The Client
Located in London’s iconic West End, The Beaumont Hotel is one of the capital’s most distinctive and admired hotels. Overlooking Brown Hart Gardens, this luxurious 5-star hotel boasts 50 guestrooms, 13 studios and 10 opulent suites within the walls of an art-deco building constructed in 1926.
The Work
iC2 was appointed by The Beaumont in 2013 to design and install an electronic security system throughout the hotel. All entrances, exits, lifts and lift lobbies, restaurants, bars (including the VIP area) and corridors had to be covered to ensure the safety and security of the staff and guests.
The Challenges
It was important that the security solution we provided for The Beaumont didn’t affect the aesthetic of the building or seem imposing. Installation also had to be discrete and iC2’s highly trained team worked with the hotel to ensure as little disruption as possible.
We installed megapixel cameras with infra red which covered of the entire site but didn’t spoil or mar The Beaumont’s distinct appearance. Working with the building’s cabling infrasture iC2 was able to deliver a state-of-the-art security network to The Beaumont which adhered to health and safety and operational compliance and ensured that all personnel inside the building would be safe and secure at all times.
The Results
iC2 installed a total of 74 high definition Avigilon cameras across The Beaumont, providing complete coverage of the hotels key areas. This powerful system uses 5 servers with a total capacity of 50gig, allowing cameras to record 25 frames per second over 31 days.
“iC2 has been very responsive. Their solution is complete and the recording systems offers excellent quality.”
