Sony and Bosch Security sign a strategic and commercial agreement on network video security developments

Effective from the beginning of 2017 y pendiente de aprobación por las autoridades antimonopolio, ambas multinacionales emprenderán una colaboración estratégica con el objetivo de establecer nuevos estándares en el tratamiento de imágenes de vídeo de alta resolución y en condiciones de baja iluminación.

La japonesa Sony y la alemana Bosch Security unirán experiencia tecnológica, comercial y de ventas para desarrollar nuevos estándares en aplicaciones de videovigilancia y seguridad, fruto del acuerdo, pendiente todavía de aprobación, que ambas compañías acaban de firmar y anunciar al mercado.

En virtud de esta asociación estratégica, los clientes de Sony del entorno de seguridad en todos los mercados, excepto en Japón, serán atendidos y contarán con un equipo dedicado de soporte técnico, sales and marketing within the Bosch Security Systems organization, which will offer support, after-sales service and training in different languages in more than fifty countries around the world.

Sony, which will continue developing and manufacturing its video surveillance security products under its brand, brings its experience in video image quality and performance, with a special focus on low-light conditions, while Bosch adds to this partnership video analytics tools to interpret data, as well as innovative technology to achieve binary speeds and minimal storage.

For Toru Katsumoto, Vice President of Imaging Products and Solutions at Sony, 'this partnership will revolutionize the video security industry', since it combines technological experience and the strengths of two leading companies in the field of video security applications. Customers will benefit from Sony's superior image quality, as well as its 4K solutions, combined with Bosch's bit management and video analytics.

Along the same lines, the president of Bosch Security Systems, Gert van Iperen, ensures that 'this unique partnership also supports the company's vision in IoT (Internet of Things). Network surveillance cameras, and more specifically the data that is collected play a very important role in the development of IoT, y las cámaras podrían denominarse como ‘los ojos del Internet de las Cosas”.
