In healthcare facilities, there may still be a ways to go before the full potential of IP-based security systems is realized, according to an article on the SourceSecurity.com website.
Obstacles include a lack of funding and the challenge of sharing IP bandwidth with other healthcare technologies.

Security departments may not be the highest priority when allotting bandwidth, given they are competing with medical devices and systems that generate revenue, the article said.
