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.
