Security Cameras in Office?

What's your thoughts on installing a security camera in the office? Do you have them in the waiting room or covering the front desk or both? It seems very easy nowadays to have them installed with the new wireless cameras. I'm considering to install for security in the office when it is closed but they are accessible 24/7 so they are always on. I would imagine it could create some resentment with some employees feeling like they're being spied on? It could also be a safety measure in case we need to document odd patient behavior? Thanks!

Do it and announce it openly

I’ve had a couple patients get real loud in my waiting room area. I’ve asked admin for cameras at least up there to document that stuff as my staff has gotten pretty shaken up a few times. No action yet.

Yes, we have cameras. I've been thinking wearing a body camera for certain high-stakes visits--worker's comp, non-consensual/forced tapers, IME's, Suboxone visits, examinaton of the female patient, etc.

In this day and age, the more legal cameras the better. You could be accused of sexual assault 36 years later if you do not protect yourself.

I don’t see any female patients without a female scribe(chaperone). Have camera in waiting room.

Cameras in reception, billing, outside exam rooms. We used the footage a few times for thefts & disruptive employees.
One thing we learned the hard way is that different camera systems are programed to write-over old footage to save memory.
Our old system would write-over every 30 days (video older than that was gone forever).

We have cameras in reception, waiting rooms, PACU, OR, and near high-traffic areas. These have been useful for employee issues, theft, etc. Thankfully, we have not had to use them for upset/ violent / threatening patients. These patients have generally been in an exam room and received dismissal letter after leaving the clinic.

For DIY I like Foscam, Arlo is ok, Anker is starting to get into cameras and still too early to tell

Planning to get a security camera system installed in my office facing the parking lot, waiting room, receptionist area, and along major hallways. Security cameras nowadays have pretty good resolution, night vision capabilities, and are getting less expensive. Just like any other capital investment, it will pay itself off and then some if you own it for long enough.
