Hospital Requires IP-Surveillance for Remote Monitoring Challenges
Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center on Long Island, N.Y., had begun construction on a satellite parking lot for employees when security staff quickly realized that the lot’s remote location posed a surveillance challenge. Located several blocks from the main building, it would be both disruptive and expensive to trench cable between the new parking lot and the main building’s security operations center for 24/7 monitoring.
With analog technology, the alternative would require hardwiring the cameras at the new 750-space parking lot to an intermediary building—an affiliated nursing home—negating the possibility of live monitoring.
