Access Control and Security Solutions for Banks & Credit Unions

CCTV Surveillance

CCTV has been around for some time but the technology in this sector has changed dramatically in recent years. It is very important that the system used externally and internally is fit for purpose and designed for that particular situation. It is not all about intrusion detection. Having integrated systems that cover all areas and connect live feed to recorded footage proves most effective when it comes to video recording of both staff and customers. Live monitoring enables action to be taken immediately should the need arise.

Access Control

The bank or credit union building itself will be vulnerable to many types of attacks so a robust access control system is a critical element of an overall security plan. The main objective will be to restrict access to certain sensitive areas of the building. The first point of entry may require a door interlock solution which can prove to be highly effective. An access control solution needs to be secure at restricting access for un-authorised visitors, however, it must be easy to use and access for staff and customers to be really effective.

Door entry systems that check the status of entry and exit points will provide an audit of movement whenever it is required. Biometric entry is becoming the technology of choice in this area with a move away from keypads with codes for staff. This also eliminates the need to cancel cards or the worry associated with lots fobs etc. Whatever system is decided on, it requires a solution that is easy to set up with the minimal amount of disturbance of staff and the day to day running of the branch. It should be simple for the staff to use, reliable and dependable.

Security solutions come into their own with the ability to monitor and control different branches from head office or a central location. This means that the fully integrated systems work together to provide a complete solution. Cameras and access control working hand in hand.
