CCTV Surveillance System Installation & Upgrade

The Challenge:

Healthcare facilities, particularly those serving children, present unique security challenges that demand specialised solutions. The UTH Children's Wing required a surveillance system capable of monitoring high-traffic areas, including main entrances, reception zones, corridors, waiting areas, pharmacy sections, and critical access points—all while maintaining the sensitivity and discretion appropriate for a paediatric medical environment.

Our Approach:

Understanding the critical nature of hospital security, our team conducted extensive consultations with hospital administration and security personnel to fully understand operational requirements, traffic patterns, and areas of concern. We developed a tailored surveillance solution that balances comprehensive coverage with the need to maintain a welcoming, non-intrusive atmosphere for young patients and their families.

Technical Specifications:

For this installation, we deployed enterprise-grade equipment selected specifically for healthcare environments:

Hikvision 32-Channel Network Video Recorder (NVR): A powerful, reliable NVR capable of managing up to 32 IP cameras simultaneously, providing centralised recording, playback, and management of the entire surveillance network. The 32-channel capacity ensures room for future expansion as the facility's security needs evolve.

Hikvision 4MP High-Definition IP Cameras: We installed professional-grade 4-megapixel IP cameras delivering exceptional image clarity with 2560×1440 resolution—four times the detail of standard 720p cameras. This superior resolution ensures facial features, clothing details, and activities are captured with crystal-clear precision, providing reliable evidence-quality footage when needed.

Scope of Work:

Our complete project delivery included:

• Comprehensive site assessment and security vulnerability analysis.
• Design of camera placement strategy optimised for a healthcare environment.
• Supply and installation of 4MP high-definition IP cameras throughout the facility.
• Installation of a 32-channel NVR with enterprise-grade surveillance hard drives.
• Upgrade and integration with existing functional surveillance components.
• Professional structured cabling with minimal disruption to hospital operations.
• Configuration of monitoring stations at security control points.
• Implementation of remote viewing capabilities for authorised personnel.
• Complete system testing, commissioning, and handover documentation.

• Staff training on system operation and incident review procedures.

  Healthcare-Specific Considerations:

Working within an active hospital environment required exceptional planning and coordination. All work was conducted with strict adherence to hospital protocols, maintaining cleanliness standards and ensuring patient areas remained accessible and safe throughout the project duration.

Camera selections were made with consideration for the healthcare setting—units with discreet profiles that provide excellent coverage. The 4MP resolution ensures clear identification capability while strategic placement respects patient privacy in sensitive areas.

Results Delivered:

The completed 32-channel surveillance system now provides UTH Children's Wing with:

1. Complete visual coverage of all entry/exit points and public areas.
2. 4MP high-definition footage suitable for identification and evidence purposes.
3. Scalable infrastructure with capacity for additional cameras as needed.
4. Continuous 24/7 recording with extended storage capacity.
5. Real-time monitoring capabilities at the security control room.
6. Improved visitor management and access control support.
7. Enhanced staff and patient safety throughout the facility.
8. Deterrent effect against theft, unauthorised access, and misconduct.
