Longgang Hospital is located in Universiade New Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen, China. The hospital required a stable, reliable, real-time networked monitoring system, which needed to include the routine medical monitoring system of the outpatient building and the monitoring and surveillance system of patients in the hospital wards. A network digital monitoring system has been used, with user-friendliness being the main consideration, to create a safe, reliable, high-definition and intelligent video monitoring system. The system also satisfied the hospital’s high standards regarding security technology requirements at the same time.
The system mainly monitors the office space, elevator hall, main entrances, conference room, corridors, parking lot and wards. 181 monitoring points have been deployed, with different camera models selected for each monitoring area based on functional requirements:
> Offices: AXIS M3203, AXIS M1011 and AXIS M1031-W Network Cameras are used for the management of daily medical work
> Elevator hall: AXIS 241Q Video Server combined with analog cameras
> Entrances and fire exits: AXIS P1344 and AXIS P5534 Network Cameras
> Parking lot: AXIS P1344 Network Cameras
> Wards: AXIS M1011 Network Cameras
Axis network cameras transmit digital videos directly through the IP network (LAN, intranet, internet). With sufficient bandwidth, users can monitor HD surveillance videos with resolution of 720p or higher anywhere, anytime on any computer connected to the Internet, thus realizing a visualized management system and increasing system diversity. At the same time, the system is highly scalable and is capable of meeting the growing needs of the hospital. By appending new load balancing video servers or new network cameras, the system can be flexibly expanded to meet new needs.
