Introduction
Robert Bosch GmbH (commonly known as Bosch) is a multinational engineering and electronics company headquartered in Erlangen, near Stuttgart, Germany. It is the world's largest supplier of automotive components and other home and security appliances. The company was founded by Robert Bosch in Stuttgart in 1886.
In 2001, Bosch bought Detection Systems and Radiances, Inc., to build their business in the North American security and life safety products manufacturing/supply business. Through the Detection Systems, Bosch obtained additional sales channels in Latin America, Asia-Pacific (including Australia), and Europe.
Bosch video security system is for security management. The components of borsch video security systems are as follows.
- Central Server software provides management, monitoring, and control of the entire system.
- Video Recording Manager (VRM) and Network Video Recorder (NVR) services provide recording and playback management of video, audio, and data.
- Configuration Client software provides the user interface for system configuration and management.
- Operator Client software provides the user interface for system monitoring and operation.
Detail
All these software components can be used on a single computer for small systems or even on separate PC’s for large systems. Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) provides a Distributed Network Video Recorder solution, eliminating the need for dedicated NVRs, and signaling the second generation of IP Network video recording. The VRM provides load balancing and failover for the iSCSI storage and makes it easy to add additional iSCSI storage later on. VRM introduces the concept of a storage virtualization layer. This abstraction layer enables VRM to manage all of the individual disk arrays in the entire system as a single “virtual” common pool of storage, which is intelligently allocated as needed.
