Government Security Systems

Bosch video systems are installed in the highest level of federal government facilities, and select products have been confirmed for reliability and functionality through the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security test agencies.

All Bosch IP cameras are offered with artificial intelligence (AI) as a built-in standard. Their AI capabilities enable them to understand what they’re seeing and to add meaning to captured video with metadata. Machine learning technology enables tailoring the camera’s built-in Video Analytics to detect the things that matter most.

The cameras integrate seamlessly with Bosch products from across the portfolio as well as with command and control platforms to help make personnel more effective and efficient. Bosch video systems also integrate with solutions from our integration partners and are capable of operating in a Common Access Platform.

To ensure our solutions have the resilience to withstand even harsh environments, we have taken measures to develop extremely rugged cameras, like the MIC family, that are built to perform in practically any environment.

Our solutions for intrusion detection are field-proven for government environments, including buildings, facilities, and cleared sites. They are tested and approved for US Department of Homeland Security applications.

The control panels are designed to easily integrate with access control, IP video solutions, and more. With this integration, the control panel accepts alarms from various devices – such as motion detectors, security cameras and more – and uses those alarms to trigger system actions, such as sending a text message of an alarm with a video snapshot to authorized personnel. This integration delivers increased security and centralized control of security and video devices and doors, helping to reduce complexity for system users.

Ensuring the safety of personnel and assets is fundamental in government facilities. While it is essential for these buildings to remain accessible and welcoming to the public, as well as facilitating smooth flow for staff and visitors, it is equally critical to implement robust measures against unauthorized access. This delicate balance between openness and security necessitates advanced technology that provides both high-level protection and ease of access. Our Access Management System (AMS) is specifically designed to meet these demands, offering cutting-edge security features that safeguard government buildings while maintaining an inviting environment.

Moreover, it is possible to integrate a wide range of safety and security solutions into the system, creating a comprehensive approach to protecting both people and property.

Our Building Integration System (BIS) is a comprehensive software solution designed to manage various security subsystems—including access control, video surveillance, fire alarms, public address systems, and intrusion detection—on a single platform. This robust and reliable system is engineered for 24/7 deployment, making it ideal for government facilities that require constant vigilance and security. With over 3000 installations worldwide, BIS has proven its reliability, establishing itself as a flagship alarm management solution for critical environments.

The Bosch Communications Systems family of brands includes solutions for paging and mass notification, radio dispatch and aviation solutions, and annunciation and voice evacuation. They are tested and approved for Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security applications.

Highly flexible, they easily scale from medium to large sized environments. Integration with Bosch and third-party systems for video, and intrusion and fire detection enables automated audio announcements based on security and safety events and centralized control for easier operation.

Bosch also offers a range of highly secure and extremely versatile conference systems that meet needs that range from small local events to giant international summits, such as United Nations and NATO Conferences.

AVIOTEC video-based flame and smoke detection provides reliable and early notification in challenging spaces, including those with dust, dirt, and condensation, and in areas with volatile elements, such as chemicals or fuel, where immediate detection is critical. In environments with high ceilings, such as aircraft hangars and warehouses, smoke dilutes or can be blown away by airflow and ventilation systems before it reaches a ceiling detector. Bosch AVIOTEC detects fires where they start, enabling immediate alarm verification, speeding reaction times, and improving rescue response.

AVIOTEC cameras integrate with existing platforms and Bosch audio communications for immediate notification to personnel and visitors to a facility.

To support data-driven evidence investigation, the Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) consolidates and augments data from multiple sensors and provides intuitive alarm management and interactive maps. This enables operators to establish a decision center, giving them a single, clear dashboard for detecting, reviewing, and reacting to all security and safety related incidents, while using Bosch cameras built-in AI to provide the ability to identify unforeseen or unwanted situations faster.

BVMS is field-proven in U.S. federal government applications around the world. It is scalable to grow as needs changes – even across multiple locations – while keeping the same look and feel so that no further operator training is required. It offers integration with Bosch intrusion and communications systems, as well as with third-party cameras, encoders, and software, such as radar systems, to give operators one interface to receive and process alarms.

Compared to other systems, BVMS allows for maximum resilience. As a result, cameras keep recording and streaming live video even when multiple system components fail simultaneously. This robust system architecture enables personnel to respond to threats even in disaster scenarios.
