1. What are the safety hazards of LED display screens in unmanned scenarios?
1). Exposed installation location and easy to disassemble
1.1). Risk of equipment theft
In unmanned hotels, if the LED display screen is installed in places that are easy for people to touch.
Such as the lobby and corridor, and is not installed firmly enough, such as fixed with a few screws, then thieves can easily remove it and steal it.
For example, if the small LED information screen in the hotel lobby is installed low and has no other protection, thieves can pass by and steal it, and the hotel will lose money in vain.
For larger LED display screens, the circuit boards and chips inside are also valuable.
If the protection is not in place, these parts may also be stolen, causing the display screen to “strike,” which is expensive and time-consuming to repair.
1.2). Risk of equipment damage
If the LED display screen of an unmanned hotel is loosely installed, it is easy for bad guys to target it.
For example, if the content on the screen makes someone unhappy or someone just wants to make trouble, they may remove the parts of the display screen and throw them away or smash them.
This kind of vandalism not only prevents the display screen from displaying normally but also may cause other safety problems, such as broken parts falling and hitting guests.
Moreover, the display screen of an unmanned hotel is more likely to be damaged at night or when there are few guests because no one will find it in time.
2). Lack of physical protection and monitoring linkage
2.1). Risk of intrusion
If the LED display screen of an unmanned hotel does not have protective devices, such as no strong shell or guardrail, it is easy for bad guys to take advantage of loopholes.
They may sneak into the display screen and change the displayed content. For example, if the LED screen in the hotel lobby is hacked, it may play some illegal and uncomfortable content, which will discredit the hotel.
Bad guys may also damage the parts inside the display screen, making the screen unusable, and the hotel will have to spend more money to repair it, which will also affect normal business.
2.2). Data leakage risk
If the control system of the LED display screen is not protected, hackers can invade the network and take away the data inside.
These data may include copyright information of the content played, equipment operating parameters, and even sensitive content such as hotel operation data and customer information.
Data leakage will not only damage the interests of the hotel but also may leak the privacy of guests.
Moreover, if there is no monitoring and alarm system, when someone tampers with the display screen.
Or there are suspicious activities around, no one can detect and stop it in time, and the loss may become greater and greater.
3). No staff patrol at night
3.1). Increased risk of theft and damage
Unmanned hotels have no staff patrolling at night, which provides opportunities for thieves and vandals.
They can use tools to dismantle and smash the LED display screen in the dead of night.
For example, the LED display screen outside the hotel is easy to target if no one is watching at night.
In addition, animals may also come to make trouble at night.
For example, birds may build nests in the corners of the display screen, damaging the outer shell or the wiring inside.
Mice may chew the wires, causing a short circuit, making the display screen unusable, and may also cause a fire.
3.2). Faults cannot be discovered and repaired in time
If the LED display screen fails, such as the lamp beads being broken or the screen being black, it is difficult to find it at a time when no one is patrolling at night.
In this way, the display screen may always be broken, affecting normal use.
For unmanned hotels, the display screen may be used to display hotel information and guide guests.
If it is broken and no one repairs it, it will be very inconvenient for guests and affect their stay experience.
Moreover, if the fault is not discovered and repaired, it may make the problem worse.
For example, broken parts may affect other parts, or in bad weather, the fault will be more serious, and it will be more troublesome and expensive to repair.
4). Outdoor equipment is easily targeted by criminals
4.1). Risk of criminal targets
The outdoor LED display screen of unmanned hotels is quite valuable. The hardware itself is valuable.
If it is used for commercial advertising, it also has commercial value, which makes it easy to become a target of criminals.
Criminal gangs may organize themselves to steal multiple outdoor LED displays in unmanned hotels and then resell the equipment or parts inside.
If the hotel is in a busy commercial area, the outdoor LED display may be targeted by competitors, who may hire people to destroy the display, interfere with the hotel’s commercial promotion, and affect the hotel’s business and image.
4.2). Environmental factors are exploited
Bad guys may use the outdoor environment to commit crimes.
For example, when encountering heavy rain, they may take advantage of the poor waterproof performance of the display or the poor drainage system and deliberately damage the protective device to let the screen get water and break.
Or, when there is a strong wind, take advantage of the fact that the display is not firmly installed to carry out damage or theft.
Bad guys may also use the environment around the display to disguise, such as putting something next to the screen to cover it so that they can steal or destroy it, and it is not easy to discover.
At night or when there are few guests in the unmanned hotel, there is no one watching around the display, and the environment is more likely to be exploited by bad guys, and the security risk is greater.
2. What types of LED displays are more suitable for unmanned hotels?
This screen is like wearing a “bulletproof vest” and can effectively prevent being stolen. It usually adopts a fully enclosed design with no obvious gaps and detachable parts, making it impossible for thieves to start.
Moreover, this screen is very “tough,” not afraid of wind and rain, and can work stably for a long time in various environments of unmanned hotels.
For example, in places such as hotel lobbies or corridors that are easily touched by passers-by, if this LED display screen with an anti-theft design is installed, there is no need to worry about being stolen.
This screen is like having “clairvoyance” and “wind hearing,” and managers can check the status of the screen anytime and anywhere through the Internet.
If there is any problem with the screen, such as it is damaged or malfunctioning, an alarm will immediately sound to notify the manager.
In this way, even if there is no one in the hotel, abnormal conditions can be detected in time, and measures can be taken.
For example, if someone wants to cause damage in the middle of the night, the screen will alarm as soon as it detects abnormalities, and the manager can rush to the scene to deal with it in time.
Wall-mounted LED display screen: It is easy to install, just like hanging the screen on the wall. Just fix a bracket on the wall and hang the screen on it.
This screen is suitable for places with limited space, such as hotel corridors or small conference rooms.
Its advantage is that it saves space, and if it needs to be repaired or replaced, it is also very convenient. Just take it off the wall.
3.1). Embedded LED display screen:
This screen is embedded in the wall and looks like part of the wall. The overall effect is very beautiful.
It is suitable for places with high aesthetic requirements, such as hotel lobbies or luxury conference rooms.
However, it is more troublesome to install, and you need to reserve a good position during decoration. If you need to repair or replace it in the future, you may have to move the wall.
3.2). Integrated screen LED display screen:
This screen is like a “family bucket,” integrating all the necessary components, such as the power supply, control system, etc.
It is particularly convenient to install. You only need to put the screen in the right place and connect it to the power supply and network.
Moreover, this type of screen is highly reliable and not prone to failure. However, the price is relatively expensive.
If a certain part is broken, the entire screen may need to be replaced, and the repair cost will be relatively high.
4.1). Viewing distance and pixel pitch:
If the screen is very close to people, such as in the hotel lobby, people may get very close to watch, so you need a screen with a smaller pixel pitch, such as P1.2, so that the picture will look very delicate.
If it is in a restaurant or conference room, people are farther away from the screen, and a P1.5 or P1.8 screen is enough, which can not only ensure the picture quality but also save costs.
4.2). Different uses have different needs:
If the screen is installed outdoors, such as an advertising screen outside a hotel, it needs to be brighter so that it can be seen clearly in the sun.
In addition, it must be waterproof and dustproof; otherwise, it will break easily. If it is a screen for indoor use, more attention should be paid to color and contrast so that the picture will look more beautiful.
4.3). Budget and cost-effectiveness:
If the budget is limited, you can choose a P2.5 screen, which is very cost-effective and can meet basic needs without being too expensive.
If the budget is sufficient and you pursue higher picture quality, you can choose a screen with a smaller pixel pitch, such as P1.2, which will have a more delicate picture.
In short, when choosing an LED display screen for an unmanned hotel, you should comprehensively consider factors such as anti-theft, intelligent monitoring, installation method, viewing distance, purpose, and budget so that you can choose the most suitable screen.
3. Physical protection: Increase the difficulty of anti-theft from the installation level
1). Strengthen the screen fixing method
1.1). Embedded screws:
Hide the screws that fix the screen inside the screen and cannot be seen from the outside so that thieves cannot directly use tools to unscrew the screws to disassemble the screen.
For example, a small compartment can be designed on the back of the screen, which can only be opened with special tools, making it difficult to disassemble.
Moreover, this design looks neater and will not affect the appearance due to exposed screws.
1.2). Anti-pry bracket:
Install an anti-pry bracket on the screen. This bracket is very smart. If someone tries to pry the screen forcibly, it will sound an alarm or automatically lock so that the thief cannot continue.
Moreover, this bracket is very strong, and it is difficult for the thief to destroy it even if he uses brute force.
This not only increases security but also does not affect the overall appearance of the screen.
2). Add metal guardrails or protective covers
2.1). Metal guardrails:
Installing metal guardrails around the screen is like surrounding the screen with a solid “wall.”
The guardrails can be made of high-strength steel, and the grid size can be adjusted as needed, which can ensure ventilation and heat dissipation and prevent thieves from sneaking close to the screen.
For example, in a place where people come and go, such as a hotel lobby, metal guardrails can effectively prevent people from touching the screen at will.
And the design of the guardrails can also be very delicate and will not appear abrupt.
2.2). Protective cover:
Adding a protective cover to the screen is like putting “armor” on the screen.
The protective cover can be made of transparent, high-strength materials, which will not affect the display effect of the screen and, at the same time, prevent thieves from directly touching the screen.
The protective cover can also be designed to be detachable, which is convenient for daily maintenance and cleaning.
This protective cover not only increases safety but also maintains the beauty of the screen.
3). Optimize the height of the installation position to avoid easy touch
3.1). Increase the installation height:
Install the screen higher so that people can’t touch it easily. For example, it can be installed more than 2 meters above the ground so that even if someone wants to reach out to touch the screen, they can’t reach it.
However, the installation height cannot be too high; otherwise, it will affect the screen’s viewing effect. This increases safety without affecting the beauty of the screen.
3.2). Combined with the building structure:
When installing the screen, you can use the hotel’s building structure to choose some locations that are difficult to climb or have no support points.
For example, install the screen on the ceiling or at the corner of the wall so that it is difficult for thieves to find a place to stand firmly to remove the screen. This increases safety without affecting the overall beauty.
4. Intelligent linkage: cooperate with a security system
1). Link alarm with access control system and camera
1.1). Access control system linkage:
Connect the LED display screen with the hotel’s access control system. If someone tries to enter the area where the display screen is located without authorization, the access control system will immediately detect it and trigger an alarm.
At the same time, the alarm information will be synchronized to the hotel’s security monitoring center, and the management staff can respond quickly.
1.2). Camera linkage:
Link with the hotel’s camera system. When the display screen is abnormal, such as being damaged or moved, the camera will automatically aim at the area and start recording.
At the same time, the alarm information will be sent to the manager’s mobile phone or monitoring center to ensure that the problem is discovered and handled the first time.
2). Configure vibration sensor and anti-disassembly alarm
2.1). Vibration sensor:
Install a vibration sensor inside the LED display screen. Once the screen is hit or vibrated, the sensor will immediately trigger an alarm.
This sensor is very sensitive and can detect even a slight touch, effectively preventing someone from trying to damage the screen.
2.2). Anti-disassembly alarm:
Anti-disassembly alarm is installed on the fixed parts of the screen. If someone tries to disassemble the screen or its parts, the alarm will sound an alarm immediately.
And send the alarm information to the hotel’s security system. This can effectively prevent the screen from being illegally disassembled.
3). Automatic upload of cloud records when the screen moves abnormally/powers off
3.1). Abnormal movement detection:
If the LED display is illegally moved, the system will automatically detect this abnormal situation and immediately upload the relevant information to the cloud.
Managers can view these records at any time through mobile phones or computers to find and deal with problems in time.
3.2). Power failure alarm:
If the screen is cut off from power, the system will immediately trigger an alarm and record this situation in the cloud.
This prevents someone from making the screen ineffective by cutting off the power supply, ensuring that the screen is always under monitoring.
In short, through the coordinated operation of intelligent linkage and security systems, the LED display screen of unmanned hotels can achieve higher security while reducing the workload of managers and ensuring the normal operation of the hotel.
