A complete IndigoVision IP video solution is at the heart of ‘smots’ – a medical training system designed for Oxford Brookes University

IP Surveillance

Based in a simulated 24-bed ward facility, the innovative ‘smots’ medical training system at Oxford Brookes University’s School of Health and Social Care is using specialist cameras supplied by IndigoVision to allow tutors and medical students to interact in a ‘live’ patient care environment.

‘Control Centre’ – IndigoVision’s enterprise video and alarm management software – is used to manage the viewing of live and recorded network video and audio from each bed. The flexibility of the system allows the tutor to simultaneously monitor all 24 beds from a remote location, and then enter into a two-way conversation with students actually at the bedside. No longer does the consultant have to peer over the student’s shoulder.

The video and audio from all training sessions is recorded at full frame rate on six stand-alone Networked Video Recorders (NVRs). It’s a system that allows the export of both video and audio clips to show Best Practice and further student reviews.

An excellent example of the added value clients can gain from CCTV procurement.
