Special Offer: Wireless Alarms
Until recently we were concerned about the reliability and performance of wire-free alarm systems - but not any longer. The Agility system, manufactured by RISCO and professionally installed by ourselves, is a high spec and fully featured alarm system. Unlike cheaper DIY wire-free systems, which can seem like glorified car alarms, the Agility range can even be used for Grade 2 communicating ala...

If an incident should oc...

Phone or GSM Entry Systems
Where an access controlled entry point is a long distance from the main property or getting a cable back to the handset is problematic, a telephone or GSM based system could well be the answer. It might be that you have a remote site like a builders yard or stable and would like to know when people visit - one of the key features of this system is that pressing the call button will instigate a ca...
Country Shows
A big thank you to all who visited our marquee during this year's summer country shows - 2011 was our best year to date. From the stories we are told, I am rarely surprised by the issues affecting the rural community - from fly-tipping to the theft of a whole flock of sheep - the problems are wide-ranging and varied. Sometimes there really isn't a reasonable or practical solution, but where the...

GP Registrar Consultation Recording

Although better known for our security systems, metcalfeallen have for many years been installing equipment in General Practices & Medical Centres for recording Patient consultations for training and assessment purposes.
Older systems, relying on videocassette recorders, were cumbersome to operate and time consuming to edit but the introduction of the DVD recorder has simplified this considerably so that installations are now compact and very easy to operate.
The recording of each individual consultation is initiated, and subsequently ended,  by a simple press of a button either on the unit itself or on the supplied remote control.
An unobtrusive miniature camera & microphone are expertly installed and the high quality audio & video are delivered to the DVD recorder with each individual consultation becoming a file on the recorder’s hard drive. Recorded consultations can be reviewed on the monitor and any or all can be ’burned’ to DVD using the integral DVD writer for archiving, training purposes or submission for assessment.
The DVD recorder and associated monitor need not necessarily be in the room where the consultation takes place with the Registrar able to switch the equipment on and off using an extended remote control.

The photograph above shows the actual setup in a Registrar’s consulting room in Somerset and has not been edited in any way. The monitor is showing the actual image from the ceiling-mounted camera which has been set up to view both the Registrar and patient’s chairs.

The two photos below are from a surgery in SouthWest Devon and again the image on the monitor is the actual image from the ceiling-mounted camera.
