Several technologies have emerged that are providing casinos with a significant increase in security capabilities. FocusMicro’s Digital Video Servers are providing a wide array of new features that are being embraced by security professionals everywhere. Digital video recording provides image clarity that has been unobtainable from conventional video tapes, plus the ability to perform image post processing such as pan and zoom on areas of interest in a frame.
FocusMicro’s patent pending LogicTrack™ technology allows security personnel to set highly specific motion sensing alarm zones within a camera’s coverage, and then to configure alarms that are dependent upon the date, day and time of the alarm. Alarm notifications are also fully configurable, ranging from text messages transmitted to managers’ pagers, to voice notifications sent to security cell phones and automatic calls to law enforcement agencies.
There are many benefits of adopting a FocusMicro Digital Video Server solution for casinos. One of the more powerful is the capability to integrate a Digital Video Server with other security systems, transaction systems and safety equipment. Utilizing sophisticated PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras, FocusMicro Digital Video Servers can direct cameras to zoom on a specific event, such as a large payout, accessing a machine or the opening of a cash drawer.
FocusMicro servers can also be directed to automatically place a bookmark on the video history for a specific camera or cameras that will enable reviewers to easily locate an event.
In an environment where a FocusMicro Digital Video Server is integrated with other security and transaction based systems, Data Mining can be utilized for in-depth analysis of the data records. The science of Data Mining uses proprietary FocusMicro technology to analyze video and event history to extract and validate events. Using advanced algorithms, relationships between seemingly unrelated events can be established, patterns can be illuminated and comprehensive reports can be generated.
Data Mining is the ace that security professionals have needed but didn’t know that they were missing. With Data Mining in place, investigators will have state-of-the-art tools for analyzing events, allowing them to solve more crimes and proactively implement solutions before problems can materialize.
Digital Video is rapidly changing the way security and surveillance systems operate. The improvements gained by implementing a digitized system is more beneficial and has greater impact than the migration from black & white to color systems.
FocusMicro is the clear leader in this revolution, delivering stable, reliable systems that are matched only in performance by their six-sigma customer service. For an analysis of your establishment’s security and surveillance systems, contact a FocusMicro representative.
