Security cameras are a great first step, but alone, they’re not enough. They can record. They can deter. But when an emergency unfolds, cameras can’t dial 911. That’s where SmartDigital’s professional video monitoring service makes a difference.
For healthcare facilities, hospitals, assisted living communities, and senior living centers, security isn’t just about protecting property—it’s about safeguarding lives. With staff stretched thin and patient care always the priority, having a second set of eyes watching over your most critical spaces can be a true life-saver.
Why Monitoring Matters in Healthcare
Healthcare facilities face unique and growing security challenges. From unauthorized entry and patient elopement to workplace violence and theft, the stakes are high—and rising. Unfortunately, recent high-profile incidents in hospitals across the country prove that these environments are increasingly being targeted.
Monitoring doesn’t just provide early warning; it allows for immediate action. When trained professionals are actively watching your cameras, they can recognize threats as they develop and respond in real time—alerting onsite staff or dispatching emergency responders.
This kind of proactive protection can prevent an incident before it escalates.
Monitor What Matters Most
With SmartDigital’s Central Station monitoring, you don’t have to monitor every single camera—just the ones that matter most. You can choose to have specific areas under constant surveillance, such as:
-
Emergency room entrances and exits
-
ICU units and patient care wings
-
Main entrances, waiting areas, and visitor check-in points
-
Staff-only corridors and medication storage areas
-
Outdoor perimeters and loading docks
Each monitored camera adds a layer of situational awareness and accountability, without overwhelming your staff.
Compatible with Most Systems
Already have a camera system in place? You won’t need to start over. SmartDigital’s monitoring service is designed to work with most existing infrastructure. While some proprietary systems may pose challenges, the vast majority of security cameras can be integrated with our Central Station without issue.
Our goal is to make upgrading your security seamless. You can “bring your own system” and still get the benefits of a fully monitored solution.
Fast Setup and Rapid Response
Time is critical in emergencies—and our response times reflect that urgency. We currently respond to 99% of alarms in under 180 seconds, and 95% in under 90 seconds. In contrast, some competitors report responses taking up to 10 minutes. When lives are on the line, every second counts.
Even better, setup is quick and hassle-free. Once SmartDigital receives the necessary paperwork and your standard operating procedures (SOP), we can have your system online and active the very same day.
Affordable, Flexible Pricing
SmartDigital’s monitored camera service is offered on a monthly subscription basis, making it accessible for facilities of all sizes. Pricing ranges between $35–$85 per device, per month, depending on your needs and the complexity of your system.
There are no hidden fees, long-term contracts, or expensive hardware upgrades required. Just flexible, reliable protection tailored to your environment.
