Bank Security Cameras

Jon Jones ● Sep 25 ● 10 min read

Nowadays, financial institutions must balance security with customer experience. Most banks have adopted security cameras and systems to ensure crime prevention, protection of customers and faculty, and security of valuable assets. However, choosing bank security cameras can be daunting, especially when considering how fast technology evolves. You want to make sure you are adapting as technology changes to guarantee safety. At Monarch, we understand your needs and can provide a tailored solution to fit your budget and requirements.

Banking on Safety: The Benefits of Banking Security Cameras

With the bank cameras offered by Verkada, you can help protect your business and your customers. There are countless benefits to surveillance technology in banks. Consider the following advantages:

Deter Theft and Robbery

Financial institutions including banks, credit unions, and ATMS are often targeted by criminals. Cameras allow financial institutions to deter crimes such as theft, robberies, vandalism, larceny, fraud, assault, or other malicious behaviors. Additionally, bank cameras help bank personnel identify suspicious activities both inside and outside the banks. This allows banks to ensure the safety of staff and clients.

Monitor Critical Areas

It is recommended to place security cameras in high-stakes, high-traffic areas like entrances/exits, teller windows, bank vaults, ATMs, parking lots, and all other areas that are accessible to the general public. With a widespread security system, banks are more likely to discourage crime.

Continuous Monitoring

Bank security cameras can provide 24-hour coverage of bank locations. Bank cameras can capture all activity and incidents – even outside of business hours. This is especially helpful for bank locations that are accessible at any time like ATMs.

Remote Access

Security and surveillance teams can keep tabs on the bank from anywhere on any device with security cameras.

Detect Fraudulent Activities

Fraud can take many forms including phantom ATM withdrawals and card skimming. Bank security cameras can detect and deter these crimes.

Incident Resolution

Footage captured by bank cameras allow security teams and bank personeel to quickly investigate crimes. Cameras allow security personnel to collect necessary data and identify criminals. Moreover, since security cameras continuously record footage that is accessible from any location, security personnel and law enforcement can quickly resolve incidents. Without a reliable surveillance system, banks risk great financial loss and incident liability.

Provides a Sense of Safety

With bank cameras, the risk of an incident decreases. This boosts customers’ sense of safety and builds credibility.

Essential Features for Bank Security Cameras

What use bank security cameras if they do not provide reliable footage at all times of day? Rest assured the security cameras offered Verkada have all of the following essential features and more.

High Resolution: Ensure you miss nothing with high-resolution bank security cameras offered by Verkada.

Night Vision

Only security cameras that have high-quality night vision functionality are recommendable for banks. Otherwise, it will be difficult to monitor areas after dark. Night vision allows bank security cameras to capture any nighttime incidents with full visibility.

Reliable Around-the-Clock Footage

Any surveillance system used by banks should be fully reliable. It’s vital to inquire about both the prevalence and causes of downtime and the process for downtime notification and recovery. Without a notification process or a complicated recovery process that involves going to the location, there could be a sizable footage gap. This gap increases bank liability and may impede incident resolution.

Tamper-Proof and Disable-Proof

According to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), banks are required to ensure physical, network, and data security. As such, per the PCI compliance regulations, banks must monitor entry/exit points, verify video surveillance cameras are tamper-proof and disable-proof, and more. Such regulations protect the data of credit card holders and minimize the risk of fraud.

Ability to Search and Share Footage

If a serious crime were to occur at a bank, it is important for the bank security personnel to have a streamlined, remote process to find and share footage with the police. This gives the police the best chances of capturing the suspects identified.

Motion Plotting

It is useful to have motion detection on your cameras, especially outside of business hours.

Storage Capacity

Another PCI compliance regulation is to have security cameras that provide 90 days (or more) of video data retention. Banks must have security cameras that are able to store 90 days of data.
