A few years ago, before the conception of IP cameras the analogue camera was "king". Selecting the camera with the right lens which was able to identify the cards, money denominations, type of chips and the number of them was critical to the success of the surveillance system. The clearer the image the easier it is to satisfy any customer disputes and hopefully improve the taking on the table. The following blog I will concentrate on the roulette table however, the same guidelines and considerations also apply to card table. Over the years the gaming table surveillance camera technology has greatly improved with the advent of the IP camera over the original analogue models. The conventional camera position has always been in the ceiling from the wheel end of the roulette table. However, as the architects and designers provide casinos with increasingly more stunning backdrops and exceptional lighting effects it becomes more difficult to provide the surveillance image that the casino management need.
