Detailed monitoring and awareness provided by cameras within the healthcare setting can greatly improve the welfare of and care given to patients, and ease the burden on practitioners. The Axis Q9307-LV delivers on these needs. The camera's infrared night vision, two-way audio transmission, and enhanced analytics detect and identify patient issues in real time, preventing them from escalating into more serious problems. Its compact design means it can fit seamlessly into any indoor scenario such as above or beside patient beds and in emergency rooms, whilst the camera boasts an impressive 5MP sensor for clear, detailed images of these sensitive situations. with four built-in microphones for directional audio, nurses can communicate directly with patients with live speech or pre-recorded messages for reliable delivery of instructions, whilst also picking up potentially alarming sounds such as stressed voices, shouts, coughing or noises caused by falls.

Video and audio analytics detect events such as motion, as well as identifying sounds of distress which may be a cause for concern, in turn lowering response times. LED indicators can be turned on to display when the camera is being monitored or audio is being transmitted, which can aid the privacy of patients such as those with impaired hearing to let them know someone is watching. The IP44 and IK08-rated casing is vandal resistant, useful in areas where tempers may be high, whilst also enabling good hygeine by withstanding daily wipedowns from strong cleaning chemicals preventing deterioration.

Imaging and Optics

The camera's 3mm - 8mm varifocal lens offers a horizontal viewing angle of 40° - 104° which can be set on installation, enabling a wider coverage of a scene or focusing more on a sensitive area. Detailed footage can be the difference when it comes to incidents within the healthcare sector, so users can rely on the camera's 5MP sensor capable of delivering quad HD video up 2592 x 1944 resolution, and ensuring specifics aren't missed with clear and smooth footage up to 30fps, ideal for areas involving fast movement or heated exchanges. Image optimising technologies from Axis such as Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR and Optimized IR enable 24-hour telesitting and patient monitoring by enhancing challenging and contrasting lighting conditions, with IR illumination producing monochrome images up to a range of 40m in complete darkness.

Video Analytics

Healthcare professionals can respond to incidents more quickly thanks to the on-board Axis Object Analytics, which identifies events such as motion, loitering, and virtual line crossing. These can alert the user if certain patients attempt to leave their bed or an area they should remain in, or people accessing an area they shouldn't. These events can be configured via a video management software (VMS) such as Axis Camera Station or Milestone XProtect to trigger alerts to staff when events occur, resulting in better overall response times to emergencies. In addition to patient welfare, the camera can also be used in areas such as waiting rooms to detect the presence of individuals, and the inclusion of Live Privacy Shield to safeguard the privacy of individuals in real time.

Audio Analytics

The advanced audio analytics provided by Axis can produce valuable insights for users to act upon, including coughing fit detection and stressed voices detection. These can be essential for patients with pre-existing illnesses where coughing can indicate the beginning of something more serious, and if someone is involved in an accident such as a fall, distressed voice detection can identify calls for help, meaning care can be on the scene rapidly.

Recording and Audio/Video Management

This unit features a convenient 10-band graphic equaliser to visualise audio levels picked up by the microphones which can be helpful to identify spikes in volume indicating potential incidents, even when the audio needs to be muted if it is situated in quieter areas such as waiting rooms or during the night.
