Phone logging

Phone Logging PC device

 

Camdata was commissioned to design a PC-mounted device to store call logging data from hotel telephone systems.  Call records are transmitted at the end of each call made by a hotel guest and are not stored locally, so if that record is lost, then the hotel will not be able to recoup the cost from the guest.  The Griffin acts acts a battery backed collection system, drawing power from the PC when it is on and storing the data locally if the PC is switched off, or the PC is not capable of receiving data.
