Friday, April 15th, 2011

The Gran Casino de Talca is the latest establishment to sing the praises of NUUO. As can be expected, monitoring and securing a casino is a complex operation, an operation that the makers of NUUO Central Management Systems believes they can handle satisfactorily.

The Gran Casino is home to nearly 400 slot machines, a 60 person bingo facility, 15 gaming tables, several restaurants and bars, hotels and more than 300 staff members. In order to secure and monitor each of these sectors, as well as cash registers, building exteriors, parking lots, etc, as well as comply with the strict government standards surrounding the casino and gambling industry, it was necessary for the security solution used to be capable of facilitating state-of-the-art alarm management, while giving security personnel the ability to effectively monitor large crowds of patrons, staff and exchanges of thousands of dollars.

The intelligent NUUP NVR solution used at the casino includes more than 175 IP cameras, each capable of being controlled by a central monitoring command center. The highly developed NUUO 6 video analytics and user-friendly interface enable the security team to meticulously monitor the behavior of both staff and guests. Perhaps the greatest attribute of this complex and intricate solution, the GUI E-map was designed to reduce response time as well as raise efficiency in the event of a security breach or incident.
