master plan but also ceiling design and fixtures. The challenges come when other ceiling infrastructure such as lighting elements, fire systems, ventilation, design features, public announcement and sound system all end up in the same place where you need to place cameras. Designers tend to focus priority on form over function, whereas operations people lean towards function over form. There is, however, a balance of function and form that can be achieved via close collaboration with architects and designers whereby the Dallmeier IP cameras (running off CAT-6 cabling and low heat emitting) can be aesthetically integrated into or within ceiling design fixtures or chandeliers…this we have achieved quite successfully.
Dallmeier has also developed a special camera
for you… That’s correct. Pit-View – a small HD 1080P camera which we specifically requested Dallmeier to produce in order to meet our needs. It has been successfully integrated into all our gaming table scoreboards, finally bringing surveillance cameras out of the ceiling and down to patron level providing superior views of the gaming action much to the satisfaction of internal stakeholders, not to mention also the Gaming Regulator and Law Enforcement for irrefutable evidence of occurrences and/or illegal acts.
You have been talking about interfaces… What
integrations have been realized and what is the added value for you? Some of the key integrations that make Dallmeier unique and enhance our ability to protect the business, is the customized development of high-level interfacing to our core systems around the property. Interfaces include gaming machines, intelligent gaming shoe, point-of-sale, security access control intruder detection system and RFID gaming chips. This brings the convergence of video and data or
events directly to our operators in real-time and book marked for click-&-play or available for post investigation, analysis, or export looking into trends and anomalies. Additionally, direct interfaces to the security system
allow immediate on-screen-display of cameras associated or nearby any alarmed event, enabling the effective timely detection, assessment and dispatch of response teams with situational awareness.
What is the concept for your control room? Our Surveillance Operations Centre is designed with functionality and ergonomics in mind, with the understanding that we achieve results through the “eyes” of our surveillance operators. So providing them a work space that can deliver a high- performance results-orientated environment with the highest level of HCI (Human Computer Interaction) and intuitiveness was a key focus. The operator intuitiveness and user-friendliness of the video management, the Dallmeier SeMSy system, also goes in line with this philosophy. At the Surveillance Operations Centre, the on-shift management team are embedded in the heart of the operation with direct line of sight or peripheral on all monitoring stations. The managing support levels can flow and circulate around and behind consoles with ease, providing the necessary guidance, coaching and performance management.
Leroy, are you satisfied with your choice? Dallmeier’s continual and ongoing Research &
Development dedicated to the product is clearly seen in this holistic video solution. We are highly satisfied with the system and with both the regional and global unconditional Dallmeier technical support.
