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,

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

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
Embedded Bilinx command protocol (Divar Bilinx only).
PAL/NTSC, auto-detect.
3. Install the unit into the rack using the rack manufacturer’s supplied hardware.
Color standard:
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
operating temperature.
Automatic or manual gain control for each video input.
BNC looped-through, automatic termination.

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.

switch for security reasons. This means that the unit is always powered as long as
the power cable is connected from the unit to a live power socket.
In Live mode, select full-screen display for each camera and check the picture
quality. If the quality is poor, check:
•
•
•
The BNC connections.
Loop-through terminations.

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.

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.

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

How to Log in
When you start the Configuration Tool as a stand-alone application via a
network, the Login window appears. (Click Cancel to discontinue login and exit
the application.)
To automatically detect all enabled Divars on the network:
1. Click Detect.
> To detect a Divar, Discovery must be enabled on that Divar.
2. Select a Divar and click OK to add the selected Divar to the list.
To add a Divar to the list:
1. Click Add.
2. Enter the IP address or nickname of the new Divar.
When the Configuration Tool application is started for the first time, the Divar
list is empty. You must first add a Divar to the list. To add a Divar to the list or to
modify a Divar entry, click Edit >> (see following paragraph).
> The IP address to be filled-in is set in the System settings/Connectivity/Network

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.
When you start the Configuration tool application, the Login window appears.
(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.
3. Click Login.
