Security and IT infrastructure for NH healthcare facilities that must comply, protect patients, and actually work.
Hospitals, clinics, long-term care, and medical offices in New Hampshire have security requirements other buildings do not. HIPAA compliance, patient privacy, restricted zones, 24/7 uptime, and audit trails are not optional. We have been installing healthcare security and IT infrastructure in NH since 1985.
The Healthcare Difference
A hospital is not an office building.
Healthcare facilities face security and IT challenges that do not exist in typical commercial buildings. Patient areas require camera coverage that respects privacy while documenting access. Pharmacy and supply rooms need dual-authentication access control. Medical records storage must maintain audit trails that satisfy HIPAA and state inspectors. And when a system fails at 2 AM, there is no "call back tomorrow."
We understand these constraints because we have installed systems in healthcare facilities across New Hampshire. Our technicians know the difference between a corridor camera and a patient room camera. Our engineers design access control that satisfies DEA requirements for controlled substances. And our support team answers the phone 24/7 because healthcare facilities do not close.
Regulations We Design Around
- HIPAA technical safeguards for electronic PHI access and audit logging
- DEA requirements for controlled substance storage and dual authentication
- Joint Commission life safety and environment of care standards
- CMS Conditions of Participation for emergency communication systems
- New Hampshire state fire codes for door locking and egress
- NFPA 72 integration between fire alarm, access control, and mass notification

Where security matters most in your building.
Patient Wings
Cameras cover corridors, entry points, and nursing stations while respecting patient privacy. Access control restricts entry to authorized clinical staff. Alarm monitoring covers after-hours access automatically.
Pharmacy and Supply Rooms
Controlled substance storage requires dual-authentication access control, continuous camera coverage with motion alerts, and audit logging that satisfies DEA and state pharmacy board requirements.
Medical Records and IT
PHI storage areas are secured with badge-only access, cameras log every entry event, and intrusion detection covers off-hours with direct central station dispatch. Network segmentation keeps medical data isolated from guest Wi-Fi.
Parking and Loading
Exterior camera coverage with license plate capture, well-lit loading dock access with intercom verification, and controlled after-hours delivery access through time-restricted badges.
Case Study
Concord-area healthcare facility: complete security and IT overhaul.
The Problem
A multi-wing healthcare facility was operating with outdated analog cameras, standalone door locks with no audit trail, and a phone system that could not support after-hours forwarding or encrypted signaling. A recent inspection flagged the lack of camera coverage in pharmacy and records areas.
The Solution
Arcomm installed 34 IP cameras with privacy masking for patient areas, dual-authentication access control on pharmacy and records room doors, and a HIPAA-compliant VoIP system with encrypted signaling and automatic after-hours forwarding. We also segmented the network to isolate medical data from guest access.
The Result
Passed the follow-up inspection with zero findings. Staff can badge into restricted areas while every access event is logged. The pharmacy manager receives instant alerts for after-hours pharmacy access. And the phone system handles after-hours patient calls without exposing staff personal numbers.
