Video Content Analysis (VCA)

Note: This section of the manual provides an overview of the fields and the options for each
field on the page VCA. This section is not a complete tutorial of setting up VCA. For more
information, refer to the separate manual Video Content Analysis (VCA), available on the
product page for Intelligent Video Analytics. Access the product page on the online product
catalog from http://www.boschsecurity.com/corporate/product-catalog/index.html.
Note: If there is not enough computing power, priority is given to live images and recordings.
This can lead to impairment of the VCA system. Observe the processor load and optimize the
encoder settings or the VCA settings if necessary, or turn off VCA completely.
Help for VCA settings
A separate Help file provides information about configuring for the VCA settings.
Note: Full VCA configuration and Help is only available on the web browser when MPEG
ActiveX software from Bosch is installed on your computer. MPEG ActiveX software is available
from the Bosch Security Systems DownloadStore (https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com/)

Do not use any special characters, for example &, in the name. Special characters are not
supported by the system's internal management.
The default option is Profile #1.
If you select the option Silent VCA, then the system creates metadata to facilitate searches of
recordings but no alarm is triggered. You cannot change any parameters for this configuration.
If you want to turn off VCA, then select Off.
If necessary, click the button Default to return all settings to their default values. A dialog box
appears with the message, "Configuration of the video content analysis (VCA) will be reset
to factory defaults. The changes will be lost. Click 'OK' to continue." Click OK to
acknowledge the message, or click Cancel.
Alarm status
The alarm status is displayed here for information purposes. This means you can check the
effects of your settings immediately.
Aggregation time [s]
Set an aggregation time of between 0 and 20 seconds. The aggregation time always starts
when an alarm event occurs. It extends the alarm event by the value set. This prevents alarm
events that occur in quick succession from triggering several alarms and successive events in a
rapid sequence. No further alarm is triggered during the aggregation time.
The post-alarm time set for alarm recordings only starts once the aggregation time has
expired.
