Healthcare Industry Challenges
Hospitals, medical centers, university training centers, clinics, and other healthcare institutions are exposed to legal liability, ethical concerns, and subject to litigation and lawsuits as well as changing regulation worldwide. Facilities have drugs and medical equipment onsite, making them a tempting target for crime.
At the same time, aging populations in developed nations will drive increased demand for patient treatment. Rising populations and economic growth are naturally driving healthcare expenditures higher in developing markets. The frequency of physician, medial service provider, and hospital/clinic visits are all likely to rise considerably in the future in both developed and emerging markets.
All of this drives the need for video surveillance for security and for active medical treatment activities.
Arecont Vision megapixel cameras are deployed by healthcare facilities of all sizes and types around the world to increase the quality and coverage of video while driving down costs of installation and ongoing operation.
