Bosch Security Systems provides the security solution for one of the world’s largest
infrastructure projects: the South-North Water Transfer Project in China. Started in
the mid-1990s, the project aims to ensure sufficient water supply to areas including
the megacity of Beijing. A system of canals with a total length of 1,200 kilometres
diverts water from the Yangtze River in the south of the country to the North China
Plain. The water is channelled via a Western, a Central, and an Eastern Route. The
Eastern and Central Routes are already in operation.
Bosch supplied security technology to safeguard the Central Route, which involved
the installation of 3,000 video cameras. The cameras are used both indoors and
outdoors, securing the control centres in Beijing, Tianjin, Henan and Hebei as well
as monitoring sluices, dams and pipelines.
A key part of the Bosch security solution is Bosch AUTODOME IP starlight 7000
cameras. These network cameras produce HD video images – even in extreme low
light conditions – and identify fast-moving objects in 720p resolution with up to 60
frames per second. Thanks to Intelligent Tracking, the cameras can automatically
track moving objects based on predefined alarm rules – or via a simple click.
Bosch also installed access control systems for more than 1,000 doors in the main
and secondary control centres. The Access Modular Controller system can connect
up to eight ID card readers.
Additional security is provided by 30 type DS7400 intrusion detection panels. Due to
its modular design, this intrusion alarm system can easily be updated and adapted
to changing requirements.
Video surveillance, access control systems, and intrusion detection panels are all
integrated into a complete solution with the Bosch Building Integration System
(BIS), so all security systems can be controlled centrally from one single user
interface.
