The Narayana Hrudyalaya Hospital located in Bangalore, India, is world-renowned for being one of the world’s largest pediatric heart hospitals. It receives patients from all around the world and has performed over 15,000 successful surgeries. It is also a world-leader in telemedicine, and is also known for being more efficient than nearly any other hospital in the country, and even in the world.

 

The hospital was in need of an enterprise level security solution for their facility to ensure the safety of their patients. They wanted to be able to monitor the large hospital premises so as to respond to incidents in a quicker and efficient way. The objective was also to analyze incidents and try to avoid in the future. For this task, ACTi unified solution was chosen to assist in the implementation of a surveillance system for the hospital.

 

To meet this end, 49 ACTi cameras were installed. Cameras were installed both inside and outside of the hospital to effectively watch over the entire facility (fixed indoor camera ACM-4000, fixed outdoor camera ACM-1231, PTZ outdoor camera ACM-8511 with IP-66 housing).

 

The ACM-4000 cameras have been placed within different areas of the hospital for maintaining the well-being of the patients and increasing the operational efficiency. The ACM-1231 camera which is an IP-66 certified outdoor camera - has been installed outside of the hospital perimeter to make sure there is constant surveillance in every hour.

 

The server architecture is a design allowing for all 49 cameras to be continually transferring video data to the local server where it is authenticated and stored. Remote access by user or administrator is possible after authentication by the server. The Narayana Hrudyalaya Hospital can be assured safety and enable a proactive surveillance for the entire hospital premises.
