Increases everyday efficiency with Matrix video surveillance solution
Hinduja hospital is an ultramodern, multi-speciality tertiary care hospital with a Medical Research Centre (MRC) in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston, USA. The hospital has an inpatient capacity of 342 beds, inclusive of 53 critical care beds in different specialities.
It was the first multi-disciplinary tertiary care hospital to have been awarded the prestigious ISO 9002 certification from KEMA of Netherlands for quality management system.
Challenges
Hinduja was in use of Axis video surveillance systems which they wanted to upgrade to the latest technology surveillance solution without having to replace the existing cameras, to save investments. For centralized monitoring of multiple cameras from different devices, their existing system used a dedicated server which was complex to manage. Hence, they required a solution, which could eliminate the need of this dedicated server. Besides, they required to store camera recordings for three months as an evidential proof for audit and investigation, which the existing system could do at very high storage costs.
Matrix offerings
In the first instance, Matrix with the help of its intensive R&D team, was able to successfully add all of Hinduja’s existing Axis cameras to Matrix NVRs. Cascading feature of Matrix NVRs helped them connect all NVRs in a master-slave architecture which enabled centrally monitoring all 73 cameras from different NVRs, without any server.
In order to address their storage requirement, Matrix provided features like adaptive recording and camera-wise recording retention, which helped in reducing storage requirement by 50% without compromising on video quality. With the help of this, Hinduja hospital stored camera recordings for three months without investing in additional storage drives.
Due to the large number of patients and visitors, Hinduja is now keen on installing intelligent video analytics (IVA) like license plate recognition (LPR) and trip wire of Matrix video surveillance to get real-time security and reports.
