This initial Resorts World surveillance installation will record over 1,400 channels of 30FPS High-Definition IP video using Synectics' award-winning video management and integration platform, Synergy, John Medolla, Director of Surveillance for Resorts World New York, stated, “Synergy's flexible and user-friendly interface was the driving force behind Synectics being the system of choice for Resorts World New York. Also a major factor in the decision was Synectics' ability to create a cost-effective, all HD-IP digital recording solution–the first of its kind in North America.”
Supported by a state-of-the-art Cisco IP infrastructure, the surveillance system installation is expected to be complete by October 2011. Video integration to the casino's point-of-sale cash register transactions through Synergy will further enhance the already robust feature set of Synectics' command and control video management platform.
John Katnic, COO, Synectics USA, added: "This is a monumental opportunity and partnership for Synectics. Installing one of the most advanced digital surveillance systems in the world (all-IP HD video) in the greatest city in the world (New York) for one of world's most successful gaming and hospitality companies (Genting Group) is a dream come true. Everyone at Synectics, engineering to executives, is excited and looking forward to world class results.”
