A/V & IT Architecture
Audio/Video capture, storage, security, and compliance design
Budget Distribution
Recommended Solution
Simple, stable, scalable, secure - browser-based access with strong encryption, tailored for training environments.
On-premises initially for full control, with cloud archival integration for long-term scalability.
System Architecture Layers
IP cameras and microphones in each simulation room feeding into central system
- 2-3 HD PTZ cameras per sim room
- Ceiling-mounted microphones
- PoE-powered devices
Isolated network segment for all A/V devices, separate from hospital clinical systems
- Dedicated VLAN for A/V traffic
- PoE+ switches with QoS enabled
- Firewall rules for controlled access
On-premises or hybrid cloud storage for simulation recordings
- RAID-protected local storage
- Encrypted data at rest (AES-256)
- Automatic retention enforcement
Control room and debrief room interfaces for live viewing and playback
- Live multi-camera view in control room
- Timeline annotations and bookmarks
- Large display playback in debrief room
HIPAA-compliant security controls for data protection
- TLS encryption in transit
- AES-256 encryption at rest
- Active Directory integration
