Every day, companies around the world collect massive amounts of data through their video systems. But studies show that a mere 10 percent of that data is ever used. Now, Bosch is taking the logical next step for the industry by offering built-in, advanced video analytics as a standard feature in its cameras beginning with its IP 4000 series and up. That means that companies can begin utilizing up to 100 percent of their video security data, and go beyond mere protection in order to gain real business advantages.

Bosch is taking the logical next step for the industry by offering built-in, advanced video analytics as a standard feature in its cameras beginning with its IP 4000 series and up. That means that companies can begin utilizing up to 100 percent of their video security data, and go beyond mere protection in order to gain real business advantages.
Now, Bosch customers will be capable of using metadata to add sense and structure to their video footage. This in turn enables your network video cameras to understand what they’re seeing and alert you to any potential threats the moment they happen. Each camera in effect becomes smart. Allowing you to retrieve the right footage from hours of stored video instantly, analyze the scene by providing all kinds of statistics (metadata) and take appropriate action faster, easier and more efficiently. Some potential advantages: monitoring the use of energy to slash utility bills; unearthing the so-called “hot spots” in a retail shop in order to better understand customer behavior and boost sales; and identifying problematic retail layouts that are hindering customer satisfaction. Bosch’s intelligent video analytics can also deliver high levels of accuracy for applications such as traffic monitoring (e.g., wrong-way detection, traffic counts and monitoring roadsides for parked cars). It is ideal for providing automatic object detection over large distances.
As every company that has used video security knows, effectively monitoring large areas and identifying objects at great distances can be a real challenge. It can also be difficult to capture detailed color images in low light, or to develop detailed images when there is a fluctuating front and back light. Bosch’s new rethinking of video security benefits from a longstanding commitment to capturing the highest quality images. To that end, Bosch cameras can deliver images with resolutions up to 4K ultra HD. That’s coupled with HDR and IAE for challenging lighting conditions, starlight technology, for lowlight situations, and thermal solutions for use in complete darkness or when visibility is disrupted due to smoke or foliage.
For extreme weather conditions, Bosch has developed the MIC IP series, rugged cameras built to absorb high impacts and perform in high winds, dust and temperatures as hot as 65 degrees Celsius. The cameras’ solid metal bodies and finish can protect against corrosion, even in conditions with 100 percent humidity.
Deploying top quality video systems can prove costly and strain the capacity of a company’s data network. Bosch understands that the amount of data being collected is getting larger every day, and so it has developed an ability to deliver the most efficient bitrates and the lowest storage requirements for a system — all without compromising image quality.
While it is vitally important to keep premises and people secure, protecting data is also a necessity. Bosch offers a four-step approach to end-to-end data security, for cameras, servers, storage devices and more. Here’s how it works: every component in a network is assigned an authentication key, all data is encrypted at the hardware level, and Bosch offers both easy-to-use authorized access rights and support for setting up a public key infrastructure to use and manage encryption.
Together, Bosch believes, we can rethink what video security can do.
