Hanwha Techwin, a global supplier of IP video surveillance solutions, announced that it has integrated its intelligent IP cameras with Epic Systems' new remote sitting video platform called E-CAL.

Thanks to this integration, hospitals will be able to perform 24/7 centralized patient monitoring and conduct remote observation of high-risk patient rooms, acute care patients, and specialized units.

Integrated system with specific Hanwha PTZ camera

The integrated system features a specific Hanwha pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera

The integrated system features a specific Hanwha pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. This type of specialized camera will enable hospital staff to remotely check in on patients and keep an eye on various in-room equipment and monitors using custom presets to move the camera lens to specific areas of the room.

The integration also includes two-way real-time audio and communication from the remote sitter platform workstation to the patient room. The speaker and microphone will be ceiling-mounted in each room and connected to the remote sitter platform. This will give the hospital the ability to quickly give audible notifications and instructions to the the patient in bed from remote sitter platform.

Assisting hospitals

Hospitals can also configure the remote sitter system to be used with a video mobile cart unit with a Hanwha camera, speaker and microphone, and other features added as needed.

Hanwha will assist hospitals and their systems integrators with deploying the necessary hardware and licenses and final configuring and programming. The Epic approved and ready cameras and audio devices are now available from authorized Hanwha resellers and distributors.
