Mobotix IP video surveillance technology protects the Pinto Arts Hotel

Mobotix has been chosen by the Hotel Las Artes de Pinto (Madrid) to improve security with megapixel cameras from this manufacturer of video surveillance network systems.

The Hotel Las Artes de Pinto, located in this town in the south of Madrid, It is a three-star establishment that offers 120 rooms, eleven convertible rooms for business meetings and other events (with capacity for three hundred people), restaurant and bar-cafeteria.

The installation of a video surveillance system to guarantee security protection in this facility has been one of the essential elements for HZ Inversiones, parent company of the hotel group, that after analyzing the proposals of several manufacturers selected the manufacturer's IP cameras Mobotix.

In this sense, The security project is based on the installation of nine Mobotix cameras, specifically the Q24 models, D12 and D24, connected by Ethernet to the recorder with a Gigabit switch that has remote access enabled from outside the hotel.

The Q24 cameras are installed on the ceiling (covering 360º coverage) and on the wall (covering 180º). Thus, A single camera in each of the areas you want to monitor is enough, since the entire stay is covered. The D12 and D24 model cameras incorporate L22 lenses, that cover 90 degrees (with two lenses in the case of the D12 system).

One of the challenges of implementing the video surveillance system was not to disturb the stay of hotel guests and to ensure that everything was discreet.. This is explained by a person in charge of the Hotel de las Artes de Pinto: “We like the discretion and at the same time the versatility that Mobotix cameras have, especially the Q24 model. Its discreet and modern design can integrate into the aesthetics of a hotel like ours without attracting attention., And that's more than we expected.".

For this hotel manager, One of the benefits of this video surveillance installation has been that “thanks to the viewing angle and high resolution of the cameras, more areas can be covered with fewer devices.”. We have the most powerful system on the market and at a lower cost than other manufacturers, so we are more than satisfied”.

Precisely, the decentralized concept of Mobotix technology, which consists of each camera having a high-power computer integrated and, if required, a digital memory (SD card) for long recordings, It has been another of the great benefits. The computer is not only used to view images, but also to process and record them, so that the cameras can record by events, even without being connected to a computer, and save them in the fixed video memory with sound in digital format.
