Vidant Beaufort Hospital deployed a comprehensive Mobotix surveillance system at its 142-bed non-profit hospital in North Carolina. The cameras were installed in multiple phases as a method of modernizing the heath care facility’s security infrastructure to allow security personnel to operate more efficiently, while reducing liability and deterring crime. The system was installed by Daytona Broadband.
Vidant Beaufort Hospital deployed a comprehensive Mobotix surveillance system at its 142-bed non-profit hospital in North Carolina. The cameras were installed in multiple phases as a method of modernizing the heath care facility's security infrastructure to allow security personnel to operate more efficiently, while reducing liability and deterring crime. The system was installed by Daytona Broadband.
“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. “Now, we leverage cameras to remotely monitor the situation, respond appropriately and then investigate the event.”
The hospital deployed Mobotix dual lens D/N cameras to secure the hospital's perimeter. The D/N domes and compact weatherproof IP domes drastically reduce the number of cameras required to monitor the hospital's interior while delivering high-resolution images.
The healthcare organization also found Mobotix cameras to be a tremendous value for their ability to reduce network bandwidth through the decentralized approach to surveillance. The decentralized 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. “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.”
