Smart video security for the hospitality industry

Hospitality venues are reopening and restarting their operations. The intent is the same as it’s always been: to offer guests the most welcoming, and comfortable experience. But safety has taken on a whole new meaning. The current health crisis may have fundamentally changed the hospitality landscape, yet existing or future video surveillance systems and capabilities are projected to play a crucial role in helping physical security teams do more with less.

According to a recent Ava Security survey, 40% of hospitality venues and hotels already use video surveillance and video monitoring systems to cover reception, check-in, and check-out areas, to help ensure proper procedures are being followed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Why not use those existing cameras to gather extensive video security insights to help with a safe reopening?

Intelligent analytics and real-time incident detection can help hospitality staff track occupancy, prevent overcrowding, and ensure social distancing compliance. Additionally, they can perform contact tracing, streamline operations by optimizing cleaning and energy levels, and improve the overall customer experience.

Deploy Ava’s intelligent video security solutions to stay compliant, maintain an effective loss prevention strategy, identify suspicious or aggressive behavior, and find bottlenecks. Monitor service and cleanliness standards, occupancy, or waiting times in hotels, restaurants, single venues, or multiple locations to focus on what matters the most: delivering exceptional services and keeping your guests, staff, and venues protected.

Increase your situational awareness with maps and live video security footage of people and vehicles of interest. When integrating with access control systems, your security personnel can monitor corridors and private areas for a complete picture of loitering, access to restricted zones, or even active shooter scenarios. 

Empower operators to investigate faster and smarter to search by similarity, appearance, events, objects, or image. Recovering lost or stolen objects, identifying suspicious people and vehicles in and around your perimeter take minutes instead of hours. With fewer resources, your operators can provide compelling evidence and mitigate liability risks.

Accelerate incident response time with Ava’s Smart Search capabilities to investigate, extract and share video security footage of accidents, slip and falls, shrinkage, and unauthorized activity and find people and vehicles of interest within minutes. 

From monitoring the activity in food preparation areas to ensure your employees meet safety regulatory requirements to checking front-of-house workflows and identifying suspicious transactions, Ava’s smart video analytics can help deliver outstanding services with the peace of mind that you’re always on top of security challenges.

Use Ava’s cloud video security maps with Smart Presence™ to watch people and vehicles in their precise on-site locations, live footage, and their paths as they move on the camera field of view. Download and share historical data of occupancy information with store managers to facilitate advanced analysis.
