G
lamour, excitement, fun: With Studio City, Melco Crown Entertainment has set a new milestone in Macau. Even the video equipment has to be described in
superlatives: Dallmeier has installed the largest full HD casino video system in the world, involving several thousand IP cameras.
Studio City is a mega-entertainment resort,
unparalleled anywhere in the world. The all- pervading theme of the resort is film and cinema. The Hollywood-inspired resort offers excitement of every conceivable kind – not just in the glamorous casino with its countless gaming tables and staggering jackpots, but also in the many other cinema-themed attractions. If you are looking for thrills, you will certainly find them in “The House of Magic“, where world-famous magicians will defy your senses, or the action-packed “Batman Dark Flight“, a 4D simulation ride. An opulent hotel with 1,600 guest rooms, an international collection of exquisite restaurants and a New York and
Hollywood themed shopping street with world- famous designer labels offer something for everyone. The resort even has the highest figure-8 Ferris wheel on the planet.
And the video system is unique as well: The
entire video security system is based on IP technology and delivers outstanding full HD image quality throughout. Besides other casinos in the Melco Crown Entertainment Group – City of Dreams Macau, City of Dreams Manila and Altira Macau – Studio City now joins the long list of Dallmeier’s customers.

Director MCE Surveillance Operations, about the challenges and unique features of this video security system.

reasons for choosing Dallmeier? Dallmeier was the partner of our choice for numerous reasons, first and foremost the casino industry is by nature the most demanding surveillance system application in the world today. From airports, prisons, shopping centres, universities, military facilities, city surveillance, etc., nowhere has the concentration of cameras per square metre

than what you will find in a casino property as well as the real-time demands by individual users. Very few systems can seamlessly meet such high level of demand in all aspects, let alone also as a full IP system. Dallmeier is the best of them! The outstanding image quality of the Dallmeier cameras also influenced our decision. The full HD PTZ and fixed cameras perform with an extraordinary resolution and excellent zoom functionality. In casino surveillance, definition of details is absolutely critical and can make the difference in a case or incident! Another reason was the ability to adjust
camera settings via global configuration down- the-line, which means less time on ladders and less disruption to our business. Dallmeier technology stands for a proven
resilient system with the highest level track record of performance and availability. And not to forget the ability to customize high and low level interfaces directly to all our business revenue streams and associated systems.
What exactly is monitored with the Dallmeier video system? Via the system, we monitor every aspect of the
entire Studio City integrated resort: gaming areas, retail boulevards, hotel towers, entertainment venues, Heart-of-House, cash areas and vaults, points-of-sale, car parks, high security areas, external perimeter and all public areas. More than 6,000 full HD network cameras
are recorded on reliable video appliances. Furthermore, standby and failover servers ensure the highest availability of all data.
