How Virtua Healthcare Transitioned To An IP-Based Surveillance System

Virtua is a non-profit, comprehensive healthcare system headquartered in Marlton, New Jersey. Recognized for its quality of care, Virtua is among one of the most elite hospitals across the nation. Virtua has four hospitals: Berlin, Marlton, Memorial and Voorhees, along with two wellness centers, and a variety of outpatient health facilities. Virtua employs more than 9,300 clinical/administrative personnel and more than 2,000 physicians.

Since Virtua’s facilities have the latest, state-of-the- art digital equipment, Virtua administrators felt it was necessary to upgrade their video surveillance to safeguard its tools. Their current surveillance system included a number of analog cameras that were not meeting their coverage capabilities and video resolution needs. The video management system (VMS) software became too cumbersome to operate on a daily basis, missing the ability to access usable recorded images.
