Energy & Utility

The Energy & Utility sector includes facilities for generating, transmitting, and distributing energy of all kinds. Gaps in security or safety can seriously threaten public health, environment, economy, and even national or global security. Security, safety and communication challenges may include:

Preventing possible terrorist attacks and vandalism
Dealing with fire and explosions in harsh environments
Evacuating in a timely and efficient manner
Detecting intrusion, sabotage and malicious attacks
Managing a wide variety of different access authorizations
Coping with different extreme environments and weather conditions
Enforce health and safety regulations
Monitor no-parking areas
Informing and protecting staff members even on remote sites

We offer a wide range of solutions that include perimeter security, gunshot detection, RF detection, vehicle access management, voice evacuation and data center security. Our specialized products include explosion protected day/night cameras and loudspeakers, infrared illuminators, thermal imaging, Intelligent Tracking, long distance cameras, 360 degree camera views, built-in intelligence, audio responses, voice alarm systems and more. With these products and solutions we help Critical Infastructures like Energy & Utility facilities and Data Centers to manage their security, safety and communication challenges even in remote or unmanned situations.

Our solutions for Energy & Utility

Perimeter Security

Perimeter Security offers a robust portfolio of analytic functions like line crossing, area breaching, object left behind and loitering due to a combination of moving, fixed, visual and thermal cameras. In addition, audio responses can be implemented automatically or triggered from remote personnel.

Technology integrated with partners like Siemens, G4S, Genetec and others work together with Bosch IP cameras to provide real-time detection and identification of any perimeter breaches.

Gunshot Detection

When a gun is fired and the gunshot detected, the nearest pan-tilt-zoom camera focuses its field of view on the location within seconds to capture images of the shooter and surroundings in full HD detail or thermal.

Gunshot Detection technology from Boomerang, ShotSpotter, and others can work in harmony with Bosch IP cameras to provide real-time detection and identification of a gunshot source on or around your facility.

Radio Frequency Detection

Radio Frequency (RF) Detection

Traditional video systems can be limited in effective coverage the farther away from an asset the object of interest is placed. This limits the detection distance or creates gaps in needed coverage areas with reference to guarding against theft, vandalism, and terrorism. We provide early detection and assessment which allow for more options for response and the ability to deter an event from happening.

What‘s more, integration of an RF Detection system to a perimeter solution enables the two systems to act as one solution where RF Detection can directly drive moving (PTZ) cameras.

Vehicle Access Management

Vehicle Access Management with License Plate Recognition (LPR)/Anti tailgating

Vehicle access management involves surveillance in varying degrees of situation and scale. Effective license plate recognition is crucial. Together with our partners, our solutions regulating traffic flow and managing authorized entry for each vehicle separately to keep a facility secure can be achieved with a high level of accuracy and with integration possibilities.

Restricted Security Area Surveillance

Enhanced perimeter security for restricted security areas

Our integrated Restricted Security Area (RSA) surveillance solution with Genetec enables your security team to detect potential threats across vast distances, with seamless monitoring across multiple technologies. The intuitive, geographical maps display live images of moving targets, so you can track and trace them over your security network. This take the guesswork out of recognizing potential threats, alerting operators so they can respond more efficiently, and in less time.

Critical Infrastructure portfolio

A combination of Bosch IP moving, fixed, low-light, and thermal cameras offer a range of analytic functions for perimeter protection, including line crossing, object left behind, loitering, and more.

MIC IP fusion 9000i

The MIC IP fusion 9000i camera is an advanced pan, tilt, zoom camera designed to provide early detection in mission-critical applications. With its dual visible/thermal imaging capabilities, the MIC IP fusion 9000i camera is the perfect solution for robust and high-quality imaging needs. The camera’s distinctive, ruggedized design is well-suited for extreme environments and adverse weather conditions such as high winds, rain, ice, and snow.

MIC IP starlight 7100i

The first camera of its kind to combine a rugged housing with 4K ultra HD resolution, with 12x zoom and optical image stabilization. It’s this ultra-high resolution, in a moving camera with full pan and tilt control that makes it ideally suited for mission-critical applications over sizable surveillance areas.

Cameras like the MIC IP also provide real-time detection and identification of any perimeter breaches 24/7.

FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i

Featuring image quality up to 4k ultra HD with starlight technology and built-in predictive analytics, the FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i is ideal for perimeter security solutions both in and around the facility, including vehicle access management.
