Security equipment companies offer products that address multiple threats to aircraft as well as hangars and other vulnerable general and corporate aviation support facilities.
A Portfolio Of Protection
Bosch Security and Safety Systems of Fairport, N.Y., supplies security, safety and communications products and services, including video surveillance, access control and systems management functions.
Bosch’s aviation business includes building and perimeter security systems that use video sensors to automatically detect and alert companies to breaches of protected areas, line crossing, objects left behind, loitering and other activities. The Bosch intrusion-detection system can alert a monitoring center or send a text alert to personnel along with a video snapshot of the event. Video security cameras are offered with built-in video analytics as standard.
To improve safety and security, Bosch plans to introduce Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro), a suite of video security analytical systems that will provide application-specific packages for building security and operations, including the IVA Pro Buildings Pack and IVA Pro Perimeter Pack.
