ayalas 0 Posted June 30, 2011 What are the good and bad reasons to connect a casino surveilance dvrs to a hotel network? Is it a good to have the m.i.s department of the hotel have access to the casino side of the dvrs on a network? Or should the casino have its own network apart from the hotels. Thanx.

Birdman Adam 0 Posted June 30, 2011 With the volume of data from cameras in a casino...I'd think having its own gigabit network would be best... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrar 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Agree with Birdman that a separate network is the way to go. Aside from the network loading concerns of the surveillance system, you don't want anyone to "hack" into the cameras. It really boils down to a "management" decision though. Some want their MIS people to have control of all networking within their facilities and some want the the security aspects totally isolated from everyone and everything else for the obvious reasons. One solution a customer used to keep everyone happy was to enable "white list" access and allow one MIS computer to enter the system which in turn was monitored by the security personnel.

fa chris 0 Posted July 5, 2011 In the US, the gaming commissions in most states have a lot of input on this. Generally nobody gets access to the casino cameras but the casino people and the gaming commission. I would definitively put the casino on it's own network for security and bandwidth reasons if possible. You can create a gateway and connect the DVR to both the casino network and the hotel network if access is needed/required/acceptable. This would only allow access to the DVR, and not to the actual cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
