CCTV range
EverFocus develops product offering in the market with the launch of an HD-CCTV range

EverFocus launched a complete HD-CCTV solution delivering 720p/1080i resolution high definition images through standard coaxial cable, which has proved popular in the analogue-dominated surveillance market of the UK. EverFocus has also recently extended its HD-CCTV range to include three new hybrid HD-CCTV DVRs and four HD-CCTV cameras.EverFocus is also well positioned for growth in demand for IP with an expanding range of IP cameras. Six new two megapixel network cameras, offering either 720p or 1080p HD resolution were also launched at IFSEC last month. All these Nevio-branded HD IP cameras are ONVIF and PSIA compliant, offer two-way audio and all non-compact cameras can be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). It also unveiled nine new mobile analogue cameras and three mobile digital video recorders (DVRs) for mobile vehicular surveillance.EverFocus is now looking to accelerate its growth in the market through a stronger focus on providing complete ‘plug and play' systems to meet specific market needs.James Weng, president of EverFocus Electronics Corporation commented at IFSEC: "EverFocus provides HD systems either with HD-CCTV via existing coaxial or megapixel IP via network; the dual approach helps, particularly in traditional CCTV-dominated markets like the UK. But we are now focusing harder on building whole surveillance systems designed for specific market applications. We aim to be a valued added manufacturer which installers and integrators can go to for ready-to-use security systems which can be configured easily to meet specific customer needs.""With ease-of-use as a key theme we are now extending support for new end user display devices including smart phones and tablets. You may have noticed our new MobileFocus app for smart phone display of images from our DVRs for example."

Bosch extends range of networkable DVRs with MPEG-4 technology
Bosch extends range of networkable DVRs with MPEG-4 technology

Bosch Security Systems has launched DiBos 8, a family of powerful, network-oriented digital video surveillance and recording systems featuring advanced MPEG-4 digital encoding technology for the highest levels of image quality, information content, and data storage efficiency.The new technology, which complements its highly successful DIVAR range, allows viewing of both live and recorded images on as many as 62 video channels, and has extensive communication, networking and systems interfacing features.  It is designed for a range of applications including banks, retail chains, railway stations and airports, public and corporate offices, city centres, industrial facilities, and various other internal and external locations.“MPEG 4 encoding means more images can be recorded in greater detail than ‘traditional’ JPEG or wavelet recorders, and without using up valuable storage,” explains Jeremy Hockham, Bosch Security Systems’ Managing Director.  “The ability to combine MPEG-4 and conventional JPEG data streams allows DiBos to be used with a wider range of video cameras, from local analogue devices through to remote IP cameras and servers.”DiBos gives authorised users fast, convenient access to view live or recorded images.  For live images, DiBos allows up to 30 local cameras and up to 32 IP-networked cameras to be selected instantly, with multi-image or full-screen display.  Date/time, location, zone and selected camera information are also displayed.  A powerful search function enables recorded images to be found easily, and playback speed can be specifically controlled to pinpoint exact events.  Searches can be made either locally or remotely, over a company network or via the Internet.The DiBos family comprises three versions: DiBos Rack Mount for larger installations (managing up to 30 cameras and 32 networked devices, 42 audio and networked audio channels, and with an internal storage capacity of up to 1600GB); DiBos Micro for smaller installation (up to 12 cameras and eight network devices and 400GB of storage); and the DiBos Receiver/IP recorder, supplied as software for an XP PC, that receives alarm images from remote DiBos units via LAN and/or ISDN and/or PSTN.  Special versions of this software allow the recording of 16 or 32 IP cameras.As well as DiBos, Bosch Security Systems recently launched the DVRC4C system to provide continuous, 24-hour video and audio recording from four cameras with the additional benefits of alarm handling, motion detection and local archiving via a built-in USB port. Targeted at the ‘smaller’ installations, the DVRC4C is both easy to install and use, with simultaneous recording and playback to ensure nothing is missed.  A large storage capacity combined with small file sizes provides an extended recording capability, and images can be reviewed locally or remotely using standard analogue or digital phone lines, LAN or WAN, or via the web.
