ldquoWorking with the Tuolumne Me-Wuk TribalGaming Agency we could immediately see how the property could benefit froman upgrade that would include a new videomanagement system as well as camerasservers and a new control center to be more efficient in covering the onsite casinohotel and gaming floor and eventuallyexpanding to the exterior sites suchas the parking lotsrdquo added Flowers

The primary goals for Black Oak CasinoResort were to switch to high definitioncameras enhance the virtual matrix capability provide a migration strategy andthe equipment to upgrade to a full internetprotocol (IP)-based system and transitionin a way that would be easy for the securitystaff to adopt The initial project was to bedone in phases over a period of 15 months

ldquoWe started with replacing the existing standard definition analog cameraswith over 400 new high definition (HD)fixed cameras along with HD 1080PPTZ dome camerasrdquo said Flowers

High definition cameras offer securitysurveillance employees and lawenforcement officers superior accessand use of video surveillance with more detail and wider coverage especiallyhelpful for video review and identificationpurposes Although HD images are largerand would naturally take more bandwidthand possibly clog up the IT infrastructurethere have been advancements in the handling of IP-based data streams Uniquedata routing protocols and advanced codecs like H264 are able to compressthe video and audio for transmission with significantly less bandwidth burden

In addition to the new cameras SSI also removed the existing legacy analog video matrix that provided live video and controlof the existing analog pantiltzoom (PTZ)cameras and replaced it with the latestPelco Endura 20 Video ManagementSystem (VMS) The change was made toallow full virtual matrix capabilities suitablefor live surveillance applications (one of
