S&K Gaming recently installed Artificial Intelligence-powered automated license plate readers – a technology that has faced nationwide scrutiny – at the Kwataqnuk Resort & Casino and at both major casinos on the Flathead Indian Reservation.

These Genetec AutoVu Cloudrunner cameras are not typical security cameras that record an overview of the surroundings. Instead, they are placed at entry choke points to capture a vehicle, including its make, model, color and license plate.

Genetec AutoVu Cloudrunner’s pitch is simple: it collects “vehicle-based evidence,” provides searchable data and delivers real-time alerts. And Genetec is just one of the many companies providing this type of security technology.
