Proper CCTV camera placement is essential for maximising coverage, deterring threats, and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Recommended placements include:

  • Clinic Entrance & Reception Area – Monitors visitor flow and records entry/exit activity.
  • Waiting Rooms – Enhances patient safety and helps monitor staff interactions.
  • Hallways & Corridors – Provides visibility into movement between treatment rooms and restricted areas.
  • Storage & Pharmaceuticals Room – Protects controlled substances and medical supplies from theft.
  • Staff-Only Areas – Ensures restricted areas are accessed by authorised personnel only.
  • Clinic Car Park & Exterior Doors – Prevents unauthorised access and records suspicious activity.

Placement Considerations:

  • Avoid treatment rooms to maintain patient privacy.
  • Use wide-angle cameras for maximum coverage in hallways.
  • Install cameras at entry points for clear face identification.
  • Consider cameras with IR night vision for after-hours monitoring.

A well-planned CCTV system enhances security, ensures staff and patient safety, and protects valuable assets.
