Equipped with more than 380 VideoSphere network cameras, VMS software and an integrated control room application, the solution delivers live monitoring and archiving capabilities for asset protection, dispute resolution and security.
The casino, which operates 400 slot machines, 96 gaming tables, a restaurant and a 220-room hotel, upgraded to the fully-digital video system to enhance its surveillance coverage of all gaming areas, counting rooms, entries/exits and other public spaces. Control room staff use integrated site maps and preset camera tours provided through the VideoSphere software to monitor activities in real-time and quickly search and analyze recorded video when necessary to respond to specific incidents. Security staff may also request archived video footage to address customer disputes more effectively.
"We are extremely impressed with the VideoSphere solution," said Gualtiero Giovanardi, Director of Integrated Security Services at Casino de la Vallée. "The quality of the HD video images and the advanced software functionality will significantly enhance our ability to manage and resolve potential security breaches across our property."
The solution provides the casino with high-quality video at frame rates of up to 30 fps. HD cameras capture crystal clear images with vivid color, as well as associated audio, while MicroDome PTZ cameras with optical zoom enable detailed surveillance. Both cameras feature H.264 video compression and PoE operation, significantly reducing bandwidth and storage requirements and simplifying installation. The cameras and system servers also provide exceptional reliability through high-capacity internal camera storage, RAID 5 server configuration, and redundant storage for protection from network outages.
