Casinos in cities like Reno must have a lot of protection to ensure their gaming floor and money remains safe on location. The advanced security features used in a casino offer inspiration for your own security at home, just on a much smaller scale.
Check out some of the home security features inspired by casinos and learn how they can protect your home well into the future.
Overhead Dome Cameras
When you walk through a casino, look up and you will see some of their most sophisticated equipment positioned behind large domes in the ceiling. The domes house the surveillance cameras; in many cases, a dome will house multiple cameras.
The extra cameras cover multiple angles from the same position. One camera may point straight down while others capture other directions. A dome camera installed on the exterior of your home can capture extensive footage of your property. The dome itself protects cameras against weather elements.
A camera pointed downward can capture front door entries. Wide shots can cover driveways and side yard on the property. The cameras give you a full picture of the home's exterior and eliminate any blind spots. With all the cameras in a single location, mounting and maintenance are easy to keep up with.
Multi-Camera Viewer Software
When you have multiple security cameras, you need the proper software to view each angle. In a typical casino security room, camera monitors will include a grid array of every camera angle. Thanks to advanced technology, security companies can grant you access to similar features.
The installation of a security system for your home will include software access for all your camera feeds. Connect to all your camera feeds at the same time through an app on a computer or tablet. With a grid array, you can click on any camera angle to view the footage full size and see more details or watch footage on the grid view.
When you play footage back, you can see all the streams at the same time. The multi-camera view allows you to follow the action from one scene to the next. The controls allow you to view live footage or recorded footage with ease.
Rotating Cameras
Casinos often want to capture blind spots and ensure nothing goes uncaptured. One way to fill in the areas is with rotating cameras. The cameras a reset up with multiple options. Some cameras may move back and forth on their own. Others could have manual controls that allow a casino to position the camera as needed.
The installation of rotating cameras in your home provides the same service. You do not need to go up to the camera itself and physically adjust it. For example, if you wanted to monitor your mailbox more than the driveway, you could use camera controls to change the angle. Program automatic movements to show specific parts of your property at specific times.
Access Control Systems
Many parts of a casino are off-limits to regular patrons. Access control systems help control who comes in and out of your house. An intercom system provides easy ways to communicate and speak to others. Through access control apps or systems built into the home, you can communicate directly to people outside your door.
Access control systems could feature built-in electronics to automatically unlock doors and allow others to enter once you confirm who the person is. A porch camera or doorbell camera allows you to see the video feed while you communicate.
