Bosch Supplies Security Solution for Luxury Apartment Project in Vietnam

  • Jul 30, 2012

With 750 modern apartments spread over five 28-story buildings, Vietnam’s first luxury residential project, the Vista in Ho Chi Minh City, is the result of investments totalling $200 million. The developers turned to Bosch Security Systems when it came to ensuring the safety of the occupants and facilities. The latter includes 35,000 square meters of retail space, a 50-meter pool and a modern clubhouse boasting a steam bath, spa and sauna, a gymnasium, putting green and a tennis court.
 
At the Vista, Bosch surveillance cameras are in operation to detect movement and so protect people and property. An audible alarm warns of intruders entering a restricted area, and the sound is loud enough to be heard over a large distance. In addition, the integrated public address system informs the relevant occupants that an unauthorized person may be in the area. The alarm thus serves a two-fold purpose: it announces when a zone is in danger and can further help in capturing the intruder.

To facilitate round-the-clock surveillance throughout the complex, Bosch installed 56 vandal-resistant IR dome cameras, three AutoDome Series day/night PTZ cameras, and 15 of the LTC Series cameras. These are backed by the latest high-resolution, high-performance LCD monitors from the UML range, coupled with seven digital video recorders. Alongside this video system, no fewer than 800 LHM and general-purpose ceiling loudspeakers were integrated to allow for clear emergency messaging and public address announcements. Finally, Bosch installed more than 200 of the highly-efficient LBC horn loudspeakers, as these provide excellent speech reproduction and sound distribution for a number of outdoor applications.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
