Casinos are typically dark and loud and that can easily lead to unsavory activities taking place. Casinos are also, within the security landscape, difficult to monitor and the stakes are high when it comes to keeping the patrons and staff safe from potential dangerous activities. From the gamblers to the dealers to the floor staff, security needs to be maximized for the safety of everyone in the building and on the grounds.
Stringent regulations in the casino industry do help ensure that the highest operating standards are met and many security measures are in place to prevent fraud and theft, but many casino owners are amping up their security by adding cameras in various areas of the casino landscape.
Security departments are seeking not only the best technology but technology that is cost effective, scalable and simple to use. The security also needs to be able to accommodate high volumes of foot traffic from the patrons and make it easy for on-floor security personnel to respond to potential threats.
Security in casinos needs to be not only discreet but highly functional. Patrons of these establishments understand there are security cameras, but they don’t want to be continually thinking about that while they are enjoying themselves on the gaming floor.
Casino operators are looking at omnidirectional cameras that operate in 360 degree angles with tilt and zoom capabilities all while watching live feed. These cameras are placed in various areas throughout the casino and allow security to have a view of the entire gaming floor in real time.
Effective casino surveillance strategies include the ability to identify a potential threat in time to alert security staff. It also enhances the safety of the patrons by assuring them they can enjoy a night at the casino without fear of theft or fraud. Casino owners also typically install surveillance in parking garages and parking lots to further enhance safety for staff and patrons.
