As Safe As A Bank
Banks must meet their customers' requirements for
security in a special way on many levels. Whether it
is with their savings, taking advantage of over-the-
counter services at a branch office, withdrawing
money from the teller
machines, making
deposits via the cash
recycling system, online
banking etc. – for a
long-lasting, trusting
cooperation with a
bank, customers de-
mand the highest
possible level of secu-
rity. In order to fulfill these demands, banks rely on
sophisticated hardware and software solutions that
can be easily and efficiently expanded with MOBOTIX
high-resolution video surveillance technology at an
optimal cost-benefit ratio.
Commerzbank – Competent Services For Private
And Business Customers
With around 820 branches, a consolidated
balance sheet total of more than 600 billion
Euro and almost 36,000 employees, Commerzbank
(www.commerzbank.de) is the second largest financial
institution of its kind in Germany and one of the largest
in Europe and in the world. The bank's large number
of branches ensures a closely meshed network and
customer proximity. In the branches, the trend is
towards "more service for the customer" and this of
course includes being able to withdraw and deposit
cash "around the clock." This, in combination with a
sophisticated centralized security system, reduces the
threat of criminal attacks. The technical implications
of this approach are considerable. Every branch has
its own quasi-standardised comprehensive security
package installed, in which camera surveillance plays
an important role. Once a day, the relevant, locally
stored events are transferred via the bank's own data
network infrastructure to the bank's security center in
Frankfurt and analyzed there. This meets the require-
ments of the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG
- German professional trade association) while keeping
the usage of the data lines between the branch and
the headquarters to a minimum during opening hours.
