The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs has had approximately 400 cameras installed in a building designated as a National Historic Landmark.
Laurie Jackson, vice president of gaming sales at North American Video, said: “We needed to utilize parts of the building’s historical infrastructure and architecture while fulfilling the requirement for a full-featured IP solution which uses an intelligent approach to managing the system.
“NAV’s reputation and experience in designing IP video system solutions and our extensive knowledge of gaming surveillance requirements positioned us as an ideal choice to implement the project.”
The IP cameras, a mixture of megapixel and high resolution imaging technologies, are integrated with a powerful recording structure to ensure all available storage is symmetrically used, NAV claims.
Work on the design/build was completed within a short time frame to meet the July grand opening and was commissioned through Clancy and Theys General Contractors.
‘Unique’ challenges
Angela O’Neill, director of Surveillance at The Greenbrier, said: “The video surveillance system at the new Casino Club presented unique design and installation challenges given our objective to preserve the building’s architectural beauty and integrity while implementing sophisticated IP based surveillance capabilities.
“MMA and NAV did a tremendous job working around the physical constraints of the facility and delivered a video surveillance system that provides the detailed coverage, control and archiving capabilities we wanted without any compromises.”
The Casino Club features an elegant gaming area and the underground complex is discreetly located beneath the front entrance green space.
Unlike other gaming facilities, the Casino Club is open only to overnight resort guests and members of The Greenbrier Sporting Club and The Greenbrier Golf & Tennis Club.
