American Company Offers 21st Century Security Enhancement for Hotel Guests

2009-03-24T09:41:00.002+04:00

Like everyone else in the lodging industry, First View Security, maker of the Digital Door Viewer (DDV) is alarmed by crimes aimed at hotel guests and properties.

While lodging properties maintain very high levels of security, technology advances are creating opportunities to enhance guest protection. The DDV is a video system that empowers individual guests to clearly see what is happening in hallways outside of their hotel room doors.

In the past, the first and only information about external activity available to guests came from the tiny peephole in the guestroom door. The team at First View realized that by supplying a superior and safer view, the Digital Door Viewer is not only a product of convenience, but also one that adds a significant security value.

“The Digital Door Viewer has always been about convenience and security,” states First View President, Suzette Fowler, “but what is becoming quite clear is that empowering hotel guests with personal security technology can be extremely valuable in elevating their level of safety. Tactics used by criminals are increasingly bold and sophisticated. Products such as the DDV help to strengthen travelers’ defenses against criminal activity.”

”To use a peephole in order to see what is happening in the hallways is using a 19th century device to combat 21st century threats. The Digital Door Viewer uses an advanced digital camera and LCD monitor to deliver a clear and crisp view into the hallway.
"As anyone who travels is aware, a guest must stand directly against the door to peer through the peephole,” adds Fowler. “With the Digital Door Viewer a guest can stand to the side at arm’s length and still see a large, clear image of what is happening in the hallway on their LCD screen. Why be forced to peep when it is possible to see clearly from a safe distance?”

That is not the only advantage of the DDV. The device also offers the guest a range of view that is many times the area of a standard peephole and with minimum distortion. It is also impossible for anyone on the outside of the door to see into the room. Using AAA batteries, the Digital Door Viewer will operate even during a power outage.

Many hotels and resorts are already installing the Digital Door Viewer to add to the security and comfort of their guests. James Hogg, former director of operations for Skylofts in Las Vegas, stated that he was extremely pleased with the DDVs he installed in the MGM property. “In terms of security,” said Hogg, “the traditional view is just the person in front of the door, but with this technology you see the person directly in front and the person behind him, and the whole corridor.” Hogg added that it is very helpful in complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act because it can be mounted lower on the door and still show the same view of the corridor.

“It’s not difficult to understand that being able to see what is going on around you leads to a increased level of safety and sense of security.” says Fowler. “What is clear is that property owners need to be proactive and not reactive in response to modern security threats. The DDV is a life safety occupancy feature that reduces the danger to hotel room occupants from potentially violent actions.”

Hostar International, Inc. - Press Release

2008-11-04T12:49:00.005+04:00

Back of the House operations need help!

The hotel industry is challenged with delivering quality service for its guests and creating efficient operations in the Back of the House. Many hoteliers currently work with outmoded inventory control and distribution programs that lead to inefficiencies and staffing challenges. Housekeeping operations are faced with inaccurate distribution of materials, operational space inefficiencies, and recruiting/retaining experienced room attendants. Amenity and linen distribution is commonly plagued by poor allocation on the guest floors and inaccurate counts of amenity inventory and linen par. Maldistribution of materials in housekeeping results in higher par levels that affect both cost and labor.

Guest service is compromised when room attendants are consistently challenged to meet room standards and to complete their daily room assignment in a timely manner. Inefficiencies in the delivery of materials to service the guests are a major contributing factor.

Hotels are constantly challenged to recruit experienced room attendants. It is especially difficult to hire and retain workers in cities which have seen the opening of several luxury properties in recent years. Once recruited, staff retention is a major issue because an inefficient operation leads to staff looking elsewhere for employment. The on-going challenge for management is strengthening the hotel’s bond with its employee’s at a time when they are being pursued by other luxury hotels.

Hostar International, Inc. created the ProHost® System to provide solutions for these industry challenges. The ProHost® System is an integrated material management program that offers a repetitive methodology and process that incorporates planning, training and implementation. When the ProHost® System is installed, it results in a repeatable and measurable process that eliminates the current challenges experienced in the Back of the House operations. Hoteliers can identify potential Housekeeping problems before they become an issue resulting in improved guest service. Hoteliers which have installed the ProHost® System report that they are achieving accurate linen and amenity delivery to each floor and section on a daily basis. Another benefit of this system is that Back of the House space is now optimized creating organization that results in improved inventory control and reduced pars. Perhaps most importantly, it has been reported that staff retention rates have increased resulting in less time training new hires, and more time spent on attention to detail.

The ProHost® Mobiles, which are the trolley equipment component of the System, present a professional appearance on the guest floors. The result is improved moral of staff and productivity of the housekeeping department. In some cases hoteliers have noticed qualified staff migrating towards their hotel because they have an organized operation that creates a desirable work environment.

Hostar International, Inc. is experiencing growth worldwide because of the benefits offered through the ProHost® system and the ability to improve the bottom line for managers and owners. With the rapid expansion of serviced apartments and hotels in the Middle East, the ProHost® System is quickly becoming an industry standard. ProHost® Systems are currently in operation in several luxury properties around the world and it looks as if we will be seeing more of Hostar International, Inc. in the future.

SECURING THE BEST PRODUCTS

Security has always been a top priority for the hospitality industry and with this sector booming in the Middle East a host of new high-tech security solutions are offering hotels a choice in how to keep guests feeling secure.

Hotelier October 2008 Issue Cover Page

Hotelier's Techonology Supplement Cover Page

Hotelier's Technology Supplement Page 22

Guest security is a topic of paramount importance to any hotel. It's essential for properties to keep up to date with the latest gadgets to show the guest they take security seriously - and as a result, the past decade has seen a boom in companies supplying security-related products to the region's hotels.

VingCard Elsafe is a division of the ASSA ABLOY Group, a company providing security and hospitality systems to more than 35,000 properties worldwide. Providing locks and electronic in-room safes, VingCard introduced its latest product at the Hotel Show in Dubai in june - the Signature RFID electronic lock.

"It is compatible with NFC-enabled cell phones in order to allow remote check-in and check-out using the guest's cell phone as the key to open room," explains VingCard director of marketing and communication Ivan Aramayo.

American firm First view Security (FVS) designs, manufactures and markets innovative electronic imaging and security products, aiming to replace traditional security items with technologically-advanced versions incorporating luxury design and convenience with security elements.

Commenting on FVS's new Digital Door Viewer, chief operating officer Suzette Fowler explains: "This was designed to replace traditional peephole. The Digital Door Viewer uses a high quality digital camera and a large liquid crystal display panel enclosed in a designer frame to create an electronic viewing system."

Panasonic also boasts a range of security items for hotels, including fully-integrated analog and network security systems combining surveillance cameras, hard disk recorders for surveillance applications and even iris recognition readers.

And with increased competition, firms have realised the necessity for a strong regional presence to stay competitive.

Indeed FVS's Fowler believes the Middle East is a "key market" for the introduction of state-of-the art security products. "The region has assumed a foremost role in producing the class property that defines a significant market for technology and design-forward products," she says.

Panasonic's Yasuo adds that the steady growth of the hospitality market has turned a great deal of attention towards security infrastructur e- noting that continued positive growth predictions for the next few years suggest a bright future for security system suppliers.

But it's not all plain sailing: as in any major market, there are challenges - one of which, as VingCard's Aramayo points out, is that it is essential that products and services measure up to the high quality and service standards expected in the region.

Panasonic's Yasuo adds that although more attention is being paid to security infrastructure in the region, many developers are still hesitant about making the decision to invest in better-quality and more reliable systems.

"In addition, the switch to IP-based security systems is prograssing very slowly in the Middle East,: he continues. "However Panasonic is making great efforts to increase the market awareness of the advantages of IP-based security systems, as opposed to conventional ones. And we do expect the security market in the Middle East to follow that international trend towards IP-based security in the near future."

It seems that the Middle East hotel industry's passion for using the very latest technology in their properties has spread to security as well. And while industry growth continues, seucrity manufaturers and suppliers look set for a bright future. (HME)

Innovative Door Viewers are Replacing Peepholes in Luxury Properties

2008-08-25T15:26:00.007+04:00

What’s the one thing in a luxury guest room that’s the same as in 1930?

The peephole in the door.

Until recently, there has not been an alternative. Now, First View Security of Cleveland, Ohio is introducing its Digital Door Viewer TM (US and Foreign patents pending). The Digital Door Viewer is a sleek and stylish video monitor mounted on the inside of the guest suite door that uses a digital camera to provide a clear and effortless view.

Simply press the button and a live video color image of the entire area outside of the guest room door is displayed on an LCD monitor. The Digital Door Viewer provides your guests with a superior, expanded field of view from a comfortable viewing distance.

According to James Hogg, Former Director of Skylofts at the MGM Grand, “The Digital Door Viewer is a great addition to our lofts. We have been testing one on a pilot basis and our guest feedback has been so positive we will now be placing a large order."The Digital Door Viewer has a number of outstanding benefits, including:

Communication of Exclusivity - “A door with a First View Digital Door Viewer is no ordinary door.”

Superior Performance - guests are impressed by the clear view.

Convenience - "Everyone agrees that peepholes are awkward and difficult to use. Using the Door Viewer is far more agreeable and effortless for all your guests," says Suzette Fowler, company COO.

High Visibility - Your guests will notice.

Investment Payoff - Adding Digital Door Viewers, while a relatively inexpensive investment, guarantees a positive result.

“The response of luxury property managers has been great,” continues Ms. Fowler. "The Door Viewer's value is obvious. Everyone immediately appreciates its contemporary design and superior performance. The peephole has been accepted for so long because it was the only thing available. Now the Digital Door Viewer provides an attractive choice more consistent with a luxury property image.”

More than simply providing a high quality view, with the Door Viewer's sleek lines and sophisticated design, it becomes an important design element in itself and strengthens the overall message of exclusivity. Also, the Door Viewer camera housing and LCD frame can be colored to match the properties design palettes.

In ways never before possible, the Digital Door Viewer dramatically:

Enhances property exclusivity.
Symbolizes attention to detail.
Emphasizes the statement of luxury.
Extends the overall lodging design.

"There are many benefits to selecting the Digital Door Viewer,” says Ms. Fowler. “The Door Viewer is a highly visible technology and style element designed to impress your guests. There is absolutely no question that guests prefer the Door Viewer to a peephole. Upgrading to the Door Viewer is clearly a positive value proposition for luxury properties."

The system is totally integrated and self-contained, functions in a stand-alone manner and requires no connection to external power wiring or external monitor displays. The Digital Door Viewertm is quick and easy to install into new construction or retrofitted to existing guest room doors. The automatic shutoff switch provides guests with an image on demand and at the same time prevents unattended system activation thereby maximizing battery life and number of viewing cycles.

The system uses standard AA batteries, with battery life being 12 months in a typical environment. It is completely self-contained and requires no external wiring or connections.
