Achat Hotel implements Dahua DeepHub for modern meetings

Achat Hotel in Bochum, Germany offers comprehensive meeting and conference services, including both accommodation and catering. Due to the ever-increasing demand for interactive meeting amenities, the hotel chose and implemented the Dahua DeepHub Business Solution, providing integrated AI-powered conference and meeting capabilities for its guests. Challenge The 5 flexible and combinable meeting rooms of the Achat Hotel in Bochum can accommodate various types of events, creating a high demand for these facilities. In order to be able to successfully hold forward-thinking events in the digitalised era, such as hybrid events that integrate both in-person and online participants, the hotel needs a modern and user-friendly digital conference solution. Solution "With DeepHub from Dahua, we have found the exact solution," explains Jorge Melendez, Sales Manager at Achat Hotels, adding "We installed a 98-inch DeepHub in our largest conference room. DeepHub impressed us above all with its ease of use. It has both a Windows and an Android interface, so our guests who are familiar with computers or smartphones can use it intuitively straight away. With online sharing and connection via a dongle, our guests don't need to download any software." He continues, "Meetings start faster and participants can focus on the essentials. The 98-inch DeepHub is large and bright enough. In a conference room for 80 people, everyone can see everything clearly without the need to darken the room. The wireless connection makes setting up a meeting incredibly easy. The handwriting function is also excellent – converting handwriting to printed text without any delay in writing is extremely useful." Latest DeepHub Meeting software Nina De Rosa, Director of Achat Hotel in Bochum, said: "The built-in camera makes it easy to make video calls via platforms such as Teams and Zoom. The integrated speakers are of high quality and do not generate background noise. The latest DeepHub Meeting software is very popular with our guests. Especially for those who organise seminars and workshops in our hotel, DeepHub Meeting is extremely convenient." She adds, "It is not only an optimised online conference software, but also offers a variety of practical tools for teamwork, discussions and brainstorming. Online participants can also use the free DeepHub Meeting app to take part in the on-site seminar and get actively involved." Results The Dahua DeepHub Business Meeting Solution has elevated the conference rooms, event venues, and other facilities of the Achat Hotel in Bochum, taking it to the next level. It not only changed the way the hotel holds meetings, but also significantly enhanced the experience and satisfaction of their guests. Markuz Metz, Technician at Achat Hotel in Bochum, said, "Dahua provides robust and easy-to-move stands with wheels for each DeepHub. We have just purchased a second 86-inch DeepHub. During the European Championship soccer season, we were able to move the DeepHub onto the terrace in the evening so that our guests could watch soccer matches together." He adds, "And the same device is used for workshops and seminars during the day. We can even set up the DeepHub in the bar. It's not just a screen, but also an interactive platform that offers our guests many entertainment options."

Anviz transforms traditional property management into a smart reality, making digitisation more than just talk
Anviz transforms traditional property management into a smart reality, making digitisation more than just talk

The Middle East has recently expanded its real estate market as the region's economy grows and urbanisation accelerates. This trend has led to an increasing demand for smart security, and the pace of digital intelligence change is gradually increasing. The security industry in the Middle East is rapidly growing, driven by the government's strong emphasis on national security and terrorism prevention. Centralised systems management Significant attention and investment have been directed toward this sector, estimated to grow at about 10% per year. There is no doubt that the Middle East has become one of the most important and fastest-growing security markets in the world. While traditional real estate management requires a location-based approach, the digital transformation of the marketplace means that centralised systems management will replace the traditional approach, and that's exactly what Provis is starting to think about. The customer Provis is a property management company based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Provis is a property management company based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With over 25,000 units under property management, over 28,000 units under Owners’ Association management, and thousands of properties sold and leased. Based on their accumulated in-depth industry knowledge, and technical expertise, it is their commitment to provide sustainable value-added services through the assets of their clients.  Integrated service solutions To provide integrated service solutions based on international standards, allowing clients to focus on their core business with peace of mind, thereby setting a new benchmark for integrated real estate service solutions globally. For its owners to centrally manage their users and deliver smarter, easier real estate solutions to their customers, Provis turned to Anviz's integrator partners, PROGRESS SECURITY & SAFETY SYSTEMS and MEDC, for assistance. The challenge The company's business continues to grow and expand across various regions of the country Traditional property management in the UAE local area is inefficient and intensive, property managers need to spend a lot of time and energy to manually deal with those complicated and repetitive work. Conventional management is unable to effectively analyse a large amount of data, making it difficult to provide a basis for decision-making. Impact on user experience The delay and errors of manual processing are the very drawbacks that can be precisely removed in information management. Moreover, as the company's business continues to grow and expand across various regions of the country, the practice of processing information in a decentralised manner by location not only tends to create information silos, making it difficult to integrate and share data but also leads to delays in customer service due to lack of information exchange, thereby affecting user experience and the corporate image. The solution Thinking about the cut-and-dry and providing a heartfelt service Face Deep 3 maximises supports up to 10,000 dynamic face databases and quickly identifies users within 2 metres No matter whether in the youthful campus or orderly government and other places, there will be the movement of people. Quickly and accurately checking people is a basic requirement for front-end devices, and their Face Deep 3 maximises this need. It supports up to 10,000 dynamic face databases and quickly identifies users within 2 metres (6.5 feet) in less than 0.3 seconds, with customised alerts and various reports. The Account Manager of Provis said, "In the past, we always struggled with the data integration of multi-point control. Having used terminal devices and software that were not part of a single system, we found that it had no linkage effect and could not solve the problem of event recording and data sharing. And location-based time and attendance solutions were ineffective in centralising user management." Perspective of the CrossChex system Based on the scenario of property management, the personnel are scanned and inspected by Face Deep 3 and then redirected to the management department through the CrossChex application and CrossChex Cloud Web software to achieve data sharing and transfer.  Thus, the workflow of the property personnel is streamlined and standardised. Efficiency and cost management  CrossChex system integrates the property work content in an all-round and multi-dimensional way From the perspective of the CrossChex system, it integrates the property work content in an all-round and multi-dimensional way, which makes property management more scientific and orderly, improves management efficiency, and reduces cost. Meanwhile, the CrossChex system adopts a centralised management approach to gather all the information resources on a single platform. It also supports integration with ERP solutions to facilitate integrated management, which can reduce manpower and improve efficiency. The benefits Precision management, digital intelligence service CrossChex Cloud, as a software platform with customised functions based on customer scenarios, combined with Face Deep 3, which is embedded with the most updated technological algorithms, seamlessly handles the data of people's movements and promptly processes the event records to form multi-form visualisation reports.  Additionally, it supports business customisation and expansion to meet different business needs. It provides safe and reliable data encryption and rights management to protect user information security. Client’s quote Provis' Project Manager said, "Choosing to use Anviz's time attendance devices and cloud-based platform, allowed us to solve 89% of the repetitive steps for our owners' property management matters, making our brand image more visible."

Exploring remote security solutions with Verkada in San Luis Obispo
Exploring remote security solutions with Verkada in San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo (SLO), the gem of California's central coast, is renowned for its picturesque vineyards, historic architecture, and vibrant community life. Quiet but lively, it is also home to the California Polytechnic State University, located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Ensuring safety and security Because of its distance from major metropolitan areas, SLO has retained its rural, small-town character, along with a bustling downtown and beautifully preserved Spanish Mission.  The San Luis Obispo Police Department (SLOPD) is focused on ensuring safety and security across expansive terrains, reducing crime, and enhancing the quality of life while upholding the principles of service and integrity.  The challenge The secluded Reservoir Canyon is just one area that has been a hotspot for vehicle break-ins For San Luis Obispo, two priorities were crime prevention and the protection of sprawling outdoor spaces popular for hiking and biking. Hidden from public view, the secluded Reservoir Canyon is just one area that has been a hotspot for vehicle break-ins. However, its remote nature made installing a traditional security system nearly impossible. The initial cost to secure three city parking structures was also cost-prohibitive, with quotes of over $1 million for network connectivity alone. Need for a robust and reliable solution "We've dealt with products that were essentially consumer-grade equipment repackaged as professional security solutions,” said Chad Pfarr, Administrative Lieutenant. "We needed a more robust and reliable solution. Creating our own was time-consuming and beyond our expertise, highlighting the need for a specialised, cost-effective solution.” Why Verkada A system that could operate in remote locations, areas typically beyond the reach of standard CCTV “We were drawn to the hardware and software quality. But what truly set Verkada apart was the willingness to innovate in ways that traditional security solutions did not. We can now bring Verkada devices into the wild, in the middle of nowhere, without traditional city network infrastructure." A system that could operate in remote locations, areas typically beyond the reach of standard CCTV technology was a leap forward for community safety. Use cases include: Protecting remote locations with the GC31 Cellular Gateway. Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) monitoring to streamline vehicle investigations. Protecting evidence in cold storage with Air Quality Sensors. Improving check-in and registrant compliance with Workplace solutions. "Verkada's willingness to venture into uncharted territory with us to ensure security systems could be deployed where they were most needed, regardless of existing connectivity, was what got us so excited. Beyond just adapting to what’s available, it’s continuously improving to meet our needs." Protecting remote locations with the cellular gateway In San Luis Obispo, the GC31 Cellular Gateway bridges the gap between the need for remote security and limited infrastructure. The police department protects areas previously deemed inaccessible without the high costs of traditional network installations, leading to savings of over $1 million for connectivity alone. Bridging the connectivity gap "Before Verkada, the idea of installing a security system in remote locations was a logistical nightmare. The cost of establishing connectivity alone was prohibitive, not to mention the technical hurdles of operating without power or a network." "But with the Cellular Gateway, we've been able to overcome these barriers, bringing security and peace of mind to once vulnerable areas." Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) capabilities SLOPD can install Verkada products in locations that are hard to wire or lack connectivity SLOPD can install Verkada products in locations that are hard to wire or lack connectivity, such as parking lots, construction sites, trailheads, and natural terrain. Within the city, the GC31 also protects busy intersections by supporting cameras with Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) capabilities. Streamline vehicle investigations Paired with the cellular gateway, CB62 outdoor bullet cameras are deployed on streetlight poles to monitor moving traffic, covering up to three lanes with a single camera. Using Verkada’s edge-based processing and computer vision technology, the LPR solution captures licence plates at speeds of up to 80 mph (128 kph). Flexibility and versatility The cameras' versatility in both covert and overt operations allows SLOPD to adapt its security tactics The cameras' versatility in both covert and overt operations allows SLOPD to adapt its security tactics to each location. This includes monitoring busy intersections, remote trailheads, or railroad crossings. This flexibility is crucial in a community that values its open spaces and balances accessibility with safety. "We've not only deterred potential criminal activities but also enhanced the overall safety for residents and visitors alike. The ability to monitor these areas remotely has been a game-changer, allowing us to extend our reach without stretching our resources too thin." Protecting evidence in cold storage with air quality sensors The introduction of Verkada's air quality sensors into the SLPD’s evidence management protocol has marked a significant improvement in securing critical evidence that requires refrigeration. “Sensors protect the evidence entrusted to us." "They monitor the conditions within our cold storage facilities in real-time, ensuring that any deviation from the norm is immediately flagged. This allows us to act swiftly to address any issues before they impact the evidence.” Sensors mitigate the risk of loss and help maintain the overall integrity of the evidence, which is crucial for the judicial process. Ensuring that evidence is stored under optimal conditions preserves its validity and reliability, which can be decisive in court cases. Guest and Workplace Solutions Verkada Guest supports security and compliance as well as administrative processes At the police department, Verkada Guest supports security and compliance as well as administrative processes and community interactions.  "We're not just looking at improving how we manage security systems; we're also opening up opportunities to better serve our community in every interaction they have with us. This is about making our department more accessible, efficient, and responsive to the needs of San Luis Obispo.” Automated notification "Registrants can sign in digitally, similar to the check-in process at a doctor's office. This system automatically notifies the assigned detective, who can then prepare before meeting the registrant." "It's a welcome shift from our current, more manual process, and we're excited about the potential to make our operations more efficient while improving the experience for everyone involved.” Digitisation of visitor check-in The registration of certain types of visitors is a legal requirement that, until now, has placed a burden The registration of certain types of visitors is a legal requirement that, until now, has placed a burden on the department's space and resources. By digitising the initial check-in and form completion process, the department can handle sensitive registrations with greater discretion and efficiency. "We can integrate specific forms and requirements into the Guest system." Minimising congestion "This customisation ensures that we can maintain legal compliance while respecting the needs of our community and the constraints we operate under." "Guest reduces wait times, frees up essential space in the lobby, and minimises the congestion that can occur during peak registration periods.” Solar and Battery SLOPD is also exploring alternate power options to enable more deployments across San Luis Obispo, further ensuring the safety and security of their community. "Our partnership with Verkada has already improved our operations. The next step involves incorporating solar and battery backup systems for our cameras and bridge devices. This will not only expand our public safety reach but also ensure that our security measures are sustainable and resilient against power outages."
