Intelligent Audio Analytics

Intelligent Audio Analytics precisely detects and classifies sounds while accurately estimating the direction from which the sound originates. This powerful sound AI can differentiate between harmless sounds like car doors or a truck backfiring and actual threats, helping your security team verify alarms and facilitate a quick and appropriate life-saving response. Intelligent Audio Analytics is based on Bosch patented SoundSee technology used by the International Space Station, where it identifies imminent failures by analyzing machine noise ─ it can hear when something is about to go wrong.

Why Bosch

Highly reliable detection

Accurately detects relevant sounds while filtering out false alarms from similar audio signatures or loud noises.
By relying on this technology, you can significantly reduce costs and improve efficiency since security personnel only need to respond to actual incidents.

Enhanced situational awareness

Strengthen security by pairing the FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i cameras with Intelligent Audio Analytics.

Classify sounds and determine direction

Immediately detects unique sound signatures, classifies them, and estimates the sound's direction.
Speeds up the reporting to law enforcement, providing more time to respond.

Privacy protected

No audio needs to be recorded or leave the camera, as it is possible to examine sound spectrogram only, ensuring privacy is protected.

Seamless integration

Integrates seamlessly with Bosch and leading video management systems for flexibility.

Proven in space

SoundSee sensors are used onboard the International Space Station to gauge system performance and predict maintenance needs.

Use cases

Enabling safer learning environments

Gun violence and school shootings are a uniquely American epidemic. The Department of Homeland Security reports that active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes before law enforcement arrives. Response times are of grave importance, especially when it concerns schools. Detecting gunshots in live systems helps school security and police to respond quickly and appropriately to active shooters.

Enabling faster response times in city surveillance

Enabling faster response times in city surveillance

When there is a shooting, every second counts. Law enforcement must know where the shooter is as soon as a shot is fired. They must assess the situation, determine the risks, and take immediate action. In an urban environment, thundering noises like fireworks can often be mistaken for gunfire, tricking a video system into sending an alarm notification dispatching law enforcement, which can be a severe drain on an officer’s time and inefficient use of department resources. Application-specific sound detectors using deep neural networks identify sound events while ignoring false positives, helping you to focus only on authentic threats.

Enhance situational awareness with sound intelligence

FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i

Pairing FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i cameras with Intelligent Audio Analytics can enhance situational awareness and security. With 360-degree coverage and sound detection from any direction, potential threats can be quickly identified. This feature provides security personnel with a visual understanding of the situation, enabling a prompt response from law enforcement.
