At 500,000 square feet, EGSMC faces the same level of security risk as a small municipality. EGSMC also faces another key challenge: it is connected to two separate facilities that are monitored by independent security systems, making access control and patron monitoring particularly difficult. To monitor both the interior and exterior of the facility, the parking lot, entrances, and other high-risk areas, EGSMC installed 48 Avigilon cameras ranging from one to five megapixels and eight Avigilon analogue video encoders to leverage the existing assets and improve performance of its legacy analogue cameras. With one workstation and two monitors located in the security office, security officers manage the system using Avigilon Control Center software with HD Stream Management and store five terabytes of surveillance data on each of its three Avigilon network video recorders for 30 to 60 days of continuous footage.
Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center (EGSMC), a 500,000 square feet health care facility that is connected to two independent facilities, has deployed the AvigilonHigh Definition (HD) surveillance system to monitor both the interior and exterior of the facility, the parking lot, entrances, and other high-risk areas to help protect patients, visitors, and staff.
