Stamis was delighted with his new security camera installation, saying, “We had a number of objectives in mind when refreshing our surveillance system. Because Basler’s BIP2 1300c-dn IP camera delivers 30 fps and because the BIP2-640c-dn can even provide images at 100 fps, certification is no problem for the cameras. One of the main requirements that must be met in the certification process is a frame rate of at least 30 fps. The Jerry’s Nugget casino is certified by the Nevada State Gaming Commission, and whenever an existing security camera installation at the casino is modified, it needs recertification. The unique combination of Basler cameras and TimeSight’s Video Life Cycle Management solution provides high resolution, high frame rate video while reducing the required storage space by up to 90 percent,” Vogt said. “Reaching a constant frame rate of 30 fps in the casino’s low light environment has been a hurdle to adapting megapixel cameras in gaming. After 30 days, the stored images are compressed again, but still exhibit better image quality than the video recorded by analog cameras. The data is stored for a period of seven days - a time period that is critical for casino security - before it is compressed further. To reduce the overall cost of storage, all image data delivered by the Basler IP cameras at Jerry’s Nugget is transferred to the TimeSight servers and managed by TimeSight’s unique Video Lifecycle Management (VLM) process.
MJPEG compression delivers the best image quality but also generates a large amount of data, so MJPEG video streams require a large amount of storage space. To secure the best possible image quality, all images recorded by Basler’s IP cameras are compressed with the MJPEG format and stored on TimeSight servers. By looking at each individual image in the context of a specific situation, the security agents can scrutinize the entire scene, evaluate the situation, and if necessary, inform one of the casino’s 30 security guards. In case of suspicious behavior by a player or an employee, the recorded video data is viewed at a very low speed by one of five surveillance agents in the casino’s security control room. Given the number of IP cameras installed in the cage, all its important areas can be viewed, such as the machines used for counting money and tokens as well as customers’ and employees’ faces.Īt Jerry’s Nugget, all video data is stored for a period of at least four months. With this frame rate, the cameras can detect any irregularities that are too fast for the human eye to see. Even at a luminosity of only about 15 lux, Basler BIP2-1300c-dn IP cameras can deliver crystal-clear images while meeting the required frame rate and needing a maximum exposure time of only 1/30th of a second.Ī number of even faster BIP2-640c-dn IP cameras secure the cage, where they record any activities at 100 fps. In this environment, the low-light capabilities of Basler’s IP cameras come into play. With the cameras’ megapixel resolution CCD sensors, they make it possible for a security operator to identify even the smallest image details such as the face of a playing card on a large gaming table. These cameras were used in the slot machine area and at the gaming tables to thwart any attempted cheating.
Basler’s BIP2-1300c-dn IP camera delivers real-time video data at 30 frames per second (fps) with any type of compression (MJPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264). Stamis decided to use Basler Internet protocol (IP) cameras.
