Video Surveillance Promotes Operational Efficiency

One way companies are employing smart devices is by transforming smartphones into real-time video cameras. DVTel’s mobile app allows Android-based smart devices to record, analyze, review, and export video from any location. The system operates over WiFi, 3G/4G, and/or LTE networks, not only providing security teams with more mobility, but also complements existing surveillance networks by enabling surveillance in places that traditional cameras cannot reach.

In terms of video management software (VMS), Milestone Systems provided the University of St. Andrews School of Medicine with a custom system that went well beyond typical VMS functions. The medical school needed a system that would allow students to record, delete, share, bookmark, and present video evidence. Ultimately, Milestone came up with a video capture system that simultaneously monitors and records up to 46 clinical skills practical exams in separate “bed head” bays with high or standard definition PTZ network video cameras from Axis Communications. The recorded videos are then used by students and teachers as an educational tool. With video recordings of mock exams and procedures, students are able to review the material so that they can learn and improve. Additionally, the video evidence can also be used by the students as part of their medical training portfolio, which all UK medical students must gather during their seven-year training period.
