Hospital security: 360º solutions
By Hommax SmartSD
Hospitals are very large areas where the safety of patients, family members and workers must be ensured. To this end, security measures must be integrated with internal protocols and adapted to their specific characteristics and requirements, which means that different types of surveillance are needed to cover all their needs.
Solutions to reinforce security in hospitals, medical clinics and nursing homes
Falls, sudden health problems, medical negligence, theft... Surveillance systems are one of the most effective solutions for hospitals, allowing for quick and cost-effective management of all these situations. Let's take a closer look at some of the positive factors involved in security systems adapted to hospital premises:
· Access control, the first line of security
Hospitals have different areas with public or restricted access. The access control system allows access exclusively to authorised persons to each area through facial recognition, cards or codes. In this way, laboratories, testing areas, changing rooms, etc. must be properly isolated and protected against any intrusion.
· Perimeter protection
High-resolution surveillance cameras strategically located in corridors, emergency exits and other passageways make it easier for professionals in the sector to analyse conflicts and identify the people involved.
· Fall detection
Using AI sensor technology, it can detect if a person is about to fall based on the way they move. This allows healthcare personnel to be alerted immediately so they can act instantly. The HIKVISION DS-TDSB00-EKT/POE/4M@ RADAR detects people and non-people in a specific area and even postures without contact.
There are auxiliary care radars, such as Hikvision's DS-TDSB00-EKH/POE/2m@, which are capable of remote, contactless detection. It emits real-time respiratory rate and heart rate as well as human body movements.
· Sound detection
An audio sensor can detect if a patient is screaming, allowing nursing staff to react immediately to check what is happening.
· Temperature detection
Thermal cameras are a powerful security tool for detecting temperatures and maintaining a safe environment. We highlight Hikvision's HeatPro series, which offers simplified professional protection, radically reduces false alarms while operating 24 hours a day, even in extreme darkness, thus detecting hard-to-see targets.
· Detection of patient leaving the bathroom or corridors
Some patients leave their rooms and wander the corridors, possibly still under the influence of medication or anaesthesia. An alarm time can also be set for when the patient enters the bathroom and does not return. With this type of programming, healthcare staff can be alerted to intervene, reducing the risk of the patient harming themselves or getting lost.
