Why Healthcare Physical Security Systems Is Critical
In today’s healthcare environment, physical security isn’t just about locked doors or security guards. It’s about protecting people and critical infrastructure—without compromising the welcoming and calming atmosphere that healthcare spaces are designed to maintain.
From hospitals and urgent care centers to private practices and surgical suites, healthcare providers are investing in integrated security systems that prevent unauthorized access, improve emergency response times, and ensure compliance with HIPAA, Joint Commission, and other regulatory bodies.
At 210 Solutions, we specialize in designing and deploying healthcare-specific security solutions that blend seamlessly into your clinical workflow.
Smart Surveillance: Beyond Basic Camera Coverage
Modern hospitals rely on AI-enhanced surveillance systems to provide 24/7 monitoring without overwhelming security teams.
Recommended features include:
- Facial recognition to identify flagged individuals
- People counting and real-time movement tracking
- Virtual tripwires and directional motion detection
- Video analytics to alert security to suspicious activity
All footage is recorded in high-resolution and can be tied directly to access control events for audit purposes or incident investigation.
Access Control for Restricted and Sensitive Areas
Every healthcare facility includes spaces that require controlled access—such as pharmacies, labs, server rooms, and supply closets. We design HIPAA-compliant access control systems that provide:
- Keycard, mobile, or biometric entry
- Role-based permissions tied to staff credentials
- Full audit trails for compliance reporting
- Real-time alerts on unauthorized access attempts
- Lockdown capabilities for high-threat scenarios
Systems can be integrated across multiple buildings, providing centralized control for healthcare networks or hospital campuses.
Panic Buttons for Staff Protection
Healthcare workers are increasingly at risk of verbal abuse, physical threats, and patient behavioral incidents. We deploy wearable and fixed panic button systems that give staff the ability to discreetly request help.
Benefits include:
- Instant alerts to on-site security or front desk teams
- Location-based alerting to pinpoint where help is needed
- Systems that work independently of Wi-Fi or cellular signal
- Integration with video and access control for a complete picture
From ER entrances to behavioral health wings, panic buttons are a must-have in modern clinical environments.
Visitor Management and Entrance Control
Security starts at the front door. Visitor management systems ensure that every person entering your facility is logged, badged, and tracked throughout their visit.
Advanced features include:
- Driver’s license scanning and photo capture
- Pre-registration for vendors or contractors
- Real-time watchlist screening
- Integration with license plate recognition (LPR) at parking entrances
- Access control tie-in for escorted or limited access
These tools ensure only the right people are on-site at the right times—critical for pediatric units, maternity wards, and high-security areas.
Emergency Alerts and Mass Notification Systems
In healthcare, every second matters. We implement emergency alerting systems that unify communication across departments and facilities during:
- Active shooter events
- Code Blue/Code Red incidents
- Evacuations and lockdowns
- Medical emergencies in non-clinical areas
Systems include on-site displays, strobe lights, mobile alerts, paging systems, and integration with radios used by security or facilities staff.
