The Hospital Clínic de Barcelona relies on Lanaccess for its security infrastructure

Thanks to the VMS of Lanaccess, can manage both real-time viewing and recordings, taking full control of all the facilities associated with the Hospital Clínic.

For more than 15 Years, Lanaccess has been the reference provider of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona in professional video surveillance solutions, Valuing, both support and closeness, such as robustness and high specific functionality that adapts to your needs.

With more than a hundred years of history, is a reference public health center in Barcelona with a clear desire for excellence in its three main areas of action: assistance, research and teaching. This public consortium formed by the Generalitat of Catalonia (CatSalut) and the University of Barcelona has 760 beds and 5.389 Professional. For a reference hospital like this, patient and employee safety is a priority.

It is a very busy center and passage area of many citizens, where there are also equipment of high economic value, so having an effective video surveillance solution is vital both to prevent, deter and be able to investigate any illicit activity that may occur.

IP and analog video surveillance

With the video management system (Vms) by Lanaccess, the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona controls more than 500 Cameras, among which there are IP and analog equipment. The transition from analog to IP cameras is being able to be carried out progressively, since Lanaccess has solutions to continue working with analog cameras, in the case of the Hospital, encoders have been used, in other cases this transition has been made with the use of hybrid video recorders.

Thanks to the Lanaccess VMS they can manage both real-time viewing and recordings, taking full control of all the facilities associated with the Hospital Clínic.

Cluster Video Recorders

This center has several buildings distributed in the area, among which are those of research and assistance. Having a centralized management that can coordinate all locations is of vital importance for the security department, since it allows to manage in a more efficient way all the security. On the one hand, there is a control center and on the other multiple distributed operator posts.

In the remote centers, small and medium-sized video recorders have been installed, while in the main building there is HM Cluster video recorders.

Cluster video recorders are high-capacity embedded network equipment. They are available with between 3 And 5 Independent CPUs, hot removable and balanceable; with discs up to 4 HD per CPU and up to 20 disk bays, hot removable. They also have raid configurable and have a power supply, redundant and hot removable.

A feature highly appreciated by the security team is the monitoring of the state of the park, that provides in real time and in a simple way the status of the security devices, thus improving the maintenance service. Allows monitoring of both video recorders and cameras, indicating very intuitively when an anomalous situation is occurring. In addition, offers detailed information (model, Brand, firmware, location, Etc.).

Another functionality that they frequently use is the scheduled or immediate execution of rounds of equipment supervision offering total control of the entire video surveillance system.. Getting to the detail of performing tasks such as capturing photographs, disk status and statistics, input/output monitoring, time verification and firmware versions.

A basic point for the security department to be able to have an optimal security solution has been the flexibility to incorporate different reference solutions, and an example of this is the integration between the Lanaccess video surveillance solution with the access control solution of Dorlet.
