Advanced and unified security to protect China's state-of-the-art Suzhou Center complex

More than 3.200 Bosch HD cameras monitor every space of the Suzhou Center, covering the full range of operational safety needs, from video capture to tracking.

The city of Suzhou, west of Shanghai, is known as 'the Venice of the Far East', by its channels, Bridges, gardens and classical architecture of its buildings. With a population of approximately 11 millions of inhabitants, the city has also opted for the avant-garde and modernity.

An example of this innovation is Suzhou Center, a complex of 1,1 million square meters, in which modern shopping centers are distributed, Offices, residential skyscrapers and a luxurious hotel facing the promenade, which aims to become one of the largest international business axes in China.

With these dimensions and characteristics, the security system of the complex had to be at the same level of modernity, with advanced video surveillance devices, intrusion detection alarms, access control and public address systems, that has been entrusted to the manufacturer Bosch Security.

More than 3.200 Bosch HD cameras secure every space of the Suzhou Center, covering the full range of operational safety needs, from surveillance to monitoring. Among these devices with advanced video surveillance functions, the Dinion and Flexidome IP models stand out., as well as mobile cameras (Ptz) Autodome IP.

In addition to surveillance functions, Autodome IP dynamic cameras 7000 HD features intelligent object tracking, so that security personnel can detect any moving target automatically, in such a way that if this occurs, the intelligent capture function of the devices is activated according to a predefined alarm rule, or manually with a simple click.

Once smart pickup is active, uninterrupted capture of moving objects is performed. Intelligent video analysis built into these cameras can trigger alarms automatically when a predefined alarm rule is detected (For example, a person crossing a line), alerting guards and identifying potential security issues.

Eight Bosch video surveillance systems integrate the 3.200 Flexidome cameras, Dinion and Autodome IP for unified administration and management by the main control center.

Intrusion detection is managed from seven DS7400 intrusion panels, that have more than two hundred sensors. Each of them can be programmed for up to eight areas, both locally and remotely.

Access control is managed with two Access Professional Edition installations (APE) by Bosch, with door control, so that only authorized personnel can enter restricted areas. It also exchanges information regarding the control and condition of the doors with the rest of the security systems.

For the public address system and voice evacuation, Bosch has supplied a Praesideo system, with more than 5.000 ceiling and cabinet speakers that are divided into more than eighty areas of the complex and are managed from two control centers. In addition, the sound quality offered by this system also provides ambient music in the public areas of the Suzhou Center.
