Bosch cameras with built-in video analytics offer a broad menu of analytic functions to detect possible perimeter breaches, including line crossing, area breaching, and loitering. They enable long-distance intrusion detection, even in extreme weather conditions, making them ideal for perimeter protection at energy and utility sites. Integration with communications technology enables automated audio intervention to alert intruders that their actions are being recorded to prevent further damage or theft.

When a shooter fires into a critical asset’s perimeter, and the gunshot is detected, the nearest Bosch MIC series pan-tilt-zoom camera will focus its field of view on the location within seconds to capture video of and track the shooter. Sniper detection technology from Mil-Com Security Solutions is natively integrated with MIC series pan-tilt-zoom cameras to locate and track shooters, providing real-time detection and identification of a gunshot source on or around energy or utility facilities.

Drones pose a danger for energy and utility sites and can cause costly disruptions, safety incidents, and potential security breaches. At the same time, the risk of a drone incident is increasing due to the growing number of remote-controlled drones for private use, including video-equipped aerial vehicles. Operators need a visual perspective to assess a threat and determine whether a drone may be carrying cameras or even explosives.

Bosch video sensors installed along perimeter fences integrate seamlessly with radar technology from Echodyne. When radar is triggered, the software relays the coordinates to the closest security camera, which confirms whether the object is a drone and tracks its course.
