Finance and Banking

The banking industry was an early adopter of video surveillance technology, and due to mergers and acquisitions there is a wide variety of installed equipment in the field. Security managers often inherit old VCR systems and black/white cameras. At best these older systems give a false sense of security because the images they create are not detailed enough to use as evidence.

Cameras are used in many locations in banks and credit unions. They monitor the entry to the lobby, the teller lines, the drive-thru window, the ATM and the parking lot - just to name a few. The entry cameras and teller lanes are the most important coverage area. We recommend using a MegaPixel camera in these locations to ensure that you get maximum detail of the head, torso, and hands of your customers.

Fraud and identity theft are costing banks millions each year, and the problem is only getting worse. The problem is that you don't always find out about it right away. IP Video systems for banks tend to have more storage than most. Images can be stored for a month or more so that you can review a suspicious transaction. When you find an incident that you want to save, simply write it out to DVD and it can be used as police or FBI evidence.
