Bosch Object Detection + AI Alarm Verification
Use Bosch cameras designed to detect objects (e.g., firearms) and combine with AI alarm verification
Most Bosch cameras detect people and vehicles in various conditions, while some others are designed for brandished firearm detection. Those detections can be alarmed for in XProtect® with no extra server equipment needed, as processing happens on-camera.
◉ For people and vehicle detection, use a compatible Bosch camera with legacy IVA, EVA, or IVA Pro.
◉ For firearm detection, choose a compatible Bosch camera with IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection (VGD)*.
In challenging conditions or to enhance legacy camera accuracy, Bosch AI Alarm Verification adds a cloud-based AI review layer, verifying alarms within seconds for near-zero unwanted alarms.
◉ Have a look at the explainer video here
All verifications are logged in XProtect®, while confirmed false alarms are kept away from the operator. This solution requires an annual Bosch cloud license per camera for people/vehicles (CBS-AAV-PER) or for firearms (CBS-AAV-VGD). In addition, you’ll need Milestone XProtect and the Bosch plug-in that you can find on the Bosch download store or on the Milestone Technology Partner Finder page.
Key features
◉ Option 1: Detect people and vehicles with Bosch cameras and use optional cloud-based AI Alarm Verification for challenging conditions or with legacy cameras.
◉ Option 2: Use other Bosch cameras designed to detect brandished firearms and combine with Bosch AI Alarm Verification in the cloud for an extra pair of eyes.
◉ The plug-in enables easy cloud setup and configuration: it connects with the XProtect rule engine for (automated) incident response follow-up.
◉ Use Milestone's "Emergency Alert" feature in Mobile Client for emergency decision-making while on-the-go. Ideal for staff in education environments. Please note that for this feature in Milestone XProtect, you need a Milestone Care Plus license.
◉ No additional server equipment needed. Processing happens exclusively on the camera and -optionally- in the cloud (when using AI Alarm Verification).
* Bosch produces cameras that are designed to detect brandished firearms in order to alert and assist security personnel. If installed and configured correctly, this can enhance the safety of employees and visitors. Combining camera-based visual firearm detection with AI Alarm Verification can further enhance accuracy and thus assistance. Please find more information about the on-camera principle here.
