Security operators are often challenged to quickly and efficiently review and collect video footage for incidents. Bosch has released its Video Management System 7.5 software (BVMS 7.5), it empowers security operators to faster and more efficiently review video footage while increasing its openness for storage.

The BVMS 7.5 includes forensic search as a standard free-of-charge functionality, allowing operators to scan through huge recording databases for a specific event within seconds. The rules for the search are easily defined via a graphical user interface and can be changed even after an event. Further increased the openness of its system to allow for easy integration of third-party software and devices.

The communication between the Operator Client and other system components can also be exchanged through a single, secure and open channel, making it easier for system integrators to configure the system for remote secure access, using standard internet connections.

Following the announcement of Bosch’s collaboration with Sony, BVMS 7.5 is now compatible with the latest generation of Sony cameras and storage devices from third parties can be more easily connected. Furthermore, the OPC (Open Platform Communications) server has been expanded making it easier for Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) Systems to control the BVMS.
