“In an effort to augment our security personnel’s presence, we installed the surveillance system to allow us to identify and research incidents that we weren’t seeing before,” said Rodney Sanders, Network Administrator, Vidant Beaufort Hospital. “Now, we leverage cameras to remotely monitor the situation, respond appropriately and then investigate the event.”
Decentralised surveillance
The healthcare organisation also found MOBOTIX cameras to be a tremendous value for their ability to reduce network bandwidth through the decentralised approach to surveillance. The decentralised concept incorporates a high-speed computer into every camera to allow video to be processed within the camera itself, reducing network bandwidth and the need for external storage appliances.
“With the MOBOTIX surveillance system in place, every action is now accounted for,” said Ron Poulin, President and Owner, Daytona Broadband, the company that installed the system. “In the event of an incident, the hospital can now rely on strong video evidence for investigative purposes and therefore, the system delivers peace of mind to the security and management teams.”
“Vidant Beaufort Hospital leverages technology to build a cutting-edge facility that delivers progressive health care,” said Steve Gorski, General Manager, Americas, MOBOTIX. “The MOBOTIX surveillance system plays a critical role in allowing the facility to provide a safe and secure environment to improve patients’ health outcomes and deliver better service.”
