Advanced Surveillance
Casinos and gaming entertainment combine for billions of dollars in business every year and is one of the fastest growing market segments in the world economy.
At the same time, they represent an opportunity for inside crimes or employee theft. The gaming industry has one of the highest theft ratios per employee and per customer in any industry. Surveillance plays a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of the gaming industry. The challenge in this market is that surveillance technology has not kept up with the demand for higher quality imagery, faster recording and more efficient analysis and management of the video data.
The World Casino Protection Organization predicts that high definition (HD) video will be common within casino surveillance in five years. No surveillance vendor has committed to support this market demand to date. Some have even declared they have no plans to develop HD systems. As the industry's desire grows for standard definition (SD) professional-grade broadcast quality video (720x480, 30fps), the gaming businesses have shifted from analog to digital recording. So far, most vendors can only offer consumer-level webcam or security cam images.
Stealth meets this demand in every aspect. Our products offer exceptional digital performance. Our encoder technology specifically answers the needs of the gaming industry for quality video, and the HD video surveillance required for the future. We support the market's current needs and will have HD surveillance products in 2008. This is several years ahead of the industry's timeline for implementing full-scale HD solutions.
