Bosch Security Systems IVA 4.x VCA software License for Dual Channel Encoder

The fourth generation of the Bosch Intelligent Video Analysis system, IVA 4.0, is the guard-assistant system of choice when you need reliable video motion detection for indoor or outdoor use. IVA 4.0 is state-of-the-art intelligent video analysis that reliably detects, tracks, and analyzes moving objects while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image.

IVA 4.0 is a licensed option already fully prepared in Dinion IP, Extreme IP, FlexiDome IP, and AutoDome IP cameras, as well as the VIP X1600 and VideoJet X families of encoders. The functionality built into IVA 4.0 cameras and encoders is able to detect idle and removed objects as well as loitering, multiple line crossing, and trajectories. Embedded Video Content Analysis (VCA), that decides which video is captured, is an implementation of the Intelligence-at-the-Edge concept. By only selecting alarm video for streaming or recording, less bandwidth and storage is used.

Alarm conditions can be signaled by a relay output on the unit or an alarm connection, to stream video to a decoder or video management system. Alarms can also be transmitted to a video management system to start extended alarm scenarios. As well as creating alarms, IVA 4.0 produces metadata that describes the content of the analyzed scene. This metadata is sent over the network - and may also be recorded - together with the video stream. It can be used for providing a forensic search capability for recordings together with the archive player program and a Forensic Search license. Forensic searching is very time efficient and can scan a huge recording database for events within seconds.
