Security in an uncompromising environment...

Hospitals and healthcare facilities present a unique security environment. Life-threatening situations, specialist facilities and equipment, access to controlled drugs, and highly emotive environments (such as maternity and intensive care) present challenging considerations for security.

Balancing a strong security regime and facilitating a non-invasive, comfortable level of openness for patients, staff and visitors is the key challenge.

With large numbers of cardholders, electronic access offers physical security and freedom of movement for authorized cardholders as well as the assurance of personal safety. CCTV provides a means of monitoring movement of personnel, both in public and controlled areas.

Access to operating theatres can never be compromised. CCTV footage of individuals visiting babies must be available and of sufficient quality for identification purposes. Security systems in healthcare environments are "mission critical" - the consequences of downtime are much more than inconvenience.
