CCTV – Security Cameras Surveillance Systems
CCTV is all about evidence. At Eversafe we hear it all too often from customers trying to save money, that “we only need this level of resolution”. Remember the better... the resolution the better the evidence. If you skimp on resolution it could cost you in the long run, especially if you can’t ID someone or something.
Most businesses that operate in the Healthcare industry like hospitals, aged care facilities, medical and dental clinics have or have had problems with drug affected and disgruntled patients, cash handling, employee theft, OH&S management and burglaries.
By installing security cameras, they will not only help prevent all these from happening, but you will also have better control of your business through being able to manage your staff whether it be onsite or remotely. Surveillance camera systems will help you protect your business and improve your company’s overall exposure to risk. If anything does happen, recorded video footage can be used as evidence.

Access Control Systems
Many businesses have a need to monitor personnel access. Businesses that operate in the Healthcare industry like hospitals, aged care facilities, medical and dental clinics are common users of access... control software.
The actual set-up of the system will depend on the needs of the business, but there are some standard requirements. One common features of a typical access control system is the generation of user activity reports.

If you are considering an Access Control System for a business in the Healthcare industry like a hospital, an aged care facility or a medical/dental clinic, call Eversafe today on 03 900 10 900 and let one of our security specialists point you in the right direction.
Alarm Systems
A commercial grade intrusion detection system will help protect your assets and your property. Security alarm devices are standard for many businesses. If your budget is tight, at Eversafe we... recommend you have an alarm system as a minimum requirement for your business. Think of it this way, an alarm system tells an intruder to get out and CCTV captures the evidence. If you have CCTV on its own, then the intruder can stay inside for as long as they like, until they find your recording device and steal it. There goes your evidence! Be proactive not reactive. Too many people install alarm systems after the fact, when it’s too late. Don’t become another statistic call, install an alarm system.

Alarm Monitoring
How often have you heard, and then ignored, an alarm siren coming from a building or a vehicle?
In today’s fast paced society, we have become desensitized to these sounds... and may also not want to get involved as it may put us at risk as well.
Hence the need for a 24hr security monitoring and patrol service.
When your alarm notifies our Melbourne security monitoring centre of an emergency or disturbance, our control room operators will:
- first call your premises to validate whether a false alarm has occurred
- notify you via your contact response list
- once we have made contact with you, you have the option to instruct us to send out a patrol car to attend your premises
CCTV may record problem activity, but alarm monitoring gives you a definitive timeline of the intrusion making it easier to locate the correct footage via your CCTV Surveillance system. You may also need to consider Security Monitoring for Insurance purposes. High Risk businesses such as Jewellery Stores, Pharmacies, Pubs and Gaming venues must have Security Monitoring either by Law or to satisfy Insurance requirements.
Communication Types: These days there are many ways an alarm system can communicate alarm events to a control room. Traditionally alarm systems have used Dialler Monitoring over PSTN (Landlines) to communicate to a security control room. This is slowly being phased out as NBN (National Broadband Network) is being rolled out around Australia.
- In most cases at Eversafe we are future proofing our customers by switching them over to GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS is a packet oriented mobile data service which uses the 3 or 4G mobile network. This is the highest level of security communication that we have due to the fact that the GPRS units are dual sim ie. If the Telstra network fails it will automatically use the Optus network. The GPRS unit also sends a polling signal to the control room (like a heartbeat) at predetermined intervals. If the control room fails to receive the polling signal, then the control room will contact you to alert you to the poll failure. Because the GPRS unit uses the Mobile network there is no phone cable to tamper with making your system even more secure.
- IP Monitoring: IP Monitoring is similar to GPRS except that it uses the internet to send signals to the control room. It is not as secure for the following reasons,
- Must ensure you have your modem connected to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply like a backup battery) this is to prevent communication failure in the event of a power failure.
- Also an intruder can cut the cable to your internet causing a comms failure. With both GPRS & IP Monitoring you won’t have the call costs associated with Dialler Monitoring which helps offset the extra cost of GPRS or IP Monitoring.
If you are considering security monitoring for your business call Eversafe today on 03 900 10 900 and let one of our security specialists point you in the right direction.
CCTV Video Monitoring
Another form of monitoring is CCTV video monitoring. Video monitoring is for those customers that need that next level of service and security. Video monitoring takes you out of harm’s... way.
In the event that your alarm system reports of a burglary to the control room, the control room operator will log on to your CCTV system and will only contact you if they have visual verification of an intruder onsite. This stops you or your staff from being woken up at 3am in the morning and also minimises the need for unnecessary Patrol callouts saving you time and money.
Video monitoring is a cost effective solution which reduces the exposure to risk for all stakeholders and maximises security with a quicker response time.

Hospital Security Systems Melbourne – FAQs
Why is hospital security important in Melbourne healthcare facilities?
Hospital security is critical to protect patients, staff, visitors, and sensitive medical assets. Healthcare environments are high-risk due to open access, high foot traffic, and valuable equipment. Effective security systems help prevent incidents such as theft, violence, and unauthorised access.
What are the most common security risks in hospitals?
Hospitals face a wide range of risks, including:
- Unauthorised entry and trespassing
- Theft of drugs, equipment, or personal belongings
- Violence against staff or patients
- Data breaches and privacy violations
- Infant abduction and patient safety risks
These risks require a layered and integrated security approach.
What security systems are recommended for hospitals?
A complete hospital security system typically includes:
- CCTV surveillance systems
- Electronic access control systems
- Intrusion alarm systems
- Duress alarms for staff
- 24/7 alarm monitoring
Combining these technologies ensures full coverage, from prevention to response.
How does CCTV improve hospital security?
CCTV systems help:
- Monitor high-traffic areas like entrances and emergency departments
- Deter theft, vandalism, and aggressive behaviour
- Provide recorded evidence for incidents
- Support real-time monitoring and incident response
They are essential for both safety and compliance in healthcare environments.
What is access control and why is it important in hospitals?
Access control systems restrict entry to authorised personnel only. They are commonly used to protect:
- Drug storage areas
- Operating theatres
- Patient wards
- Administrative offices
These systems also generate activity reports, improving accountability and compliance.
What are duress alarms and why are they used in hospitals?
Duress alarms are emergency alert systems used by staff when they feel threatened. They:
- Provide instant alerts during aggressive or dangerous situations
- Enable rapid response from security teams
- Improve staff safety, especially in high-risk areas
They are a standard requirement in many healthcare facilities.
Do hospitals need alarm systems if they already have CCTV?
Yes. CCTV records incidents, but alarm systems actively deter intrusions and trigger immediate alerts. Using both systems together ensures stronger protection and faster response times.
What is alarm monitoring and how does it work?
Alarm monitoring provides 24/7 protection. When an alarm is triggered:
- A monitoring centre is notified
- The situation is verified
- Key contacts are alerted
- Security patrols or emergency services can be dispatched
This ensures incidents are handled quickly, even after hours.
How do security systems help with hospital compliance and privacy?
Modern hospital security systems are designed to comply with strict healthcare regulations, including privacy laws. Features like audit trails, encrypted data, and role-based access help protect sensitive patient information and meet compliance requirements.
Can hospital security systems operate 24/7?
Yes. Hospitals require continuous security coverage. Integrated systems with monitoring services ensure protection around the clock, even during nights and weekends.
What is the minimum security setup for a hospital?
At minimum, a commercial-grade alarm system is recommended to protect assets and detect intrusions. However, combining alarms with CCTV, access control, and monitoring provides significantly better protection.
Can hospital administrators monitor security remotely?
Yes. Modern systems allow remote access via mobile apps or desktop platforms, enabling administrators to:
- View live CCTV footage
- Receive alerts
- Manage access control systems
This improves operational efficiency and response times.
