Bosch Receives Lenel Factory Certification for OnGuard


Becomes member of the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program

Bosch Security Systems announced today it has received Lenel factory certification for the interface of its IP video products to the OnGuard platform. As a member of the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance program, Bosch's IP video products now integrate seamlessly with OnGuard version 6.3.

"Bosch Security Systems has completed required factory testing at Lenel to validate the functionality of its interface to OnGuard. We look forward to their continued involvement in the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program," said Raffaele Ceravolo, director of strategic alliances for Lenel.

The transparent integration allows customers to verify system events and alarms by viewing live and recorded video from Bosch devices directly in the OnGuard user interface. With the ability to view the source of an alarm using nearby Bosch cameras, security personnel gain the information they need to respond more accurately.

"Integrating video with facility control systems is important for mitigating security risks and understanding the circumstances surrounding events," said Nick Valente, vice president of business development for Bosch Security Systems, Inc. "With this certification, we're helping customers more easily improve their level of control - giving them the ability to view detailed surveillance images without leaving their system interface."

The integration also gives customers the ability to operate pan, tilt and zoom functionality of Bosch cameras within the OnGuard software and set recording parameters to change based on system events. Important video technology advancements from Bosch - including H.264 compression, Intelligent Video Analysis and Automatic Network Replenishment, which recovers recordings from buffered video in edge devices when a network interruption occurs - are also supported.

Customers can choose from a variety of Bosch cameras and encoders tested for certification, including Dinion IP, FlexiDome IP, Extreme Series IP, AutoDome Modular IP, and the 200 Series IP cameras, as well as VideoJet X, VIP X and VIP X1600 encoders. Bosch's Divar XF Series Hybrid Digital Recorders, DiBos Digital Video Recorders, and Video Recording Manager also integrate seamlessly with the OnGuard system.
