Client Enterprise SDK The Client Enterprise SDK is meant to control and
monitor the behaviour of Operator Client of an Enterprise
System by external applications. The SDK allows to
browse devices that are accessible by the running,
connected Operator Client and to control some UI
functionalities.
Client SDK / Server SDK The Server SDK is used to control and monitor the

Intended use
When a failure of the network or the central storage occurs, the ANR function ensures that
the encoder transmits the locally buffered recording of the missing time period to the
central storage after the failure is fixed.
The following graphic shows the transmission of video data after a network or storage
failure is fixed.

3. Higher priority alarms are displayed above lower priority alarms on both monitor rows
and the Operator Client workstation display alarm rows.
4. If the Alarm image window is completely full of Alarm image rows and an additional
alarm must be displayed, the lowest priority alarms "stack up" in the bottom row of the
Alarm image window. You can step through the stacked alarms with the controls at the
left side of the alarm row.
You can step through the alarm stacks on monitor groups with control buttons in the
Monitors window of the Operator Client workstation display. Monitors in alarm are
indicated by red icons with blinking "LEDs".
The alarm title, time, and date can be optionally be displayed on all monitors, or only
the first monitor in the alarm row.
5. For equal priority alarms, the administrator can configure the order behavior:
– Last-in-First-out (LIFO) mode: in this configuration, new alarms are inserted above
older alarms of the same priority.
– First-in-First-out (FIFO) mode; in this configuration, new alarms are inserted below
older alarms of the same priority.
6. An alarm's Image row can appear in the Alarm Image window in one of two ways:
– When it is generated (auto pop-up). This occurs when the alarm priority is higher
than display priority.
– When the alarm is accepted. This occurs when the alarm priority is lower than
display priority.
Auto pop-up alarms
Alarms can be configured to automatically display (pop up) in the Alarm Image window,
based on the alarm priority. Each user group's live and playback displays are also assigned
priorities. When alarms are received with priority higher than that of the user's display, the
alarm automatically displays its alarm row in the Alarm Image window. If the Alarm Image
window is not currently displayed, it automatically replaces the Live or Playback Image
window on the alarm-enabled monitor.
Although auto pop-up alarms are displayed in the Alarm Image window, they are not
automatically accepted. They can be displayed on multiple users' displays simultaneously.
When a user accepts an auto pop-up alarm, it is removed from all other users Alarm Lists
and alarm displays.
Alarm handling in case of shutdown
On a server shutdown all active alarms are preserved. The alarms are restored and reappear
in the Alarm List window, when the system restarts.
Alarms in the state Accepted or Workflow are automatically set back to the state Active
when the system restarts. Comments entered for alarms in the state Workflow are
preserved.
Notice!
i The alarm data is automatically saved every minute, so the maximum data loss is the data
accumulated in one minute.

Transcoding
For transcoding, the VRM must be equipped with at least one transcoding device. This
transcoding device is not configured in BVMS. See the VRM documentation on how to
configure a transcoding device. Transcoding devices can have multiple transcoding
instances.
DIVAR IP 3000 and DIVAR IP 7000 are delivered each with one preconfigured transcoding
instance.
Each live stream or recording needs an own transcoding instance.
Transcoding is possible only for Video IP devices from Bosch connected to VRM.
Both, camera and transcoding device must be managed by the same VRM.
To select the preferred transcoding device, use the Options dialog box.
To enable transcoding:
1. In the Logical Tree, right-click the desired camera, point to Preferred stream, and then
click to enable Transcoding.
2. Display the camera in an Image pane.
ð This camera shows transcoded video.
Notice!
You can also enable or disable transcoding in an Image pane directly:
i Right-click the item, point to Select stream, and then click the desired menu command.
This setting only affects the selected Image pane.
This command does not affect the setting for the preferred stream in the Logical Tree.

Text Data dialog box
The operator can search for text data to find the corresponding recordings. The text data
must be stored in the Logbook.
Text data is delivered by systems like foyer card readers, automatic teller machines, virtual
inputs, LPR devices and Person Identification devices. Text data contains textual transaction
data like account numbers, bank routing codes, person names or license plate countries.
Text data of a device is recorded together with the corresponding video data.
Limitations
For searching recordings with text data, the text data must be configured to be stored in the
Logbook.
The encoder for which you configure the recording text data function, must have firmware
version 5.92 or later.
The text data of maximum 32 different devices can be recorded synchronously for one
camera.
Maximum 3000 bytes of text data can be stored on an encoder per event.
If you see problems with Logbook searches, display of additional data, or CSV exports of
Logbook search results, the reason can be that the additional text data contains non-
printable characters, for example x00-x1F.
