CASE STUDIES

Watching the games
people play
As the Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma began to expand
its casino operations,
tribal leaders realized
that many of their
facilities had outgrown
the limitations of their
existing analog system.
In looking to modernize
their security system,
they sought an open IP-based
solution that would
provide secure,
evidentiary-quality
video recordings,
operate at 30 frames per
second and would be easy
to set up and expand.
Choctaw Nation's own
onsite team worked with
Axis partners –
ConnectionsIT and
CameraWatch Technologies
– to install an array of
Axis fixed dome and PTZ
network cameras.

High security at
high elevations
After 40 years of
service, STA decided to
replace the old Renon
cable car in Bolzano,
Italy, to improve
security and efficiency
and encourage citizens
to use public transport.
STA was looking for a
faster, more spacious
and technologically-advanced
solution, including a
wireless video
surveillance system
active both along the
route and inside the
cars. The bid was won by
Leitner Technologies,
specializing in the
design and construction
of cable-car systems
worldwide. Leitner,
together with its
technology partner
PlanTec, specializing in
the design and
implementation of high-tech
systems, presented the
winning project which
encompassed the
installation of Axis
network cameras.
