Gaming & Casino Solutions

Protect the bottom line with an integrated network platform

Casinos require advanced security systems, specifically acute video surveillance, to reduce fraud, increase safety, and protect the bottom line more than any other vertical market. Next Level offers an attractive unified package ideal for casinos both large and small that can simultaneously watch over gaming tables, manage access to controlled areas and oversee and evaluate guest traffic. The NLSS Security Platform is a cost-effective solution that leverages the power of the IT infrastructure to correlate information from video surveillance, analytics, access control, alarm management and VoIP into a consolidated interface.  Combining this critical data increases situational awareness which in turn provides investigators and surveillance operators with the tools needed to mitigate fraud and cheating quickly and efficiently.

Specific Benefits of the NLSS Security Platform for Casinos

End-to-End Integration from the Ground Up

The NLSS Security Platform is a cost-effective solution that is ideal for casinos and gaming environments, both large and small. The NLSS Security Platform combines essential security elements such as access control, intelligent analytics, VoIP, remote accessibility and video management into a single platform. Instead of piecing together separate components from various vendors through costly and time-consuming custom integration, the NLSS Gateway — the core of the NLSS Security Platform — integrates traditionally separate subsystems into a single platform enabling the entire solution to be easily installed, managed and operated through a single user interface. This drastically reduces deployment and maintenance costs while making the entire system more intuitive.

Detailed Picture Quality

Casinos rely on advanced picture quality to catch even the smallest details from gaming tables. Because the NLSS Security Platform is complient with industry standards, casinos have the flexibility to choose the camera that works best for them, including the latest HD and megapixel cameras.  The NLSS HD Media Decoder will display up to 4 live HD streams simultaneously to any LCD, LED or Platform display.  Update spot monitors to HD performance and help surveillance operators monitor live video with a crystal clear display. 

Lower Cost of Ownership

Because the NLSS Security Platform is fully networked, casinos are able to lower cost of ownership as they can leverage the existing IT infrastructures. There is no additional cabling or proprietary hardware needed to run and manage the system.

Faster Response Times with Video Analytics and a Consolidated Interface

The advanced feature sets of the NLSS Security Platform are completely integrated from the ground up so that they operate on a single, consolidated interface.  When this data is correlated, security personnel are given a more comprehensive view of casino operations which enables increased situational awareness for faster response times.  Search through hours of video footage for events quickly and easliy by activating specific rules from video analytics.  A process that would have taken hours locating specific events on tape-based VCRs or standard DVRs, can now be done in a matter of seconds. 

Furthermore, the NLSS Security Platform, the NLSS Gateway and the NLSS Gateway Micro include analytics at no additional cost and no per channel fees. Next Level’s advanced video analytics include:

• Facial grabbing and recognition to identify known fraudsters. Casinos can check captured faces against watch lists of known criminals.
• Suspicious behaviors in pit areas. These analytics can alert operators of suspicious and potentially fraudulent activities.
• People counting helps casinos manage staffing levels during peak hours
• Loitering identifies potentially distracting group behavior before an incident occurs
• Entry and exit monitoring to manage traffic levels at specific gaming areas such as slots or tournament tables
• Object left behind identifies items of specific sizes left in previously marked areas
• License plate recognition to check against license plate identifiers against criminal watch lists

Take Messaging to the Next Level

With the NLSS HD Media Decoder, casinos can update once-static digital signs to eye-catching digital displays complete with audio capability for multi-purpose digital messaging. The NLSS HD Media Decoder can stream virtually any video content to a display monitor in a variety of layouts and sequences. Gaming facilities can highlight upcoming customer specials, directions to restaurants or bars, advertising, breaking news, upcoming tournaments or other public messaging. Best of all, since the decoder operates over the network, the content can be updated from a central location.
