Overview
The Surveillance Camera Layout Guide is a practical methodology for designing and evaluating casino surveillance camera coverage. It provides a systematic approach to camera placement that eliminates blind spots, ensures complete gaming floor coverage, and meets regulatory expectations for surveillance system design in Macau and Asia-Pacific gaming jurisdictions.
The guide covers camera placement for every casino operational area: gaming floor (table games, slots, poker), cage and count room operations, VIP and junket rooms, back-of-house areas, parking and perimeter, and administrative areas. For each area, the guide specifies: required camera types, optimal mounting positions, lens selection, coverage overlap requirements, and common blind spot locations to avoid.
The methodology includes a coverage verification framework that surveillance directors can use to audit existing installations and document compliance for regulatory inspection. The guide is applicable for new property design, system upgrades, and ongoing coverage optimisation.
