The Alpina Dolomites Lodge, located on the Alpe de Siusi (Seiser Alm) in Italy South Tyrol province, was faced with the need to have video surveillance system that could not only ensure guests safety but protect its guests without being invasive of their privacy, and that would fit in perfectly with the modern architecture and design of the complex.
The Alpina Dolomites Lodge, located on the Alpe de Siusi (Seiser Alm) in Italy South Tyrol province, was faced with the need to have video surveillance system that could not only ensure guests safety but protect its guests without being invasive of their privacy, and that would fit in perfectly with the modern architecture and design of the complex.
The structure required video surveillance system with aesthetic features that would uniformly fit into the refined design of the complex and the elegance of the furnishings, and would not disturb the freedom and peacefulness of the guests.
The solution developed by Aviscon avails itself of 46 Axis network cameras connected to a Milestone server, that allow for the effective monitoring of both indoor and outdoor areas. Part of the installation was carried out while the hotel was being built, to ensure safety of the construction site, where more than 100 workers were present on a daily basis.
Compact and small-sized Axis cameras were chosen, with a discreet presence and outstanding performance, capable of producing images with megapixel resolution and HDTV, with high quality. The nine indoor corridors were each equipped with two Axis 209FD network cameras specifically fitted with long lens. Their ultracompact design and depth of only four centimeter made it possible to easily install them on the ceiling, while the optics ensure full coverage of the 45 meter-long corridors.
For the garage and outdoor premises, the hotel opted for Axis P3344 due to its WDR and functionality for both day and night. Axis P1344 completes the video surveillance requirements for the outdoor areas. They are protected against dust, rain, snow and sunlight and can work at temperatures as low as -40°C.
To allow the owners the possibility for remote monitoring via mobile and fixed devices installed in another hotel complex located 27 km away, a wi-fi type network architecture was developed with dorsal positioned on the summit of the mountain that physically separates the two structures. The fact that the system includes PoE and system alarms are managed via the Milestone server has reduced the need for servicing, while the antitampering alarms enable instant detection of any attempts to tamper with the cameras.
