Security that keeps care moving

Healthcare institutions face a difficult balance: stay open and welcoming, yet protect patients, staff, sensitive information, and volatile materials. A well-designed security system reduces violence and theft without turning a hospital into a fortress.

Protecting people first

Patients are responsible for the majority of violence experienced by nursing staff, and most incidents occur while explaining policies or delivering updates. An AI-powered, predictive security system detects escalating behaviour early and prompts a fast, coordinated response from the security team — before a situation turns dangerous.

Controlling sensitive areas

Access control is critical in healthcare. Limit entry to medical record hubs, medicine cabinets, and specialised wards to authorised personnel only, with biometric or card credentials that cannot be easily shared or forged.

One unified operations centre

A unified physical security platform centralises multiple campus views into a single security operations centre. It addresses workplace violence, secures medication storage, supports regulatory compliance, and improves patient throughput — giving security teams a clearer picture, faster response, and greater control.

Five steps to stronger hospital security

1. Establish your goals — preventing medication theft, detecting threats, or improving facility use, and match the technology to those objectives.
2. Know your overhead — even a 10% reduction in drug theft can justify the investment in a surveillance system.
3. Build a central monitoring centre — 24/7 monitoring across sites, able to call security or law enforcement during an incident.
4. Add AI analytics — integrate an AI-enabled monitoring centre to strengthen safety and security measures.
5. Integrate with your BMS — ensure video surveillance works with access control, visitor management, and other building systems.
