SECAM CCTV

Reception runs the system, without calling us every time.

Room locking, common areas, fire detection and staff attendance — in one system reception operates on its own.

When this makes sense

  • The hotel or hostel has a good number of rooms and reception needs to issue and revoke guest access without calling a technician.
  • Common areas — spa, gym, conference room — should only be reachable by guests who've paid for them.
  • Regulations require fire detection, and staff attendance needs to be logged by shift.
  • The building's category rating requires a documented access and safety system.

When it doesn't

  • The property is a small rental with one or two apartments — a plain smart lock may be enough.
  • There's no reception or staff to run the system — a simple remote-code lock is then the better choice.
  • Common areas don't exist, or are freely open to every guest without restriction.

How it works

  1. 01

    Room locks

    Electronic locks open with a card, code or app, and reception issues and changes access for each booking.

  2. 02

    Common areas

    The same system controls entry to the spa, gym or conference room, based on booking type or paid service.

  3. 03

    Fire detection

    Smoke and heat are monitored room by room and along corridors, with a priority signal to the monitoring centre.

  4. 04

    Staff attendance

    Employees clock in with a card or fingerprint, and shifts and overtime are calculated automatically.

  5. 05

    Reception software

    All four lines are visible and managed from one piece of software, with no technician call for routine changes.

Questions

Can reception issue guest access on its own?

Yes, the software is built for reception staff — issuing or revoking access to a room or common area takes seconds per booking.

Is fire detection different from an office system?

The principle is the same, but detector placement follows the rooms, corridors and evacuation routes specific to a hotel, and the signal reaches the monitoring centre as a priority.

Does the system track staff hours?

Yes, attendance terminals work the same way as for any other business — a card or fingerprint logs arrival, and the report goes straight to payroll.

What if a guest loses their room card?

Reception deactivates it and issues a new one in seconds, with no need to physically change the lock.
