Case Study: Halifax Health achieves scalable, HIPAA-compliant, easy-to-deploy surveillance with Verkada

How a Florida Healthcare Provider Easily Updated and Deployed a Scalable HIPAA Compliant Security System

Halifax Health, a major healthcare provider in Volusia County, Florida, was struggling with a patchwork of legacy video systems (analog and IP), onerous 30-day HIPAA retention requirements, heavy bandwidth and DVR storage costs, and time‑consuming installation and maintenance. To standardize and simplify surveillance across expanding facilities, Halifax selected Verkada’s hybrid cloud camera solution and centralized management platform.

Verkada deployed over 190 cameras across two main hospitals and offsite locations, cutting installation steps from about 30 to 4 and enabling camera deployment in minutes rather than hours. The rollout reduced camera counts by replacing two legacy units with one wide‑angle Verkada camera, centralized HD footage for faster investigations, simplified compliance with 30‑day retention and anti‑ligature requirements, lowered bandwidth and DVR overhead, and delivered operational insights that improved patient flow and resource allocation.
