Info Security Products Guide Selects 3VR’s Hilton Americas-Houston as Winner of the 2010 Best Deployment Scenario Award
Global Leader in Intelligent Surveillance and Search Recognized In Physical Security Category
San Francisco, CA – June 17, 2010 – Today, 3VR Security, Inc, the global leader in intelligent surveillance and search, announced that Info Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, has named its deployment at Hilton Americas-Houston the winner of the 2010 Best Deployment Scenario Award in Physical Security. This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, groundbreaking security solutions that are helping raise the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. The Hilton Americas-Houston implementation was selected based on real world deployments that are making the most positive impact on the security industry.
The 24-story, 1,200-room hotel, located in downtown Houston, is the city’s largest conference hotel with over 91,500 square feet of meeting space. With 3VR’s cutting-edge surveillance technology, Hilton is able to guarantee industry-leading guest safety and security, contributing to its current position as the number-one conference hotel in Houston. 3VR’s sophisticated facial recognition, license plate recognition and advanced motion analytics combine with 3VR’s superior video quality to enable the hotel to identify and investigate in ways that were not possible before, as well as ensure the best possible service for their customers. To read more about this winning security implementation, please read the case study.
Despite the extensive number of surveillance cameras installed by hotels the captured footage is often largely useless. The video data piles up and security teams must sift through hundreds of hours of video when they need to find footage relating to an incident a very time-consuming and unproductive task. With technology that indexes and structures the video to make it searchable, organized and manageable, the 3VR platform is the first solution that makes it possible to find relevant footage in seconds rather than hours and get real value from surveillance. 3VR also provides Hilton with new abilities to identify and address fraud, including employee time theft monitoring and prevention. With more than 700 employees and an annual payroll of more than $16 million, employee time theft has a significant impact. With their previous DVR system it was so time-consuming to crosscheck timecard exceptions and verify that employees were on site when they claimed to be that employee time theft was nearly impossible to avoid.
“Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of Hilton Americas-Houston further validates 3VR’s immense value not only from a security standpoint, but also in taking customer service in the hospitality industry to the next level,” said Al Shipp, CEO of 3VR Security, Inc. “Hilton Americas-Houston is just one example of how our customers are leveraging 3VR technology to improve business operations, fight fraud and improve the guest experience.”
