In hospitals and healthcare facilities, video surveillance is an effective way to not only increase security, but also to control expenditures. Surveillance cameras can work to protect hospital employees and patients from security breaches while providing valuable visual evidence that can be used to increase productivity and prevent dishonest claims. IP wireless video technology is providing hospitals with added flexibility in their video surveillance installations, while providing benefits such as remote video monitoring and more effective storage capabilities.

Benefits of a Montel Technologies Hospital Video Surveillance System:

• Increase overall security and safety
  Security cameras positioned throughout a hospital help to prevent crimes and break-ins and also allow operators to watch for troubled patients and monitor for unauthorized visitors in restricted areas.
• Improve worker productivity
  The presence of surveillance cameras on the premises can improve communication between hospital departments or buildings, allowing for maximum productivity.
• Prevent dishonest claims
  In instances where patients or visitors falsely attest to injuring themselves on hospital property, visual evidence from the facility's security cameras can disprove such assertions, saving the hospital from pricey insurance claims.
• Resolve employee disputes
  Employee disputes are easily resolved when clear visual proof is available. Surveillance cameras can shed light on incidents in question.
• Continuous real-time monitoring
  IP surveillance allows authorized hospital employees to monitor critical areas continuously, in real time, from their personal computers.
• Digital storage
  Hospitals that choose to install IP-based video surveillance systems can take advantage of the benefits of digital storage. IP systems enable the user to store recorded footage digitally on network servers, hard-drives or NVRs, where the surveillance video is easily accessible to authorized users, and offers improved searching capabilities.
• Visual evidence for investigations
  Surveillance cameras can provide invaluable visual evidence for investigations of criminal activity and other specific events that have taken place within or around healthcare facilities.
• Remote video monitoring
  Remote monitoring is an extremely helpful tool in medical facilities. IP surveillance allows hospital employees to view security camera footage remotely from any PC with network access. Multiple sites can even communicate over the same network with all of the camera views accessible online via the Internet.
