Emergency departments face rising aggression, but incidents are often only reported after they escalate.
A hospital group cuts violence against staff in emergency departments
Fight and violence detection plus restricted-area alarms on XCORE-16 boxes give security teams a head start in the busiest wards and waiting areas.

Challenge
The challenge
What the site was dealing with before deployment.
Pharmacy and equipment stores needed protection without placing staff in confrontation.
Solution
What we deployed
The configuration and how it was rolled out.
- Fight and violence detection enabled in emergency waiting and triage areas on XCORE-16 appliances.
- Intrusion and time-based access rules applied to pharmacy, medicine stores and equipment rooms.
- Density estimation monitors waiting-area crowding to support patient-flow management.
- Alerts pushed to the security desk, with a discreet option that avoids alarming other patients.
Outcome
Results
Measured outcomes after go-live.
- Reported incidents against staff fell 58% in the first year.
- Security teams now respond while an incident is developing rather than after it ends.
- Restricted medicines and equipment are protected around the clock without extra patrols.
