The Baldisserri Hotels Group deployed new IP-based surveillance solutions during renovations made on its Sangiorgio hotel (in Forli) and Globus hotel (in Milano, Marittima) to ensure the security of hotel premises, assets, staff and guests during the redesign phase. RCM, an Axis Communications partner, installed two different video surveillance solutions to meet the specific interior surveillance requirements for the Sangiorgio hotel and exterior surveillance requirements of the Globus hotel.
The Baldisserri Hotels Group deployed new IP-based surveillance solutions during renovations made on its Sangiorgio hotel (in Forli) and Globus hotel (in Milano, Marittima) to ensure the security of hotel premises, assets, staff and guests during the redesign phase. RCM, an Axis Communications partner, installed two different video surveillance solutions to meet the specific interior surveillance requirements for the Sangiorgio hotel and exterior surveillance requirements of the Globus hotel.
For the Sangiorgio hotel, small unobtrusive MPEG-4 network cameras, suited for discreet surveillance, were installed indoors, while interior network cameras housed in outdoor enclosures were deployed in the exterior. At Globus, the aim was to monitor the outdoor areas, including garden, garages and side entrances effectively. Due to poor lighting conditions, D/N network cameras were chosen.
An easy-to-use and highly reliable system was needed, with round-the-clock recording of images and the possibility to monitor and record video remotely, both in real time and deferred time. For recording and viewing images, the system design included a Camtrace server, specifically developed to manage images with two 1-Gbps networks one for the camera network and remote viewing. The server system was chosen, thanks to its scalability of increasing the number of cameras to 100, and its possibility to customize groups of network cameras and the convenience of not having to install any software on the remote computers.
“Thanks to the Axis video surveillance system, both the inside and outside areas of the hotels are monitored effectively and discreetly,” said Pierpaolo Baldisserri, owner of the hotels. “Our guests feel safer and, thanks to the network cameras' small form factor, are not bothered by their presence.” The excellent quality of images obtained even in poor light conditions has enabled uninterrupted monitoring of areas at risk in both hotels, thus guaranteeing the safety and peace of mind of the guests.
