Latin America. The manufacturer Bosch has among its catalog of solutions a powerful alternative that provides countless benefits that allow, among other things, the embedded analytics applied to both thermal images and optical images of its two integrated sensors.
To learn a little more about the solution, Andres Varela, product specialist engineer in Video Surveillance Systems from Bosch, gives us some details that weigh the benefits of the product.
1. What makes the MIC Fusion 9000 special in terms of hardware and software?
R/ It is a revolutionary camera in the market and in its product segment. It is a camera that has all the power of Bosch embedded analytics applied to both thermal imaging and optical images from its two integrated sensors.
The camera allows to use the analytics generated based on the thermal image and merge them with the optical image to give the operator of technological means a more accurate approximation of the environment and the events that occur in critical places that can be affected by adverse weather conditions or by external agents such as fog or smoke.
2. What are the advantages and applications of using this camera instead of the traditional ones on the market?
R/ Have with a single camera access to embedded video analytics operating based on two sensors, one thermal and one optical. There are more than 12 analytical tasks, of which 8 tasks can be executed simultaneously on each preset of the camera. The thermal sensor will allow the use of analytics and detect threats at greater distances compared to conventional optical sensor cameras.
3. What vertical markets is this camera ideal for?
R/ The camera is focused to operate in harsh environments and in applications to protect critical infrastructure. Places such as seaports, airports, tunnels, roads and perimeters of industrial and power generation plants will benefit from the benefits of this new product.
4. What are your integration capabilities?
R/ Thanks to the Bosch Partner Program Integration, all the cameras that Bosch launches on the market are natively integrated with the most important VMS platforms on the market, which allows that, at the time of their launch to the market, all users of VMS systems can acquire them and integrate them without compatibility complications.
5. What cost/benefit ratio can the end user perceive by having a Bosch Fusion 9000 MIC camera?
R/ Have the certainty of guaranteeing protection and effective response to threats under critical and unconventional environments and situations.
6. In what other markets can this camera be given a functionality other than perimeter surveillance in long-range locations, applications in airports, ports of embarkation and disembarkation, tunnels, and critical infrastructures?
R/ Thanks to the homologation and design of the camera according to European and American standards, the camera can be applied to operate in railway facilities, as well as being on board vehicles and boats. There are success stories of the MIC series of cameras operating on police vehicles that are at risk of vandalism during their operation and maneuvers.
