Video Survillance
A classical video surveillance system consists of several cameras, control desk with monitors and storage device (nowadays in the form of a hard disk, tapes are not used anymore). The cameras are either black and white (better contrast and sharpness) or color (can register the color of cars or dresses). They may be fixed (economical) or equipped with zoom lens and swivel motor (larger surveillance area).
They ensure the surveillance of entrances and exits, hallways, warehouses, delivery entrances, helicopter landing sites, emergency lanes, etc. The pan-tilt-zoom cameras may be connected to the alarm system. If a door is forced open, for example, the swivel camera may in a very short time be directed towards the door and record the incident with increased frame rate.
With video cameras, it is possible to assess from a remote location whether an alarm is real or false, then ensure that the most pertinent intervention is triggered without delay.
Video surveillance has a high deterrent value and forms part of a modern security concept. It lowers the demand for surveillance personnel, especially in areas with a reduced overview and in widely spread installations. Together with access control systems and the digital storage of images, it provides efficient and proactive protection against crime and vandalism.

Customer Benefits
For the hospital:
- Keep intervention paths clear – a persistent problem for a hospital is to ensure that the emergency lane, the helicopter landing pad and other intervention paths are kept free of hindrances. A video surveillance helps react quickly if a vehicle attempts to park there
- Staff efficiency – distributed video cameras allow for rapid virtual guard tours from one seat. Security staff can keep an eye at all times on the most remote parts of the premises, ensuring both timely interventions and appropriate responses
- Deterrent function – the simple presence of cameras helps reduce acts of vandalism and petty crimes
- Evidence – image recordings help reconstruct the event and identify possible suspects, as well as defend the establishment against illegitimate claims
For staff:
- Visual control – before opening a door or releasing a gate, security staff can visually assess the situation from his desk
- Increased security – as the grounds are monitored against suspicious persons, staff can rest assured that they are less exposed to risks, for instance at night when finishing their shift and returning to their vehicle
- Social climate – an unresolved case (e.g. theft) might rapidly help deteriorate the climate among staff, as suspicion gets out of control. Documented events prevent this risk
