Background
The Cercle Clichy-Montmartre in Paris, famous for its “Roulette of the People,” was faced with new regulations. These required every table to not only have video surveillance, but audio recordings too. And both recordings had to be backed up with a minimum of 28 days retention.
Solution
Cercle Clichy-Montmartre had the foresight to see the benefits of a complete IP video solution early on, they had partnered with
IndigoVision. IndigoVision’s backward compatibility meant the casino was able to continuously add new products, bring existing analog cameras to IP and complement existing equipment. Compatibility brought with it not just increased security but considerable storage and financial savings.
Compliance was achieved through IndigoVision
NVRs, over 65 IndigoVision HD cameras. Twenty-five IndigoVision encoders brought existing analogue cameras to IP. With NVR-AS 3000s and NVR-AS 4000s storage retention was easily achieved.
IndigoVision’s Security Management System, Control Center, coupled with the high definition image quality from new HD cameras meant access to recorded footage at all tables was easy. Synchronised AAC audio and video was achieved on poker tables with IndigoVision’s Ultra 1K and 2K Cameras with built-in SMART.core technology. IndigoVision’s ACF+ (Activity Controlled Framerate) reduce storage costs when tables are not open without jeopardising reliability.
Several in-house disputes were resolved immediately, having improved situational awareness meant seeing and hearing everything was now easy. New IndigoVision products are scheduled to be installed in early 2017. “IndigoVision’s solution provides 100 percent reliability, perfect audio sync, is easy to use and the ACF helps save on storage costs when tables aren’t open,” said M Luc Richard, Managing Director of Cercle Clichy-Montmartre.
