The surveillance camera installation project at Hope Outreach Hospital aimed to strengthen security measures, enhance patient and staff safety, and improve overall operational efficiency through the implementation of a comprehensive surveillance system. The project involved conducting a security assessment, designing an optimal camera layout, procuring high-quality equipment, and installing and configuring cameras and supporting infrastructure.
What did Loop Technologies do
The project scope included the following key activities:
Security Assessment: Conducted a comprehensive assessment to identify critical areas requiring surveillance coverage.
Design and Planning: Collaboratively designed a surveillance system layout, considering camera types, locations, angles, and storage requirements.
Procurement: Sourced high-quality cameras, Digital video recorders (DVRs), video management software, and supporting equipment. We used 8 analog cameras with a resolution of 2 Megapixels. It supports remote viewing, night vision, motion, and facial detection.
Installation and Configuration: Installed and configured cameras, DVRs, and associated infrastructure for optimal coverage and integration with the existing network. We used coaxial cables with cable trunks and an 8-channel power unit. We mounted a flat-screen TV for viewing.
Testing and Quality Assurance: Conducted thorough testing to ensure proper functioning and clear video footage.
Training: Provided training to restaurant staff on system operation, monitoring, and basic maintenance.
