CHAPTER 1  
Introduction  
Digital video recorder for security applications  
The Divar is a video recording system that can record multiple camera signals  
while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and playback. It  
combines the functionality of a digital recorder with a multiplexer and a  
switcher.  
The unit has comprehensive search (including a smart motion search) and  
playback facilities for viewing stored video. Once set up, all recording takes  
place in the background without requiring operator intervention. Maximum  
recording rates of 60 (NTSC) and 50 (PAL) images per second in total are  
guaranteed with unsynchronized cameras. The recording rate and quality are  
selectable per camera.  
All models have extensive alarm handling functions and telemetry control.  
Alarm functions include motion detection in user-definable areas of the image  
on any camera input.  
The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the front panel control  
keys and on-screen display menu system. One monitor output provides full-  
screen, quad and multiscreen viewing; another spot/alarm monitoring. A  
keyboard can be connected for PTZ control and to improve the ease-of-use.  
Via a network, the Control Center PC-application can be used for live viewing,  
playback and configuration. Six simultaneous users can control multiple Divars.  
The Divar includes an authenticity check for both local and remote playback. A  
dedicated PC player is provided for playback of secure video files. Additionally,

please skip these instructions.  
ATM/POS transaction data can be recorded and viewed if the Divar is  
connected to an ATM or POS device via an ATM/POS bridge unit and has a  
license installed.  
Features  
Looping auto-terminating video inputs, video outputs, alarm inputs and outputs,  
and remote control connectors are on the rear panel. The two monitor outputs  
provide CVBS video signals in either NTSC or PAL. Monitor A displays full-  
screen or multiscreen digital pictures that can be frozen and zoomed. Monitor B  
displays live full-screen pictures.  
The Divar has the following features:  
6, 9 or 16 looped-through, auto-terminating camera inputs (with embedded  
Bilinx communication facilities***).

Triggers and alarms  
Various types of events can change the way the unit works. These events can be:  
Background events  
Triggers and alarms can change background tasks that you, as user, may not  
even notice. Unit responses that are not visible to the user are, for example, a  
change in recording speed, the activation of the output relay and event logging.  
The unit can also be configured to record and automatically protect video clips  
upon the activation of an alarm input. A trigger may change the way the camera  
images are displayed on the monitors without requiring your intervention.  
An alarm input signal applied to the unit.  
Motion detection in a camera signal.  
A loss of video from one of the cameras.  
An internal alert from the unit itself.  
The way the unit reacts to events depends on how it has been programmed.  
An event can cause either a trigger or an alarm. A trigger can change the way  
the unit works but does not require a response from the user. An alarm can also  
change the way the unit works but, in addition, it usually activates several  
indicators and requires that the user acknowledges the alarm situation.  
The unit can react to an event in any one of the following ways:  
Alarms  
A beeper sounds  
A status message is displayed  
An alarm icon is displayed.  
The border around a cameo can change color  
An alarm indicator  
The indicator flashes

CHAPTER 4  
Hardware setup  
This chapter contains detailed information about the connection of external  
equipment to the unit. The connector types and their pin signals are described.  
All the connectors are located at the rear panel of the unit.  
Bosch Security Systems  
Divar | Installation Manual | Hardware setup  
EN | 4-2  
Rack mounting  
Camera connections  
Connect cameras to the unit using 75-ohm video coaxial cables with BNC  
connectors. There are two BNC connectors for each camera. Either connector  
can receive a camera's signal. This signal is looped-through (directly connected)  
to the other connector, so that you can send the camera's signal to other  
equipment. The camera input connectors are auto-terminating, so you do not  
need to add a terminator to the output connector if no additional equipment is  
connected.  
The Divar can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. A rack mounting kit is supplied  
with the unit that includes:  
left and right rack mount ears  
four Torx screws with integrated lock washers.  
a Torx screwdriver  
Mounting  
If the camera signal is looped-through to additional equipment, make sure that  
the end of the video line is terminated with a 75-ohm termination.  
1. Remove the four Torx screws (two on each side) located near the front panel  
on the right and left side of the housing.  
The Divar automatically configures itself as a PAL or NTSC unit. The unit  
determines the standard by detecting the signal format of the first connected  
camera (lowest camera input number).  
2. Attach the mounting ears to each side ensuring that the lip is under the unit.  
Use the four Torx screws with lock washers and tighten securely.  
Cameras that support the Bilinx communications standard can be directly  
connected to the BNC connectors if your Divar version is Bilinx-enabled.  
If Bilinx cameras are looped-through to multiple Divars, only one Divar is  
allowed to have Bilinx enabled!  
Specification  
Input signal:  
Composite video 1Vpp, 75 Ohm

Gain control:  
When installing the assembly into the rack, be careful not to restrict airflow  
around the vent holes located in the side panels or to exceed the recommended

Monitor connections  
Console port connection  
Connect the unit to the monitors using 75-ohm video coaxial cables with BNC  
connectors. The unit provides a 1Vpp CVBS signal.  
The serial RS232 console port connector is used to connect a PC to the unit for  
configuration or service purposes. Use a null-modem cable to connect the serial  
port of the PC to the unit. The Baud rate can be selected in the menu system.  
If the monitor has a loop-through connection and you are not using the loop-  
through output, then select the 75-ohm impedance setting on the monitor. If the  
monitor's loop-through output is connected to an additional device, the device's  
termination is set to 75 ohms and the monitor's termination is set to high  
impedance. (Note that this is not necessary on devices with automatic  
termination.)  
The serial RS232 console port connector is also used to connect Bosch D9000  
series control panels via an interface unit for Divar alarm activation. Alarm  
input mapping can be set up in the menu system.

CHAPTER 5  
Menu system  
You access all the parameters used to set up the unit via the menu system. The  
large number of parameters available gives you the opportunity to program an  
extensive functionality.  
There are two ways of accessing the menu system, via the keys on the front of  
the unit itself or via the PC-based Configuration Tool application. Using the  
keys on the unit has the advantage of not requiring a PC and is the  
recommended method if you are using the unit in a stand-alone configuration. If  
you do have a PC connected to the unit or the unit is used in a network  
environment, then the Configuration Tool offers a more convenient way of  
accessing and using the menu.  
In both cases the parameters available are the same. Slight differences in  
navigation and selection are only due to the differences between the keys on the  
unit and the keyboard and mouse interface of the PC. The menu structure is the  
same in both cases.  
This chapter explains how to use the keys on the unit to access the menus. It also  
documents the full structure of the menu system. To find out how to use the PC-  
based Configuration Tool refer to Chapter 6.  
Bosch Security Systems  
Divar | Installation Manual | Menu system  
EN | 5-2  
Overview of the menu system  
The main menu consists of six menu groups:  
A profile determines how a unit behaves when that profile is active. Unit  
behavior includes how events are handled. It also defines recording rates both  
under normal conditions and in response to input and motion events.  
History. The History menu allows you to trace all events that have occurred on  
the unit.  
Unit behavior can be set up differently for each of the six profiles. Profiles can  
be named and copied to facilitate their setup and management.  
Disk manager. The Disk Manager menu provides information and functions  
that relate to the maintenance of the storage system including internal and  
external hard disks.  
Accessing the menu from the unit  
Time/Date. The Time/Date menu is used to set the actual reference time and  
date for the unit and the format that is used to display them.  
To open the menu:  
1. Press the ALT key  
to enter the alternate function mode.  
> The ALT indicator lights.  
View settings. The View Settings menu is used to program how the individual  
cameras are displayed on the monitors.  
2. Press the menu key.  
> The main menu appears full-screen on monitor A.  
System settings. The System Settings menu is where most of the static  
parameters for the unit are set.  
Navigating  
Use the arrow keys to move through a menu or list.  
Profiles. The Profiles menu is used to set up and store the dynamic  
characteristics of the unit.  
Use the select key  
Use the escape key  
to select a submenu or item.  
to go back.  
Setting the dynamic characteristics  
Access to some menu items can be password protected.  
The settings in the Profiles menu provide the opportunity to tap the powerful  
functionality of the unit. By spending some time in planning and setting up the  
six profiles available, you can provide efficient use of resources while  
maintaining effective cover for most types of working situations.  
Profiles are usually based on a calendar, switching on and off at a particular date  
or time (for example, weekends or night). Profiles can also be switched by an  
input signal based on an external switch or armed alarm system.

CHAPTER 6  
Using the  
Configuration Tool  
The Configuration Tool is a software application that makes the installation and  
configuration of a unit faster and easier. The Configuration Tool runs on a PC  
that is connected to the Divar either directly via an RS232 serial connection or  
via an Ethernet network connection.  
Although all settings can also be configured with the on-screen display menu of  
the Divar itself, the Configuration Tool offers a very user-friendly alternative. It  
also allows configuration settings to be saved on the PC hard disk. These can be  
restored later and used to configure other units.  
Bosch Security Systems  
Divar | Installation Manual | Using the Configuration Tool

Login  
Maximum number of users  
If the maximum number of users for the Control Center is exceeded, a window  
is displayed. An administrator can use this window to force off a user. The list  
shows all users that are currently logged in.

(Click Cancel to discontinue login and exit the application.)  
To disconnect a user:  
1. Select a user in the list.  
2. Click Yes.  
Menu structure differences  
The Configuration Tool allows you to access and use menu items of the unit.  
These menu items are explained in Chapter 5. Although the items are the same,  
the menu structure is slightly different in the Configuration Tool:  
The History menu item is removed from the menu tree structure and is now  
accessed via the History button.  
The Disk manager submenu is replaced by the Storage setup item of the  
menu tree structure in the Configuration Tool.  
To control a particular Divar:  
1. Select the Divars you want to control by placing check marks next to them.  
As a result of the windows interface, selection and editing of some functions with  
the Configuration Tool is different to the methods used on the unit itself. For  
example, scroll bars are used instead of the arrow keys, the motion area  
selection interface is simpler, and the Calendar edit item of the Profiles menu  
uses a color code to add profiles to the calendar. The Configuration Tool  
interface, although different, is intuitive and does not change the functionality of  
the menu items.  
> Click  
to either select all or none of the Divars listed.  
> If a login group has been defined, you can select this group to log in to the Divars  
listed in the group.  
2. Type your user name and password.  
> The user name and password to be filled-in are set in the System settings/  
Connectivity/Network access menu of the Divar itself. Check with your  
administrator if you do not have access to the unit.  
> To let the system remember your name and password on subsequent uses of the  
Control Center, place a check mark in the Save login information box.
