~East Texas Medical Center deploys complete
Avigilon surveillance solution to help protect patients
district-wide~
VANCOUVER, CANADA, December 5, 2017 /CNW/ - Avigilon
Corporation ("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted
security solutions, today announced it was selected by East Texas
Medical Center Regional Healthcare System ("ETMC"), in
Tyler, Texas, USA, to secure its
healthcare facilities throughout the region.
To enhance patient and staff safety at its 9 hospitals and 39
rural health clinics, ETMC installed a complete Avigilon
surveillance solution that incorporates more than 500 Avigilon
cameras, including Avigilon HD Pro, HD Dome, and H4 SL Dome
cameras, as well Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management
software running on Avigilon network video recorders.
With approximately 300,000 patients visiting its facilities each
year, clear surveillance footage is paramount to ETMC's security
needs. Avigilon 7K (30 MP) HD Pro
cameras were selected for their ability to cover wide areas, such
as parking lots, while also providing exceptional image detail,
allowing security staff to zoom in and quickly identify and respond
to potential security events. ETMC also chose Avigilon cameras with
self-learning video analytics for their accurate detection of
people and vehicles in critical areas. Combined with ACC's advanced
search capabilities, these cameras enable ETMC's security operators
to effectively monitor and accurately verify surveillance footage,
saving time and effort during critical investigations.
"Our top priority is ensuring the safety of our patients, staff
and visitors," said Kenneth Webb,
Director of Secuirty for ETMC. "We chose Avigilon because it offers
us an easy-to-install, user-friendly and scalable solution that
allows our operators to conduct fast video searches and accurate
investigations. This saves us valuable time during investigations
and has helped to reduce false liability claims."
"Healthcare institutions like ETMC face unique challenges in
protecting their patients, staff and property – especially across
multiple locations," said James
Henderson, Avigilon President and Chief Operating Officer.
"The success of our project with ETMC demonstrates how Avigilon's
expanding portfolio of security solutions continue to help address
the diverse needs of our customers, enabling ETMC to benefit from
high performance products while also lowering their total cost of
ownership."
