At IFSEC 2008, Bosch Security Systems demonstrated its total security solutions capability with its complete range of proven, reliable CCTV, intruder and communications technologies. From its Intruder range, Bosch displayed its new Professional Series detector which uses Bosch's innovative Sensor Data Fusion technology to integrate and process data from up to five different internal sensors, with the ability to adjust sensitivities for the most intelligent and accurate alarm decisions ever. Active white light suppression eliminates false alarms from white light such as car headlights, and it also features Multi-Point Anti-Mask with Spray Detect technology, which is compliant with all of the latest international regulatory standards for detection of objects covering or placed in front of the detector. Easy Series wLSN for smaller commercial sites and residential premises will also be exhibited. 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. During the course of IFSEC, Bosch Security Systems held a series of seminar sessions entitled ‘Beyond the NVR - a look at the next generation of IP surveillance technologies' given by Dr Bob Banerjee, Product Marketing Manager for IP video products in North America.
During the seminars, Dr. Banerjee provided his perspective on several topics, including the benefits of open systems; the most effective architectures for typical IP video surveillance installations; and important aspects of the demo, spec and quote cycle for these solutions.
These interactive sessions shed light on the advantages and drawbacks of each type of technology used for digital video recording and the factors to keep in mind when installing or upgrading a surveillance solution. |
