Video Surveillance System Expansion & Network Video Recording System Installation.

This expansion is a follow-up to the initial project in early 2005, which was performed by Southwest Surveillance Systems.

In early 2006 Biloxi School District asked Southwest Surveillance Systems provided the network video surveillance systems for Gorenflo and Nichols Elementary schools, consisting of 176 channels of i3DVR. Cameras provided were Pelco ICS series. Also reinstalled were the Pelco Spectra III series cameras that survived hurricane Katrina. These schools were extensively rebuilt after receiving heavy damage from hurricane Katrina.

Swinomish Northern Lights Casino is scheduled for completion in 2007. Southwest Surveillance Systems is proud to have been selected by the Swinomish Tribe and the Swinomish Northern Lights Casino as the Integrator to handle the expansion of their Video Surveillance Systems and the installation of their new Digital Recording System.   The system conversion has been accomplished with no significant downtime for the facility, and included the expansion of the Casino's Pelco CM9760 matrix plus the installation of the IBM/Datacom Network Video Recording System.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is responsible for the management of gaming facilities at 18 racetracks and 6 charity casinos throughout Ontario.  In 2007, Southwest Surveillance Systems was chosen to provide and install Synectics Synergy digital recording for all of the sites awarded to date--including the main offices and training centre in London, Ontario. This totals thousands of channels of digital recording, all installed without interruption to any ongoing operations. This rollout is scheduled to continue through 2008 with an ever-growing list of facilities.

Southwest Surveillance Systems provided the design and installation for a turnkey system at the Hollywood Casino Bay in St. Louis. The heart of the system is a DvTel networked digital video recording system with virtual matrix, consisting of over 700 channels for surveillance and a separate network for security consisting of 140 channels. Formerly know as Casino Magic, this property was extensively rebuilt after receiving heavy damage from hurricane Katrina.

Southwest Surveillance Systems provided the surveillance and security equipment the Niagara Falls Casino/Gateway Project. The facility incorporated the largest single-node video matrix in Canada at that time. The video matrix is manufactured by Honeywell (Ademco Video Blox).

Southwest Surveillance Systems was initially chosen to supply and install the Synectics digital recording equipment at Great Blue Heron Casino. Once the design was finalized, Southwest went about changing the entire matrix switch and supplying and installing a brand new Pelco 9780 high-density switch, completely re-designing the Surveillance room, and installing the digital recording. All this was accomplished without any interruption to the daily 24/7 operations and activities of the Casino. Once this extensive project was completed, we were then asked to take out the old security system and replace it with a new Identipass access control system-- again, without interruption to operations.

Following the original supply and installation of all the Ultrak and Pelco surveillance and security equipment at the brand new facility in 1999, and a further upgrade to both systems in 2002, Southwest Surveillance Systems successfully completed a digital recording upgrade using the Synectics Synergy Enterprise System.

Southwest Surveillance Systems moved from the Brantford facility to this new facility in 1999 to provide their surveillance and security solutions and once again has moved from Brantford to Pt. Edward to supply and install the new digital recording upgrade using the Synergy product.
