Oxygino deploys Video Camera for remote management: GeckoTech has successfully completed the deployment of Bohio Grill’s 6th camera as part of GT’s DVR-Manage service. Now, the owner’s of Bohio Grill, are able to monitor activity in 3 of their locations. Bohio Grill itself (Jaco), Bubbas (Jaco), and Oxygino (SJO). The Bohio Grill owners now have a single log-in from which they can view all 6 cameras simultaneously from the convenience of their home.. Or anywhere for that matter. Hats off to Nelson’s deployment team for making this solution a reality. GeckoTech is hopeful to have 2 more cameras deployed to two new locations (part of the Bohio Grill Group) within the next 30 days.
Video On Demand services pass first round of testing: GeckoTech has compeleted its first round of testing on its “entry level” video on demand services. The VoD solution will be offered as a managed service, and will be a total solution supported through GT’s Convenience Practice area. The solution allows for the deployment of low cost VoD players that will be installed in hotel rooms and condomimiums. These players will, in turn, be able to access video content maintained on servers to be colocated on the physical properties. This solution will allow the HOA or Developer to create new revenue streams using VoD services. Pricing is expected to be standardised over the next 60 days.
Smart Thermostat Integration: GeckoTech will launch its “intelligent” thermostat technology this month. This technology is expected to offer substantial savings in energy consumption by using intelligent, web controlled AC thermostat systems. Property managers are VERY interested in this solution as it will allow them to save significantly on utility expense. No longer will the PM be required to dispatch staff to the property to “turn off” the AC when a guest checks out. In today’s economy, this solution will be a “win win” for both PM and unit owners alike.
