Casinos

The challenge

Casinos operate some of the most demanding video surveillance environments in the world. Gaming floors, cages, count rooms, entrances, parking areas, restaurants, hotels, and back-of-house operations can require hundreds or thousands of cameras recording continuously. Gaming regulators also place significant expectations on image clarity, system reliability, and video retention. As camera resolutions and frame rates increase, the amount of storage required grows rapidly.

How MARCIA™ helps

MARCIA™ gives casino surveillance teams a more economical way to preserve that increasingly valuable video. By combining high-performance disk storage with automated LTO long-term storage, MARCIA reduces the need to keep every hour of recorded video on expensive primary disk. This can make it economically practical to record at higher resolutions and frame rates without forcing surveillance managers to continually trade image quality against retention.

Better video, better outcomes

Better video creates better outcomes. Higher-quality retained footage can improve game protection investigations, patron dispute resolution, employee investigations, fraud detection, liability defense, and post-event analytics. Longer visual history can also provide future AI and analytics systems with a much larger body of historical evidence to examine.

No new workflow for operators

Most importantly, MARCIA is designed to keep the storage architecture transparent to the surveillance operator. When historical footage is needed, the operator uses the familiar VMS timeline. MARCIA manages the long-term storage and retrieval process behind the scenes, helping casinos preserve more Trusted Visual Evidence without turning long-term retention into a complex IT exercise.
