Case Study: Geary Community Hospital achieves fast evidence retrieval and 24/7 patient and staff visibility with Milestone Systems

Geary Community Hospital documents patient and staff flow with Milestone-Axis IP video surveillance solution

Geary Community Hospital, a 92‑bed facility in Junction City, Kansas, needed better 24/7 coverage of many entrances, exits and high‑traffic clinical areas after its aging analog system produced poor images and required slow, labor‑intensive tape searches. With plans for new construction and increased security awareness, the hospital sought an easily expandable, higher‑quality surveillance solution.

They deployed Milestone XProtect Enterprise with 15 Axis IP cameras over a Cisco network, implemented by ISG Technology. The system delivers clear, zoomable images, fast evidence retrieval (an overdose drop‑off was identified in five minutes versus 2.5 hours on tape), exportable video for police or insurers, staff and patient flow documentation, configurable motion recording and a scalable architecture to add cameras as the hospital grows. Access is tightly controlled and archives are managed efficiently.
