a remote eye on patients and
staff. The camera features tamper
detection, 32-channel recording
software, and a built-in PIR sensor
for human detection, all packaged
in a compact design. Five IP8332
units were used for monitoring
goings-on outside of the hospital.
The bullet-style network camera
performs well in outdoor settings,
with a removable IR-cut filter for
day and night functionality, IR
illuminators effective up to lengths
of 15 metres, and multiple stream
capabilities.
Patient and visitors tracking
All video streams captured by
Vivotek's cameras are fed through
video management software
called ST7501, enabling the user
to fully control and manage the
streams from a single location.
Using ST7501, real-time remote
monitoring, recording, playback
and event trigger management
functions can be operated by the
user. Ultimately, the solution cho-
sen by Fortis Healthcare guaran-
teed patient and visitors tracking,
grounds surveillance, and general
security of the hospital.
Mr. AP Singh, regional IT
head of Fortis Hospital, com-
mented on the overall efficiency of
Vivotek's IP surveillance solution.
"The system integrator did a really
good job setting up the surveil-
lance system despite the challenge
of working in a hospital open
24-hours. Once the system was in
place I was really impressed with
the user friendliness of it all, par-
ticularly the way in which ST7501
software integrates everything into
an easy to operate system." n

damaging anything. It took a
lot of manpower and hours, but
in the end the installation was
completed seamlessly. Computer

together with Vivotek worked to
bring the project to fruition, and
all systems were up and running
by October of 2013.
Four main aspects
Guarding expensive medical
equipment and the safety of staff
and personnel was the primary
concern of this project. When it
came to choosing the right hard-
ware, there were four main aspects
of surveillance that played into
the decision: patient movement,
patient security, employee security,
and grounds security. Inside the
hospital 54 units of the IP8133

Business as usual
As hospitals never close, the great-
est obstacle to outfitting the medi-
cal centre was laying cables for
the relocation of cameras without
interrupting business as usual. The
hospital in Ludhiana remained
in full operation throughout the
process, and the system integrator
deftly managed to do the cabling

For major healthcare business Fortis Healthcare Ltd,
with expanding operations comes the responsibility
of protecting not only patients' physical health, but
also the environment in which they and their care-
givers work on a day-to-day basis. Such was the
case with one of the company's hospital locations in
Ludhiana, India, and they sent out a call for help that
Vivotek answered wholeheartedly.
Inside the hospital 54 units of the IP8133
model were mounted. This IP camera
allows users to simultaneously receive
