With St. Joseph’s upgrade to the victor video management system and installation of Illustra IP cameras and VideoEdge servers, the hospital’s surveillance system will be integrated in one management platform across the health network’s three major hospital sites. With advanced reporting capabilities and increased image precision, the victor video management system incorporates both new IP cameras and existing analog cameras, giving St. Joseph’s the flexibility to prioritize upgrades of legacy equipment over time.

IP models. The organization chose Illustra fisheye cameras to give St. Joseph’s a 360-degree view in corridor intersections and other strategic locations, increasing square footage and angle coverage using fewer cameras. In addition, the victor video management system allows St. Joseph’s to harness the full capabilities of its surveillance system with sophisticated analytics and faster video playback.
