Healthcare Security Requires Experience & Understanding

The world of healthcare is becoming more complex and challenging every day. Senergy works closely with hospitals to design, install and service professional security systems that maximize security efficiencies and performance, are easily scalable and cost effective.

Key Security Trends Impacting Healthcare Facilities

Physical Threats

Staff, patients and even visitors often fall victim to unprovoked emotional outbursts and violent physical attacks when tensions rise.

Increasing Theft

Drugs, prescription meds and resalable medical equipment are high-value targets for theft. Oxycodone and hydrocodone account for 57.7% of stolen drugs.

Unauthorized Access

Hospitals and clinics with outdated or poorly
managed access control systems leave patients, staff, and sensitive data vulnerable. Security breaches are inevitable.

We Keep Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities Safe

Letʼs explore your security system options.

CCTV Video Surveillance

Access Control Systems

Concealed Weapons Detection

CCTV Video Surveillance for Hospitals

Protect people and assets with real-time video Surveillance. Monitor critical areas remotely, receive instant alerts, and respond to threats in real time with integrated video analytics and cloud-based systems.

Benefits

Integrate with access control and intrusion alarms.
Document hostile altercations, slip and falls and theft 24-7.
View parking lots and garages in total darkness with night vision infrared security cameras.
Monitor multiple remote locations simultaneously.

Access Control Systems for Hospitals

Guard against unauthorized intrusions at key entry points, storage areas, HR departments, emergency departments, medication supply cabinets, and other sensitive areas of your facility.

Benefits

Integrate with video surveillance and intrusion alarms to trigger automated emergency responses.
Grant differing levels of access to key personnel.
Assign access control credentials according to level of security clearance—ID badge, mobile phone, swipe card, pin or keypad.
Use voice or video verification for maximum security to add an extra layer of protection where and when it matters most.

Concealed Weapons Detection for Hospitals

Senergy has installed the Evolv Express weapons detection scanner system in more than thirty hospital and healthcare facilities.

Benefits

Walk-through, touchless detection mitigates the need to empty purses, backpacks and satchels.
Designed with advanced AI sensors to identify guns by shape, composition, and size.
Location of concealed weapon on person is displayed on security monitor for verification.
High throughput rate, 2,000 people every 60 minutes with single-lane and 4,000 with dual-lane

Violence and Theft in Hospitals and Other Healthcare
Facilities is a Growing Concern for Staff and Administrators

Did You Know?

Healthcare workers are 5x more susceptible to workplace violence than in other sectors.

40% of nurses surveyed said they have witnessed a dramatic increase in violence in hospitals.

10–20% of mobile assets are lost or stolen, and medication theft may cost up to $164 million annually.

U.S. healthcare workers account for 73% of all nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses due to violence.

We Take Hospital Security Personally – You Should Too

Because when things go wrong, your staff needs life-saving security options immediately & within reach.

Smarter Security for Hospital Emergency Departments

Weapons detection systems are increasingly being deployed at ED entrances to minimize violent assaults involving weapons. Specialized low-profile sensor devices such as HALO are also gaining traction—giving hospitals critical situational awareness without violating patient privacy with security cameras. HALO can detect aggressive behavior, gunshots, spoken keywords, vape usage, and monitor occupancy in key areas of the building. If a security breach is detected, your staff is notified in real time.

Hospital Security FAQ

Do hospitals have vape detectors?

Hospitals are increasingly installing vape detectors in sensitive areas of the hospital where privacy is an issue. But vape sensors do a lot more than simply detect vape smoke. For instance, the Halo Smart Sensor also detects cigarette and THC smoke, gunshots, glass breaking, aggressive voices, sudden movement, and can monitor people occupancy in waiting areas.

Do nurses and doctors have panic buttons?

Hospitals are more frequently issuing panic or duress buttons to staff, generally in the form of a mobile phone app or a special badge attached to their scrubs, lab coat or other article of clothing. Healthcare staff can activate the panic buttons from anywhere in the building or parking lot, which then sends a distress signal to appropriate hospital personnel, including local law enforcement, requesting emergency assistance. The alert signal is silent so attention is not drawn to the person activating the duress button. Duress buttons are also mounted on walls, under count tops, and can be activated by the stroke of a computer key.

What are the best security cameras for hospitals?

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities like assisted living and walk-in clinics, use a variety of security cameras depending on needs. PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) and license plate recognition security cameras are often used outside in parking lots or elsewhere on hospital grounds. 360 degree dome cameras are used throughout healthcare facilities, as are bullet and fisheye security cameras. Two of the top manufacturers of security cameras for hospitals are Axis and Avigilon. Both Axis and Avigilon produce high-end professional security surveillance cameras with the latest in AI intelligent camera analytics.

Do hospitals have metal detectors to detect guns and knives?

Some hospitals use traditional metal detectors or hand wands, which are not actual weapon detection systems, but rather, they sound an alert whenever any type of metal object is detected, including keys and some phones. This can cause a lot of unnecessary false alarms and create panic for the security staff. Because of this, traditonal metal detectors, including Opengate, are not the best choice if your goal is to specifically detect firearms. The Evolv Express concealed weapons detection system is specifically designed to identify firearms by their size, dimension and metal composition. The Evolv system, which more and more hospitals are installing to deter gun violence, is equipped with advanced AI sensors that can actually pinpoint the area on a person where the firearm is hidden and then display it on a security monitoring screen highlighted by a bright red box. Many experts would agree that the Evolv Express weapons detection system is the best gun detection security system available. The human element is still a critical factor though and staff needs to be fully trained on the Evolv system before deploying.
