The Bosch VIP-X1P is a compact single channel video encoder suitable for integrating 1 analogue video source into an IP-based infrastructure. This provides digital IP benefits such as remote access to live images and motion based alarm notification from an existing analogue CCTV camera.

The WIP-X1P comes with Power over Ethernet capability allowing it to be installed quickly using a single Ethernet cable as a source of both power and data. Flexible recording options allow the encoder to record video to attached USB storage, network attached iSCSI devices and centrally to network video recorders.

Ideal for small business security, the video encoder features MOTION+ video motion detection for alarm recording and a fully featured active tampering alarm system which will alert the user if the camera has been moved, covered or de-focussed. Like all products on offered by Network Webcams, the Bosch VIP-X1P has a built-in web server and can be viewed over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet.

Bosch VIP-X1P - Key benefits:

Allows integration of existing analogue cameras into IP-based digital networks for streaming locally to the local area network or broadcast across the Internet for remote live viewing
Digital IP benefits allow features such as recording based on the encoders built-in MOTION+ motion detection routines. Advanced video content analysis applications are available which can cover direction, speed, areas etc. (not supplied)
Flexible recording options allows the encoder to record live images using local storage such as a USB connected drive giving the option to record even if the encoder is not connected to an network

Single channel video encoder for 1x NTSC or PAL video source
Frame rate of up to 25 images per second (PAL, 30fps NTSC)
Ultra compact size provides a space-saving design for IP CCTV monitoring
High quality MPEG-4 encoding with dual streaming capabilities for viewing and recording of 2 independent streams with different quality settings to save bandwidth or storage space
MOTION+ motion detection built-in for video content analysis with object size filtering capabilities
Tamper detection feature which will trigger when the image is too bright during video loss, image too dark (covered, sprayed), image too noisy (defocused), scene change (camera repositioned)
Flexible recording using local USB storage, iSCSI network storage or network video recorders
RAID5 iSCSI storage enables the VIP-X1P to act as a conventional DVR as well as stream high performance video across the network
