Whether standing at the front line of a global pandemic or faithfully serving their community for decades, medical centres are relied upon by society for health and wellbeing.
While caring for the health and safety of their patients is a priority on a day to day basis, the safety of staff and property is also an important aspect of running the centre.
CCTV Security Camera Systems For Medical Centres
Due to the nature of a medical centre, they are frequented by frail and elderly individuals prone to slips, falls and injuries, as well as dementia patients. The high risk of injury makes security cameras a necessity. Not only will CCTV security camera systems provide you with visual 4K evidence of any injuries or incidents involving your patients, but they can also be the eyes on a property after hours, monitoring any potentially criminal activity. In addition, well placed CCTV can act as a deterrent to prevent crime from happening in the first place.
Access Control For Medical Centres
In medical centres, it is not only after hours and accidents that require security measures.
Unfortunately, patients can become difficult and even violent due to many factors, including mental health problems, frustration, intense pain and drug or alcohol influence. For the safety of themselves and for the security of property, staff need to be able to restrict and control access to various areas of the centre. Access control can be installed throughout a centre to safely control the movement of staff and patients, from the front door, to the reception space and storage areas.
Alarm Systems For Medical Centres
Installing an alarm system is usually the first thing a business will think of when it comes to a security system. An alarm system protects medical centres and covers the premises with constant monitoring and threat detection after hours, with its presence alone often deterring criminal activity. The ease of use of a good alarm system has improved significantly with technology. Alarms can easily be remotely armed, disarmed and monitored, all with an app on a smartphone.
Monitored Alarm Systems For Medical Centres
In the event of a break-in, time is of the essence. Self-monitored alarms may not always be able to provide a quick response due to mobile connectivity issues, or low phone batteries, allowing for significant delays between when an alert is sent and when it’s received. Back to base alarm monitoring is what Sec Tech Group recommends. Alarm monitoring is where an alarm system is monitored constantly by a 24/7 security control centre. Alarm monitoring allows a rapid response to any alerts from threat detection to low batteries or signal transmission failure. You can rest assured knowing alerts will not go unnoticed. In addition to alarm monitoring, mobile notifications can be sent to the appropriate staff to keep the centre updated.
A tailored security system is essential for the safety of any medical centre. Yet not all security systems are created equal. Where the CCTV is placed, what types of access control are used and the quality of an alarm system all come in to play when ensuring medical staff, patients and property is well secured. Brisbane’s Sec Tech Group can provide high quality, comprehensive alarm systems tailored to the unique needs of medical centres Queensland wide.
