From reactive video surveillance to context-based real-time intelligence

At ISC West 2026, [IQSIGHT](https://www.iqsight.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) – formerly Bosch Video Systems – demonstrated how modern video security solutions are increasingly evolving from traditional surveillance systems into intelligent sensor and analytics platforms.

The focus of the exhibition stand was on AI-powered video analytics, GenAI-based context processing and new camera platforms with edge-based intelligence.

Under the motto “See clearly, act confidently”, the company presented solutions designed to help security and operations managers identify risks earlier, accelerate operational decisions and make security processes more data-driven.

It became clear that the next stage of development for modern video technology no longer lies solely in higher image quality, but increasingly in the ability to interpret situations contextually and derive operational relevance in real time.

GenAI expands video analytics with context and “reasoning”

A key focus of the exhibition stand was the new “IVA Pro Context” solution. It expands traditional AI-based video analytics with GenAI-powered context and reasoning capabilities.

Whilst conventional analytics primarily detects objects or movements, IVA Pro Context is also designed to interpret why an event might be relevant. Users can define simple voice-based prompts from which the system automatically derives operational monitoring instructions.

As a result, video analytics is increasingly moving towards semantic interpretation and context-based event evaluation.

In future, security platforms are intended not only to detect that something is happening, but also to assess and prioritise operational contexts.

To this end, IQSIGHT is pursuing both hybrid edge-cloud models and fully edge-based approaches. Whilst in the hybrid architecture the edge component handles object detection and activity analysis in real time, the cloud provides additional contextual information for evaluating events.

At the same time, the company is addressing the regulatory and organisational requirements of security-critical industries. For organisations with restrictive cloud policies, a fully edge-based variant was presented at the trade fair, designed to provide many functions without external cloud processing.

Agentic AI and autonomous security processes

The use of so-called “Agentic AI” also received particular attention at ISC West. IQSIGHT demonstrated interactive systems that not only deliver analysis results but can also react autonomously to events and automate workflows.

This approach highlights a fundamental development in the security market: AI systems are increasingly moving away from purely assistive functions towards semi-autonomous decision-making and process systems.

This is not exclusively about traditional security applications, but increasingly also about operational efficiency, infrastructure management and operational resilience. Video analysis is thus becoming an integral part of comprehensive situational awareness and decision intelligence platforms.

Expansion of the IVA Pro portfolio for specialised deployment scenarios

In parallel, IQSIGHT is continuously expanding its portfolio of specialised analysis functions. At ISC West, the company presented “IVA Pro Tunnel”, a new analytics solution for tunnel and traffic monitoring applications.

Among other things, the solution detects abandoned objects, loss of visibility, wrong-way drivers, slow-moving vehicles or pedestrians in safety-critical tunnel areas.

The aim is to reduce response times in the event of incidents and to increase safety in complex transport infrastructures.

In doing so, IQSIGHT is addressing a market trend that can be observed across all sectors: AI-powered video analytics is increasingly being developed for highly specialised vertical applications – such as transport, critical infrastructure, industry, airports or smart city infrastructures.

In addition to safety functions, operational metrics such as traffic flow, process optimisation and operational stability are also gaining in importance.

New camera platforms with edge-based intelligence

Another key focus was IQSIGHT’s new generation of cameras. The systems presented are based on an ‘intelligence-first’ platform, which is already designed to be ready for future GenAI functions.

The products presented included, among others, the FLEXIDOME dual 7100i IR with two image sensors in a single housing. The camera enables flexible use of IVA Pro licences across multiple fields of view and is particularly suited to applications with complex surveillance areas.

The new DINION-7100s box camera has been specifically designed for demanding environments such as tunnels, transport infrastructure or industrial facilities. The platform is designed for robust operating conditions and flexible housing integration.

With the AUTODOME 7100i IR, IQSIGHT also showcased a new PTZ camera with up to 4K Ultra HD resolution and optimised imaging above the horizon line. The company sees particular applications in city surveillance, traffic control and perimeter security.

For challenging visibility and weather conditions, IQSIGHT also presented the MIC fusion 9100s. The system combines optical imaging with thermal imaging technology and merges metadata from both sensor streams. This is intended to enable objects to be detected and tracked more reliably, even in fog, darkness or poor weather conditions.

Cameras are becoming intelligent sensor platforms

Overall, the presentations at ISC West highlighted a key paradigm shift in the security industry: cameras are increasingly evolving from passive recording systems into intelligent sensor platforms within networked security and operational architectures.

In this context, metadata, AI-supported interpretation and automated event evaluation are becoming significantly more important.

The aim of modern systems is no longer solely the retrospective analysis of incidents, but their early detection and operational classification in real time.

IQSIGHT is clearly positioning itself within the realm of data-driven security architectures, where video analysis is not viewed in isolation, but as part of comprehensive situational awareness, automation and decision intelligence concepts.

Particularly in security-critical environments such as transport infrastructure, urban areas, industrial facilities or KRITIS applications, this development could fundamentally change the role of modern video technology in the future.
