Synectics awarded new healthcare surveillance contracts

Two more NHS Trusts in the UK have strengthened their surveillance and security management with Synergy software from Synectics.

The trusts will use Synergy as the foundation for multi-phase, multi-site upgrades of their systems.

Synergy to enhance security

According to Synectics, the first project will help one of the UK’s busiest trusts unify and improve surveillance across two large scale hospitals and one community facility.

The trust’s three sites – which cover over 130 acres – encompass diverse facilities, from one of the country’s largest trauma units and busiest A&E departments to teaching facilities and specialist units.

Synergy enables operators at any of the sites to view video footage from across the entire estate.

Teams at either of the two hospitals can also control any of the surveillance cameras.

In addition to supporting multi-site security management, upgrading to Synergy will deliver capabilities for improving the security of staff, patients and visitors.

“We’re quickly growing in healthcare”

“Our multi-site surveillance provides better awareness across entire estates, which is increasingly popular in our industry,” said Synectics’ Brett Longley.

“Flexible solutions, like Synergy, are essential for phased improvement plans.

“This flexibility is a major reason we’re quickly growing in healthcare settings.”

In both NHS Trust deployments, Synergy will facilitate further migration to IP cameras, support the use of legacy technology and guarantee the integration of capabilities as required.

This includes video analytics and an increased number of system inputs.
