And for very good reasons! Most professional and government organizations wouldn’t consider opening their doors for business without an adequate security and surveillance plan in place. Closed Circuit TV systems and perimeter Alarms are important components of their overall security tools. In a modern-day business facility, CCTV systems can serve multiple purposes:
1. CCTV and Alarm systems help to deter criminal activity, especially when protection areas are clearly posted. Inside or out, people are less likely to commit crimes or do harm to a facility when they think their activities are being monitored and recorded 24 hours a day.
2. CCTV Security Servers can provide video documentation and notification of criminal activities, even as they are happening!
3. Remote camera viewing allows instant recognition and reaction to threatening activities. Authenticated video recordings and pictures may even be used in legal proceedings and prosecutions as forensic evidence.
4. CCTV Security Servers can help professional organizations expand the view and scope of their security plan without adding additional personnel. Though it’s impossible to be present everywhere, around the clock, Video Surveillance systems can give your security solution extended range and omni-presence.
5. CCTV systems within a managed security facility can reduce the number of Agents needed in the security department. Security departments can be staffed and dispatched to handle events as they happen without requiring physical presence to be effective.
HIPPA PRACTICES ENVIRONMENTS: Security for healthcare organizations has many unique challenges and concerns, especially with the deployment and operation of a CCTV Security Server. Patient privacy, employee monitoring, risk management, workplace violence, “reasonable expectation” liability and other issues can all impact the size, scope, placement and use of the system. For example, if patients or employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a particular place, then cameras should not be located there. If the place is public and accessible to anyone, some reasonable security surveillance is allowed, as long as videos are not archived or publicly accesable and the use of the surveillance system is clearly posted. However, the use of cameras in seclusion rooms, where patients may cause harm to themselves or others, is generally considered acceptable and reasonable.
