Video surveillance in hospitals is as controversial as the installation of video systems in schools. A hospital should convey a feeling of safety and security – video surveillance can make a decisive contribution to this without making the technology used look intrusive.
VTIS selects the appropriate camera technology depending on the application scenario. For example, fixed-dome network cameras can be installed almost invisibly in corridors and rooms thanks to their flat, unobtrusive design. Boxed-type network cameras, on the other hand, are used in the stairwell. They signal that this area is under video surveillance.
More and more hospitals are securing their critical areas such as emergency rooms, psychiatric wards, public entrances or sensitive areas such as restricted access departments using network cameras. Traditional, analog cameras are often still in use here, which VTIS can easily integrate into a modern IP-based video surveillance solution on request.
Facilities in the health and social sector, such as hospitals, clinics or care facilities, are obliged to ensure the well-being of patients and residents at all times and must comply with the legally prescribed safety precautions in all areas of the facility. To make surveillance efficient and guarantee smooth processes, intelligent video surveillance can be used to eliminate sources of danger and prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access. In addition to the general increase in security, e.g. to protect against theft, patient care can also be improved and all safety regulations complied with. Furthermore, liability claims and insurance premiums can be reduced or prevented.
The protection of sick people has the highest priority. For this reason, the operation of vital medical equipment, IT systems and building and operating technology must be guaranteed at all times. VTIS video surveillance enables a comprehensive, efficient overview of sensitive areas, rapid response to possible operational interruptions and effective personnel planning.
Intelligent VTIS video surveillance systems actively improve patient care. Alarm notifications in dangerous situations, such as when a patient leaves the bed or the room without permission, or when monitoring or infusion devices are manipulated, too many visitors are in a room or devices are not cleaned properly, enable rapid access by staff. This prevents liability claims and reduces insurance premiums.
In the medical field, remote access to the video surveillance system is particularly important. Thanks to finely tunable access authorizations, several authorized users can access previously defined network cameras from any networked location in the world. Compared to analog video systems, IP cameras score points with higher resolutions of up to 4K. This allows significantly more details to be displayed than with analog cameras. Other aspects include image quality. A digital video surveillance system can be more effective compared to its analog counterpart. Furthermore, it is easier to store digital video material than its analog counterpart. By using SD cards in the camera or NAS (Network Attached Storage) solutions, cost-effective and powerful storage solutions can be implemented that are significantly cheaper than on-site servers or DVR (Digital Video Recorder) solutions.
VTIS realizes the complete modernization of your analogue video surveillance system. On request, we can connect existing analog cameras to your new digital video system or replace analog cameras with high-resolution network cameras.
Video surveillance systems from VTIS are flexibly expandable and fully customizable to your requirements. VTIS integrates the video system seamlessly into your infrastructure – for example, it is easy to control an entrance or a gate. However, we generally recommend a physical separation of the video network and the hospital network. The video management software (VMS) can also be customized according to your wishes. Contact us for a free consultation.
The integration of all systems in the healthcare sector enables the smooth flow of information between departments, facilities, regions and even countries. This is made possible by integrating a large number of sensors into the overall system, e.g. for access control, building technology and alarm input and output. Alarm messages based on modern video analytics are the standard nowadays. Staff have immediate access to the live image and can initiate appropriate measures.
High scalability, reliability and system availability are guaranteed through the use of proven, commercially available technologies. Video solutions from VTIS protect patients and optimize processes to improve your profitability.

Video surveillance solutions from VTIS are already being used for perimeter security. With the help of high-resolution IP cameras, every corner is reliably monitored – no one enters the premises without authorization. Such tasks are usually carried out by the doorman. Thanks to intuitive video management software, there is no need to deploy additional security personnel. The connection and integration of existing systems and infrastructure are no problem for VTIS. By using a license plate recognition system, the switching of traffic lights or barriers, e.g. in parking garages or gate entrances, can be fully automatic.
Freely accessible or unlocked rooms make it easy for potential thieves to steal hospital property such as expensive medical equipment or patient property. This is often a considerable economic loss for the hospital. IP cameras in corridors, at emergency exits, elevators or in the cashier’s office lead in most cases to a clear identification of the perpetrator. The recorded video footage is also admissible as evidence in court. By using intelligent search analyses, the relevant video material can be found quickly.
Time and again, cases of child abduction from the infant ward make headlines in the news. To counter this problem, a video surveillance solution from VTIS is the first choice. In conjunction with an access control system, unauthorized visits to the infant ward are no longer possible.
By using discreet video surveillance solutions such as fixed-dome network cameras, corridors and newborn rooms can be reliably monitored. The fixed dome cameras can also produce clear images in the dark thanks to integrated IR lighting. If desired, visitors can be addressed directly via network loudspeakers.
Patients in intensive care units are generally unable to make themselves understood when their state of health deteriorates. With the help of modern IP video surveillance, staff can monitor patients in the intensive care unit around the clock. In an emergency, every second counts – because a quick response from the treating doctors determines the patient’s chances of survival. In addition to monitoring intensive care units, recovery rooms can of course also be easily monitored via a video surveillance system from the nurses’ room.
Hospitals and clinics place particularly high demands on video surveillance systems. Fail-safety, reliability, simple operation and expandability are just as important as the usability of the video recordings in court. Many hospitals have limited financial resources to convert any existing analog video systems into the digital age.
