IQinVision, market leader in high-performance megapixel IP security cameras, intelligent network cameras, and IP video recording systems, today announced that Bonifacio Hospital, on the island of Corsica, has deployed 23 IQeye megapixel cameras, managed by a Viseox VXCORE video management and storage system. The use of megapixel camera technology allowed the hospital to reduce by more than 50% the number of cameras needed to accomplish their surveillance objectives.
The island of Corsica, at the heart of the western Mediterranean, is 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the coast of Tuscany and 200 kilometres (120 mi) from Nice. Bonifacio is the island's newest hospital, specialising in maternity and Alzheimer treatment services. Located in the countryside, the hospital is very high-tech, with a strong emphasis on security and video surveillance. Françoise Bigue, Director of the Hospital, established the goal that any upgraded video surveillance system had to be able to recognise anyone entering the facility, unlike the previous analogue system that could not accomplish this important function.
