Monitoring a hospital’s pulse deep in the heart of Texas
www.axis.com
> Christus Spohn Hospital’s medical office buildings (MOBs)
> Located in Corpus Christi, Texas, USA
> Spread out in 5 buildings
> No surveillance system in place
THE CHALLENGE
> Find a solution that would allow property managers to increase security and worker productivity throughout the 5 buildings
Background
www.axis.com
> Flexibility and cost-savings
– Axis surveillance system allows the network server to be easily moved if the MOBs relocate to new facilities
– System scalability
– Does not require the use of expensive coax cabling (as opposed to an analog system)
> Easy access to live video
– Staff can continually monitor critical areas of the buildings in real-time from their PCs located in the building’s wide area network
Approach: Main reasons to make that choice
www.axis.com
> 56 Axis network cameras distributed throughout all 5 buildings
> Installed both inside and outside of buildings near entrances, exits, fire escapes, elevators, and parking lots
> The system uses Xprotect surveillance software from Axis partner, Milestone Systems, for
– Motion detection
– Managing video recording and archiving
Solution
