Barox Ethernet PoE DIN-rail Switches Power the Bosch MIC IP 7100i Camera

To support installers and planners of video surveillance systems in Germany, the globally active manufacturer of professional video Switches, media converters, and IP extenders, barox Kommunikation AG, was selected by Bosch to provide reliable, industry-standard PoE for the MIC IP 7000 PTZ camera series.

 

The Bosch MIC IP cameras deliver extremely high performance for critical applications, such as city surveillance and congested highways. They are extremely robust, made from corrosion-resistant metal, and can be used in temperatures from -40°C to +65°C. Furthermore, the integrated intelligent video analytics provide maximum situational awareness for extreme environments. For this reason, the MIC series cameras are optimally suited for monitoring highways, bridges, tunnels, ports, airport premises, and much more.

 

The intelligent barox Ethernet PoE network Switches were specifically developed for the high bandwidth requirements of video surveillance networks. With their robust design, the barox PoE DIN-rail Switches operate reliably even under extreme temperatures, as they are certified for operation up to 75 degrees Celsius.

The barox PoE DIN-rail Switches are already being used in combination with the robust Bosch MIC IP 7100i camera series in numerous important transport and road applications and offer installers a reliable solution for providing robust, high-performance PoE to meet the high PoE requirements of the MIC IP 7100i camera series regarding light intensity and telemetry.

 

The barox Switches offer proven, powerful power management, a remote restart function, device diagnostics, real-time alarms, and notifications for road and transport camera systems. For example, each barox RY-LPITE-802GBTME DIN-rail Switch can power up to six Bosch MIC IP 7100i cameras, including accessories (such as white light and infrared LED illuminators), and provides reliable active PoE management and reporting. In addition to monitoring and implementing energy management for all connected devices across the entire network, cameras can be restarted remotely without a technician physically unplugging a power injector on-site to restart a camera. This allows the barox Switch to proactively save valuable time and money and significantly reduce network downtime over the system’s entire lifespan.

 

Unlike general data Switches from other manufacturers, the barox video Switches were specifically designed for the high demands of video security networks and feature sophisticated integrated cybersecurity with strong network hygiene. barox is an ISO27000 certified manufacturer, and its cybersecurity features range from sticky IP to embedded firewall functions.

 

The barox RY-LPITE-802GBTME has proven itself worldwide in road and transport applications and is used in a wide variety of transport and road projects. These include, among others, the elimination of bandwidth limitations, the provision of secure and reliable PoE for a network with 95 cameras, and the security monitoring of the hard shoulder of a major highway section. Furthermore, the barox RY-LPITE-802GBTME is also deployed in a highway network with 100 cameras, making a significant contribution to the seamless monitoring of traffic safety. As high-quality HD images are transmitted to a remote control center, traffic flow and safety, as well as disruptions such as breakdowns or accidents, are continuously monitored. Reliable, high-resolution images are an important tool for system operators to ensure user safety and traffic flow — and in this context, the barox RY-LPITE-802GBTME, in combination with the MIC IP 7100i camera series, has comprehensively proven itself as an essential component for the success of many surveillance systems.

 

These benefits extend not only to Germany’s nationwide road and highway network but also to applications for tunnel safety and the security of industrial sites, such as oil and gas refineries. There, extreme temperatures, remote locations, poor lighting conditions, and hazardous technical processes require a secure and reliable specification for the surveillance system. With the combination of the barox Ethernet PoE Switch and the Bosch camera, highly robust and secure video networks are available to support effective security for specific areas on the refinery premises and at its boundaries.

 

“With barox technology and the Bosch MIC IP 7100i camera series, two leading European brands have joined forces to bring a proven solution to the German market,” says Angelo Banfi, Managing Director of barox. “The advantages of robust high-power PoE across a wide temperature range and advanced cybersecurity, combined with easy installation and setup, make barox technology the perfect partner for the Bosch MIC IP 7100i camera series and the many different applications specifically tailored to the needs of the German region.”
