Professional Bosch hardware. Complex enterprise software.

How to Add AI Prevention to Bosch Cameras

If you've invested in Bosch security cameras, you've made a professional choice. Bosch manufactures some of the highest-quality security hardware available - built for reliability, durability, and exceptional image quality.

The question isn't whether Bosch cameras are good. They're excellent. The question is: can you get smarter AI without the enterprise complexity?

The IVA Licensing Problem

Bosch's Intelligent Video Analytics is genuinely powerful. But the licensing model creates friction:

• Separate licences required for each camera (£200-500 per module)
• Different IVA packages for different use cases (Perimeter, Buildings, Traffic)
• Complex configuration requiring Bosch-certified integrators
• Each camera runs analytics independently - no cross-camera intelligence

For a four-camera residential system, IVA licensing alone can cost more than the cameras themselves.

The Video Security Client Problem

If you've used Bosch's Video Security Client, you know the limitations:

• No WAN support in recent versions - only works on the same local network
• Users report PTZ controls breaking after updates
• Authentication issues require clearing cache and re-adding servers
• Cameras from different networks cannot be added to the same site

Can You Upgrade Bosch Detection Without Replacing Cameras?

Yes. scOS connects to your existing Bosch cameras. You keep your professional hardware investment, but get an entirely different software experience.

Simpler AI:

• One subscription covers all your cameras
• No per-camera licensing or module purchases
• Contextual AI that learns your property's patterns

Cross-camera intelligence:

• Bosch treats each camera as an island
• scOS tracks activity across your entire property
• Understands that the person at your gate is now approaching your back door

Actual prevention:

• Bosch IVA detects and records
• scOS intervenes - triggering lights, sirens, and deterrents before the incident happens

Simple control:

• Mobile-first app that works from anywhere
• Designed so you rarely need to open it
• No network restrictions or WAN limitations

The scOS Difference

Here's what we believe: security should be invisible until it matters.

Your cameras should focus on one thing - detecting suspicious activity. Not motion. Not cats. Not shadows. Suspicious activity. The kind a human would notice.

scOS only alerts you when it matters. Just like a person would. No endless notifications. No crying wolf. When your phone buzzes, it means something.

And here's the beautiful part: scOS is designed to be left alone. No tweaking. No configuration. No input needed. It just works, quietly protecting your property while you get on with your life.

Every feature is included. No modules. No add-ons. No nickel-and-diming. See everything you get.

And it works with any wired camera brand - including your professional Bosch hardware.

Making the Upgrade

It's simple. An engineer comes to your property, sets up your Intelligence Hub, and connects your cameras. That's it.

You've invested in professional hardware. scOS makes that investment work harder - with AI that prevents crime, not just records it.
