The financial institutions that can be protected by a security camera system range from single ATMs in a convenience store to large bank branches and head offices.

These variations require different security measures, and purchasing an off-the-shelf commercial security camera system is unlikely to meet the needs of your financial institution.

we provide custom security solutions tailored to the needs of your bank. Here is everything you might need to build your bank security system.

Security cameras

Cameras are a key piece of security infrastructure for any organization, especially banks. Banks have indoor and outdoor security needs and require several different types of security cameras to cover their entire property. We discuss what types of security cameras banks need and where to place them further below.

Internet

We live in a connected world, which means an Internet connection is always going to add functionality to your infrastructure. In the case of a bank security camera system, the Internet allows for remote backup, remote monitoring of your cameras, and a lot of other benefits that greatly improve the efficiency of users.

For example, our system automatically updates all of the software on our systems. In addition, it runs automated security camera health checks to tell you if your cameras have gone offline or are blocked in some way. Video analytics, video alarms, and many other key components mentioned below require the Internet to work.

Video analytics platform

Video analytics is critical in a modern bank security camera system. There is so much data being created that without video analytics to interpret and visualize the information for you, you’d never be able to extract the business insights needed to improve the operations of your financial institution.

we offer advanced video analytics capabilities based on cloud video security technologies. our platform cuts the time it takes to proactively monitor your banks as well as reactively handle events, from slip-and-falls to armed robberies.

Data storage

Some cameras have data storage in them, but it is usually limited. Most systems require a DVR or NVR to manage local storage. Other cameras store directly to the cloud, which is great if you have the bandwidth and a good connection with zero downtime.

we offer a hybrid cloud and local storage solution that gives you the accessibility of cloud video storage with the robustness of on-premises storage. You can customize your data storage to maintain video footage for one month, one year, or more. Furthermore, any important clips are stored indefinitely in the cloud.

Door and window alarms and sensors

Intrusion detection is a key component of your security perimeter. The security perimeter is the wall of defense around your property. Alarms and sensors that can tell when a door is opened is one way to achieve a strong security perimeter around a bank.

However, the following bank security camera system component can increase the security level of your financial institution while saving you money.

Video alarms

our Video Alarms is a great way to leverage your existing cameras for further security benefits. Video alarms work by detecting motion during specific periods of time in a designated location.

Instead of a door alarm that alerts authorities automatically when a door is opened, video alarms detect motion inside and outside the door and then notify the owner of the alarm. Here are three potential advantages of using video alarms for your bank over traditional alarm systems:

Earlier detection: Since motion can be detected outside the door, you do not need to wait until someone has gained access to your facility to be alerted to their presence.

Alarm verification: Instead of the alarm system requesting an emergency response after a simple switch is activated, video alarms notify the owner of the system. You can then view real-time video of the event from anywhere and decide whether emergency responders need to be dispatched. This can save you money in reduced false alarm fines and keep emergency responders free to react to true events in your community. In fact, some police services are no longer responding to non-verified access alarms because of how many false alarms occur.

Better response to true incidents: Once the owner of the video alarm verifies emergency responders are necessary, they can share the real-time cloud video security feed with responders. This means dispatchers know exactly what is happening and how best to react to the situation.

Video alarms monitoring service

Our Video Alarms Monitoring Service can better protect your banks. Since trained professionals review the real-time footage of alarm events, they know exactly what is happening. When an emergency response is required, the video feeds can even be shared with law enforcement to improve their response.

In a recent independent comparison of our Video Alarms and traditional panel alarms, video alarms led to multiple arrests while traditional alarms led to zero apprehensions.

Access control

Access control systems are an important part of bank security systems. However, there is always the risk that a fob is stolen or employees share codes. Integrating access control with video security improves the security of your financial institution.
