DVTel, a supplier for smart security solutions for video surveillance, announced that the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), London, U.K., has selected DVTel from among eight video management software providers as the central platform for a newly-upgraded IP video management system.
The DVTel solution will manage data from more than 160 network, HD and analog cameras, covering the entire hospital complex and monitored from a central command video wall, along with workstations throughout the hospital, and possibly in the future from portable devices such as an iPad. Check Your Security (CYS) performed a surveillance audit at the hospital prior to the project going to tender and was then eventually selected as the integrator for this project.

Since its founding in 1852, GOSH has been dedicated to children's health care. Each year, there are more than 170,000 patient visits to the hospital. GOSH is at the forefront of pediatric care and nurse and doctor training in the U.K. For such a venerable, visible institution, the choice and installation of a security system to protect patients and staff was extremely important.
The hospital approached CYS in 2010 seeking to upgrade their disparate analog video surveillance systems. As a starting point, CYS recommended their enterprise audit service. The audit evaluated every piece of security and network equipment to provide a comprehensive picture of what was in place, technology capabilities, legacy equipment to be utilized in a future solution, and a list of hardware and software options to meet their current security goals
