Always hand in hand with innovation and with a strong orientation to prevention, both in safety and in fire and evacuation, Bosch Security Systems participates once again in the SICUR fair showcasing the latest advances in total security and protection and PCI solutions.

The International Security Exhibition (SICUR 2012) has the presence of two stands of Bosch Security Systems; one located in the pavilion 8 (Fire) and another located in the pavilion 10 (Safety), where the firm is unveiling a wide variety of new developments, Betting on scalability, Reliability, durability and standardization in the industry.

One of the new features from Bosch Security Systems is the AutoDome HD Series camera 800 High-speed PTZ. The AutoDome Series 800 is an easy-to-install outdoor PTZ camera system, with HDTV video quality with 1080p and 720p resolution. Operates properly even in dusty and potentially humid environments. It offers a direct network connection with H.264 and JPEG compression and bandwidth tuning to efficiently manage all storage and streaming requirements, as well as a web configuration of all settings. 20x optical zoom and image format in 16:9 Expand the viewing area.

With 360º coverage, The cameras provide superior optical resolution and day/night functionality and provide users with high-definition images for outdoor locations. Provide the solution to the challenges posed by traffic and transport applications, Industrial Zones, Official Enclosures and Parking Areas.

A CMOS sensor 1/3 inch and progressive scan provides the user with 200x zoom (20x optical/10x digital) with HD images that make it easy to identify the small details of a scene such as facial features or license plates. The resolution of 720p at the speed of 60 Frames per second provides detailed and crisp video playback of moving objects. The resolution of 1080p at the speed of 30 Frames per second increases the level of detail of traditional cameras by six times, ensuring clear video even when users use digital zoom to extend the camera's range. In addition, The image format of 16:9 Increases area awareness by increasing the field of view, without affecting image quality.

AutoDome HD Series Cameras 800 include Intelligent Video Analytics (VAT), software that automatically processes video signals and alerts operators of potential security risks. Higher pixel density captured by cameras allows for extended VAT performance with better loitering detection, Access to perimeter fences and other potential threats.

With the quadruple video stream, AutoDome HD Series Cameras 800 They have simultaneous high-quality video streaming with settings of different frame rates and resolution to make the system design more flexible.
