Overview
Bosch Object Detection + AI Alarm Verification - Use Bosch cameras designed to detect objects (e.g., firearms) and combine with AI alarm verification
Most Bosch cameras detect people and vehicles in various conditions, while some others are designed for firearm detection. Those detections can be alarmed for in XProtect® with no extra server equipment needed, as processing happens on-camera.For people and vehicle detection, use a compatible Bosch camera with legacy IVA, EVA, or IVA Pro. For firearm detection, choose a compatible Bosch camera with IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection (VGD).
In challenging conditions or to enhance legacy camera accuracy, Bosch AI Alarm Verification adds a cloud-based AI review layer, verifying alarms within seconds for near-zero unwanted alarms.
All verifications are logged in XProtect®, while confirmed false alarms are kept away from the operator. This solution requires an annual Bosch cloud license (CBS-AAV-PER for people/vehicles, CBS-AAV-VGD for firearms) per camera and the Bosch plug-in available on this page.
Key features
- Detect people and vehicles with Bosch cameras and use optional cloud-based AI Alarm Verification for challenging conditions or with legacy cameras.
- Use other Bosch cameras designed to detect brandished firearms and combine with Bosch AI Alarm Verification in the cloud for an extra pair of eyes.
- The plug-in enables easy cloud setup and configuration: it connects with the XProtect rule engine for (automated) incident response follow-up.
- Use Milestone's "Emergency Alert" feature in Mobile Client for emergency decision-making while on-the-go. Ideal for staff in education environments.
- No additional server equipment needed. Processing happens exclusively on the camera and -optionally- in the cloud (when using AI Alarm Verification).

3 of 4
Overview 3: Based on the camera-detected alarm, the AI Alarm Verification Plug-in is sending small visuals to the cloud for deeper investigation. The result is sent back to XProtect® and logged.
