Bosch Security Systems has added several new features to its DiBos family of digital video recorder and transmission systems for CCTV surveillance that considerably enhance performance and ease of use. Chief among the new features is the step-up from JPEG to MPEG-4 compression technology that provides best image quality. At the same time it increases data storage efficiency, providing substantial savings in archiving costs. Other new features include the ability to combine legacy analog technology with state-of-the-art digital networking; as well as a newly designed user interface and an improved configuration process.
With MPEG-4 compression, DiBos now provides superior images and makes optimal use of available bandwidth and storage capacity, allowing a very high number of images to be simultaneously transmitted over networks. MPEG-4 enables at least five times more images than JPEG or Wavelet techniques for the same resolution and quality. DiBos also allows the combination of MPEG-4 and JPEG data streams, meaning that the system can employ both analog and digital network cameras.
The new Pentaplex feature allows the connection of a total of 62 cameras to one DiBos system to give maximum flexibility and scalability. Five simultaneous modes are provided by the Pentaplex feature: viewing of live images, recording of images, search and viewing of recorded images, image transmission and download via local network or Internet, and image export to external recording devices.
The new user interface not only gives a sophisticated and attractive 'look and feel', but also considerably improves ease of use. DiBos is designed for fast and convenient installation with 'plug-and-play' set-up.
An additional innovative feature now incorporated in DiBos is the unique Bilinx bi-directional interface. Bilinx uses conventional coax, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and fibre-optic video transmission links. It enables users to download, store and upload data using DiBos, or a PC-controlled configuration tool connected any place in the video cable to customise camera settings and control according to specific application requirements. Bilinx also enables control of Autodome cameras.
