Bosch Security Systems has delivered an integrated security solution for “The Star”, an iconic multi-purpose building in Singapore. Located right in the central Buona Vista area, “The Star” is a new architectural landmark and combines an upscale shopping center with more than 100 shops and restaurants, called the Star Vista, and a cultural zone named the Star Performing Arts Center. The Star Vista occupies the lower 6 levels of the building, while the Star Performing Arts Center with its impressive 5,000 seat auditorium is located on the upper nine floors.
Designing a security environment for “The Star” was a real challenge. A shopping center with its public places and more than 100 individually operated shops has much different requirements than an events complex with a huge theater and a large multi-purpose hall. Furthermore, the Star Vista and the Star Performing Arts Center are owned and operated by two individual companies, which strived for an integrated solution securing the entire development.
The local Bosch partner InfoCom & Security Systems Pte Ltd therefore designed a very modular security system based on standard network technologies. Thus, they were able to exactly meet the different needs of individual zones of the building while seamlessly combining all these local solutions into one integrated and centrally managed system.
The security solution includes Bosch's video surveillance, PA and access control systems. IP-based Bosch FlexiDome and Auto-dome cameras throughout the building are managed and operated through the Bosch VMS. The video solution offers decentralized recording and Intelligent Video Analysis from Bosch for very efficient operations.
