Bosch wins where other platforms physically can’t survive
A lot of access and video platforms compete on indoor enterprise deployments. Bosch’s real differentiation is at the perimeter, the refinery, the substation, the port, and the manufacturing plant — places where the camera has to survive temperature extremes, blowing dust, vibration, and salt air, and where the analytics have to work without a perfect indoor lighting environment. Bosch’s MIC and AUTODOME outdoor PTZ lines are industry standards in those conditions.
Bosch BIS extends the same one-vendor logic from cameras into a unified platform — access, intrusion, video, fire detection, and public address all on one console. For sites already invested in Bosch’s ecosystem, the consolidation is real. For everyone else, we’ll tell you whether Genetec or OnGuard is a better unified-platform choice.
Armorstack is a true integrator. The design engineer, installer, programmer, service technician, and customer success contact all sit inside the same shop — no sub-contractor relay race.
Capabilities & Credentials
Authorized integrator status across the full Bosch security ecosystem.
Bosch Authorized Integrator
Authorized on Bosch IP cameras, BIS unified platform, intrusion panels, and fire detection products.
Outdoor / Industrial Video
Bosch MIC (rugged outdoor PTZ) and AUTODOME (high-zoom outdoor) — industry standards for refineries, ports, manufacturing perimeters, and substations.
IVA Pro Onboard Analytics
Object classification, intrusion analytics, and behavioral detection running onboard the camera — no separate analytics server required for most deployments.
BIS Unified Platform
Building Integration System — access, intrusion, video, fire, and public address on one server, one operator console, one event log.
NDAA Section 889 Compliant
Bosch IP cameras are NDAA-compliant by default. We do not install Hikvision or Dahua under any platform.
Heavy-Industrial Expertise
Refineries, ports, manufacturing perimeters, water treatment, and substations — environments where camera survival and analytics-in-bad-light matter.
Scope of Service
Every engagement custom-scoped. No packages, no published pricing, no scope-range bands.
Where Bosch Fits Best
Heavy Industrial & Manufacturing
Plant-perimeter video, harsh-environment cameras, IVA Pro analytics for line-crossing and intrusion detection at production facilities.
Energy & Critical Infrastructure
Substations, water treatment, refineries, oil and gas — outdoor PTZ, perimeter analytics, NERC-CIP-aligned operations.
Ports & Transportation
Long-range PTZ for marine terminals, container yards, and transportation infrastructure where weather and distance defeat most cameras.
Large Outdoor Perimeters
Campus perimeters, government facilities with large lot lines, and any deployment where outdoor video is the central challenge.
One Armorstack Contract
Bosch Doesn’t Operate in Isolation
A Bosch deployment is one piece of a larger physical-and-cyber security stack. Armorstack is a true integrator — every adjacent service is in-house under one contract.
Bosch IVA Pro analytics events feed SENTRY’s SIEM. Perimeter intrusion, line-crossing, and loitering detections correlate with cyber threat detections.
Network design for distributed outdoor cameras, fiber backhaul, PoE+ infrastructure, and substation-grade switching — under CORE when bundled.
VERITY designs the perimeter response policy: which detections trigger physical response, which trigger SOC investigation, and what the audit trail looks like.
Bosch is one of seven CITADEL Gate platforms — Bosch for the outdoor perimeter, Brivo for indoor office access, Motorola for analytics-heavy indoor video, all under one Armorstack contract.
Standards We Build To
Non-banned video components on every standard install. Physical access controls, monitoring, and audit evidence built for regulated environments from day one.
Access logs feed VERITY-managed compliance reporting on request. HIPAA physical safeguards (164.310) cover door-event log retention and PHI-zone access controls; CMMC 2.0 physical access controls (PE family) apply to defense contractor environments. Local AHJ coordination — permitting, wiring inspection, and sign-off — on every install.
What Our Bosch Deployments Look Like in Production
Replaced a fragmented outdoor camera deployment — three different camera lines, none surviving harsh outdoor winters past two seasons — with Bosch MIC and AUTODOME PTZ at the plant perimeter. IVA Pro analytics now flag perimeter intrusion at night without requiring an operator to watch monitors. A five-year camera lifecycle replaced what had been an annual replacement budget item.
Deployed Bosch cameras at remote pumping stations and treatment facilities. Outdoor PTZ at the perimeter, IVA Pro for line-crossing detection, and SCADA-adjacent cybersecurity hardening through CORE. Operations sees both physical and OT-network anomalies in one view through SENTRY.
