CCTV cameras are a staple of any modern security system. They are an effective and versatile security option, which is why they are used in such a wide range of contexts. Hospitals too can benefit from commercial CCTV security cameras and we have listed some of the key benefits below.
Increased Safety
One of the main functions of CCTV cameras in hospitals is to enhance security and improve workers and patients' safety. As well as capturing footage of any incidents, the presence of CCTV cameras is a proven deterrent and can prevent people from misbehaving.
Remote Video Monitoring
Throughout a hospital, CCTV cameras enable security staff to monitor multiple areas of the building remotely from a single location. This, in turn, means fewer security guards are required to keep the premises secure.
Live And Continuous Monitoring
The use of intelligent CCTV and analytics as part of a hospital security system can alert security personnel to potential security breaches, limiting the requirement for constant monitoring.
Visual Evidence
If a security incident occurs in the hospital, the hospital CCTV will ensure there is visual evidence. This footage can prove invaluable in any future criminal proceedings or insurance claims.
Increased Employee Productivity
There are operational benefits of installing a CCTV system in a hospital, it can be a useful aid to verify that staff are carrying out their jobs as detailed in a timely manner and also ensuring adherence to Health and Safety protocols and hospital procedures.
Proof For False Claims
In the event of litigation against the hospital, CCTV footage can provide verification and authentication of the accuracy of incidents to either dispute or verify claims.
Resolve Employee Arguments
Hospitals are high-pressure environments and mistakes can and do occur on occasions. CCTV can be useful in helping to clarify and settle where the responsibility for the event lies in the event that there is a dispute.
Crime And Violence Prevention
CCTV cameras are very effective deterrents. By placing CCTV cameras in clear view and putting up signage to remind people that the cameras are watching, you can significantly reduce the occurrence of criminal or violent activity within the hospital building.
