LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 20, 2011 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) has been selected to
overhaul the video surveillance system at Casino Niagara, one of the top tourism
attractions in Canada’s famed Niagara Falls. The project includes retrofitting
the existing surveillance network with IP video technology that will allow
casino officials to use a single command and control center to view and remotely
manage the systems at both Casino Niagara and its nearby sister facility,
Fallsview Casino.
The project calls for Honeywell to provide its MAXPRO® VMS (video management
system) and VideoBloX video and audio matrix to oversee the casino, which
encompasses 1,600 slot machines, 28 gaming tables, a 12-table poker room and
several other attractions. Additionally, it will upgrade the casino’s VCR
recording system to an enterprise-wide digital recorder network.
“By consolidating our operation with this new technology, we will be able to
better utilize our staffing resources to maximize our operational efficiencies,
and provide more proactive and resourceful solutions for the organization as a
whole,” said Brian McDonough, Director of Surveillance, Niagara Casinos.
In addition to MAXPRO VMS, Honeywell’s wide portfolio of entry
level-to-enterprise IP offerings includes IP-based network video recorders
(NVRs), hybrid digital video recorders (DVRs) and a full line of cameras. These
offerings are designed to help organizations simplify the transition from analog
to IP video surveillance.
“One of the defining characteristics of this new system will be its ability
to accommodate future growth and save money in the long run, while providing
effective surveillance that will help the casino protect its patrons and
employees,” said Dave Herrington, global account manager for Honeywell Systems.
“The open architecture of MAXPRO VMS makes it easier to expand the network as
needed, and it only requires operators to learn one system to control
everything. It’s a much easier entry to IP video.”
