HD upgrade for hotel

by Mark Rowe

A country house hotel, Down Hall, has upgraded from its legacy analogue CCTV. On the Hertfordshire and Essex border, Down Hall chose IDIS partner, Rutledge Integrated Systems (RIS), as installer of IDIS DirectIP. This comes after the hotel’s refurbishment to include a gym, sauna and steam room.

With experience in fitting DirectIP across hotel and leisure complexes, RIS showed the full-HD and networked surveillance install could keep the impact on hotel operations to a minimum.

Now complete, the first phase of upgrading 70 cameras across the estate included what the security firms call a one-stop-shop and full-HD comprising mega-pixel cameras, network video recorders (NVR), bundled video management software, and network switches. Covering the gym, sauna, steam room, and plant rooms, Down Hall is using the new CCTV for staff and guest safety, and to identify any suspicious behaviour. Retrieval of any footage has reduced from hours to minutes.

Andrew Oxley, General Manager at Down Hall, said: “IDIS DirectIP offered an affordable and compelling HD solution without the worry of on-going license fees. The operational benefits in terms of saving time and the ability to quickly detect and respond to crime are immediate. While we expect to significantly reduce our maintenance costs compared with the legacy system. The RIS team ensured minimum disruption to staff and guests, making sure our new facilities opened on schedule as we head into our busiest period of the year.”

And Andy Rutledge, Managing Director, RIS, added: “Our fifth DirectIP project, we knew we could offer a competitive solution combined with a staged roll out, which allowed us to install in hours rather than days. The intuitive interface, very similar to analogue systems, means we then handed over to staff quickly and with minimum fuss.”
