As camera counts increase in video surveillance systems, image resolution technology improves.
These two factors set the table for a bandwidth and storage dilemma that can put a severe strain on your security and IT budget if smart technology isn't deployed.
Nick Hoyt and Steve Pennington sat down to talk briefly about the ongoing balance between the needs of modern security professionals, increasing camera counts, new technology, and budget.
Below their discussion, there are more videos and additional information on this highly relevant topic whether you are the security professional, IT professional, or an organizational leader.
The Bandwidth Math Challenge: What Matters to IT & Security:
TECHNOLOGY DETAILS:
Bosch IP cameras are equipped with Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) to ensure the highest quality of relevant IP images anytime, anywhere. Captured images are tailored to the content of the scene. Depending on movement, varying light intensity, and back and front light fluctuations, the camera settings are continuously and dynamically adjusted. This ensures intelligent tracking and perfect exposure of objects of interest while keeping bitrate at the lowest level.
Consequently your storage costs and network strain are reduced significantly without compromising video quality. With CBIT, our focus is on satisfying IP video surveillance applications with ever increasing needs for more detail. Depending on the camera model, CBIT offers intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR), Intelligent Video Analytics, Essential Video Analytics, intelligent Auto Exposure (iAE) and intelligent Tracking.
intelligent Auto Exposure (iAE)
Fluctuations in backlight and front light can ruin your images. To achieve the perfect picture in every situation, intelligent Auto Exposure (iAE) automatically adjusts the exposure of the camera.
It offers superb front light compensation and incredible backlight compensation by automatically adapting to changing light conditions.
With iAE, our focus is to provide you with perfect exposure every time
intelligent Tracking (iTracking)
In video surveillance, moving objects are usually the most significant objects of interest. Intelligent Tracking (iTracking) automatically tracks moving objects based on predefined alarm rules or a simple click.
By intelligently distinguishing between single and multiple ref-erence points, iTracking will provide uninterrupted tracking. Optimal capture of the object of interest is assured by dynamically adjusting the field of view.
With iTracking, our focus is never to lose track of objects of interest.

Fundamentals of IP Video for Security Professionals
A review of how Bosch VMS will impact your network and what settings may be required. Learn more about options you have for centralized versus de-centralized storage. What makes a a Bosch VMS system unique and appealing to IT? Learn more here.
Learn more here about the special engineering development that allows NetApp E-Series to connect directly via iSCSI to 100's of Bosch IP cameras with integrated iSCSI initiators. This engineering achievement allows for long term storage as well as a large number of simultaneous camera connections to an individual controller card. These direct camera connections virtually eliminate the need for multiple servers in the system. The Bosch version of the NetApp E-Series provides for a low total cost of ownership from server hardware to decreased operating costs such as power and HVAC. It also allows for much faster system deployment over a multiple 'individual storage box' solution.
Not in the market for top-performance like NetApp E-Series? No worries. We have solutions for systems of every size, every degree of reliability, and every budget.
