At IFSEC 2007, Bosch Security Systems demonstrated its total security solutions capability with its complete range of proven, reliable CCTV, intruder and communications technologies. Seen for the first time in the UK was its AutoDome modular camera system, a new series of IP-enabled dome cameras comprising intelligent, interchangeable modules that enable installers to update camera functionality quickly and cost-effectively, whilst allowing end-users to migrate to more advanced technologies in the future without having the associated costs of replacing the entire dome. The AutoDome range is based on five interchangeable modules: the CPU, camera, housing, communications, and power supply. The flexibility is such that a ‘core' product can be upgraded or adapted as needs change and the design is such that cameras can be moved between different housings when special coverage is needed, or as site plan requirements change, quickly and safely and without removing the power. From its Intruder range was the Professional Series intrusion detectors with a two-piece self-locking enclosure, built in two-way bubble level and a flexible mounting height. These new detectors not only save installation time but they also benefit from exclusive data fusion technology, which ensure that the detector sends alarm conditions based on precise information. Sensor data fusion technology is a unique feature that uses a sophisticated internal microcontroller to gather signals from four sensors: two pyroelectric sensors, a room temperature sensor, and a light level sensor. The microcontroller analyses and compares the sensor data to make the most intelligent alarm decisions in the security industry. The sensor's tri-focus optics technology uses optics with three specific focal lengths (long range coverage, middle range coverage and short-range coverage) to eliminate coverage gaps and respond efficiently to intruders. Whilst the Professional series is ideal for commercial and indoor industrial applications, Bosch also exhibited its Easy Series wLSN for smaller commercial sites, and indeed residential premises. The Bosch wLSN is a revolutionary two-way 868MHz narrow band communications technology that ensures every status message or alarm signal sent by each device is received and acknowledged by the control panel providing greater security, reliability and convenience than existing wireless technologies. The wLSN communications protocol uses encryption to secure the data being transmitted and prevent "replay" attacks. Synchronous communications prevents two devices from communicating information simultaneously and during periods of inactivity the devices enter a ‘sleep mode', which results in an extended battery life. Within its PA/VA portfolio, Bosch was also exhibiting its trusted Praesideo system. It is the world's first fully digital public address and emergency sound system and was developed for the purpose of broadcasting information and entertainment and also for voice evacuation in emergency situations. It offers flexibility with system configuration, it's simple to install and offers high audio quality. The Praesideo system is designed to be fully compliant to the relevant international and national standards for voice evacuation and it is the first product in the market to receive full independent certification by the TUV organisation for IEC60849. |
