Monitoring the inside and outside of school premises using CCTV surveillance equipment is becoming a necessary aspect of ensuring the safety and security people, processes and property connected to a school campus. There is also an ever-increasing need to provide and reference video evidence for potential investigations.
A well-maintained system will ensure compliance with security regulations and also ensure you pass CQC inspections with flying colours. The owners, operators and managers of health care premises need evidence that their CCTV systems and processes are effective and will support the efficient running of their business.
Despite its benefits, CCTV can be viewed as an intrusion so it is important to ensure the benefits and rationale for installing CCTV is communicated to those it is intended to protect. This includes strict guidelines for usage and storage of any data that is captured.
Effective and well-maintained CCTV surveillance systems and fully trained users are essential elements of ensuring patients, visitors and staff are protected.

CCTV is a very good at deterring people from carrying out acts that are not allowed, such as entering a building without authorisation, causing damage to buildings or property. Most CCTV systems now record in high definition and are able to provide evidence that is admissible in court. The recordings can also be used to educate on the impact and risk to life certain behaviours can cause.
A well installed and correctly positioned CCTV camera system will act as a deterrent against theft. It also can provide the evidence of who the goods were stolen by and where they were stolen from.
Surveillance cameras can be used to validate many things, from validating deliveries to tracking people movements. Correctly installed CCTV can be used provide visibility on activity areas such as entrances, corridors, treatment rooms and what is being loaded into or off loaded from delivery vehicles.
The environment within a healthcare setting can be very busy, or the buildings could be empty which means it can be hard for managers and supervisors to monitor activity. CCTV can be used as an investigatory and health and safety management tool as it provides visibility on things that would ordinarily go unresolved or unreported. Surveillance systems can be used to investigate incidents thoroughly and help to prove or disprove their occurrence and/or cause.
