Abstract
A clinical (or other) event triggers automatic video recording of an area in the vicinity of a patient on a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) by a CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) for storage in an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) using coded data (e.g., identifying event type, date, time, duration) and alerts medical personnel to events requiring intervention. A system for remote monitoring of a patient, includes a video camera positioned for monitoring a patient care area. A camera management processor initiates activation of image acquisition by the camera in response to detection of a signal derived in response to a trigger condition. A video recording unit stores data representing acquired video images in response to camera activation.
