 Synectics’ enterprise-class digital recording system is designed to operate in the most secure surveillance environments in the world. Few monitored facilities demand more from their video systems than casinos, racetracks and related gaming establishments. These high-traffic, tightly regulated, cash-intensive businesses record hundreds of cameras, must distinguish card suits and currency denominations, and require unparalleled reliability, integration and scalability. That’s why Synectics has become the gaming industry’s leading supplier for turnkey DVR solutions.
Synectics Modular Digital Recording System (MDRS) can record an unlimited number of cameras for any period of time and play back recorded video locally or remotely on any number of view stations. Real time (30FPS), full frame (4CIF) video is recorded in motion picture quality MPEG2 or H264, which enables reviewers to detect slight of hand movements, card or chip types from ceiling cameras, even in typically poor lighting. Yet, Synectics’ data-efficient compression technology uses minimum storage to achieve optimum picture clarity.
Synectics products work like the casino’s they operate in… 24/7, 365 days a year. Each Primary Storage Node (PSN) is built with server-rated components, redundant power supplies, and RAID 5 or 6, hot-swap storage arrays to insure maximum uptime. Synectics’ solution is engineered with a simplified networking architecture that eliminates any single point of failure. Modular encoder chips can be replaced in minutes by staff technicians. And, the entire video area network (VAN) is protected by Synergy Hot Swap technology that automatically fails over to standby PSNs in 1 second when any PSN or single encoder channel in the enterprise fails. Moreover, Synergy keeps track of video stored on the primary and failover PSNs so operators seamlessly retrieve video after the fact without cumbersome record keeping.
Synergy, Synectics’ award-winning command and control user interface, bridges the gap between pre-existing analogue cameras and matrices and today’s digital recording systems. From Synergy’s map-based, touch screen view station, operators can simultaneously move PTZ cameras, switch cameras on the monitor wall, view live and recorded video, open/close mantrap doors, or process alarms from fire, slot management or other third party systems. With Synergy, casinos can cost effectively integrate legacy third party analogue switchers, cameras, point of sale, access control, fire/building alarm and player tracking systems to Synectics digital recorders for unparalleled efficiency.
Finally, Synectics streamlines the functions most commonly performed by casino surveillance operators. Dubbing multiple cameras, creating clips, incidents and incident reports, following cash drops, searching for missing items, moving to PTZ preset positions, etc. are automated tools that come standard with every Synectics system. Both security and surveillance Directors appreciate Synergy’s air-tight security and underlying data base that tracks every keystroke and user activity and can present it in dozens of user definable management audit reports.
Simple to use, built to last and designed for the casino marketplace............ Synectics is making security work together.
