Hospital rooms must be well-lit for video surveillance to deliver usable images. At the same time, the rooms must be dark at night so patients can sleep. Surveillance equipment must also be designed for maximum durability and safety. To achieve effective surveillance video, major Oregon and Washington hospitals use the EX36 Corner-mount No-Grip Camera from the Bosch Extreme CCTV series in their Behavioural Health units, Sleep Research Labs and ER Holding Rooms.
Problem: seeing in the dark
- Sleep researchers must observe patients while they sleep
- To avoid disturbing patients, visible lighting cannot be used
- Colour performance required during daytimes
- High resolution images required at all times
Solution: Corner-mount Integrated day/night performance
- Integrated camera and infrared illumination for day and night
- 940nm infrared invisibly illuminates a room
- Patients can sleep undisturbed while doctors and researchers observe and monitor as if it were day
- Outstanding high resolution video in colour by day and in active-infrared monochrome by night
- Safe corner mount design, vandal resistant and impossible to grip
Results: Safe, Effective Surveillance in Day or Dark Conditions
- Improved monitoring and observation techniques at hospital
- Decreased disturbance to patients
- Upgraded general surveillance
- Risk mitigation through enhanced safety for patients and staff
