IP Video Compatibility Zone interactive website

The Bosch Security Systems interactive website details the IP video devices, firmware versions and features supported by a variety of software offerings from Bosch and other suppliers. The IP Video Compatibility Zone provides users with the information they need to design surveillance systems using CCTV products that integrate seamlessly.

The site identifies products and features - such as tamper detection, streaming capabilities and alarm notifications - that are supported by 12 head-end systems from Bosch and third-party suppliers. Users can select multiple products and systems at once, allowing them to compare compatibility across a customised set of suppliers and devices.

Two planning tools are also provided on the site. The firmware compatibility matrix identifies the firmware versions that are suitable for Bosch IP cameras, encoders, digital video recorders and software. The encoder-decoder compatibility chart outlines compatibility between camera/encoder configurations and decoders for both H.264 and MPEG-4 compression.

Users can download the firmware and encoder-decoder compatibility charts for offline reference. The website is accessed by visiting http://compatibility.boschsecurity.com.
