The Landis Taipei Hotel further offers a variety of high-quality services for both business and leisure, such as limousine services, express laundry, wedding planning, a health and fitness center, exquisite Western and Chinese restaurants, and the Landis SPA, which enhances the perceived value of its guests. Despite all the explicit features, the hotel has not forgotten the fundamental implicit element that constitutes to a world-class hotel - security. In addition to being a place of relaxation, the Landis Taipei Hotel has committed itself to the adoption of a stringent security policy to protect guests and their assets. Hence, the reliable and effective surveillance system is exceptionally important.

The original surveillance solution employed by the hotel was an analogue-based system. Fully recognising the importance of keeping the quality and effectiveness of hotel security, the hotel adopted an IP-based security surveillance solution of Vivotek. Project specifications to include enhanced resolution, clear image quality, wide coverage for the outdoor and parking areas. Based on these specifications, a tailored solution for the Landis Taipei was created.

This solution comprised 5 camera models, including fisheye fixed dome network camera, fixed dome network camera, and fixed network camera. Moreover, Vivotek’s video management software, the ST7501, was also utilised.

The FE8174V and FE8172 are two of the latest fisheye cameras from Vivotek. Both models are equipped with a fisheye lens and a 5 megapixel resolution sensor, making these cameras perfect for monitoring open areas, such as parking lots, streets, and walkways, without blind spots. Four FE8174V models, with vandal-proof IK10-rated and weather-proof IP66-rated housing, are robust choices for the outdoor application. They were mounted on the outer walls of the hotel to provide a complete 180º panoramic view of the outer perimeter. Three FE8172 models were installed to the ceiling of the hotel lobby to achieve a 360 º surround view of the lobby.

There are five FD8134 models installed in separate communal areas in the hotel and one FD8363 was mounted above the main entrance. The FD8134 features a 1 megapixel camera capable of achieving viewing resolutions of 1280 X 800 at 30fps, making this camera an all-in-one solution for the monitoring of designated areas. The FD8363 is a professional 2 megapicel outdoor camera that offers a viewing resolution of 1080p full HD at 30 fps. More importantly, the camera is designed with a removable IR-cut filter, 15-metre IR illuminators and WDR enhancement, providing clear images 24 hours a day and clear visibility under high contrast environments.

Three IP8151 models were installed outside the elevators of the hotel. This camera features a 1.3-megapixel CMOS sensor that achieves a viewing resolution of 1280 X 1024 at 30 fps. The highlight of this camera is its superb night visibility and support for WDR enhancement, making this model perfect for low-light environments and enclosed spaces.

William Ku, Vice President of Vivotek’s International Sales Division, stated, "Hotel security is important to not only the operation and management efficiency of the hotel, but also the safety of customers. Hence, a reliable surveillance system is exceptionally important. Here at Vivotek, we endeavor to develop the best surveillance solutions for our clients and, ultimately, create a safe hotel."
