AbstractVideo-based monitoring systems in long-term inpatient care represent an opportunity to increase patient safety (Wright et al., 2022, p. 179). Technologies using infrared technology, as well as video and sound transmission are used to recognize movement to prevent falls and enable the continuous recording of vital parameters (He et al., 2023, pp. 215-216.; Htun et al., 2020, p. 23; Grüber et al. 2020, p. 7, Wright et al., 2022, pp.179-180). Individual assessment of the necessity and limits of application from a nursing care perspective is essential due to the restriction on the patient’s privacy and autonomy, as well as ethical considerations within the socio-technical innovation (Demiris et al., 2009, pp. 46-47; Rony et al., 2024, p. 2). Experienced nurses as well as the public were asked about the potential and risk factors of video-based monitoring systems using semi-structured interviews and an online survey. The aim was to conduct qualitative and quantitative data as a basis for a discussion and critical analysis particularly for institutions preparing the implementation process.Keywords: patient monitoring, video based patient monitoring, long-term inpatient care, infrared technology
