[April 12, 2013] Vidant Beaufort Hospital Enhances Security with MOBOTIX Cameras Tweet Apr 12, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- MOBOTIX Corp., a provider of high-resolution, network-based security solutions, announced the Vidant Beaufort Hospital deployed a MOBOTIX surveillance system at its 142-bed non-profit hospital in North Carolina. According to a release, the cameras were installed in multiple phases as a method of modernizing the heath care facility's security infrastructure to allow security personnel to operate more efficiently, while reducing liability and deterring crime, according to a release. "In an effort to augment our security personnel's presence, we installed the surveillance system to allow us to identify and research incidents that we weren't seeing before," said Rodney Sanders, Network Administrator, Vidant Beaufort Hospital. "Now, we leverage cameras to remotely monitor the situation, respond appropriately and then investigate the event." Vidant Beaufort Hospital deployed every type of camera in the unique MOBOTIX product line. MOBOTIX DualNight M12 cameras, which are equipped with two separate high-resolution image sensors for night/day visibility, secure the hospital's perimeter. The DualDome D14 and the Q24 Hemispheric camera reduce the number of cameras required to monitor the hospital's interior while delivering high-resolution images. The healthcare organization noted MOBOTIX cameras to be a tremendous value for their ability to reduce network bandwidth through the decentralized approach to surveillance. The decentralized concept incorporates a high-speed computer into every camera to allow video to be processed within the camera itself, reducing network bandwidth and the need for external storage appliances. "Vidant Beaufort Hospital leverages technology to build a cutting-edge facility that delivers progressive health care," said Steve Gorski, General Manager, Americas, MOBOTIX. "The MOBOTIX surveillance system plays a critical role in allowing the facility to provide a safe and secure environment to improve patients' health outcomes and deliver better service." MOBOTIX AG is a software company with in-house hardware development for digital, high-resolution and network-based video security solutions.
