A new remote CCTV monitoring and response has been installed for Fresenius Kabi Oncology PLC at its East Hampshire site. It‚Äôs an oncology product packaging and distribution company. The local installer was ADP Security Systems Ltd (ADP)….
The networked CCTV system, of internal and external cameras, will be remotely monitored by ADP at its CCTV control room. The system comes with a rapid incident response service where a guard can be dispatched if required.
The sensitive and potentially harmful nature of medicines manufactured on site means that they have to be kept secure at all times. The CCTV system comprises a mix of Pan-Tilt-Zoom and static cameras, networked over Internet Protocol (IP) to ADP. Control room personnel can talk to intruders via a tannoy system, viewing a real-time video picture of the client site. If needed, a mobile security patrol can attend within minutes of an incident. A number of approved Fresenius Kabi personnel have access to the images via the internal IT system. The CCTV images are regularly reviewed by ADP for quality purposes, and can be shared with police if required.
Horst Schambock, acting site manager for Fresenius Kabi said: “We changed to remote CCTV monitoring a few years ago, as we found it more efficient than the previous guarding arrangement. We have now chosen to upgrade the system with the help of ADP Security Systems, as they are local, reliable and offer very competitive prices.” And Keirn Bush, business manager for ADP Security Systems added: “In these difficult economic times we find that more of our clients are opting for a cost-effective security solution, and a monitored CCTV system certainly fits the bill. A well designed system can give the benefits of a guard on site at a fraction of the cost.”
