The Suzhou Center is a 1.1 million square meters waterfront complex of shopping malls, office buildings, residential towers and hotel, opened in November 2017 in the Chinese city of Suzhou. Its aim; to become one of China’s international business hubs. The Center’s security system from Bosch provides video surveillance, intrusion alarm, access control and public address systems.
Over 3,200 Bosch HD cameras, fixed DINION and FLEXIDOME IP cameras as well as AUTODOME IP pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) models, cover the full range of operational security needs from surveillance to tracking. The AUTODOME IP dynamic 7000 HD cameras feature intelligent object tracking allowing security personnel to track moving targets automatically. If an object is detected, a camera’s Intelligent Tracking feature is triggered based on a pre-defined alarm rule, or manually by a click. Once Intelligent Tracking is activated, it carries out uninterrupted tracking of moving objects. Intelligent Video Analytics in the AUTODOME IP cameras can trigger alarms automatically when a pre-defined alarm rule (such as a person crossing a line) is met, alerting guards and identifying potential security issues. Eight Bosch Video Management Systems (BVMS) integrate all 3200 cameras for central management by the main control room.
Intrusion detection is managed by seven DS7400 Intrusion Panels that have over 200 sensors. Each of these can be programmed for up to eight areas and are programmable by local keypad or remotely. Access control is handled by two installations of Bosch’s Access Professional Edition (APE). APE controls doors, so that only authorized personal can enter restricted areas. It also exchanges data regarding door control and door status with the other security systems.
For public address and evacuation instruction, Bosch has supplied a PRAESIDEO system with over 5000 ceiling and cabinet speakers that are broken into over 80 zones and managed from two control centers. The PRAESIDEO also provides background music in the Center’s public areas.
