Advanced Security Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Keeping your patients and staff safe


We bring together several different security systems to monitor Hospital and Healthcare facilities in a convenient and cost-effective way. Our strength lies in seamlessly putting existing systems into dialogue so that they can effectively interact with each other.
There is a broad spectrum of buildings within a hospital facility where some areas are off limits to the public and reserved only for staff. Each of these areas in a hospital facility requires unique and tailored solutions. We have many features that enable operators to immediately take action and make informed decisions.
Since COVID-19 Hospitals are under even more pressure, we make it easier for managers on site to handle this challenging environment.
Integration systems such as access control, intrusion, and fire panels, video intercom, EAS tagging, Nurse call, and panic systems is essential. We have the capability to associate, display, and record events from all these 3rd party systems.

Third-Party Integration Requirements for Healthcare Facilities
Perimeter protection
-
This is of paramount importance to hospital grounds as the first point of entry. Our sophisticated tools work seamlessly with normal or thermal cameras to provide real-time alerts to assisting security staff.
-
Video Analytics can be configured to detect people crossing perimeter boundaries.
-
The software also integrates with third party electronic fence monitoring systems, which provides a double layer of security when used in conjunction with Video Analytics.
-
The sophisticated control room and alarm management solution facilitates an effective environment and speedily guide operators to areas of concern, allowing them to take immediate action in pressurized situations.
Smoke and Fire Detection
-
Fire and smoke alarms must be taken seriously and dealt with immediately to protect the patients, staff, and visitors on the hospital premises. Most hospitals have many alarm panels across multiple buildings that need to be monitored.
-
Any smoke or fire alarm must be investigated with discretion to avoid panic. We integrate with multiple smoke and fire alarm panels, to efficiently show the operator on the alarm gateway which unit has been triggered.
-
The geographic map location, and associated video footage from cameras in the immediate vicinity are also provided to the operator for an instantaneous response and visual representation if this is a false alarm or a genuine emergency.
Intruder Alarms
-
Large hospitals have several intruder alarm panels covering multiple buildings or departments, which can all be integrated with the VMS to notify the operator or department manager where and when an alarm was triggered.
-
This is supported with the geographic map location and associated video footage from the nearest CCTV cameras, which can be used as evidence to investigate the event.
Public Spaces monitoring
-
Events in public spaces are not always predictable, difficult areas to monitor, and have a great deal of thoroughfare, thus requiring a superior surveillance solution.
-
With hundreds of cameras for operators to monitor it is extremely important to be able to allocate cameras, or groups of cameras, to specified users. It is imperative that these users can easily view events and act when they occur.
-
It is vital to monitor key areas such as entrances, exits, receptions, public waiting areas, car parks, corridors, and cash counters that may require specific detection resolutions depending on requirements.
-
No rooms or wards are usually monitored to maintain the privacy of patients, but a thorough surveillance system needs to be able to closely monitor movement in and out of these spaces.
Electronic Article Surveillance
-
Integrated with EAS systems to enable hospitals to keep track of expensive equipment, beds, and medication, that have been tagged.
-
Trigger an alarm if an item is removed from the building or department, linked to CCTV Cameras via video management software.
-
The operator is provided with an informative map showing the location of the event and associated video footage.
-
This technology can also be used with baby tagging in maternity wards, to track any unauthorized movement of babies from the facility.

Effective Access Control Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Our secure access control solutions are flexible and scalable to meet your specific requirements, keeping your staff and patients safe.
Health care facilities require a 24-hour solution so they can focus on the business of caring for patients.
Our integrated Access Control provides important video verification of access control transactions and delivers an effective management solution enabling the system to create events on specific transaction types (like anti-passback or after-hours transactions), which will in turn, trigger site actions.
In response to COVID-19, we have combined thermal cameras to generate temperature alert capability to help monitor the health of visitors and staff entering hospital buildings. Through adding temperature screening to our software, we have designed a tool that can provide a visual representation of temperature and trigger alerts at pre-determined thresholds.
