You provide security and comfort throughout your passengers’ entire journey

We push the boundaries of technology to develop intelligent video solutions that go beyond the highest security demands of today and deliver clear business advantages beyond security.

By re-purposing the data we can help airport customers to take smarter business decisions, reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve sales.

Bosch believes that smarter video solutions go beyond security.

Video analytics is an important enabler of any strategy to substantially improve levels of security, as well as offering clear business advantages beyond security. It acts as the 'brains' of a security system, using metadata to add sense and structure to captured video footage. In effect, each network video camera becomes smart, enabling them to understand what they're seeing and alerting guards to any potential threats the moment an alarm rule is met, significantly increasing security levels.

They can even decide which information to stream to reduce network strain. This is why we offer a fully intelligent portfolio with built-in video analytics as standard as of the IP 4000i cameras.

An IP-based access control system from Bosch is ideal for preventing unauthorized individuals from entering restricted areas such as airfields and aprons. It supports a large range of readers as well as biometric solutions to meet strict security requirements. Together with video surveillance, this makes it possible to capture and record all access events. Violations automatically trigger an alarm so immediate action can be taken to deal with the situation.

Airports also face the risk of burglaries with valuables, equipment, cargo, or personal items being stolen from restricted areas such as shops, luggage conveying systems, and cargo handling zones.

Bosch can help to handle these risks as well. Our intrusion systems monitor all doors, vehicle entrances, and perimeters for unauthorized persons. If a detector picks up a breach, a security operator is alerted that can use the Bosch Video Management System with high-resolution CCTV cameras and Intelligent Video Analysis to verify the alarm, activate an appropriate action plan, and support subsequent forensic searches.

High-quality public address and voice evacuation systems are essential for dealing with security and safety challenges. These allow localized and airport-wide gate calls and other announcements as well as integration with airline databases, gate management systems, etc.

Modular public address and emergency sound systems from Bosch are ideal for all of these applications. They can handle everything from routine announcements to emergency notifications – always with maximum reliability and speech intelligibility. The Praesideo digital public address and emergency sound system from Bosch is suitable for even the largest airports.

In order to protect lives and property at airports, it is vital to quickly detect, locate, verify and contain fires. Terminal halls pose special challenges: crowds, high ceilings, large open areas, and long distances to emergency escape routes.

Bosch modular fire panels and detectors are ideal for this and more. They apply multiple intelligent criteria to ensure early, reliable detection – with high immunity to false alarms – and fast responses. A large number of detectors can be connected in loops of up to 3000 m and networked to cover multiple buildings. The panels automatically notify the airport fire brigade, in addition to interfacing with sprinkler, ventilation, and public address systems as well as the Bosch Building Integration System (BIS) to fight fire events of all kinds and coordinate the evacuation of large groups of people.

With their direct links to other cities and countries, airports are becoming increasingly popular venues for conferences of all kinds. The Digital Congress Network (DCN) from Bosch is today’s leading conferencing solution:

– Interpreting facilities for simultaneous translation into up to 32 languages at once
– High-quality sound reproduction
– Choice of wired and/or wireless configurations for maximum flexibility and fast setup
– Recording of all statements and speeches

With all of the safety, security, communication and building automation systems that can be installed in an airport, it is a challenge to efficiently manage and coordinate them all.

The Building Integration System (BIS) from Bosch provides a single Web-based cockpit for monitoring all security, safety and building management systems. This includes alarm management, fast alarm pinpointing via location maps, and follow-up procedures. It also seamlessly integrates fire and intrusion alarms, as well as evacuation, access control, CCTV and building automation systems.

Use of the BIS lets a single operator monitor and control all security systems, in addition to enabling faster responses to emergencies and greater overall effectiveness.
