Green Is the New Red: The One, Two, Three of Laser Level Tools

Small to large contractors often deal with the demand of precision, accuracy and alignment in all their construction applications. And rightly, it should be so – a single misalignment is one of the quickest ways to ruin the project that may affect the design and quality aspects of the infrastructure altogether. 

Needless to say, tools and devices play a great deal in making jobs easier and faster. It is also a matter of choosing the right tool that should also be put in consideration. Digital construction devices such as laser levels are the perfect tools that can accomplish alignment tasks with utmost precision. 


Laser levels are a common fixture in construction projects: these tools prove to be a reliable companion in positioning windows exactly, or hanging ventilation ducts and ceilings accurately. Bosch’s GCL 2-15 G Professional Combi Laser Level Device does exactly just that.

Built-in intelligence for all-new AUTODOME IP 4000i and 5000i cameras from Bosch opens a new chapter for applications beyond security

Until now, level of detail has been the key quality parameter for surveillance cameras, as clear images at all times was the most important feature for high security. True, security personnel must see all relevant information in great detail to react quickly and take appropriate action. But what if a moving object leaves the camera’s field of view?

The AUTODOME IP family of pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras is the answer. These enable users manually to keep track of persons of interest as they move – even at speed, far beyond a fixed camera’s field of view.

This illustrates how the new AUTODOME IP cameras are improving video security. What opens a new chapter in the usage of video cameras is their built-in video analytics as a standard. The new AUTODOME IP cameras from Bosch now add metadata to all captured video images. This data can be used to improve security by automatically alerting users once pre-defined criteria are met or for other uses beyond security. For example: enforcing traffic regulations, enforcing no-parking zones, detecting vehicles driving the wrong way and delivering occupancy data (the number of vehicles entering or leaving a parking garage) for smart, more efficient parking.
