Video surveillance for hospitals and clinics

The use of video surveillance systems is used as a control and security system in crowded places. The medical industry is no exception. Let’s find out what tasks a video surveillance camera solves for a medical institution and how to ensure maximum protection and security for your facility with the help of Kobi software.

Why is video surveillance important for hospitals and clinics?

Medical institutions receive a large number of visitors every day. In some cases, people with mental health problems are unable to control their physical and emotional state, so an unpredictable situation can occur at any time. The stressful state of patients often provokes conflicts, and sometimes medical staff openly abuse their position by negligently performing their duties.

A video surveillance system for a clinic is designed to solve the following issues

• ensuring general security;
• control over the work of the staff;
• preventing conflicts and disputes;
• access control system.

With the help of video surveillance, you can see the general picture of visitors’ movements along the corridors, at the reception, and quickly respond to an emergency situation (violation of law and order, sudden deterioration in the patient’s health, etc.) Video surveillance cameras for hospitals will help to control the situation in the ward, monitor the patient’s condition, and prevent theft of personal belongings and medicines.

Modern video equipment helps to optimize the work of the institution – to improve the quality of medical services, to record possible violations, including lateness or absence from the workplace during a shift.

Features of video surveillance for medical institutions

Access to video footage in the healthcare industry is a common practice in most developed countries. But the question arises: how to install video surveillance for a hospital without violating the law? After all, the law allows video recording without prior consent only in public places that do not involve a person’s private life. What about the fact that private doctor’s offices or hospital wards often require monitoring? The problem of installing a video camera for a hospital is quite simple. Patients should be warned that the room is under video and audio control by a special sign at the entrance. The relevant conditions are also specified in the agreement on the provision of medical services.

How to choose a video surveillance system for a hospital?

The choice of a camera for video surveillance depends primarily on the application environment. For outdoor monitoring of the hospital’s territory, cameras with a durable anti-vandal casing are used, while indoors, you can limit yourself to a more budget-friendly plastic version.

When choosing a camera that will provide video surveillance for a hospital, you need to take into account such a factor as the illumination of the room where the surveillance will be conducted. Based on your needs, the following options are available

• cameras with additional lighting (LED, infrared, spotlight);
• day/night systems equipped with ultra-sensitive elements.

A modern IP camera is an ideal solution for video surveillance in hospitals and clinics. The key parameter that affects image clarity and detail is the resolution of the device. Depending on the resolution of the IP camera, the nature of its application is determined. Also, the presence/absence of a microphone.

High-resolution cameras are installed to monitor drugs and records.
