Security for facilities that never close

A hospital can't be taken offline for a system cutover, and a clinic can't run cable through an occupied treatment area. DWG works with healthcare security directors, facilities engineering and integrators to specify systems that can actually be installed in a live environment — and phased so the building keeps running.

The constraint is the building, not the budget

Most healthcare security projects are shaped by what you can't do: can't close the wing, can't drop the existing system before the new one is proven, can't put a camera where it sees into a patient room.

We help evaluate platforms that support phased cutover, confirm what integrates with the systems already running, and review the bill of materials for what it will actually cost to install in an occupied facility. How the work gets done is shaped around you: we can coordinate with the integrator or contractor you already use, bring the right integration and field resources in ourselves, or anything in between — whatever the project needs.

How we engage

The greatest opportunity to improve a project exists before anything is purchased. We support every phase — the earlier we're involved, the more value we add.

1. Plan

Requirements by department, phasing constraints, timing around clinical operations.

2. Evaluate

Platform comparison, integration with installed systems, network and cybersecurity review.

3. Specify

Specification assistance, BOM review, value engineering, phasing plan.

4. Procure

Quoting, availability, lead times matched to the construction schedule.

5. Deploy

Staged delivery by phase or department, coordinated to minimize disruption.

6. Support

Technical support, spares on hand, and refresh planning across the campus.

Questions we help you answer

Most suppliers focus on selling products. We focus on helping you make an informed decision — and these are the questions worth settling first.

  • Can this be installed without taking a department offline?
  • Will the new system run alongside the old one during cutover?
  • Does this integrate with what we already have across the campus?
  • How do we cover a new wing without replacing the whole platform?
  • What are the lead times against our construction schedule?
  • Can we standardize across every facility in the system?
  • Who can do the field work in an occupied clinical environment?

Answered early, these prevent the expensive corrections that surface once equipment is on site.

Vendor-neutral technical expertise

DWG works across a broad portfolio of leading security manufacturers. Rather than promoting a single product line, we help you evaluate qualified solutions on the criteria that matter.

Resource coordination

  • Work with the integrator or contractor you already use
  • Bring in integration, field and engineering resources where you need them
  • Product, engineering and deployment coordinated as one project
  • Shaped around what the end user needs, not a fixed model
