JAOtech has introduced a new camera shutter to provide total privacy to patients using the Obie and Jima Smart Terminals by rendering the optional camera completely inoperative. Cameras can be integrated into JAOtech's bedside Smart Terminals for video calls between patients and relatives or friends, and to allow medical staff to monitor patients' well-being. The new camera shutter slides completely over the lens to disable use and has been introduced to conform with current European privacy standards.

The fully integrated 2.0 mega pixel camera module uses the latest CMOS technology and is available on both the 17 inch Obie, and the 15 inch widescreen Jima Smart Terminals from JAOtech. Further features are also available including: smart and magnetic swipe card readers, remote control, telephony, TV tuner, bar code scanner, upgradeable memory, RFID scanner and mini PCI and storage.

Specifically designed to UL60601 standards, the Smart Terminals are ideal for hygienic hospital ward environments, and also feature a sealed construction which is suitable for deep cleaning with standard hospital detergents. JAOtech has a flexible design approach and the terminals are built to individual specifications and can be customised to suit various requirements, even colour. Various mounting options are also available to allow flexible installation in any environment.
