CCTV_Suppliers 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Just curious what people in this forum think of American Dynamics Intellex technology, regardless if it is in DVMS, LT, IP or Ulra versions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 13, 2007 saw one on the Cops DVR down here, was an old version though, the reseller had initially installed it with Win98, the cops had them put Win2K on it, or an upgrade or something like that. They were charged $17K for that DVR!! Course it was the government, which here only puts 10% down, so companies tend to raise the markup pretty high to cover their costs - however, it was PC based meaning it was customs duty free, typically would cost $150 to ship and land the whole unit. Otherwise, didnt really get to play with it, looked okay though and seemed like it did the job. I think they need an upgrade now though, as that seemed to be a very old version.

survtech 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Survtech, the are not only ideal for Casinos, but the gaming industry in Nevada it trying to use their ULTRA SYSTEM AS A NORM OF THE INDUSTRY. Keep on comings my friends... and thank you very much... At one point can give you very in-depth knowledge and how that everyone can buy or sell at much more reaosanble rates ... Thanks our very much for honest answers now and look for some good debates... If you say so. The Nevada Gaming Commission has tried using a number of systems as their "yardstick". From personal experience, I've found most Nevada casinos live in the dark ages as far as Surveillance and CCTV are concerned. I've also tested and evaluated (in no particular order) the Dallmeier, Synectics, Pelco DX and Endura systems, March Networks, Philips, Colby Systems, Nice, an IBM-based blade system (I don't remember the name offhand), the Cisco product (again the name), Veronix (now Lorint), Geutebruck, I3DVR, the Sanyo casino DVRs and a few others whose names I forget. I tested 11 brands before we bought our system in 2003 and more than a few since. I currently manage a 1024-input Honeywell Enterprise (FAST) system with Sanyo DSR-M800's as backup; recording the monitor loops. We have 33 servers and over 250TB of storage.

survtech 0 Posted September 13, 2007 About 70% Pelco DF-5 with CCC1300/1370/1380 cameras, 20% Ganz ZCD domes, a few Ikegami ICD-505's and a few oddballs for fixed; all Pelco Spectra II, III and IV PTZ's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 13, 2007 What kind of wiring, Fiber, or mixed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survtech 0 Posted September 13, 2007 All original video wiring (done in 2000) was RG-59U Plenum. That was about 500,000 feet of video plus 50,000 feet of 18/2 power and 22/2 shielded for control. Five of us pulled it all. Since 2002, we have added an ungodly amount of CAT-5 - 25-pair trunks and 4-pair to the cameras. Mostly passive-passive baluns (a mix of brands, including GVI, Vigitron and a few others). Some active receivers (Vigitron and Pelco). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey bud, thank you for getting us up to par with what is going on... In the recent months we are involved with some casinos in Vegas and the ones that I saw were all Intellex Ultras and according to the users, it sets a standard because the gaming requires a view of any picture 30 frames forward and 30 frames backwards without skipping any frame... and doing so, apparently it is being endorsed by them... Again, I am not in casinos and the only reason we are even involved is because of the IntelleView software, which is a server version that operates with all the registers throughout the casinos and then records all the video in Ultras and the data in the Intelleview... Just curious which system you picked and why? You do not have to mention the model number, but if at least can tell us the make... This way when I am spending some time with manufacturers, I can tell them that they are full of .... you know what... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survtech 0 Posted September 14, 2007 As I said in my post, we purchased the Honeywell Enterprise system made by FAST Video Security (now a division of NICE Systems), but we did not buy the original system through Honeywell. By the way, have you been to the Wynn or Mirage in Vegas? How about: Admiral Sportwetten, Austria Atlantis Casino and Resort Hotel , Bahamas Atlantis City Casino, USA Grand Casino Catez, Slovenia Ho Chunk Casino, Wisconsin, USA Kobarid Casino, Slovenia Kursaal Casino, Interlaken, Switzerland La Courte Oreilles Casino, Wisconsin, USA LCO, Canada MGM Grand at Foxwoods, USA Northern Quest Casino , Washington , USA Park Tower Casino, UK Porteroz Casino, Slovenia Radgona Casino, Slovenia Red Wind Casino, Washington Regents Hotel and Casino, Manitoba Lottery Commission, Winnipeg , CND Richmond Club, Australia Mounties Club, Australia River Rock, Richmond, Canada Schaffhausen Casino, Switzerland Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca , New York , USA Seneca Casino in Niagara , NY , USA Sibaya Casino, South Africa Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort , Michigan , USA St. Gallen Casino, Switzerland Sycuan Casino, USA Tulalip Casino, Washington, USA Victoria Casino, London, UK Wynn Resorts, Macau, Republic of China Zusterna Casino, Slovenia By the way, Steve Wynn is one of the few casino owners who is willing to spend a buck on state-of-the-art surveillance. Whenever I walk through a casino, I take notice of things like camera placement and brand, etc. Most of the casinos are using ancient equipment. I've also been in a few Surveillance rooms and we had better picture quality 10 years ago than many have now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
