LetsGetChecked Monrovia Healthcare Manufacturing Security System
How End-Point Wireless secured a global healthcare diagnostics facility with 44 Verkada cameras and 16-door access control system protecting sensitive medical operations in Monrovia, California.
Key Results
- HIPAA-compliant security protecting sensitive medical specimens, patient data, and lab operations across entire facility
- Complete access control integration securing 16 critical entry points with real-time monitoring and audit trails
- Unified security platform managing cameras and access control from single Command dashboard—eliminating multiple systems
- Chain of custody verification with video-verified access logs documenting specimen handling and controlled area entry
Background
LetsGetChecked is a global healthcare solutions company providing at-home health testing, genetic sequencing, virtual care, and medication delivery. Founded in 2015 and co-headquartered in Dublin and New York, the company operates an end-to-end model encompassing manufacturing, logistics, lab analysis, physician support, and prescription fulfillment. Their Monrovia, California facility handles sensitive medical specimens and patient data requiring stringent security measures to maintain HIPAA compliance and protect intellectual property.
As LetsGetChecked expanded operations, their legacy security system couldn't meet the demands of a modern healthcare manufacturing environment. The existing camera system required replacement, and the facility lacked comprehensive access control to secure lab areas, specimen storage, and manufacturing zones where employee movement needed tracking for compliance and safety.
End-Point Wireless designed and deployed an integrated Verkada solution combining 44 cloud-managed cameras with a 16-door access control system. Our team completed the three-week installation with two dedicated technicians, reusing existing camera cabling while running new infrastructure for access control readers. The result: a unified security platform meeting healthcare compliance requirements while providing real-time visibility across the entire facility.
The Challenge
- Aging camera system created compliance risks with unreliable coverage of sensitive lab and specimen handling areas
- No access control system meant no audit trail for personnel entering restricted manufacturing and storage zones
- Separate security systems (cameras, physical locks) prevented unified monitoring and incident response
- HIPAA compliance requirements demanded video verification of access events and chain of custody documentation
- Limited visibility into after-hours facility access and movement patterns compromised security posture
- Manual key management created security gaps when employees departed or changed roles
Why Verkada
End-Point Wireless recommended Verkada's integrated security platform for its ability to unify cameras and access control in a single HIPAA-compliant cloud environment. Healthcare facilities require reliable audit trails, tamper-proof footage storage, and immediate access to security data during compliance audits—capabilities traditional systems struggle to deliver.
Verkada's hybrid cloud architecture stores footage onboard each camera with encrypted cloud backup, eliminating single points of failure while maintaining chain of custody integrity. The Command platform provides comprehensive access control integration, allowing security teams to correlate card swipes with video footage instantly—critical for investigating incidents and documenting compliance. Product warranties of up to 10 years and enterprise-grade encryption ensure long-term protection of sensitive medical data.
Leveraging the Power of the Platform
Security Cameras
End-Point Wireless deployed 44 Verkada indoor dome cameras providing comprehensive coverage of manufacturing floors, lab areas, specimen storage, packaging zones, and administrative spaces. The cloud-managed system eliminates on-site servers while maintaining HIPAA-compliant encrypted storage.
- 5MP high-resolution imaging captures critical details for compliance documentation and incident investigations
- Onboard edge storage with encrypted cloud backup ensures footage integrity and chain of custody
- AI-powered search locates specific personnel, equipment movement, or events in seconds—critical for audits
- Motion-based alerts notify security teams of after-hours activity in restricted zones
- Night vision capabilities maintain visibility during off-hours when sensitive materials require monitoring
Access Control System
A 16-door Verkada access control system secures critical entry points throughout the facility, including lab entrances, specimen storage areas, manufacturing zones, and administrative offices. Each access event is automatically logged with video verification.
- 16 Verkada access control readers deployed at strategic doors protecting sensitive healthcare operations
- Video-verified access events correlate card swipes with camera footage for complete audit trails
- Cloud-based credential management enables instant access revocation when personnel change roles or depart
- Scheduled access permissions restrict entry to authorized personnel during specific hours
- Real-time alerts notify security of forced entry, propped doors, or unauthorized access attempts
Unified Command Platform
LetsGetChecked's security and compliance teams manage all 44 cameras and 16 access control doors through Verkada's single Command platform—eliminating the complexity of juggling multiple systems and providing instant access to security data during audits.
- Single dashboard manages cameras, access control, and user permissions across entire facility
- Instant compliance reporting generates audit-ready access logs and footage within minutes
- Mobile app access enables security response from anywhere—critical for after-hours incidents
- Automated audit trails document who accessed what areas and when with corresponding video proof
- Role-based permissions control which staff can view footage from sensitive lab and manufacturing areas
Installation
End-Point Wireless completed the comprehensive installation over three weeks with two dedicated technicians. The project maximized existing camera infrastructure while deploying new cabling for access control readers, minimizing construction disruption to ongoing healthcare operations.
- Reused existing camera cables reducing installation costs and deployment timeline
- New cable runs from network closet to 16 access control reader locations
- Coordinated installation schedule with facility operations to prevent disruption of critical lab functions
- POE++ switch infrastructure provided by customer for reliable camera and reader power delivery
- Complete system testing and staff training ensuring proper operation before handoff
Security & Compliance Outcomes
- HIPAA compliance achieved with encrypted storage, access controls, and comprehensive audit trails meeting healthcare security requirements
- Complete chain of custody documentation for sensitive specimens through video-verified access logs
- Instant audit response with ability to generate compliance reports and footage within minutes instead of hours
- Enhanced employee safety with real-time monitoring of lab areas and immediate alert response capabilities
- Eliminated security gaps from manual key management with cloud-based credential control and instant revocation
Looking Ahead
LetsGetChecked has partnered with End-Point Wireless for ongoing system maintenance and support through a comprehensive Service Level Agreement. This ensures the security infrastructure continues performing at peak reliability as the company scales its healthcare operations. End-Point Wireless provides proactive system monitoring, software updates, and rapid response to any technical issues—allowing LetsGetChecked's team to focus on their mission of making healthcare accessible while we maintain the security foundation protecting their sensitive operations.
The unified Verkada platform provides LetsGetChecked with a scalable foundation ready to expand as the company grows. Additional cameras or access control doors can be deployed seamlessly within the existing infrastructure, maintaining the same user experience and compliance standards across any future expansion.
