Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes required
				  equipment.
(1) Each licensee
				shall install, maintain and operate in the riverboat a closed circuit
				television system in accordance with the specifications in this rule and shall
				provide access and override access for the system to the commission or
				commission's agent. The closed circuit television system must meet or exceed
				the following:
(A) Solid-state,
				black-and-white cameras with minimum four hundred plus (400+) line resolution
				installed in fixed positions with matrix control or with pan, tilt and zoom
				capabilities, or a combination of them, secreted from public and
				non-surveillance personnel view to effectively and clandestinely monitor in
				detail, from various vantage points, non-gaming areas set forth in the
				licensee's surveillance system plan required by
				11 CSR
				45-7.120 and approved by the commission;
(B) Individual solid-state, color television
				cameras with minimum four hundred seventy plus (470+) line resolution with
				matrix or pan, tilt and zoom capabilities, or a combination of them, secreted
				from public and non-surveillance personnel view which is augmented with
				appropriate color corrected lighting to effectively and clandestinely monitor
				in detail from, various vantage points, all views required by
				11 CSR
				45-7.040;
(C) All closed circuit cameras must be routed
				through a central processor before reaching the recorders, and must be equipped
				with lenses of sufficient magnification to allow the surveillance operator to
				clearly distinguish the value of the chips, tokens, cash, ticket-in/ticket-out
				tickets, promotional tickets/coupons and playing cards;
(D) Video monitors that meet or exceed the
				resolution requirement for video cameras with solid-state circuitry, and time
				and date insertion capabilities for recording the images viewed by any camera
				in the system. Each video monitor screen must be of such size that all images
				depicted are clearly discernible by the surveillance operator from his/her
				normal working position, provided, however, every monitor screen must measure
				diagonally at least twelve inches (12") and all controls must be
				front-mounted;
(E) Video printers
				capable of adjustment and possessing the capability to generate
				instantaneously, upon command, a clear, color or black and white, or both, copy
				of the image depicted on the video recording;
(F) Global date and time generators based on
				a synchronized, central or masterclock, recorded on an approved format tape and
				visible on any monitor when recorded;
(G) Wiring to prevent tampering. The system
				and its equipment must be directly and securely wired in a way to prevent
				tampering with the system. The system must be supplemented with a backup
				generator as a power source which is automatically engaged in case of a power
				outage and capable of returning to full power within seven to ten (7-10)
				seconds, and is capable of maintaining power until regular power is
				restored;
(H) An additional
				uninterrupted power supply system capable of sustaining the entire surveillance
				system at full operating capacity until the backup generator achieves full
				power;
(I) Video switchers capable
				of both manual and automatic sequential switching for the entire surveillance
				system;
(J) Video recorders capable
				of producing high quality first generation pictures with a minimum horizontal
				resolution of three hundred fifty plus (350+) lines for black and white and
				three hundred plus (300+) lines for color. Recorders shall be of non-consumer,
				professional or industrial grade recording on a standard one-half (1/2) high,
				VHS tape format or other format approved by the commission, with high speed
				scanning and flickerless playback capability. No recorder shall have a
				recording interval of less than twenty (20) frames per second; except those
				recording four (4) cameras, as provided in subsection (1)(K) of this rule,
				which shall record at no less than fifteen (15) frames per second. By July 1,
				2011 and thereafter, digital video recording (DVR) systems are required to be
				utilized which are capable of storage and playback of images at thirty (30)
				images per second for each camera at four (4) Common Intermediate Format (CIF)
				resolution, ensuring the video compression technology used shall not cause any
				degradation of the images recorded. All DVR equipment and systems shall have:
1. A failure notification system that
				provides an audible, as well as a visual notification of any failure in the
				surveillance system or the DVR media storage system;
2. A media storage system failover configured
				with full redundancy so that a failure of any single component will not result
				in the loss of any data;
3.
				Simultaneous playback and live viewing while recording live images;
				and
4. On any storage media
				produced from the system, the time and date it was recorded superimposed
				thereon, the media player software necessary to view the images, and a video
				verification encryption code (watermark);
(K) Until July 1, 2011, unless otherwise
				approved by the commission, one (1) video recorder is required for each video
				camera viewing entry and exit turnstiles; areas within cashier cages and
				booths, main banks and slot change booths; vaults; count rooms; table games;
				and all stationary fill/change banks on the gaming floor. No more than four (4)
				video cameras shall be recorded on any one (1) video recorder in all other
				areas;
(L) Audio capability in the
				soft count room; and
(M) Adequate
				lighting in all areas where camera coverage is required. The lighting shall be
				of sufficient intensity to produce clear video recording and still picture
				production, and correct color correction where color camera recording is
				required. Video output must demonstrate a clear picture, in existing light
				under normal operating conditions.
