Bosch Security Systems and AxxonSoft Integration

Quick Overview and Key Benefits of Bosch Security Systems Integration

Comprehensive Video, Access, and Alarm Event Integration

By combining Bosch security cameras, access control, and alarm systems managed through Axxon PSIM, organizations gain a unified solution for video surveillance, access management, and alarm event handling within a single operational environment.

In parallel, Axxon One VMS and Axxon PSIM integrate with Bosch facial readers, enabling biometric access-related events and face recognition results to be used in access scenarios, visualized, and correlated with video streams inside the AxxonSoft interface.

AxxonSoft platforms also support the use of Bosch edge video analytics metadata for event handling, object tracking, and forensic search, helping distribute analytics processing between edge devices and the VMS — reducing server load, optimizing network and storage usage, and simplifying system expansion and maintenance.

Key Advantages

• Cost-efficient scalability — supports higher camera density per server by leveraging analytics metadata generated at the edge.
• Unified monitoring — video, access control, and alarm events are visualized in a single management interface.
• Modular growth — start with video surveillance and expand to access control and alarm monitoring as project needs evolve.
• Improved reliability — edge-based analytics processing reduces dependency on centralized analytics servers while centralized event handling improves operational resilience.

How It Works — Bosch CCTV, Security Systems, and Biometric Readers Integration

Bosch security systems connect to Axxon PSIM to unify video surveillance, access control, and alarm monitoring within a single operational platform.

Axxon PSIM receives real-time events, device statuses, and access-related information from Bosch security systems, including doors, readers, access controllers, and alarm events originating from intrusion and fire detection subsystems managed through Bosch platforms.

At the same time, video streams and analytics metadata from Bosch security cameras are delivered into AxxonSoft video management components for detection, tracking, and forensic search.

Integration with Bosch facial readers allows face recognition results / identification events to be visualized and used in automation scenarios alongside video streams.

The solution can use Bosch edge analytics, AxxonSoft server-side analytics, or both. Metadata generated by Bosch cameras accelerates forensic search and real-time scene analytics and supports PTZ auto-tracking. Because analytics processing is distributed across edge devices, server load is reduced — lowering hardware requirements and improving cost efficiency for large and multi-site deployments.

Users and hardware objects from Bosch BIS are represented and managed within Axxon PSIM according to configured integration rules, while Bosch facial readers can be used within both Axxon One and PSIM.

Key Functional Capabilities

• Scalable video surveillance — edge analytics allows more cameras per server compared to fully centralized analytics.
• Reduced infrastructure load — on-camera analytics lowers CPU, bandwidth, and storage requirements, decreasing TCO.
• Flexible analytics architecture — combine Bosch edge analytics with AxxonSoft analytics based on project requirements.
• Smart video capabilities — digital auto-zoom, metadata-driven PTZ tracking, and scene analytics.
• Fast forensic search — metadata indexing enables rapid search by area motion, line crossing, movement direction, object size, speed, etc.
• Centralized management — users, devices, and events are monitored and managed through a unified AxxonSoft interface.
• Quick alarm location — sensor triggers and affected zones are highlighted on the map, enabling fast incident localization.
• Video verification — access control and alarm events are automatically paired with live and archive video from associated cameras.

Cut Server Costs with Bosch Video Analytics

A key challenge for intelligent video systems is higher project costs caused by increased computing load. When a video management system starts using server-side video analytics, the available number of cameras drops down substantially. The peak server load is caused by decoding video streams and tracking objects.

The solution combines Bosch video analytics at the edge with intelligent capabilities of AxxonSoft video management platforms. Server load is significantly reduced as the most resource-intensive calculations are performed on the camera.

The VMS receives events from Bosch video analytics, as well as “raw” metadata (scene descriptions), including coordinates and size of each moving object within the scene. The metadata is essential for AxxonSoft intelligent tools, such as scene analytics or tracking objects with PTZ cameras. Also, the metadata is stored for near-instant criteria-based forensic search.

In addition, video analytics at the edge makes managing data far easier. You can decide which information to stream, such as streaming video only when there is a moving object or when an alarm is triggered. This significantly reduces network strain and storage requirements.

Intelligence at the edge also can make your surveillance infrastructure more robust and reliable. Every smart camera operates independently, so there’s no need for a central analytics server if you don’t use server-side analytics. Decentralizing intelligence in this way means that a system can easily be scaled by adding more cameras. In the event of one camera failure, the rest of the system will maintain full performance.

Maximize Intelligent Video Surveillance with Bosch Security Cameras and AxxonSoft

Connect more cameras per server

Bosch Edge Video Analytics does not increase burden on the server. Distributed computing utilizes all available resources from edge devices, which allows you to cease sacrificing number of video channels per server.

Get benefits from both edge and server-side analytics

You can apply Bosch Edge Video Analytics as well as AxxonSoft scene analytics at your choice. In both cases Bosch cameras take over most of the computing load, making the system more cost-effective, reliable, and flexible.

Track objects with digital zooming

AxxonSoft Autozoom technology uses object coordinates calculated by Bosch Security cameras. This technology enlarges the area of the scene where moving objects are located, following them in the field of view.

Track objects with multiple cameras

AxxonSoft Tag&Track Pro receives object coordinates from fixed Bosch cameras with embedded video analytics and enables a PTZ camera to follow the object. One PTZ camera can use object coordinates calculated by multiple Bosch video cameras.

Find the recorded events of interest in seconds

Recording metadata from Bosch cameras along with video stream, AxxonSoft Smart Event Search helps you quickly find what you are looking for in a huge video footage. Just set the search criteria: motion in area(s), crossing a line, object speed and size, etc. The system displays the relevant video thumbnails within seconds.\
