Waterland Hospital deploys IQinVision megapixel IP cameras
posted on 18/06/2008

Waterland Hospital in Purmerend, the Netherlands, offers high-end, specialist care with a strong focus on the needs of the individual patient and their relatives. The hospital was looking for a security system that offered an integrated, cost-effective system with no unfortunate surprises. A hospital is an "open" environment with people coming and going and limited potential to control the access of all those people. Hence, a critical goal for the hospital was excellent video coverage and quality to ensure a good view of people and the environment after an event occurred. For example, if there is a theft from a patient room, the system must provide good quality images of the thief. With forensic quality images, security personnel have a better idea who to watch for at exit points and around the hospital, and the images can easily be sent to the police. Most cameras evaluated to meet these demands could not do the job, so the hospital selected IQeye cameras. IQinVision has announ... [more]

EMS wireless pager system provides ship-wide security messaging for Antarctic research vessel RSS James Clark Ross
posted on 29/05/2008

As part of the British Antarctic Survey fleet, the RSS James Clark Ross spends up to 18 months at sea, much of the time in severe weather conditions. The ice-breaking vessel is fully equipped for advanced geophysical studies and is home to a crew of 28. EMS Group's wireless pager system has been providing ship-wide security messaging for the crew of the research vessel RSS James Clark Ross for more than 10 years. The EMS wireless pager system is interfaced to the ships security system and in the event of an alarm or fault condition, transmits text messages to the onboard pagers carried by key members of the crew. Only one 500mW radio transmitter was required to provide complete coverage of the entire vessel – an amazing feat considering the metal construction of the ship. In the 10+ years the system has been operating in this hostile environment, it has only been necessary to replace one of the pager receivers, and that was inadvertently damaged.... [more]
