Securing hospitals and healthcare spaces with VIDEX’s IPure

VIDEX’s IPure system is recognised as one of the most advanced and proven native TCP/IP door entry system in Europe.

With a proven track record in numerous non-residential environments, IPure also excels in the healthcare and hospital sector.

Hospitals represent extremely complex environments, where multiple systems must work in perfect harmony to ensure optimal operation, facilitate the work of medical and paramedical staff and ultimately help save lives.

The smooth integration of devices and technologies within a hospital environment is crucial. Each component must be able to interact with the other systems, ensuring seamless operation and responding to the specific needs of each department.

It is in this context that VIDEX IPure offers a complete range of devices including call stations, video intercoms and accessories, all designed to integrate the technology required to ensure seamless interoperability.

Such interoperability is essential not only for the day-to-day operation of hospitals, but also for responding promptly to emergencies, improving safety and operational efficiency.

Advanced integration with existing systems

One of the main advantages of IPure is its ability to integrate with existing VoIP telephony systems through the use of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

This integration enables the creation of specific call-paths and the handling of emergency calls with maximum efficiency.

In a hospital environment, where speed of response can make the difference between life and death, this functionality becomes crucial.

For example, IPure call stations can be connected directly to the hospital switchboard, enabling immediate and direct communication between medical staff and wards or to trigger alarms in the event of an emergency.

In addition, sending DTMF commands from telephones connected to the system, or sending HTTP commands through the network, allows complex processes, such as opening doors or activating security systems, to be automated by entering a specific code.

This automation capability reduces the time needed to perform critical operations, improving the overall efficiency of the system.

Advanced video stream management

Another distinctive feature of the IPure system is the advanced management of video streams.

Through RTSP protocol, images from call-stations can be transmitted to network video recorders (NVRs) for recording and archiving, while video streams from surveillance cameras can be sent to video intercoms using picture-in-picture functionality.

This feature is particularly useful in contexts where several areas need to be monitored simultaneously, such as in intensive care units or operating theatres.

The ability to view multiple video sources in real time on a single screen allows staff to be in complete control of the situation, enhancing security and emergency response capabilities.

Security and local network communication

All IPure devices communicate within the local area network (LAN) according to the security policies set by system administrators.

This means that communication between devices takes place in a safe and secure manner, minimising the risk of cyber-vulnerabilities.

Compliance with cybersecurity standards is a priority for VIDEX, which ensures that all IPure devices are up-to-date and compliant with current regulations.

Low total cost of ownership

One of the most appreciated aspects of the IPure system is its low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Unlike other access systems that require the purchase of separate software licences, IPure includes the necessary software directly in the hardware, at no additional cost.

This approach reduces initial costs and simplifies system management by eliminating the need to pay for upgrades or periodic licences.

Furthermore, ease of configuration and customisation allows admins to adapt IPure to the specific needs of the hospital without having to invest in costly programming or consultancy.

Customisation and scalability

The IPure range of devices is extremely versatile, offering endless customisation possibilities to meet the specific needs of each department or area of the hospital.

Whether it’s a small clinic or a large hospital with hundreds of wards, IPure can be scaled to perfectly suit the facility, ensuring an optimal level of functionality and security at all times.

The ability to add new devices or expand the system without limit in terms of number of devices is a further advantage, allowing the system to grow gradually in line with the hospital’s operational needs.

VIDEX’s IPure system represents a state-of-the-art solution for door entry in complex environments such as hospitals.

With its ability to integrate with existing systems, advanced video stream management, security guaranteed by the latest technology and low total cost of ownership, IPure establishes itself as an ideal choice for healthcare facilities of all sizes.

Its flexibility, customisability and scalability make it a strategic investment.
