IDIS has provided advanced video technology to protect a high-stakes poker tournament in a luxury casino in Northern Cyprus, designed to improve video coverage of the gaming tables and the casino floor.
The Merit Royal Hotel and Casino offers an exciting gaming environment for guests, with the ‘world’s largest’ roulette table, 950 of the latest slot and gambling machines, 63 live gaming tables and a number of luxurious VIP lounges.
Volga Elektronik was awarded the installation contract and deployed an end-to-end IDIS solution. To improve video coverage of gaming tables and the casino floor, Volga’s engineers installed IDIS 5MP dome cameras with motorised lenses, true WDR and IR up to 30 metres, delivering high-resolution images in varied lighting conditions.
DirectIP plug-and-play connection of the cameras, 24 PoE switches with 64-channel network video recorders (NVRs), which come pre-installed with IDIS Solution Suite (ISS) VMS, meant cybersecure, ‘rapid and hassle-free’ installation for Volga’s engineers.
ISS Expert provides control room staff with an ‘easy-to-use’ VMS designed for mission-critical surveillance operations including administration, video wall monitoring, streaming, and recording services. The feature set is designed to allow operators to detect, verify, analyse, and rapidly respond to security and safety events and meet the requirements of regulatory gaming integrity.
The solution from IDIS, ‘encourages honest and fair’ game play and is designed to provide operators with complete visual awareness of the gaming tables, casino floor, lounges, and other key areas.
Muhammet Ali İpek of Volga Elektronik added: “Merit Royal is delighted with the end-to-end IDIS video surveillance solution that meets the complex security demands of world-class casino gaming to create a safe and welcoming environment for VIP guests. We are looking forward to expanding the system across the resort and other Merit International hotels.”
The Merit Royal is said to have plans to extend the system to cover hotel facilities and outdoor areas, featuring two swimming pools, gardens, and a private beach.
