Glass lifts, key card entry monitor security in elevators

MUMBAI: In the aftermath of the sexual assault involving Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal which occurred in a hotel elevator in Goa, the issue of monitoring movement inside lifts has become a talking point.

It emerges that most hotels in Mumbai do not install CCTV cameras in their guest elevators for fear of invading their clients' privacy. Instead, the service lifts used by their personnel are placed under surveillance in order to check theft of hotel supplies and property.

However, hotels have other ways of monitoring security inside elevators. Nilesh Vaidya, security head of Hotel Sahara Star in Andheri east, says their lifts are made of glass which precludes the possibility of crime. "Besides the lift is such a short ride, it makes a less than ideal setting for a criminal," he says.

In this very neighbourhood stands Hotel Keys, the new kid on the block. "We have state-of-the-art access to our elevators. Guests can only operate it with a key card that allows them designated access to their own floor, and no other. Also they can only descend to the lobby, nowhere else. They cannot manipulate the buttons to land on any other floor," says Pradeep V, chief sales officer.

Interestingly, security officer Vaidya's apartment building, Triveni in Goregaon's Shastri Nagar, has CCTVs in the elevator. "We cannot take risks given that children, watchmen and maidservants alike use the lift," he says.

Major Rahul Hublikar, who is head of security in a five-star, says he has visited hotels across the city and noticed that none of them put guest elevators under surveillance.
