A network video system offers a wide range of possibilities to make a hospital less attractive for break-ins and robberies, according to an article on the IT News Africa website.
The system can also be used to safeguard hospital staff from workplace violence, prevent drug diversion and supply theft, protect infants from abduction or mix-ups, restrict unwanted visitor access, and visualize and communicate with those in distress, the article said.
Cameras can automatically send images to a security guard’s phone or tablet if any of the cameras are tampered with, which also saves time wasted on false alarms.
Healthcare facilities also can use cameras to improve patient care by monitoring multiple patients remotely or from a central nursing station.
