I smell an opportunity here. Imagine this.

A computer in the hotel management office, networked to door sensors through out the hotel.

When the group checks in, the room door sensors are assigned to a group like "my robot team" and the clerk assigns a room(s) to be group leader.

So what happens is the computer monitors all the group doors, thereby creating 'virtual tape'. If the 'virtual tape' is broken then immediate notification is sent to the group leader.

The alarm sent to the group leader wake her up and makes her very cranky and she sends group goons out to chase kids back to their rooms.

The notification is immediate, you don't have to wait to check tape the next day, hours after potential problems.

Business opportunity knocks. Is there an engineer in the house ?
