As Bosch pushes the technology boundaries, they have developed intelligent solutions that surpass today’s security demands while delivering clear business advantages other than security. Also, these products allow you to directly interpret video data from the source hence you’ll substantially improve your security levels for clear business advantages.

empowering you to secure your environment

With the aim of protecting lives, assets, and buildings, the Bosch product portfolio includes intrusion detection, video surveillance, fire detection, voice evacuation systems, and access management &control systems. Additionally, you'll get professional conference and audio communication systems for communication of sound, music, and voice.

Video security

Just like the security of people and property, the security of your surveillance data is equally important. Today, Video security data has increasingly become connected across global and local networks. An increasing number of cutting-edge components (like cameras) share their data to the core components (like servers) via the Internet, where hackers and digital intruders loom.

Covering all elements of video security infrastructure

Since video data is highly sensitive and critical, Bosch uses a systematic approach in order to increase data security by simultaneously considering cybersecurity and physical safety. Bosch uses a system approach that is central to achieving the highest possible standards of end-to-end data security and it’s done by:

• Creating trust by assigning each network component an authentication key.
• Securing data from hackers through encryption at hardware levels, using cryptographic keys that are stored safely in a built-in unique Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
• Offering easy ways of managing user access rights to ensure that only authorized individuals can your data.
• Bosch supports your set-up of the Public Key Infrastructure.

So what about the unused data?

it will be more beneficial is the captured video data can do more for your business than security alone. Since the in-built video analytics are standard, you will be able to directly interpret data at the source, then re-assign it to assist you in making smarter business decisions. This covers anything from lowering utility bills, monitoring the presence, identifying customer activity patterns to improve your sales by spotting ‘hot spots’ in the retail environments. Even determining ‘roadblocks' to maximise shop layout for increased customer satisfaction.

Smarter video systems

Video analytics are an enabler for any strategy by substantially improving levels of security, and offering useful business insights beyond security. This acts as the security system 'brains', using the metadata to increase structure and sense to captured footage. Effectively, each network camera becomes smart, allowing you to understand what you see and alerting guards or police in case of potential threats once the alarm goes off. This serves to increase security levels.

You can also decide the information to stream thus reducing network strain. Since cameras will provide all sorts of statistics in the form of metadata, those featuring in-built video analytics can enable the analysis of a scene for reasons that are beyond security. This allows you to make smarter business decisions, lower costs and enhance efficiency with returns on investment which are measurable by tangible business results.

the new standard in business security

Bosch believes that each business should make the most of the advanced technology available today- without the additional license fees or investment costs. For this reason, most of Bosch cameras now have standard onboard video analytics. And since each business is different, the analytics solutions can be customised to meet your business needs.

Also, analytics may be used to make sure that no person enters or leaves your retail shop via the emergency exit. These cameras can even trigger an alarm if the emergency exit gets blocked by any object – enhancing the safety of your employees and customers.

Intelligent data management

The best intelligent solutions which surpass most security demands today yet offer a business advantage other than security are developed on excellence for data management and video security. Since the data amounts keep increasing each day, rapid technological advances are pushing the surveillance industry into a domain of Big Data. Excellent dynamic ranges, higher resolutions, better light sensitivity, and higher frame rates are vital in capturing images that will distinguish objects or individuals for irrefutable evidence - regardless of the time of night or day. The increased data should be managed efficiently, along with the maintenance, service, and management costs which are linked to it, without compromising the quality of images or making it irrelevant.

H.265 encoding

The Bosch cameras that have the Intelligent Noise Reduction and streaming features together with H.265 video encoding are able to reduce bitrates to about 80% based on the scene. Bosch bitrate management techniques can help you to significantly lower the storage costs, and reduce network strain through the use of bandwidth when it is needed.

Easy and Reliable video data management

Your business security operation should be running at all times and this means large video data volumes can be difficult to process and hard to manage. VRM(Video Recording Manager) makes large data volumes to be managed easily with maximal reliability yet lowering costs. This enables the cameras to stream directly the relevant video data to the storage devices available without using network servers. This eliminates possible points of failure, saves costs, maintains the server, thereby increasing dependability.

Additionally, VRM lets you easily expand your security surveillance system by adding more cameras or the storage devices to cater for your business growth needs. The storage capacity available is utilised most efficiently since VRM balances automatically the video stream loads to suit the free-storage volumes. Little redundant storage is required and it’s easier to regard retention times with minimal risks of overwriting

Providing relevant images

if you aren't able to deliver the right data during an emergency or giving accurate evidence following a criminal act, then you need to rethink your security options. Bosch cameras provide the highest quality of images with resolutions of 4K ultra HD. There’s also the starlight technology for those low-light situations and for thermal solutions in early detection of poor lighting situations. Bosch innovative security solutions use advanced technology features to guarantee the highest quality of images.
