Casinos
Video surveillance in casinos and the whole gambling industry is a necessity. There is a high need in properly monitoring these facilities. Most facilities are open 24 hours a day, are huge in surface, have a constant flow of money and people and therefore invite criminal behaviour. Theft, pick pocketing, physical assault or cheating during games by guests and even employees are not insuperable in this industry.
A proper surveillance system is required to protect players and the gaming industry against this crime. Surveillance in casinos and the gaming industry can improve:
- Visible security
