In the Night Club, IP Speed Dome and IP fixed dome cameras and video server cover the whole club to monitor the daily operation. There are more than 50 channels in the night club.  By using Ortega’s software, all channels will be recorded continuously. Also, Ortega’s software integrates customer’s POS(point of sales) system. To make sure the payment and cash exchange are correct, whenever a cash drawer is opened the camera will be triggered and  to record. There are nine cash drawers in the club. Cameras are installed near the cash drawers and all drawers are protected.
