ER and triage rooms need Recognize-DORI (125 px/m) for incident review without crossing patient privacy lines. CCTVplanner per-zone DPIA worksheet (Art. 35) makes this assessment part of the design, not a separate exercise.
Pharmacy CCTV is regulated separately from general hospital coverage. Identify-DORI (250 px/m) on the dispensing window, plus separate retention requirements. Per-zone metadata in the PDF flags this for compliance.
Patient rooms, examination rooms, restrooms — none of these can have CCTV under most EU jurisdictions. The DPIA worksheet flags the exclusion zones explicitly so the audit trail is clean.
After-hours, a hospital is a quieter target. Entrance, corridor, A&E, car park need full-night Detect coverage. IR range matters; lux rating matters. The 171 flagships expose both as filter parameters.
ER, pharmacy, ward, corridor, public area each get their own Art. 35 assessment. Signed off in the PDF, no separate document.
Drop the camera, set lens, drag the Identify ring to the dispensing window. If it does not reach, the lens is wrong.
Mark patient rooms, exam rooms, restrooms as exclusion zones. The PDF carries the annotation as part of the compliance trail.
Filter by 0.01 lux + IR ≥ 30 m. The bullets that survive overnight A&E coverage surface; marketing-claim cameras get filtered out.
GDPR, EN 62676 series, BS 8418, ONVIF — cited inline. Hospital procurement reads the standards reference and moves on.
Patient data does not leave the EU in our default stack. The Art. 30 record-of-processing fields land inside the PDF.
NHS, EU teaching hospitals, MENA hospitals — every team works in their own language while the project file stays universal.
US federally-funded hospitals mandate non-Hikvision / non-Dahua. The compliance flag surfaces on every spec card.
Patient rooms, examination rooms, treatment areas, restrooms, changing rooms — these cross EU privacy lines in most jurisdictions. CCTVplanner per-zone DPIA worksheet (Art. 35) flags each exclusion zone and carries the assessment into the PDF.
Identify-DORI (250 px/m) at the dispensing window — controlled-substance regulations require face capture survives masks. CCTVplanner snaps the Identify ring to the counter so you verify before mounting.
Varies by jurisdiction — typically 30 days for general, longer for pharmacy and incident-relevant footage. Per-zone retention metadata in the PDF surfaces the horizon per zone so compliance signs off without re-keying.
EU-hosted with full GDPR posture (Art. 30 + Art. 35) handles NHS and HSE. NDAA §889 flags per camera handle US VA hospitals and federally-funded medical centres. Mixed-compliance validator catches mistakes.
Free tier covers a real small site. No card, no install, no learning-curve hangover. See your first DORI ring in under 60 seconds.
