Modern casinos rely on dedicated departments to oversee gaming operations, detect incidents of cheating and theft, protect their properties and safeguard patron safety. These security teams employ both human patrols and surveillance technologies to keep gaming patrons safe.
An effective video surveillance system can aid casino managers and operators in detecting robberies, vandalism, and other suspicious activities – while simultaneously tracking known offenders.
Video Monitoring
Casinos often violate video surveillance rules due to their large camera counts, high risks and frequent threats. Modern casinos divide security into two departments – physical security that patrols the floor, and an specialized surveillance department which operates the closed circuit television system of their casino.
Casino operatorss require surveillance systems capable of capturing a range of activities with clear images. Sometimes this involves distinguishing between chips on the table and cards while dealing with noisy carpet and lighting issues; plus quickly accessing live video replays for incident identification purposes.
XProtect was designed to meet gaming regulations and casino compliance requirements while improving guest experiences through real-time operator monitoring. Utilizing advanced image processing and intelligent tools, it allows you to verify incident reports while saving valuable time and enhancing teamwork. Furthermore, storage allocation priorities ensure critical cameras always have access to up-to-date footage.
Video Surveillance Systems
Casinos present unique security challenges and Vegas has long been considered the go-to testbed for various surveillance equipment. Although gaming regulations and compliance may establish minimum acceptance criteria for surveillance equipment installation, there is some latitude in choosing which technologies will provide optimal property protection.
Selecting cameras equipped with networked analytics and built-in AI can significantly enhance casino security teams’ situational awareness. Instant alerts, face recognition and thermal imaging allow them to quickly detect card counting, advantage playing, suspicious activity or any other forms of anomaly quicker and with greater reliability.
An open platform enables casinos to integrate other systems such as access control and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) for holistic security practices and to streamline management processes. Smart analytics provide valuable insights such as visitor hot spots, visitor flow patterns and dwell times to optimize floor layouts to enhance customer experiences while increasing brand reputations. When choosing cameras that comply with ONVIF standard protocols such as VMS systems or existing video infrastructure.
Video Analytics
Ability to detect suspicious activity immediately is an integral component of casino security, making intelligent video surveillance systems vital investments for casinos.
Historically, casinos relied on human eyes alone to detect potential incidents like cheating or fraud by guests or employees. With advancements in security solutions featuring artificial intelligence capabilities for enhanced monitoring and providing business intelligence insights.
Making the most of analytics options available to this industry can be challenging. One such analytics option, people counting, has been proposed and implemented; however, its return can be hard to justify without clearly outlining its scope in advance.
Video Recording
Casino surveillance directors spend much of their time in observation rooms monitoring game sections and money handling areas, as well as watching video footage to identify corrupt players such as card counters or hustlers who are stealing cards.
Digital recording provides higher image quality as well as the ability to quickly review incidents. These advantages enable staff members to address issues more quickly, which allows them to be proactive on the floor.
An efficient network infrastructure is vital in any casino environment, and the right solution provider should build redundancies and resilience into their design to prevent any downtime or data loss. Security experts must deploy solutions proven at over 500,000 customer sites and apply best practices for secure data storage, management, and export. In addition to that, only authorized personnel should view video using time-and role-based access control with encryption; video feed should only be made visible when authorized personnel are viewing it utilizing time/role-based access control with encryption; intelligent search and filtering capabilities such as object class/attribute search/filtering features such as visual gun detection/guest demographic analysis can then help clear false claims, reduce litigation costs/better understand incidents post event.
