Arecont Vision Megapixel Cameras Provide HD Quality Surveillance
At Sheraton Hotel in Kuching, Malaysia.
Glendale, CA (May 11, 2009) – Megapixel IP cameras from Arecont Vision provide
detailed, crystal clear images covering large areas at the new Four Points by Sheraton
Hotel in Kuching, Malaysia, owned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., of
White Plains, N.Y., one of the world's largest hotel companies. The Four Points has
recently installed 139 Arecont Vision cameras, for both live monitoring and to enable
operators to zoom in on the details of live and archived video after an event.
"We chose Arecont Vision's megapixel IP cameras because they provide multistreaming
capabilities at various video formats, frame rates and resolutions," said Carl
Lee, Area IT Manager, South East Asia, Starwood Hotels. "The cameras' higher resolutions
provide detailed coverage of larger areas, allowing us to pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ)
electronically within a larger, detailed image area, whether live or on recorded video,
which eliminates the need for conventional PTZ cameras. Arecont Vision cameras in
areas such as the parking lots enable us to recognize vehicle color, license plate
number and even see the driver's face."
The new hotel’s system includes 120 Arecont AV1300M 1.3 megapixel cameras, 11
Arecont AV2100M 2 megapixel cameras, and 8 Arecont AV8180 panoramic color
cameras. The cameras are tied into LuxRiot NVR video surveillance software from A&H
Software House, Inc. and are monitored centrally through 12 LCD monitors fed by seven
NVR servers and three video monitoring systems. All of the cameras are recorded and
displayed in real time.
In choosing the Arecont Vision cameras, Mr. Lee considered energy conservation, low
maintenance costs and longer camera lifespan, as well as the improved security made
possible by highly detailed video images that enable operators to recognize faces. The
LuxRiot NVR provides a stable recording and display platform for high-definition
cameras and also was attractively priced according to Mr. Lee.
The system was designed and distributed by GSF Solutions Sdn Bhd, the Arecont Vision
authorized distributor for Malaysia, and was installed by United Factor Alarm Security
Network and Consultant, a systems integrator in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
“Users all over the world are seeing the clear performance benefits of our megapixel
cameras,” said Steven Sarfati, Senior Vice President of International Sales, Arecont
Vision. “Our installation at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel in Malaysia clearly
demonstrates the compelling economic case for megapixel technology as an
alternative to conventional cameras, suggesting strongly that megapixel cameras are
on track to become the industry's primary means of image capture.”
Arecont Vision offers the industry's broadest line of megapixel IP cameras, including 1.3,
2, 3 and 5 megapixel cameras in color or day/night versions, in addition to the 8
megapixel panoramic cameras. The company provides megapixel performance at
price points comparable to analog cameras, thus opening a broader range of
applications to the technology. Arecont combines H.264 compression and a
proprietary image processing technology to provide greater compression efficiency
that overcomes concerns about bandwidth and storage implications of megapixel
technology.
