Magnetic Storm was successful in securing the tender for the supply, installation & commissioning of a CCTV system for The Uitenhage Municipal Hospital. The initial planning was done in conjunction with Electrical Consulting Engineers, CA Du Toit.

Challenges

• An old 5 storey building that was not designed with security or CCTV in mind.
• The building has two separate wings, thereby creating an installation challenge.
• There are public and remote areas that needed coverage.
• The installation had to take place in phases.
• As a hospital is public space, theft of installed equipment and cabling was a consideration and became a reality.
• Sourcing equipment that was user-friendly and durable.

The Solution

• 8 km of Cabling was used in the installation
• 26 x Cameras
• 2 x multiplex digital recorders
• 3 x observation monitors
• 1 x controller unit for the control of the 26 cameras

Summary

Uitenhage Hospital has CCTV coverage of remote and public areas with a system that is fully programmable enabling security staff to record archive & playback any events taking place with coverage of approximately 90% of the hospital.
