Surveillance in banking

The banking industry probably utilises surveillance systems the most. When you walk into a bank you see surveillance cameras. And whether you are a teller working in the branch or a customer withdrawing money from an ATM, your every move is followed.

Steve Culp wrote on Forbes.com that advanced surveillance helps not only a bank’s reputation, but their profits as well. He says, “In most cases, proper surveillance and early notification of improper and/or illegal activities could have prevented the activities from taking place, or could have limited the scope and amount of damage inflicted.”

The key to surveillance in banking is proactive monitoring using intelligent video and seamless integration with existing systems. In this way, banks can prevent fraud, theft, vandalism and other threats.

If you are in banking and looking for a new surveillance system or an upgrade to your existing system, ask yourself the following questions:

• Does it plug into existing devices and infrastructure?

• Is it easy to install, use and manage?

• Is it easy to upgrade?

• Does it offer a customised surveillance solution?
