Security Cameras for Hotels, Motels, and Inns
Security Systems for Hospitality Businesses
Hotel security cameras, though seldom written about perhaps because they are so universally accepted and the benefits so easily understood,
are a major part of our nationwide security camera business.
Anyone who has stayed in a hotel or motel in the last 15 years has surely noticed the security camera monitor behind the front desk with the video of the property there for the staff and the
guests to see. This of course lets the guests, or any unwanted troublemakers, know that the hotel management is using security cameras to monitor lobbies, hallways, pools, and other common areas.
If you are like me, you may have noticed that many of the security camera systems you see behind that front desk look very old. Perhaps the cameras are black and white, perhaps the monitor
is a metal case that almost looks like a TV, but not quite.
These older security camera systems are being replaced daily throughout the country. The modern equivalent of these old systems are IP cameras connected to NVR systems. The acronym NVR stands for "Network Video Recorder",
and it's the component that attaches to the hotel's local area network and records and stores the live video feeds from the cameras. It's also the component that's responsible for controlling
playback and all remote access to the video.

Hotel
Security Cameras
Many companies in the hospitality industry end up replacing their old security camera system to take advantage of improved image
resolutions, extended video retention periods, and enhanced remote viewing and playback through an Android or iOS cell phone app. Additionally, modern surveillance systems are more easily scaled
to allow for future expansion while maintaining a unified user interface.
A few popular cameras that provide a great value for Hotels and Motels nationwide are the GeoVision FishEye camera that can see in 360 degrees. This allows a lobby. or an open common area to be
covered with just one camera. Another popular product would be in outdoor infrared bullet camera. These cameras use infrared light, that's invisible to the naked eye, to illuminate their field of
view and provide a clear image even in total darkness.

Frequently Asked Questions For Hotel Security Systems
How long do wireless security cameras last?
When discussing professional-grade security cameras from manufacturers like Univew, GeoVsion, etc, you will learn that any camera is turned into a wireless camera by adding an external wireless transmitter. This is the most common approach for non-consumer-grade wireless security cameras as it leaves you free to choose booth the best camera and an external wireless transmitter/receiver kit that's most appropriate for the distances involved. Given that approach to implementing a wireless security camera, there is no reason to believe that the lifespan of the camera will be any different if it were wireless or not. Pro Tip - Always ask about the manufacturer's warranty for all products involved, including the camera and the external wireless components.
Are cameras completely wireless?
A completely wireless security camera needs two things, an internal power source, and either an internal video storage device or built-in WiFi / Bluetooth. An example of such a completely wireless camera would be a "trail camera" or "game camera" sold at a sporting good store. Completely wireless security cameras are not, however, common in business applications.
What are compact ways my security footage can be stored?
When video from a security camera is stored on the hard drive of a Network Video Recorder (NVR) it is always compressed. The effectiveness of that compression determines the amount of video the hard drive can store before it becomes full and the older video then is overwritten. This relationship determines the "retention period", usually expressed in days of video, of an NVR system. The current and most effective compression algorithm is H.265. The most compact way to store your footage be sure to use both security cameras and an NVR that support H.265 compression.
