Network Video Technologies announced the Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca, N.Y., is using NVT s equipment to transmit video signals from cameras to monitors using unshielded twisted-pair wire, delivering video while simplifying system installation. The Seneca Allegany Casino is a newly opened Native American-owned property near Buffalo, N.Y.

Tim Lyver, project manager for Dallmann Systems, the systems designer and integrator, estimates the casino saved about 30 percent in labor costs by using NVT equipment rather than coaxial cable and an additional 25 percent in cable costs by using 100-pair feeder cables to bring video back from multiple IDF closets. Cable runs between cameras and recorders at the casino range from 50 feet to 1,500 feet.

The Seneca Allegany Casino is using active NVT hubs and passive transceivers with a Pelco CM9760 matrix switch and an AlphaPoint digital recording system. All cameras are Pelco.
