Typically merely the elevator vestibule, depends on the hotel. A simple lock read would tell the hotel who'south key and when opened a door

The hotel I work at has admittedly no CCTV and our doors are pretty bones and so it doesn't feed whatever info back to reception so I'd say it depends on how decent the hotel yous're staying at, is. Although my hotel is 4* and AA rated, they're only cheap 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've likewise stayed at a 5* hotel in London who knew exactly when we'd enter and get out our bedroom, and the lobby, so housekeeping could become in while we were away.

^{^} Exactly. Our hotel had cameras on every elevator lobby, which likewise showed u.s. the nearby room doors, and a photographic camera at the terminate of the hallway, so we would take a pretty good approximate which room if you are familiar with it (which maintenence was). Nosotros aren't looking at information technology all the time, but managers can review it someday.

Many hotels are concerned about guest privacy and then CCTV cameras may simply be placed by the elevators on each floor only there may or may non take camera in the guest hallways, I would have to guess that most hotels won't. In many hotels the front desk-bound receptionist doesn't have admission to all the CCTV cameras, usually management can access/review it. At one holding we had an indoor pool and so we had a photographic camera in the pool with a 12'' inch monitor at the front desk-bound and so the people working the front end desk volition see if someone is drowning or having medical issues in the pool.

There'south no universal right reply for your question. Every edifice is dissimilar. Most electronic door locks will store information well-nigh who used which keys when, for the hotel to recall equally needed.

Hotel receptionist usually doesn't have admission to the cameras, or they don't have any information near which door is opening currently, but if they demand to, they can cheque when did you lot open the door, and if it's really needed security will check the cameras. Normally a hotel only keeps CCTV footage for three days, only execption when at that place is an ongoing investigation

In my experience, no. The cameras feed into my GM'south role, and that is locked when she isn't hither. We also just accept cameras at the entryways, and on the kickoff flooring hall. To be fair though, nosotros used to but take dummy cameras, and at the motel I used to work at there were no cameras at all. It's probably dissimilar at larger hotels. I know I've seen hotels with actual security guards that have the CCTV at their station.
