Sub-theme

Main theme

We are one in each department, so I check [the cameras] where I am, but we also help each other when it’s needed. We can also check for each other, if you are working in a room and can’t leave, but the colleague knows it, so it’s… We help each other a lot.

Improvements in the working environment at night

You can prioritize in a completely different way when you have cameras, because then you can see. If there are several bed alarms at the same time, for example, then you can see, ‘no, that was just the blanket, but there, Greta is up’. Then you can run to her, rather than to run and wake up the person where it was just the blanket and get him up too.
