Kuwait Hyatt Regency Hotel Secures Premises with TKH Security
About a year ago, Kuwait’s largest mall – the Al Kout Mall – opened its doors and so became Kuwait’s “largest waterfront retail and leisure centre,” as it proudly reads on their website. The Al Kout boasts 6 luxurious experiences; a mall, a souk, a marina, a fisherman’s wharf, a boardwalk and a 5-star hotel, the Kuwait Hyatt Regency.
Challenge:
For a large-scale project regarding the video security of this hotel, TKH Security’s partner, Delite Engineering Center, realized a fully integrated security solution. The project features cameras from SIQURA, and our access control and video management through IPROTECT AC.
Solution:
- To manage all 350 cameras, TKH Security provided the Kuwait Hyatt Regency hotel with the proven VDG SENSE Video Management software, operated from an internal control room in the hotel.
- To secure and control the monitored and swipe-card doors, IPROTECT AC was installed. It acts as a security management system for access control, CCTV and intruder alarm systems in this project.
- In addition to access control doors, all the cameras can also be monitored and controlled from a single Graphic User Interface (GUI), which is IPROTECT in this case. It also includes the ID card-badging module, so the user card can be printed from the same database as the access cards, which is very convenient.
- Finally, a number of keymaps allow for the creation of icons of readers, door sensors, cameras etc., giving the operator full view and control of the security system of the hotel in one screen.
“The last three big projects we have implemented were all supplied with TKH Security’s technology. However, this is our first joint project in the hospitality industry in Kuwait. And we have high expectations of securing more similar projects in the near future across the Gulf region.”
