As part of the facility, a highly sophisticated scenario village will be monitored by more than 30 CCTV cameras allowing trainers to observe trainees in real time. Cameras are supported by Bosch Video Management System software package. This enterprise IP solution allows Bosch’s new Starlight IP camera range to offer HD images of training operations as well as handling the site’s video surveillance requirements.
