Centrally Managed Surveillance System

Inteconnex implemented a Vicon enterprise video surveillance solution for UNMC that is centrally managed resulting in an integrated surveillance system for its multiple locations. Inteconnex leveraged existing security investments to design a hybrid IP, megapixel and analog system that can grow with UNMC—all centrally controlled via software-based management.
Benefits of this new system include:

  • System performance improvement
  • Reduced investigation times
  • Real-time video recording verification process
  • Advanced capabilities including automated alerts
Hybrid Surveillance Coverage Plan

Inteconnex designed and implemented a hybrid surveillance coverage plan for UNMC combining analog & IP utilization. This cost-effective approach reused existing cameras to leverage UNMC’s past equipment investments and repositioned and added cameras to obtain better coverage.

This tailored system resulted in:

  • A higher level of security for UNMC
  • Increased flexibility by utilizing IP technology to improve camera placement

Inteconnex understands the impact that a scalable, flexible security system can have on a growing medical institution like UNMC that is focused on providing the best patient care. With Inteconnex as a trusted security partner, UNMC can focus on what they do best: taking care of their valued patients.
