Caring for Patients with CCTV
Aside from security, CCTV systems can be very useful in monitoring activities. This idea holds true for hospitals. With nurses and doctors always moving about and attending to different concerns, they are barely able to keep watch over their many patients all day and night. However, patients in the intensive care unit and in the emergency room need to be attended to. They are vulnerable and may suddenly display ill symptoms or side effects. Not all patients are fortunate enough to have family members monitoring or visiting them at all hours. Fortunately, this dilemma can be lifted with the use of CCTV systems. An auto-focus zoom camera can be attached to the bed of a patient. Monitors in a control room can display the footages captured by these cameras. From the control room, nurses can control the view by making the cam zoom in, pan or tilt.

Access control systems can also be connected to CCTV set-ups so that the hospital staff can control who enters or leaves certain sensitive rooms. These can be the laboratory, mental ward, pharmacy, x-ray room and others. As highly technological your security and access control measures may be, take note that there is still no substitute for personal care, especially in institutions like hospitals. A good mix of consumer electronics and human attention will go a long way.
