11 February 2008

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.
