Dallmeier International has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to supply and commission the world’s largest digital matrix surveillance system in The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel

Now under construction, the venetian Macao Resort Hotel – a $US1.8 billion development mirroring its Las Vegas namesake – is the anchor property of the Cotai Strip of Macao (Asia’s own Las Vegas), an area of reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane.

The 10.5 million square feet Venetian Macao is a 3,000-suite ‘Mega Resort’ including an hotel, casino, convention and meeting facilities, an events centre, restaurants and retail space. The casino will consist of 546,000 square feet of gaming floor and play host to more than 6,000 slot machines and 700 table games.

The Dallmeier solution for The Venetian Macao Casino – comprising hardware, software, monitoring and transmission components – provides full resolution, real-time surveillance.

Phase One of the Cotai Strip system comprises both fixed and PTZ (dome) cameras monitoring the casino, restaurants and hotel. Additionally, monitoring of the cameras from the installation completed in 2004 at the Sands Macao Casino will take place in the Venetian Macao Control Room.

Decentralised recording is carried out by Dallmeier’s DIS-2M streaming servers (DVRs). Recorded data are written to two hard disks (per DVR) by mirrored recording.
