Bosch Building Technologies: Perimeter Security Revolutionized
The need for reliable and effective perimeter security has never been more critical. As threats become more advanced, they become more challenging to prevent, and security integrators are turning to AI-enabled approaches over traditional surveillance systems to enhance their perimeter security measures.
Traditional outdoor surveillance systems are often plagued by false alarms, which can overwhelm security personnel and lead to complacency over time. However, intelligent outdoor cameras equipped with AI technology are designed to filter out false triggers, ensuring that security teams are only alerted to genuine security threats. By minimizing false alarms, these cameras enable security personnel to maintain a high level of vigilance and responsiveness, ultimately enhancing the overall security of the facility.
The Bosch DINION 7100i IR cameras equipped with Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro) are ideal for high-security applications that demand long-range intrusion detection and classification especially alongside perimeters of government buildings, data centers, energy facilities, and airports. The cameras deliver clear and detailed images over vast distances in all lighting conditions and weather, thanks to the built-in IVA Pro “Perimeter”, exceptional imaging, and robust design.
Early detection gives operators more time to respond
IVA Pro Perimeter is specifically designed for perimeter security to differentiate between genuine threats and unwanted alarms, elevating reliability and effectiveness. The software can recognize a wide range of intruders, including those who may attempt to evade detection by rolling, crawling, or camouflaging themselves. It is highly sensitive to motion and can quickly and accurately identify and alert security personnel to the presence of unauthorized individuals near the perimeter while minimizing false triggers. IVA Pro Perimeter delivers enhanced situational awareness of tracked objects with real-time geolocation, object type, speed, and size. It can automatically trigger IVA-based Intelligent Tracking to keep objects in focus. This advanced capability helps users understand scenes and situations with more granularity while facilitating a quick and appropriate response. Early detection allows security teams to proactively address potential threats before they escalate, ultimately enhancing the overall security of the facility.
Edge-based AI allows for the immediate activation of pre-recorded messages through camera detection. Audio responses can be implemented automatically or triggered remotely by personnel
Cover the distance day or night in all conditions
Providing clear and accurate footage in all conditions is another important factor in perimeter detection. Since perimeters often cover extended distances, watching over an area for intrusion and loitering around the clock is essential. The DINION 7100i IR cameras capture objects in low-light and zero-lux environments. Starlight X technology captures color detail down to 0.0061 lux. Built-in IR allows the cameras to see in total darkness up to 160 meters (524 feet) to capture maximum detail. HDR X technology uses lens sensors that optimize motion and eliminate blur and artefacts caused by moving objects. Electronic image stabilization (EIS) automatically corrects motion caused by wind or vibration to maintain a steady, high-quality image.
A robust housing adds to the stability and high-performance of the cameras, and the three-step installation concept saves installers valuable time. The DINION 7100i can handle whatever life throws at them. From the harshest weather to corrosive salt water or high impacts (IK10+ and IP68 rated), the cameras are built to keep on working no matter what. That includes also delivering exceptional image quality in the most challenging light conditions, around the clock. The DINION 7100i IR’s robust design resists shocks, vibration, and corrosion, which minimizes replacement costs and saves money. This level of reliability is crucial for perimeter security, as it allows security teams to monitor and respond to potential threats in real time without being hindered by environmental factors. Operators can use the footage for real-time analytics or forensic search. And fewer cameras are needed to cover a large installation area, which also results in savings.
Minimizing interruptions
One of the challenges with using analytics is calibration of the camera. The DINION 7100i IR automatically calibrates to support faster and easier installation. IVA Pro Perimeter includes an intuitive map-based calibration tool when long-range perimeter detection, object tracking, and filtering according to vehicle size and speed is desired. Once connected to the cloud, the cameras can also be maintained, configured, and managed remotely, reducing costs, travel, and CO2 emissions related to on-site visits.
Tailored to individual needs
A successful AI-enabled perimeter security system should deliver valuable insights for greater security, safety, and efficiency. Integrators can choose from a menu of application-specific AI to tailor solutions for their customers. IVA Pro Perimeter and IVA Pro Buildings come pre-installed in the DINION 7100i IR cameras. Other IVA Pro software can be licensed to enhance traffic, tracking, and more, allowing integrators to adapt the packages to customer requirements. All deliver highly accurate data, are easy to use, are future-proof, and integrate seamlessly with various video management systems, providing the right tools to safeguard facilities. These cameras are certified to UL 2900-2-3 Level 2 and IEC 62443-4-1 cybersecurity standards.
Bosch Building Technologies will be presenting the new AI-based cameras from September 17 to 20 at the Security trade fair in Essen at the XORTEC stand in Hall 5, Stand C33. The trade fair team is looking forward to demonstrate the reliable and precise classification of objects using Intelligent Video Analytics – IVA Pro.
