Integrated Access Control and CCTV Surveillance Systems can help bolster hotel security

Deploying integrated access control and CCTV surveillance systems is one sure fire way for hotels to improve their overall security, experts in the sector believe.

An integrated solution has the potential to combine intrusion detection, video surveillance, and access control and because the majority of the individual components are compatible, the system can be implemented modularly.

For hotels, an access control system denies unauthorised persons access to areas such as guest rooms and personnel areas, while a CCTV video surveillance system is a better solution for publicly accessible areas, such as the lobby, the reception area, or the conference area.

Furthermore, advanced video analytics software systems are extremely useful to hotels as they can efficiently monitor publicly accessible, busy areas. Additionally, the system can automatically alert busy staff members when specific abnormal or suspicious behaviour is detected.

Analytics are increasingly used to identify blacklisted people, using facial recognition software, as soon as they walk into the hotel.

If hotels can evaluate a CCTV image in real-time, they can stop criminal activity from occurring on their grounds. Analytics are also being increasingly used to identify blacklisted people, using facial recognition software, as soon as they walk into the hotel.

The database of unwanted people can be limited to the hotel itself, but can also be networked to include other hotels in the chain and even other hotels in a local area to increase protection. Analytics does not have to be limited to security though.

The same analytics can be used to, for instance: identify VIPs as soon as they arrive, identify people with special needs as soon as they arrive and car park management, greatly improving the level of service that a hotel can provide to its key customers.
