In Ramada Plaza Astana the video surveillance system is installed

In April, 2016 specialists of ISB-Engineering completed installation and commissioning of an access control system in Ramada Plaza Astana hotel. Works are performed within reconstruction of a security system of five-star hotel which building contains 22 floors. The hotel is expected 229 numbers and is the first five-star hotel from constructed in the new capital of Kazakhstan. The control and management system for access to Ramada Plaza was implemented using the equipment of the Smartec and YGS trademarks.

Usually the control and management system for access in hotel consists of two separate complexes: office ACS for service premises and zones, and a control system of access to hotel rooms. As these subsystems have different functions, and, above all, separate administration and the different list of users, they are under construction independently of each other. At equipment selection for their implementation, except normal criteria of functionality, reliability and the price, in the hotel sphere also the design is important.

As a basis for office control system of access to Ramada Plaza the solution of Smartec company was selected, namely: software of Timex, ST-NC120B network controllers, readers ST-PR060MF and ST-EL250ML electromagnetic locks. Software of Timex is a versatile tool for creation of a system of access restriction to premises and allows to keep a time recording of personnel of hotel.

The control system provides effective time management at the expense of a task of work areas for each employee. The work area is understood as the premises or their group limited to entrance and exit doors with readers here, and only time spent by the employee in work area is considered working time. At the same time the control system of access of Timex allows to consider time in area, individual for each employee. In office part of Ramada Plaza more than 30 points of control of pass which break space of hotel into special zones are organized. Access to these zones is differentiated and resolved separate employee groups.

The control system of access to numbers and service premises of Ramada Plaza Astana hotel (in total more than 300) is implemented using locks and specialized software of production of Taiwanese company of YGS. And the hotel ACS except restriction of pass to the premises has additional functionality:

• Time supervision of accommodation of lodgers;
• The notification on a remaining balance of the paid stay time;
• Accounting of numbers, number of lodgers;
• Inclusion of lighting, vent systems, water supply, conditioning at an input in number;
• Access control of staff of hotel in number and fixation of time of their stay there;
• Control of issue of access cards.

Besides, this control system of access is integrated with a management system for PMS hotel.

Project Development: installation of a video surveillance system

On October 12, 2016 the ISB-Engineering company announced creation of a video surveillance system for increasing the level of security of Ramada Plaza Astana hotel.

The system of IP video surveillance in Ramada Plaza is constructed on the basis of the equipment of Smartec company.

Ramada Plaza Astana hotel, (2016)

In composition of video surveillance of 9 digital 16-channel STNR-1641 and STNR-1642 video recorders with archives 6-12 TB everyone and IP video cameras of different type (dome STC-IPMX3491/4, street STC-IPM3697A/1, rotary STC-IPMX3907A/2). All information is transferred to the central console of observation system where nine 32-inch STM-323 monitors are installed.

Video recorders can record video from IP cameras in real time with a speed of 30 frames per second on each canal (permission of Full HD). At joint work within a video surveillance system with the Smartec NEYRO IP cameras these devices are capable to accept and process the metadata broadcast by cameras - video analytics events. Search in archive of a video surveillance system of the fragments of record connected with specific events and also full-screen display of video from cameras with active events of video analytics is possible.

The Smartec brand equipment successfully combines qualitative indexes and price characteristics. It is shown not only at an installation stage, but also at further system maintenance of video surveillance on an object. Besides, experience of the company repeatedly confirmed reliability of this equipment during creation of a video surveillance system and access control on objects of different type. Yury Savostyanov, director of ISB-Engineering

All elements of a video surveillance system support resolution not below Full HD that allows security service specialists to see clearly clearly the events in video surveillance zones, to prevent wrongful acts, to conduct investigation of incidents. A power supply of cameras is implemented from the system of switches on lines of communication (PoE technology).
