Bosch Security Systems has equipped one of the biggest Latin American conference
centres, Corferias in Bogota Columbia, with a comprehensive, new security solution.
As Corferias continues to attract growing numbers of conferences and exhibitions,
the number of visitors at each event is also growing. To help direct visitor traffic
safely and smoothly through the centre, Bosch has modernized the centre’s video
surveillance and fire detection systems. Local Bosch partner, Compania
International de Integracion, installed the upgrade.
The new Modular Fire Panel Series 5000 will substantially increase fire protection at
the centre, which is host to 50 events and over 1.5 million visitors annually. In
addition to the centre’s original 100 analogue video cameras, Bosch has added 150
IP video cameras, which constantly monitor the entire 50,000 square-meter
compound.
The Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) controls the cameras and works with
the Video Recording Manager (VRM) and the Automatic Network Replenishment
Technology (ANR) to ensure that video records are saved locally in the event of a
network interruption, to be retrieved when the network is up again. Video footage
of the entire centre is available at all times.
Operators can use either the BVMS app or the Video Security app on their mobile
devices to manage the camera system from any location, streaming live as well as
recorded footage. Thanks to Bosch’s Dynamic Transcoding Technology, available
bandwidth does not affect remote transmission.
For the first time, video surveillance, fire detection, and third-party security
features can be centrally operated, and integrated into a single, coherent solution
through the Bosch Building Integration System (BIS).
