Bosch Video Management System
efficient compression algorithm called CABAC
(Context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding). This
serves for high quality encoding for storage.
Hot spot
Mouse sensitive icon in map that is configured in
Configuration Client. Hot spots are cameras,
relays, Command Scripts. The user uses it for
localizing and selecting a device in a building.
Image pane
Used for displaying live and recorded video of a
single camera, a map, or an HTML file.
Image window
Container for Image panes, structured by an
Image window pattern.
Instant playback
Plays the recorded image of the selected camera
in an Image pane on the live screen. The start time
(number of seconds in the past, or rewind time)
can be configured.
Intercom functionality
Used to talk on the loudspeakers of an encoder.
This encoder must have audio-in and audio-out.
The Intercom functionality can be granted per
user group.
IPS
Images per second. Number of video images
transmitted or recorded per second.
IQN
iSCSI Qualified Name. The initiator name in IQN
format is used for provisioning addresses for both
iSCSI initiators and targets. With IQN mapping
you create an initiator group that controls the
access to the LUNs on an iSCSI target and you
write the initiator names of each encoder and the
VRM into this initiator group. Only the devices
whose initiator names are added to an initiator
group are permitted to access a LUN. See LUN
and see iSCSI.
iSCSI
Internet Small Computer System Interface.
Protocol that manages storage via a TCP/IP
network. iSCSI enables access to stored data
from everywhere in the network. Especially with
the advent of Gigabit Ethernet, it has become
affordable to attach iSCSI storage servers simply
as remote hard disks to a computer network. In
iSCSI terminology, the server providing storage
Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH
resources is called an iSCSI target, while the
client connecting to the server and accessing the
resources of the server is called iSCSI initiator.
IVA
Intelligent Video Analysis. Algorithm that detects
specific properties and the behavior of objects in
a scene monitored by a video camera and from
this generates alarm events that, in turn, can be
processed in a CCTV system. Recording with IVA
settings activated is a precondition to be able to
selectively and quickly search through video
material later. IVA makes it possible to capture
and evaluate directional movement of objects in
such a way that false alarms are prevented to a
large extent. IVA adapts automatically to changing
environmental conditions and is therefore largely
non-sensitive to perturbing influences such as rain
and tree movement. Especially when used for
forensic search, IVA allows for filtering moving
objects by their color specifications. With the aid
of IVA algorithm extensive video material can be
searched selectively for objects with specific color
properties.
LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Network
protocol running over TCP / IP that allows
accessing directories. A directory can be for
example a list of user groups and their access
rights. Bosch Video Management System uses it to
get access to the same user groups as MS
Windows or another enterprise user management
system.
Logbook
Container for logging all events in Bosch Video
Management System.
Logical Tree
Tree with a customized structure of all the
devices. The Logical Tree is used in the Operator
Client to select cameras and other devices. In the
Configuration Client, the "Full Logical Tree" is
configured (on the Maps and Structure page) and
tailored for each user group (on the User Groups
page).
LUN
Logical Unit Number. Used in the iSCSI
environment to address an individual disk drive or
a virtual partition (volume). The partition is part of
a RAID disk array (the iSCSI target).
