by AF0127 e5 — January 29, 2010—An innovative wireless surveillance system is helping to cut crime and provide a safe and secure environment for visitors to the Grand Canyon West Resort in Arizona.
IndigoVision’s complete end-to-end IP video system has been deployed at multiple sites, providing an integrated surveillance solution across a wide area.
Grand Canyon West is a popular tourist destination on the west side of the Canyon owned and operated by the Hualapai tribe. The resort includes Skywalk, which allows visitors to “walk the sky” on a horseshoe shaped glass bridge that overhangs the Grand Canyon.
With the IndigoVision system, several sites, including Eagle Point (home of the Skywalk), Guano Point, a hotel, fuel depot and airport, are centrally monitored from the airport terminal building. The facilities are located several miles apart and are completely standalone, with no cabling or infrastructure between them. All the sites are powered by their own generators.
Each local IP network is interconnected using the HughesNet satellite broadband network. There is also a secondary link to Peach Springs, the Hualapai Nation’s capital, which is over 60 miles away from the resort. Each of the remote locations can also be monitored from Peach Springs.
